Echols that he, Swanson, Is in the Gubernatorial nomination and to defy Echols and all others. From the short notice of Swanson's speech, published elsewhere, it would seem to be an endorsement of the Democrats in this State and of the Republicans in the nation. A Democratic politician from the Eighth Virginia Congressional District ?ays Loudonn will have two candidates for the next Democratic Congressional Convention of that district.

This is a even footing that will cost one hundred and fifty millions a year. Mark Hanna made a speech the other day at Cleveland, Ohio, favoring trusts which has caused the Republican work? ers considerable trouble. The Republi? can candidates are standing upon a platform dictated by Hanna and Cox in Which trust* are foroibly denounced a* uncompromisingly evil.

As there was a maj irity o regularly elected delegates present fron the two counties, there can be no tines tion about the legality and r?gulant of Mr. Wellford's nomination.

These are six more years than he de? served How in the name of o >mmon sense can the people find anything in him to give him six more years,making twelve, of such distinguished trust: He is unfit by associations, pa-t records and by natural endowments for such a trust. He is sapping the strength >nd life blood of the Democratic party. When snch men as Daniel, Tyler, Fitz Lee, John A. Buchanan and the like are the party's nominees, there is a Democratic revival all over the State and voters are won to the party's prin? ciples and standards.
