Discussion I'm Buckingham County.
BNCKINGHAM COURTHOUSE, !
n.foHo. 10 1901

October 10, 1891.
Editors Dispatch: Great crowds here to-
day. The weather fine and being too dry
to seed wheat, the people turned in full
force. Yice-Presdent Ficklcn, OF the Buck
ingham railroad, informed the people that
Major Dimmock, with q corps OF engineers,
would commence the survey Of that road
on the 18th instant, and that in short time
contracts would be let and work COM
mence. This news seemed 10 put all hands
in good humor.
A discussion was arranged between
Hon. John Paul for the Mahoneites, and
Colonel G. Il. O'Ferrall, Of Rockingham,
for the Democracy. The last-named gen
tleman led off in a speech Of one hour and
q quarter Of great power. Paul followed
in the same time, and his speech, as an ap-
peal to the worst passions and prejudicCs
of race and social condition, has never
been equalled on the hastings. O'Ferrall
responded in speech Of half an hour,
and his friends were completely de-
lighted mt his success in completely
unhOrsing the Hon. John. OFFER
rail- piled him with questions and
forced him to say that he was Democrat.
He asked him whether he would advise
this people TO vote for Ficklen, the man
who was doing more for buckingham
county than any two hundred men had
ever done, or the negro Shed. Dungee, his
opponent. Paul eyaded the question and
would not come TO the book. Our party
are in fine spirits. The young, active men
are at work, and the pure matrons and fair
maidens Of old Buckingham are eXerting
their vast influences to preserve the county
and district from negro rule.
Yours, NEW STORE.

How srr. BIaine,s letter Got Out.

PHILADELPHIA, October 10.-The Phils-
delphia Press Of tomorrow morning will
make the following editorial statement /:
"Papers in various parts OF the country
have spoken of Secretary Blaine's letter to
the late President rs published by his de-
sire or consent. This is entirely erroneous,
the simple fact being that the letter was
sent to the editor Of the Press by promi-
nent gentleman In Western Pennsylvania,
to whom the President read it at Mentor
last January, and on his earnest request
gave him copy. The gentleman thought
he violated no confidence In giving it to the
public after the Presidents death, and he
did not consult Mr.. Blaine about the mat
ter, taking the responsibility himself"
