ton at Newport News yesterday nomi-
mated the following ticket;
For governor-Wm. T. Kent, OF
Wythe.
For lieutenant governor-A. I. Lin
coin, OF Smythe.

For state tressurer-Joseph L. Crup-
per, of Alexandria.
For commissioner of agriculture
James T. Robson, of Rockingham.

tion-Frank P. Brent, of New Kent.
After naming the ticket and adopting
a platform containing plank declaring
for local option under the unit system,
the convention, which began its delibera.
tions Wednesday morning, adjourned
sine die.
A strong fight developed when the
liquor plank of the platform was under
consideration, and for more than fifteen
minutes the convention was in an mp
roar.
As framed by the party leaders and
the committee on resolutions the plat
form declared for the general principle
of local option with high license, a strict
enforcement of the law and rigid police
protection. When the plank was read,
It was greeted by loud hurrahs, but when
the convention began the adoption OF the
platform the members from the south
western part OF the state demanded that
the platform declare for local option IN
der the unit system. That is, that the
counties and the cities decide the qUes'
ton of the sale of liquor for themselves,
and that the counties also control the
sale Of liquor in the towns within the
counties.
Senator Lincoln, OF Smythe, offered
an amendment to tina. effect, and after
3 long discussion the convention hnally
took the high license clause.

THERE lie no better proof that times
change and men with them than the
disorders now going on in Spain. The
trouble is that a Spanish garrison in
Morocco is being besieged by MoOrS and
the king of Spain very promptly and
properly ordered re-enforcements to pro-
coed to the aid of their countrymen and
prevent them from being butchered. At
this the troops at home rebelled and both
men aud women are aiding aud abetting
them. There was a time when Spauiards
would have acted differently.

established, will be that the president
hiss gained next to nothing. The
president, convinced now that he inter-
fered with the legislation too late
10 accomplish anything, realizes that
some measure of responsibility for the
bill falls upon him, and therefore ne
must go along with the majority 10 the
two Houses in the effort to make the
public think the bill good one. The
democratic members of the conference
committee last night received q copy oil
the bill agreed to and at once began to
study it to fsmilisrizs themselves with
its details aud to prepare a statement ior
presentation to the House when the re-
port ia presented. When the session ad-

THE Wright brothers, for the Nth

to have taken place Tuesday evening
A postponement to the shades of Wed

and eager crowd swarmed on the crest OF
Shooters Hill, where the gathering
scsnned the northwestern heavens for
the appearance of the aviator with al
most as much esgarness as the Millerites
of old when, sttired in ascension robes
of white, they watched for Gabriel and
listened for the sound OF the archsngePs
clsrios. 1t was thought by many that
an attempt would be made by the broth
ers to accomplish their promised feat
yesterday evening, but the would-be
spectators we're again disappointed. 1t
was stated that the brothers had decided
to visit Shooters Hill in their aeroplane
st dsybresk this morning. A few per-
sons who had previously been victims Of
disappointment arose st an early hour
and looked snxiously toward every point
Of the compass. They saw a few buz'
yards soaring high above the tree tops
