that Coz. Holiday was opposed to
Reputation, but when the August
convention vas approaching he
was inquired Of az to his "views''
which would govern, not Col, but
Gov. Holiday, should he be cleo
ted.
Messrs. j. B. Webb, N. d., and
Eugene West, of Rockingham
county, wrote him and on the oath
of July he replied to them. This
letter evidently was shaped with a
view to secure the nomination in
case of a deadlock between Ma,
hone and Daniel, ard it had that
effect. We quote from the letter;
81 have never concealed my views
on the State Debt.
7 have chosen my own tine and con-
yenience to make them public, con
ceiriag that il is an issue az no W0y an
UolUcd in this caHU0Ss, belonging prop
erLy to the Legislature, not to the
ErecufiUe."
These are his only u~tterances un-
til he became Governor.
When the Legislature passed the
Barbour Bill he said the issue hes
longed equally to the Executive
that it must, to become a law, re-
ceive the sanction of the Governor
and so he vetoed the Bill. Ger
tain is il, somebody was deceived.
When he was nominated he was
expected to defer to the Legislature.
When he became Governor he
made the Legislature defer TO him.
We ask the STANDARD to say
whether anything transpired daring
the canvass calculated 20 undeceive
the people as TO their impression
that Col. Holiday conceived the
public debt issue belonged props
erly to the Legislature, NoT to the
Executive.
Suppose the veto message had
read this way:
40 the General assembly;
House Bill No. 90 has received the
profound and respectful consideration
Of the Executive. It is a bill iuteu-
tended by you TO settle the question
Of the Public Debt. Allow me to quote
from my July letter: 'Conceiving
that it is an issue in no 1Ody involved
in my position, belonging properly TO
the Legislature, not TO the Executive
| therefore veto the Bill.

"ATr. Fowler arose and addressed the
assemblage, presenting his views upon
the issues of the day, explaining his
course upon the debt question, and
giving a general outline of what he
thought had and ought to have been
done.
"He took his little sling and threw
stones at Gov. Holiday, and he took
his little bow and SHOT arrows at the
'fuuders,' in which class he includes
everybody who does not think rs be
does, &c-AGjagdOR Standard.
Certainly, Mr., Fowler has had
ample warning as to the danger of
using a "big sling" since that feat
was attempted by the present os
tensible editor Of the STANDARD a
few years ago in the contest at En-
DRY for the Robertson Prize Medal.
Whether the young man burst the
sling or the sling burst the young
man matters very little. The sling
was disproportioned to the young
man, and the result was disastrous.
All the brains seemed exhausted
in that n effort, which was the
last ore he ever made.
He was promoted to the exalted
duties Of a candy vendor, but he
remained oratorically dumb. He
was then made foreman of a coun-
try newspaper office which was run
by the brains of the veteran ex-
editor Of the VIRGlNIAN, who e.
tired, leaving to be tried the exper-
iment whether a paper can be run
with a large stock of journalistic
impoliteness and a small stock of
wit. His friends predicted, that as
at the Emory contest,
There never was knight
Like this young %LoChnivar;
he would one day shake the world
with bis rloquence. But they had
overcropped him, and, like an over
loaded Krupp gan, he burst ct the
first trial-ruined for life.
