The army ration is all that is necessary for a soldier. I hope that there will be less food given to the men from outside sources. The dainties gratified the tastes of the men, but they are of no real help, and only tend to breed dissatisfac- tion’ where they do not actually destroy the health of the men. The army ration today, as it has been, and as it will be in the future, is a sound health diet. “The principal difficulty we have had to contend with is the recklessness of youth. In the vigor of sound health the young men who went to make up our army could rot be induced to take proper care of themselves.

The sixth district republican convention met at Lynchburg yesterday, and, as was expected, there was a bolt, two conventions and two candidates for Congress. The organization republicans placed C. A. Heer- mans of Christiansburg in the field, while the bolters, all colored, put up Daniel But- ler, colored, of Richmond. W. H. Mosby of Bedford, W. S. Faulkner of Halifax and George O. Houston of Roa- noke were elected members of the staie committee by the organization men. Mr. Heermans of Montgomery was nomi- nated for Congress by acclamation. The bolting convention at True Reform- ers’ Hall elected Robert Cox chairman. The committee on credentials reported delegates present from every county and city in the district. R. H. Armistead was elected district chairman, and three state committeemen were elected. ‘The resolutions adopted pro- test against the “high-handed” action of the chairman of the original convention in “silencing the Campbeil and Lynchburg delegations because they were contested. ‘The resolutions indorse President McKin- ley’s administration and renew allegiance to the republican party. Daniel Butier, & young colored man of Lynchburg, was then nominated for Con- Tess.

The outcome of the republican conventions held in Virginia yesterday shows that the party harmony supposed to have been re- stored by the withdrawal of the Wickham- Lamb state organization is a snare and a delusion. The factional strife is as bitter as ever, and there will be dual organiza- tions and contending nominees in several districts. Three of the conventions held yesterday split and nominated two candidates, each elected conflicting committees and made it necessary for the national committee to de- cide which shall be recognized or else go into the fight with every hope of victory crushed by the lack of unity. These were the third, fourth and sixth district con- ventions. The sessions of all of them were <a very disorderly. One strong feature of the Towa Fasionists.
