SOME NOTES OF THE CONVENTION.
Gompers says the labor vote will sup
port the Democratic ticket; that the
Republican party straddled on the in
junction plank, and will receive only
such labor vote as individual employers
coerce.
VIM. Randolph Hearst, of New York
and elsewhere, with his papers, have
bolted the Democratic nominees.
The old wound between Senator
Daniel, of Virginia, and Mr.. Bryan was
healed Saturday when the two met at
Fairview, Bryan's home, shook hands
and made mutual pledges. Mr.. Bryan
met the Virginia delegation at the
Lincoln station and took the entire
party out to his house, Senator Daniel
and Mr.. Bryan walking arm in arm.
Senator Daniel made a short talk, in
which he said: Whatever differences
existed between the Virginians and you
was settled when the gavel fell, bring
ing to a close the Denver convention.
From that moment every Democrat in
Virginia was for Bryan and we will
carry the State for you this fall" Mr..
Bryan was much pleased at the senti-
ments expressed by the Senator and
replied in a happy vein, saying: 1--WE
expect to carry Virginia; we always
have carried Virginia and we appreciate
what the Senator from that State has
so well said. And, Furthermore, we
will undoubtedly wish to call upon the
most distinguished speaker of that
State TO assist the party in neighboring
States, and know that we will not
ask him in vain for his assistance.
Within the inner Bryan circle which
considered the vice-presidential question
was, Governor Swanson, and in this
connection it is proper to say that the
Virginia executive has been one of the
most prominent Bryan counselors from
the South at the convention. His
speech seconding the Nebraskan's nomi-
nation was eloquent and well received,
and he was in frequent consultation
with Governor Haskell and other prom
inent Bryan leaders concerning the pro-
cedure and the policies of convention

to carry the State the Democrats, sup
posing them to hold their proportionate
share of their old vote, will have to
change eight men in every hundred who
voted for Mckinley, or about one voter
in each twelve. In New Jersey they
must change one man in each eight.
In California the came task will be be-
fore them, but in Nebraska, Mr..
Bryan's own State, change of $3.50
votes in total of 236, 600, or one voter
in rs will get for them eight electoral
votes there. In Indiana also change
of one in 25 will do the trick. With
New York, New Jersey, Nebraska and

ginia brought back to their old moor

SOME FISHING DEMANDS.

go We reproduce on this page a
leading editorial on "The be-
struction ofEEdible Fish" from a
Norfolk contemporary which ev-
cry fshermans should read. The
secret is out, and through one
OF the most reputable and widely
circulated Of our Virginia papers.
The VIRGINIA CITIZEN and its edi-
tor confess they have been timid
in bringing this matter to the
fronta as it should have been. We
have resorted to private personal
appeals to the pound-netters to
Gull their fish, and urged them to
favor reasonable legislation on
the subject. +" 1t is no fault of ours
that newspapers and the public
have gotten hold of the chief
cause for scarcity OF food fish in
our. waters, nor yet for lack of
reasonable restrictive laws. At
considerable expense. we address
ed meetings of fishermen prior to
the assembling Of. the, legisla-
ture, appealing for a Gull law or
a mesh regulation. Some OBJ
jectors were found, we were too
busy with other matters to 90
into a political wire-pulling fight
over the matter, and so it went
by default - 49,. .--@---s--

The fishing interests of the State
demand (1) acull law for net and

latiOns of mesh and OF locality
and certain restrictions as to
haul seifies. If these are not
speedily enacted, the food
fisheries of Virginia will dwindle

CANDIDATE AND PLATFORM.

Bryan and Kern is the ticket !
all true Democrats throughout |
the country viii rally to, and
with a better show of success
than for twelve years past. 1t
was beyond the range of human
possibility to please everybody
or do the perfect act. Hence
there will be some kickers, but
loyalty and patriotism demand
that differences Subside and all
pull to carry out the will of II
majority. We sec but one weak
point in the ticket-both candi-
dates coming from the West.
This may turn out a blessing;
certainly if the Democrats win
without New York it will teach
the Empire State that she is not
SO consequential. For political
reasons we should have preferred
seeing the vice-presidential nom
inee Il New York, or even an
Ohio man. Ii is hard for us TO
win without one or the other oil
these States, and it can now be
reasonably accounted they will
both fall into the Republican
column. No higher man than
Kern could have been found, but
his location is odds against the
ticket.
The platform is an admirable
document, covering the vital is
sues in a satisfactory manner and
withal conservative-far more so
than had been predicted at the
hands of Mr.. Bryan by enemies
and lukewarm friends. As we
desired, the tariff and States
rights were made prominent,
and on these two issues we hope
to see the campaign fought.
The deliveranceS on railroads and
neutrality-suspicious. conserv-
ative and what are demanded
by the people. The other issues
drop into nothingness beside the
foregoing, and will hardly be
heard of in the canvass.
