ment manifest in his condition, all hope

The bishops mind is clear. He
knows thit death is near, but seems
cheerful aud aids so far as he may in
the physicians fight against the disease.
Bishop Peters physicians issued the
following bulletin today: "BishoP
PotteI's condition has net changed
materially during the night. He is ex.
tremely weak, but responds fairly we'll

WEDNESDAY EVENING. JULY /. 1908.

THE denial OF former Governor Mon
tague Of the report that be had changed
his political faith, aud would stump the
state for Mr.. Taft, while little delayed,
by reason of his absence from his home
in Richmond, was confidently expected
BY his friends aud while causing them no
surpriss is source of much qualification.
The report had been induslriously cir
culstsd but It's fist deDi Il by the former
governor will put it to rest forever No
one who knows Mr.. Montague believed
the report for moment, snd the iuti-
nation that for consideration he would
forsske the party which had helped

there are yet more honors for him 10 his

will continue to be such as long IS his
useful life shall be prolor ged. The
origin of such absurd reports as thtt
concerning Mr.. Montague affords food
for speculation. They are probably con-
ceiVed in most instances by people who
might be tempted. themselves TO accept
position or favor from the powers that
be in exchange for their influence. Ex-
Governor Montague, however, would
doubtless be the last person in the state
to entertain such thought. He has
lsbored earnestly in by-gone yesrs for
the maintenance Of democratic prin-
cipIes, and is as positive now in his pc
litical creed as ever. AS governor his
services TO the state were Justly sppre-
cisted, and his many friends will always
hail him as representative VirginisU,
native and ID the manner bcrn one, in
whom there is no variableness or even

The contest between Governor Pat
terson and ex-senator Carmack for the
democratic nomination for governor of
Tennessee is incidentally interesting
for its bearing on the prohibition issue.
Patterson, who was renominstsd,
favored local option. CArmsck stocd
for Statewide prohibition. The fight
turned largely on the attitude of the
contestants on the regulation of the
liquor traffic, both mcn being able de-
baters. There were joint discussions
in all parts of the State. The defeat of
Oarmack in Tennessee, of Hoke Smith

tive legislation in LOui;iana seem to in
dictate some subsistence of the agitation
for extreme anti-liquor measures.

The conference between the members
of the Virginia debt commission and the
board of public works, which took place
in pursuance to the call of Governor
Dawson, was net as fruitful IS it was
hoped for.
When the time for the meeting ar.
rived there were only five members of
the commission and two members of the
board of public works present The
commission now numbeIs nine, five Of
the places being vacant by resignation.
The four absent members sent in their
regrets. Attorney General Conley and
Attorneys Mollohan and McClinch, who
represented West Virginia in the debt
suit, met with those present, and the
debt que sion was discussed. No action,
however, was taken as there was no
quorum present. Attorney MolOban
gave the commission the benefit of bis
knowledge Of the csse. He said that
should the Supreme OOur. of the United
stites find againtt West Virginia, Vir-
ginia would be powerless u enforce the
judgment. The final solution of the
matter, he said. would be in the hands
OF The commission which would meet
