grand mass meeting Of the Liberals OF Monmouth
county, to be held next Saturday. The leaders
in the movement are old Republicans. and they
think the county will give the Liberal ticket a
majority of 1900 next November.
The call for ratification meeting in support OF
the Cincinnati and Baltimore nominations i'll
Coldwater Michigan. was signed by 81 citizens,
OF whom IS have heretofore voted the Repubhcan
ticket, and voted for Grant in 1868. 1t is esfi-
mated that 200 Republicans in this town OF o,ooo
inhabitants will vote for Greeley aud Brown.
About 5000 people assembled OH Lackawanna

a large Greeley ana Brown hag.
OF the 200 Republicans of Warren. Worcester

aicket and it thought from 80 to 40 per cent OF
the Republican vote will be cast for Greeley ana

support OF the Baltimore Convention Hree
ley and Brown Club was formed i'll the town last
saturday.
Ogdensburg' n V. has Young Mems Gree
ley and Brown Club. formed on the 10th INST.
In answer to the assertion OF Inc Nfr- ORA
Times. that "more than 100 Democrats OF t"a.
place .op-nly denounce the Baltimore candidate,
a correspondent challenges The Times to produce
the name Of single voter for Seymour who Will
vote for Grant.
The Greeley and Brown Club in Elmira num-
lers about 200 prominent Republicans besides q
host of Democrats. 1t is confidently estimated
that Chemung county, which gave Grant one ina
Iorlty in 1865, Will give from 900 to l,5OO ma
,orty tor Greeley and Brown. Judge JAS Dunn
of Elmira, u speaker OF great influence in the
county, has fully and enthusiastically esPoused the
Greeley cause, amt Will take the stump during
the campaign.

PROGRESS OF TIE WAR OF THE CpLLEaEs.---
Afteraalgallant fight, lasting several days,
Richmond College suffered defeat OIL Satllr-
day, and thes seems now to be no hope for
it, Hampden Sydney, Randolph Macon,
Roanoke, the University, the Virginia Mill
tary Institute, the Rectortown Academy in
Fauquier, or the Margaret Jane Academy in
Acc0mac, SO far,as the House of Delegates
concernedIo Had thefriends Of Richmond and
HampdenSydney stoodsogether as they did in
the beginning, there would have been a greater
chance of their success. The Preston and
Ohm Institute, in Montgomery county, will
be disposed of to-day. Major Sutherlin will
then offer his plan for the establishment of q
State agricultural and mechanical college, to
be located as may be hereafter determined; :;
and this plan seems now to have the vantage
grollEd in both Houses. .s..
iiAn, industrious arithmetican in the House
of Delegates has furnished US with the. fol-
lowing rs the result of his meditations onthe
'land-scrip business: There are ten colleges
in the State of Virginia. This number will
admit of 1,7S4, 400 combinations, taking two
at time, The Legislature was ten days on
one combination and then dismissed it. AT
this rate it. will take 3,568, 500 days to get
Through with all. The cost Of the Legisa-
trre per day is $500, and the cost Of $685.
300 days would be S4,2GS, 100000; and this
Mnount,he estimates rs the probable cost of
disposing Of the scrip.

MANCHESTER ITEMS.

SALES OF REAL EsTATE.-NIcssrs. Robert
son & Bronough have made sale of the fol-
lowing property Of S. Smith Jones, deceased,
for c. c. McI2ae, commissioner:
Lot On the corner of Hull and Seventh
streets, fronting 81 feet on Hull, and running
back 129 feet OH Seventh, containing one
brick and two frame buildings; Mr.. r. 3.
Cerslcy purchaser.
4 lot on Bainbridge and Eighth streets,
fronting 80 feet Oh the former and running
back 100 on the latter, with a frame building
thereon; Mr.. William 3. McCreery pur-
chaser.
Lot on Eighth street just below former,
fronting GO feet and running back 152 feet,
with frame building attached; r. c. Flour
noy purchaser.
Lot Oh tue corner of Porter and Eighth
streets, fronting 1872 feet OH the former and
running back 1lG feet, with large brick house;
Il. Beattcl purchaser.
Lot on The corner Of Bainbridge and Ninth
streets, fronting 132 feet on former and run.
ming back S2a feet, with frame building
attached; Wyndham E. Gary purchaser.
Also, Il lot in Swantown, fronting 60 feet
Oh River street and running back lao feet; !;
Il. B. Cersley purchaser.
This property brought good prices, and
the bidding was spirited.
CHANGE OF PAY-DAY-The Marshall Mills,
for the better convenience of their operatives,
have decided to pay each alternate Saturday
instead OF once in four weeks, as heretofore.
The new regulation went into effect on last
Saturday, and will doubtless prove beneficial
to all parties. We understand that the Gra-
ham Mills intend to adopt the same regula-
ton.
SEALING THE WEIGHTs.-H. G. Archer,
| county sealer Of weights and measures, has
been busily engaged during the past week
merchants and dealers of Manchester town
ship. From here he goes to Midlothian, and
| from thence to other portions of the county.
| It will require some months to complete the
work.
BAD WALNNG.-MancheSter with all of its
mud, does not boast Of worse walking than
can he found from Mayo's bridge to Cary
street, and we trust the city authorities will
adopt some regulation to abate the nuisance.
The wagons and drays en- route to the Dan
vile railroad Gida great deal towards putting
this street in its present bad condition, and
they should be made to enter the company's
yards by the entrance on Virginia street.
A QUESTION FOR TIE CoURTs.-We would
like to inquire if a person can hold On Office
in this township and reside in the city OF
Richmond or Petersburg, or indeed in any
other part of the country. This query is
only propounded for information.
| ANOTHER PRoPosTIoS.-If it is true that
the county of Chesterfield has large surplus
to its credit in bank, after paying all de-
mands, would it not be well for the supervi-
sors, in fixing the county levy, to make every
possible effort to reduce the present great
burden of county taxation. This is matter
in which Manchester is particularly interest

The THEATRE.-Friday night was Mr..
Wards benefit night. He appeared as John
Reilley in the well-known drama entitled
"The Long Strike" It is wonder that he
had the spirit to appear at all, for his audi.
ence could have been counted as easily as it
was for him to entertain those who were in
attendance. The entertainment concluded
with the amusing comedy Of "More Blum
ders than One" in which Mr.. Ward appeared
Us Larry, and Miss Emma Pierce as Susan.
On Saturday afternoon the house was
tlronged in all parts with the youth and
beauty of the city. The scene was brilliant
indeed, and the audience seemed to enjoy
"Through by Daylight" extensively. Dir.
Ward seemed to have recovered from the
effects of his slim house on Friday night,
and played with Uin,. bliss Emma Pierce's
banjo solos seemed to be greatly enjoyed,
being called to the stage three times by ell
thusiastic encores. On Saturday night there
was good performance.
Tomorrow night Miss Wellesley, one of
the most beautiful and accomplished ladies
now on the stage, will make her first appear
ance in Richmond. 1t is hardly necessary to
add that such an artistic will attract large
and fashionable audience each evening during
her engagement.
