General Kemper, tho nominee of the
Conservative party, in reply to the let
ter of the Hon. Thomas. S. Bococl<,
president of the late convention, infor-
ming him of his nomination, accepts
the position and fully Endorses the plat
form adoped. He says: "Under Con-
sentative auspices, Virginia is to-day
happily free from the worst calamities
which have befallcn other States SINH
larry situated, but differently governed.
With hopeful and courageous hearts,
we will go forward with the work OF
restoring our beloved commonwealth by
means of a scrupulous regard for the
requirements of organic law, by
maintaining the ascendency of virtue
and intelligence in the public service,
by dispensing equal protection and
benefits to all our people. by ignoring
resentment and passion, cultivating a
just spirit of content, yielding a manly
support to whatever measures shall best
secure justice and relief to Virginia and
advance the welfare and glory Of the
whole republic. "
The reply of Colonel Withcrs accept
ing the nomination is brief and pointed,
while that Of Mr.. Daniel is very ella
borate, reviewing the questions invol-
we'd in the canvass at great length.

William Allen, Of Ohio.

lSentinel.l
William Allen, the candidate Of the
Democracy Of Ohio for Governor, was
born in 1907, in the mountains of Vir-
ginia, and when q mere youth, without
money or friends, removed to Chilli
Gothic, Ohio. He began the study Of
the law, and such was his energy, ability
and honesty that he very soon obtained
leading rank. In 1888 he was elected
u representative in Congress. The cir
cumstance of the election partook
somewhat Of romance. Allen had paid
his addresses to the daughter Of Cover
nor Duncan Macarthur, his opponent in
the campaign, the young lover and
politician being elected by majority
* one vote. The lady, however, mar
rictl another, but afterward becoming q
widow was welded to Allen. In 1886
Mr.. Allen was chosen to the United
States Senate, taking his sent in 1887,
and being reelected at the close of his
first term was the companion in the
Senate Chamber of Clay, Webster,
Calhoun, Buchanan, Crittcnden,
Benton, Corwin, and Ewing. So close
was his attention to public duties that
at the expiration Of his two terms he
was enabled to boast that he had not
lost Il day or vote in the Senate. He
is the last surviving Senator of tho
twenty-five who voted to eXpunge from
the official records the resolution con-
surfing Gcn. Jackson for removing the |
Government deposits from the United |
States Bank. During his second term |
i'll the Senate he was chairman of the !
Commute on Foreign Affairs, and as |
such took an active part in the " 5l-4o
or fight debate on British boundary !
line in opposition to Crittcnden and
others. For twenty-four years Mr.. Al
len has lived in retirement rs u farmer
and student, devoting his leisure time
to scientific culture and literature,

The "impotency'' of the Democratic
party Is readily summed up by the Gin
cinnati Enquirer, which finds the rep
resentative man of Ohio, the largest
Western State, A. @. Thurman, a DEM
ocratic United States Senator. The
representative man of Indiana, elected
by the popular vote, on a straight out
ticket, for Governor, is Thomas A.
Hegdricks. When the people of Indi-
ana voted for President, Mr.. Greeley
was defeated by a large majority. This
shows that straight Democracy is more
popular than fusion in Indiana. Gov.
Leslie of Kentucky is a Democrat, Gov.
Brown of Tennessee, Gov. Smith, of
Georgia, and Gov. Woodson of Missouri
are also Democrats. In Connecticut
the representative of the people is In
gersol, q Democrat. In Texas 1t Dem
ocratic State Legislature is running the
State Government, and at the next cleo
ton there will be a Democratic Gov
ernor. In Louisiana it is Federal bay
Onets alone that prevent a Democratic
Governor and Legislature from exer-
cising the functions which the people
expected them to exercise. Delaware
and Maryland are Democratic to the
core in their Governors, Legislatures
and members of Congress. New York
and New Jersey are only temporarily
astray. Both are Democratic States,
but were driven by local causes into the
Republican party. Both are coming
back this fall. In California and Oregon
the Democratic chances of success are
equal to the Republican,. North Caro-
lima has two Democratic United States
Senators, and is controlled by a Demo-
cratic Legislature. West Virginia is
Democratic by a majority of thousands.
So is Old Virginia. The Democrats
carried New Hampshire last year.

