General Williams G. wIekha,


The New York Tribune correspondent
at the Lynchburg convention, charges
upon this gentleman the attempt, while
acting as temporary chairman, to defeat
Colonel Hughes and further, that he had
made bargain to secure for himself the
United States district judgship, in case Of a
vacancy. Both these charges we denounce
as unqualifedly false. General Wickham is
true and consistent Republican. No man
in Virginia is more firmly grounded in the
principles Of Republicanism than he, but
he is not a professional politician. The
vast business of the Chesapeake and Ohio
railroad, of which he is the able executive
head, leaves little time to attend to the de-
tails Of politics. But no man possesses in
higher degree than he, the confidence of
the entire Republican party, and we may
say, also, Of the people Of Virginia gene
rally.
To a powerful, well-balanced and disci-
plined intellect, he unites noble and gen.
erous heart, alive to every just obligation,
No one would approach him to make any
corrupt bargain. His support of Major
Mcmahon in the late convention was dicta-
ted by the best motives. 1t was not con-
tingent upon any reciprocal support of him
self or friends for any Office, and any
statement to the contrary is false. His
selection as temporary chairman was not
of his own seeking. 1t was the general
desire that he should accept the permanent
Craftsmanship, but he could not remain
longer.
General Wickham has persistently re-
fused every office rendered him. The
nomination for Congress in the Richmond
district was offered him last fall, when
his election would have been certain, but
he refused. Should vacancy occur in the
office of district judge the people would
indeed be fortunate to secure such man
to fill it. But to ascribe to him as mo-
tive for the part he took in the recent con-
vcntion desire for that office is wholly
false and unjust.
When General Wickham is willing to
take an office we hazard nothing in saying
that he will be unanimously nominated BY
reclamation and triumphantIy elected
Deseryedly and universally beloved and
admired, he has no need to make political
bargains. For the present he serves the
public. most acceptably at the head Of a
corporation that is vitality important to the
welfare of Virginia.

THE good sense of the elder Weller's
advice to Samivel is confirmed almost
every day. The latest instance is that Of a
widow of 80, named Shea. who recently
sued her godson, MIR. Davis, in Dublin
court for breach of promise of marriage.
The widow to all appearances made good
showing, but the godson showed beyond all
denial that Mrs. Shea was born manoeu-
verer, with whom he was never safe unless
others were present. He also showed that
the old lady was in the habit of smoking,
and appealed to the jury to ask themselves
whether they would ever promise to marry
woman who not only smoked, but, in
addition, was old enough to be the grand
mother of any of them. Notwithstanding
the proverbial gallantry ofthe Irishman, the
jury found verdict for her, awarding her
just sixpence, or sufficient to buy a new pipe
and plug of tobaccol Another melan-
choly proof of the wrongs inflicted upon
woman by the tyrant man

SENATOR MORTON has been engaged
at Washington in preparing his report for
he Senate committee on privileges and cleo.
tons, upon the proposed election Of the
president and vice-president of the United
States by direct vote of the people, in
stead of by the Intervention of electoral
colleges. ~
He is represented as in favor of dividing
the states into presidential districts Of equal
population and contiguous territory, and
giving each district single vote for presi-
dent and vice-President, plan which he
thinks would strike blow at the tyranny
of caucus party conventions.
The Senator will refer in his report to
the debates in the convention Of 1887, and
show how the best minds In the body
pointed out the dangers of the method
adopted. He will refer to the
cases OF Jefferson, Burr, Adams
and Jackson to illustrate the en-
barrassments and perils of the electora
college system. In short, he will advo-
cate the district system as preferable to
giving every voter in every state a direct
and Independent vote for president and
yice-president.. The Senator expects to
Carry his committee, and hopes to advance
the measure considerably before Congress
as early as next session.

: SPANISH .REPUBLICANIsM is fast as
Stunning the red and disordered complexion
Of the Republicanism of France in 1889 and
1880. History can scarcely reveal more
dreadful massacre than that at Alcoy the
other day, in which even the women of the
Internationalists joined in tearing apart the
naked bodies of the town authorities. The
insurgents have fired Seville with petro-
leum, and, to add the last element Of So
cial and industrial confusion to this sad
picture Of Spanish selfgoyernment, the
Revolutionary Junta of Seville has decreed
that all rents and prices of necessares Of
life shall be reduced fifty per cent, and
divided all uncultvated lands among the
people. $50 Z

HON. ID. w. VOORHEES,. of In diana,
has been invited to address several agri-
cultural fairs the coming autumn, and
among others the North Carolina Agricul-
tural association at Raleigh on the 18th
of October. The president Of this associ-
alton closed his letter Of invitation by ex-
pressing his confidence that "the position
SO aeceptably filled during the last two
years by the late lamented Horace Greeley
and General Wade Hampton cannot find o
worthier successor.' The Indianapolis
Journal thinks the distinguished leader of
the Indiana Democracy will regard it as
doubtful compliment thus to be sandwich

Man ?-Or the white Man Against the

This is the text of The Enquirer's long
leader Sunday morning, in which it still
labors to excite hatred and terror in the
minds of the ignorant white population OF
the state. We say ignorant, because such
appeals are an insult to every white man of
ordinary intelligence in Virginia. The Re-
publican party now has its candidates and
its platform of principles before the people.
The question is not what negroes, or Ger

There are IN active work as usual
three roulettes, and one trente-et-qua-
rante table-the table dor. By four
o'clock in the afternoon the tables are
crowded by respectable-Iooking old la
dies, anxious or vulpine gentlemen, and
many heavy-eyed gamblers, male and
female, with the desire of gain and no
other expression, stamped upon their
features. OF course there is concert
room, and many who would think it
wrong to play, sit enjoying the music
which is paid for out of NJ. BIanc's
profits. By the way, this ochestra is
not so curious as that one at Nice of
which we heard There is Russian
there who made many millions of
roubles by railway speculations. He
refuses now to go into society, and re-
ceiyes at his house none but the per
sons whom he knew in the happy days
when he had not a son. To them he
makes little presents of a thousand or
two thousand roubles, and so on. He
is an uneducated man, but passionately
fond of music, and his one pleasure is
to maintain an orchestra. He engages
by the year the best musicians he can
obtain; In the morning they take up
their position at one end of the saloon
in his villa, he sits down in his arm
chair at the other end and they play to
him all day. This is luxury to him
wonder what it is to the musicians.
