BEDFORD, May 18th, 1899.
WeSHS. Editors Ill there ever existed in any
county man calculated to mislead a mult,dnde 10
make up false political issues before the people, aud
to withdraw leir attention from the real issue TO be
tired by them, Archibald Stuart OF Patrick the can
dioate Tor r"section to Congress from this district
Is that man | was present on Saturday, tie l1th
INST, at a Re gmenal Muster in this coan,y where
passage at arns,in the political way, took place be-
tween INN and his opponent Nj. Goggn, and The
pohilcso The day were discussed by them in full
Mr.. Stuart evidently laboied niue h in his haranguc
His whole aim and Drift seemed to be Withdraw the
attention OF the people from the present embarrassed
ana lmbecle condition of The Administration and
10 lead Them OH in search Of The truths OF subjects OF
| MINOR Importance will not attempt To give you
particular sketch Of bis discourse. He dwell a lit
tle upon some things and great deal upon others
lie touched the Sub Treasury bill in very slight
manner, though, whenever he did, il in terms of
condemnation. lie alternately praised and blamed
Mr. Woodb Iry,and came out warmly in favor of Mr..
van Buren,, although opposed to hun IN his darling
scheme aud one upon which Mr. IAN Buren, seems
determined to rlsk the success OF his administration.
Mr. Stuart unfortunately in his great desire TO
ci'a'e the Subs and Conservatives aud TO unite
,heir votes upon him in the approaching election,
mas been guilty lately of some strange inconssten-
cles, and has placed himself in dilemma from
which he will find difficult with all his ingenuity to
cxtricale himself.
Mr. Goggin in his speech charged, land said he
could subsanIiate it by so menu that the county
OF Henry a few weeks ago, lie (Mr. Stuan.) de
nounced Mr.. Hives IN unmeasured terms, that he
had lost all confidence in him. and if he had other
cause for ii, the circumstance of his having been Ia
ken up by the Wings was cause sufficient for him.
Inc next week, or IN a short space Of time after
wards, in another part OF the district in the county
OF rankin lie sIoke OF Mr. Ryes in terms OF the
highest praise, expressed great confidence IN him.
and said II he had been member of the 1.egisla-
ture he would have voted fot Mr.. Riyes for L. S.
Senator.
In short, Messrs. Editors, if you will review Mr.
Stuar's course since the adjournment OF last Con.
gress, will find thar lie has frequently been upon
top Of the fence, frequently upon side ard most
frequently upon the other side Mr. Goggn also
read from the Virginan portion of your correspon-
dence from Richmond during the last session of the
Legislature, which Is known by every person be
from the pen Of X. II. Toer Esq, which stated,
that Mr.. Stuart whilst IN Richmond expressed
timents that savored strongly of Whigism, that he
highly commended Mr.. Riyes's course, and at that
time he was non-cummttal as To whom he would
support for next President. Mr.. Stuart here inter
rupted him by exclaning " II is lie '' is a lie"
As Mr.. Stuart denies this charge fatty, ii seems
strange that he has not contradcled il in the columns
of your paper, which he knows is AT the service OF
both parties, and when he knows well the
whence this charge sprung, aud that it is not the
publication Of rumor, but the dlctum Of one OF the
Editors. MIR. Goggin. however, pursued his dis
course and obtained decided victory he made
a very favorable impression on the minds of the
sembage.
On cur last Court day Maj Holland OF franklin
harangued his fellow citizens of Bedford. As soon
as he arose a friend near me remarked =" mark that
who is about TO address the people, he seems TO
| be built for an Orator." My attention was immedl-
ately arrested and the audience seemed willing TO
give the greatest attention, a more profound silence
never reigned in the Chamber OF The Senate, when
one Of the Lions about make his display, than
| did on this occasion. lie enchaned and enraptur-
ed the audience with speech of SIX eight MN
! utes in length OF which can give you BIZ, II faint
sketch. lie said he was plain old Farmer, and then
proceeded to answer some heterogeneous that had
been propounded TO him. His conclusion near as
| can recoliect in the following words :" Fellow
/ Citizens, ! didn't come out my hook. was
brought out by a respectable committee, but hope

! Col VIM A. White. who has been announ. ed as
candidate for the county second time in your
paper, declared publicly that he not candidate,
and Mr.. Go2giu at his request did so likewise. 1t
seems that the last annuncalion was made without
his authority, although The gentleman who made the
annunciaou under the impression that he was
authorized by him. Capt. Robert l.. Coleman, a
full blooded Loco Foco, has consented at the
mes, solicitations of his friends us in the
Legislature. He is SO patriotic that he is willing
to make any sacrifices for the good OF his country.