IN THE YEAR 1873.
[Fron tho Daily Saratogian.

[From tho Daily Saratogianl
Twenty years ago, or even ten years
ago, Saratoga would have been set all
agog by what it has beheld with only a
quiet sort of curiosity during tho last,
two or three days. Among our guests
at the present time are some half
dozen colored gentlemen from South
Carolina and Louisiana, members Of
the respective Legislatures of those
States, and ono of them occupying
high official position in the city of New
Orleans. These gentlemen are of differ
crent shades, from the sooty black of
Senator Barber to the light mulatto of
Colonel Lewis. They are wide awake,
intelligent persons, with as much and
more culture and intelligence than is
sometimes seen in tho white legislator
at our own capital city of Albany.
They are enjoying themselves in Sar-
atoga like anybody else and although
they don't "put up" at our big hotels,
we notice them hob.nobbing yesterday
with some of our first-class Southern
visitors. "There goes one Of my con-
stituents,' observed Senator Burch as
a New Orleans gentleman gave him
cordial greeting and passed on. And
as Ex-Governor Warmoth shook hands
with Colonel Lewis in front of tho
grand stand at the races, standing out
in full view Of the aristocratic throng
that looked down upon them, 1t was
difficult to decide which one OF tho two
tall keen-visaged "Americans'' was
the better gentlemen. Indeed, wo
could not but note tho fact that the
"Louisiana delegation" rs they are
generally called, had the eht,ee Of tho
grand stand the same as anybody else,
and that they were treated cautiously
by the Southerners present, many OF
whom knew them personally.

OUR SUPREME COURT ABSTRACTS.

Not long acknowledgement to the
of the TELEaRAPH's care
fully prepared report of the decisions of
tho Supreme Court-the Homer IIiad
had this to say in reference to an opin-
ion delivered by Justice Morgan, reflect
ing severely upon the judicial fitness of
District Judge Trimble:
The Supreme Court in it's recent ses-
sion at Monroe seems to have travelled
outside of the usual channel of decision
to give the Judge Of this Judicial Dis
trict a special and rather personal thrust
or rebuke. This may be all right-but
the public generally will look upon it
only as a counterpart to the s'slaps"
which some of the Judges of that high
tribunal have been receiving from ruff
fans and blackguards ON the streets.
The cheeks Of some of them seem to
have "bristled" with vulgar rebukes OF
this sort!
It appears that the editor OF the Iliad
was informed that the report made by
this paper was not an accurate report,
and in its issue of the 10th, the Iliad
makes a rctraction of its structures upon
the Court and a fling at the TELEGRAPH
in these words:
1t now turns out that the Supreme
Court used no such language In one OF
its decisions at Monroe as reported In
the OUACHITA TELEGRAPH. The
Court did not use the slang expression
"bristling with errors" as reported in
the TELEGRAPH. We are glad to be
able to make this correction in behalf
of the Court. While the Judges of that
high tribunal are slapped in the face for
their decisions on the Bench by ruffian
rebel blackguards in the streets, we
should still the more regret to see them
carry the brutal infection into the
wording of their reversals of the decis-
ions of the Lower Courts-carrying
personal rebuke and insult to the Dis
trict Judges.
We say emphatically that the Su-
preme Court did use the language
quoted by us, and that it was read out
in open court, and subsequently read
by us in tho written opinion, that, "In-
deed, the record seems to bristle with
errors against the defendant, and justice
requires that the Judgment as it now
stands against him should be reversed"

One of the most painful surgical ope,

One of the most painful surgical oper-
ations is removing nails which have
grown into the flesh. There is no neces-
ity whatsoever for this pain. The
new method is to keep tho patient ten
or fifteen days in Il bed or on II sofa with
a bread or meal police applied to the
toe. This police is changed several
times daily, and the toe is bathed
twice day i'll water rs warm as may
be borne. In ten or fifteen days the
nail becomes 40 soft it may be cut with
scissors and removed by hand without
the least pain.

