PRIMARY.
- GENERAL FITZHUGH LEE.
Alto O'Clock last night the g Lee Club"
with many others participating, formed in
procession in front Of their headquarters
on Main street, and, preceded by Bessnich's
band, marched down to the Exchange Ho-
tel, where they were received with ring
ing cheer from the large crowd assembled
there, and the gun stationed on Council
Chamber Hill fired salute of welcome.
In spite Of the threatened storm, the
dropping rain, and muttering thunder, the
windows and porches OF the hotel were
filed, and the crowd cheered enthusiastic
cally Mt each piece the band performed, be
ginning with the inspiring refrain j" The
Skidmore Guards" At the conclusion Of
the serenade General Lee appeared on the
northern porch OF the old Exchange, and
was introduced by Captain r. E. Blanken-
ship in few appropriate words, Mr.. Pace,
the president OF the Club, being prevented
from appearing by his late accident. ..
The General said that he answered call
from numerous friends in Richmond because
| it would be d:scourtesy to decline, and
quoted the beautiful lines Of Burns to eX-
press Mis- pleasure at such warm and fat
tering welcome from kind friends and old
| comrades. His voice is musical and reso-
nant, and his enunciation peculiarly fine.
He briefly referred to his career as an
| officer IN the sc old army, " the change from
soldier TO a farmer after the war, and the
still more startling one from plain farmer
to a political candidate, then humorously
quoted Max. Adeer's satire, to the effect
| that candidate should enumerate all his
vices to prevent his opponents from using
them as handle, dc.
Then, enumeratng the great Tirginians
OF the olden time Washington, Henry, JEFF
fcrson, Marshall, and Mason-he said it only
required him to call the magic name OF
Stonewall Jackson to show that it was the
same Virginia to-day in talent and charac-
ter. After more than decade OF oppres-
sion we are at last free to follow the arts OF
peace, and develop the resources OF nature
and our avaiabilities for commerce and
manufacture. Let us foster the love and
sympathy between the country and this
great and growing city, our metropolis.
The General concluded by assuring his
friends that their support, independent OF
any idea Of Office, was worthy goal for
the noblest ambition, and would ever in
spire grateful remembrance.
The speaker was Justify cheered at every
pause in his short speech, and at its conclu-
sion retired to the reception-room, where
he received his friends and numerous citi-
Zens who were presented to him.
