The S-Page Dropped.

For the present the S-page sheet
which we have issued for month,
will be discontinued, and the usual
paper issued. The experiment has
proven, not quite as successful as
was anticipated, the chief cause being
the present money stringency. While
the additional cost was not consider
able 1t was more than we felt called
upon to bear, particularly when so
few OF our readers seemed to appreci-
ate 1t. A great many did appreciate
the larger paper, but took it all out
In talk, and talk alone never did
pay bills. We hope to resume the
enlarged paper soon.

NOTES AND COMMENTS.

Only the names OF the delegates of
the Roanoke convention are given
here. The usual number of aIternates
were elected. While the convention
cannot he said 10 have been entirely
harmonious, there was nothing bitter
or fractional in the proceedings or
the decisions reached. Oppos ition was
expressed TO number OF the resolu-
tions offered, and number OF the
delegates expressed themselves quite
freely, but in the end nearly every
resolution and motion offered was
made unanimous, as rule. When
a resolution was offered upon the
convention could not argee said
motion or resolution was deliberately
Laid on the table" and that was
the end of il.
The principle, and about the only
discussion, took place upon the ques-
tion OF reorganization OF the county
Committee. A number OF people
came TO the convention expecting
something to happen, but the
something didn't happen nor did the
anticipated row materialize The on
ly question about which there was
any marked difference In opinion or
sharp discussion at all was on the
question OF reorganization. 1t was
the opinion OF the majority OF the
members OF the convention that the
time had come for n thorough and
entire reorganization and the election
OF an entire new SET OF officers. This
necessity was determined and forci-
ably stated In addresses delivered by
Major II. II. Henry, and DIR. l.. j.
Stump OF Pocahontas, when the ques-
tion of the adoption OF the resolution
offered endorsing, and as the con-
vention seemed To think, instructinq
the new county Committee for the
reelection OF Mr.. V. l.. Sexton as
county Chairman. These speakers,
while positive in their opinions, that
there ought TO be new entire reor-
ganization were equally positive in
tlfefr expression OF confidence and
respect for Mr.. Sexton, and their ap-
probation OF the work which he had
earnestly tried TO do in the past as
chairman Of the county Democratic
Committee. And this was also true
with regard to every member OF the
old committee and the leaders Messrs
L. A. Lynch and G.. w. Doak, who
have stood by the party for years and
did all they could for its success
when other democrats of the county
stood aloof and were inactive. While
the convention expressed its appre
citation of the work OF the formel
cOmmittee they felt that there wa,

THE ENDORSEM ENT OF
SENATORS.

The convention did one inconsistent
and thoughtless thing, I'm the esti-
nation of great many people, in
passing the resolution recommending
Mesrss Daniel and Martin as dele
gates at large 10 the Denver Conven-
tion and at the same time instructlng
the delegates To Roanoke for Mr..
Bryan as IL Is well known that Sem
ator Daniel Is not favorable TO the
nomination OF Mr.. Bryan. 1t Is safe
TO say, that this resolution would not
have been passed had il not been
embodied in the resolution as "A part
OF the same, which endorsed and ap-
proved the course of these gentlemen
in Congress. To pass resolution en-
dorsing n gentleman as delegate TO
Denver who they knew To De opposed
10 the candidate for whom they had
Instructed their own delegates TO vote
was an oversight and mistake
which should not have been made,
and 1t is safe TO say would not occur
II the thing had TO be done over
again. Senator Daniel has may warm
friends and admirers among the
Democrats OF this county, who are
not unmindful OF the splendid
service which he has rendered the
State, and they would like 10 see
him a delegate In the Denver Con-
vention, as n mouthpiece for the Vir-
ginia delegation, provided, he can go
To Denver as the real representative
OF their wishes. This county and this
entire section are overwhelmingly
for Mr.. Bryan, and they will not
sanction the recommending OF any
man To the Denver convention to ex-
press their will and cast their ballot
who does not also favor the great
Commoner. Hence the passing Of
these two antagonistic resolutions
the one recommendingSenat Daniel
as delegate-at-large and the other In
structing the delegates to Roanoke TO
cast their vote to such men only as
are In favor of Mr.. Bryan was an
oversight and an inconsistency, which
to put it&miIdly,is is funny. Some few
men in the convention saw this in
congruitysand voted against the reso-
luton endorsing Senator Daniel az a
delegate to,the Denver Convention.
THE PRIMARY PLAN.
A resolution was offered In the con-
vention' heartily endorsing the theory
OF the primary system but recon-
mended that the present provision OF
the plan which imposes such heavy
cost upon the candidates be changed
and some more economical ana eauit-
able provision be substituted or the
plan abolished. This resolution.
though evidently popular with the
majority, and expressing the senti-
ments not only of the majority OF
the Democrats OF this section but OF
the entire state, failed to come Ia
vote on account of some opposi-
tion expressed TO Ii and the Offering
OF an amendment. The question came
rs the last thing and near the close
/ OF the convention, when many OF the

carried, and that ended it. The

take up the question, which it ought
TO do I'm Difference TO the almost un-