JEFF. DAVIS.
His Speech.

RICHMOND, Va, August 1s.-Hon
Jefferson Davis addressed tho South.
ern Historical Society, in session at
Montgomery White Sulphur Springs
to-day. He was introduced by Gov.
Lctcher, and received standing, amid
great applause. He returned thanks
for this hearty welcom eto Virginia,
where he always felt welcome, and
whose brave men were only excelled in
their deeds by tho bravery and devO-
ton Of the women, whose zeal and he
roism throughout tho war he highly
praised. He spoke of the object of the
Historical Society, and said that to
write q true history it must be done by
Southern men who knew the facts, and
that all the material must be gathered
ton of the South in tho war, and the
causes that brought it on, might be
fairly laid before mankind. He spoke
of old Jubal EARLY as ono who was over
faithful throughout the war, and rs be-
ing the proper man to carry out the
great object. lie said VIC had been
more cheated than conquered by the de-
clarations of the Federal President,
Congress and the General, for there
never could have been a surrender had
we anticipated what followed, and we
could to-day have been free. He still
had hope Of the South, because what
ever the men might be, he never yet
had seen u reconstructed woman, and
while the men Of the day are mightier
than the principles for which they had
he yet hoped tho children
who succeeded them would grow up to
maintain and perpetuatc them and re-
lee1n al that we had lost. Mr.. Davis's
contain..no sentiments ofhostil-
ity to the Federal Government, but evil
lenced an earnest devotion to constitu-
tional liberty, for which the South had
struggled. He was listened to with
deep interest and frequent applase.
A resolution was offered by Admiral
5emmes that His EXcelency President
Grant be requested to permit the secre-
tary of this society to examine all the
papers in the archives of the govern
ment captured by the Federal forces
from the Confederates during the war,
and to make copies of such as he may
think fit, which was adopted.
The Convention then adjourned and
the Historical Society met.
a resolution was adopted admitting
ladies who had lost relatives in the war
to membership.
The Society then adjourned to meet
in Richmond at the call of tho Presi-
dent.

DEATH OF GEORGE n. SANDERS.

George N. Sanders died suddenly of
heart disease yesterday morning at his
residence, 321 East Seventeenth street.
He was born in Lexington, KY, Feb
ruary q, 1912. He came of a talented
family, his father, Lewis Sanders, being
In the early days of Kentucky man of
much activity and force of character.
His grandfather, Col. George Nicholas,
for whom he was named, is known in
histroy as the proposer of the famous
Kentucky resolutions, and the advocate
of the adoption of the Federal constitu-
ton by Virginia, against the opposition
of Patrick Henry.
Mr., Sanders's Introduction into po-
litical life was by the organization of
the first mass meeting in favor of the
annexation of Texas. Twenty-Five
years ago he was famous as the cham
pion Of young American Democracy.
He was an enthusiastic Democrat; but
his attractive personal qualities always
secured him many warm friends
among the Wings and Republican,
Hislife was full of eccentrlties and
adventures. He travelled much over
tho world, and everywhere was well
comeb. He held but two ohicrs-that
of Consul at London, under President
Pierce, and Navy Agent in New York,
under President Buchanan, He was the
friend Of Douglas in opposition to
Buchanan through the Kansas and
Nebraska political wars, and was his
devoted henchman in the canvass for
Douglass nomination for the Presi-
dency.
All through the war Mr.. ~Sanders's
sympathies and efforts were with the
South and his notoriety was increased
in the closing years Of the great strug-
gle by his efforts at peace negotiations
at Niagara. Mr.. Sanders wrote on
July 8, 1864, to Horace Greedy that he,
with Clement G. Clay, of Alabama,
and James p. Holcombe, of Virginia,
sswould proceed to Washington in the
interest of peace, if full protection were
accorded them" Mr.. Greedy, being
otherwise competently assured that
Messrs. Clay and Holcombe had full
powers from the South, forwarded the
application to President Lincoln,
urging that it be responded to, and
suggested certain termsof reunion and
peace which he Judged might be advan-
tageously profered to the rebels.
AS tho President refused to promise
more than the safe conduct of the re-
puted peace commissioners both ways,
"thc whole matter terminated in
failure and disappointment, with some
evaporation on the rebel side" Mr..
Greeley, in his American Conflict, !"
terms this one of " two abortive efforts
to open door to accommodation be-
tween the belligerents.
Since that time Mr.. Sanders took no
active part in public life. He travelled
some i'll Europe, and was we'll known
in Paris aud London. He has lived
some time in Now York, and died
surrounded by his family, of whom
there arc his widow and two sons. The
funeral will takc place on Thursday
from st. AIMS Church, in Eighteenth
street.

puDuC0016m recognizes lt6 new enemy,
and draws its sword against 1t at once;
for 1t tnstinctively perceives that If it
do not kill the insurgent movement,
movement will, at least, dethrone it.
Suppose the anti-monopolists should
carry Iowa In this struggle-and there
are some 6rst-rate reasons for believing
such a thing probable; suppose they
elect their ticket, and thus defeat Re
publicanfsm on its very strongest
ground-what then? The victorious
movement will burst from Iowa like
prairie fire and envelop the whole
Northwest In its embrace, tearing from
the Republican party six of it's most
loyal and reliable States and attaching
them to its own standard it will over
run the greater part of the South, not
only without opposition, but with a well
invade Indiana and Ohio, and move.
Eastward to meet its enemy in decisive
combat in Pennsylvania and the East
tern States. Indeed, the campaign in
Iowa may prove that it is tho coming
party, for though it has, as yet, no
status and no recognized belligerent
rights, one victory will give it both,
and secure tor 1t a monopoly OF the
field as antagonist OF the Republican
party. The Iowa Democracy, it is
said, will have the good sense to retire
from the arena and afford it fighting
ground for Its first battle. Then, if
1t succeeds, it is pretty certain that
the Democracy in other States will
extend to it the same friendly conces-
sion since to do SO will not only inten-
sify its hostility to tho party in power,
but insure its triumph over that party
in the end, and thus accomplish an OBJ
ject which the Democracy has so long
attempted and SO often failed to accom-
plishr.
The platform is remarkable for its de-
termined avowals and its monderation;
there Is nothing violent or ultra in it.
Its points are: 1. That corporations
shall be subject to legislative control,
2. That the legislature of the States
shall fix q maximum freight rate on
railroads. 8. In favor of free national
banking. 4. In favor of such a "gcneral
revision of the tariff laws as shall give
free salt, iron, lumber and cotton and
woollen fabrics, and reduce the whole
systerm to revenue basis only"-
which is about as good a free trade
resolution as any free-trader asks for.
8. A demand for competent and honest
men for public Office. 6. Repeal Of the
otsSN-o<sASSAS pAAAS "AlA u ACAuAA "a lAS
money to the treasury. 7. A reduction
of public salaries. 8. Opposition to
land grants to scorporation. 8. The
prosecution of corrupt officials rs GRIM |
inals. 10. A strict construction Of the |
constitution. IL. The condemnation Of
both the existing parties for their |
participation in and countenance Of
the Tammany, Credit Mobilier and |
back salary frauds and other corrup- |
tons. 1t will be observed that the
railroad freight question is treated in
single short resolution, which is a.
model of brevity and good sense, de-
manding nothing more than the estab- |
lishment Of one maximum rate, above |
which charges shall not go. This is |
far better than the impracticablc anti !
discrimination law enacted in Illinois. !
