LITi0S MISREPRESENTATION CHANGES.
Correspondence Of the Richmond Dispatch.l
BOYDT0Y, Va, September II, 1888.
Major Baker i. Lee made splendid
speech here to-day, which intensified the
strong Democratic feeling already existing
in this county. There was no one TO rep
resent the Coalitionists except fifteen or
twenty negro orators, who have been speak
ing to a crowd OF negroes and about half
dozen whites in the corner OF the court
house square all day. They are more split
up than ever before. They had a conyen-
ton here some two weeks ago, which di-
yided and nominated both Ross Hamilton
and Amos Dodson. Malone made them
call another convention to meet on the
oath. but they will split again.
The Democratic Convention meets here
on the 10Th, and will nominate square
Democrat, who will receive the largest
Democratic vote polled in this county in
OF years. II the change in other
counties has been the same rs in this, we

The IInnahast Failure.

While the closing down Of the Coilar
mill in the Warm Springs district, Tor
the lack Of water, owing to the freezing
nm of a worthless wooden hume, has
been quite a disappointment, and cast
something Of a gloom over our camp
the failure of Tillinghast & Co., and the
the consequent shutting down Of the
smelter In the Barker district, is a dis
aster with which ours is no comparison.
The Gripping of either camp would be
a severe blow to the mining interest
throughout the territory, as it would
tend to discourage capitalists, who are
already timId enough, from investing
in this region. At present things are
IN n terrible commotion at Barker, and
the different creditors are placing hen
after lien upon the property OF the
company, The smelter has been ship
ping bullion for several months past,
and according to all reports WAS prov
ing a paying enterprise, so the failure
of Tillinghast & Co, must be attributed
to other causes than the operating oil
these works. 1t is hoped that Montana
capitalists will come to the rescue OF
the Barker smelter and place 1t ON
solid financial footing, Benton cannot
afford to see so valuable a district, lying
at its doors, paralyzed indefinitely ,wher
right on the virgo Of success. 1t J.
reported the First National Bank o
Benton levied the first attachment
amounting to $4,000. and the Firs
National Bank of Helena, a second o
$4,000.
We predict that Benton and Helen'
capitalists will get control ofthe smelte
and that within a short time e%verythin
will be gliding along smoothly in on
neighboring camp. We hope so g
least.

H. w. Love, publisher of the Re-
view, and at whose instigation the liq-
uor prosecutions at Rutland have been
made, is the victim of quite number
of prosecutions which his friends claim
are inspired by the liquor interest. 1t
was recently reported by the Troy pa
pers that he left town to escape arrest
on some very damaging charges that
were to be made against him. He re-
turned and on the first day of his reap
pearance was arrested for contempt of
court for not answering to Il subpoena III

to show some bad things against him.
He was discharged, the justice holding
that he had good excuse for not an
swering the subpoena i'll his wife's sick
ness in New Jersey.
The next case was his arrest charged
with an attempt at rape on IA fifteen
year-old girl who worked at Mr.. Loves
house in January, lee2. The testimony

states that while she was employed at

two days and nights that she, the wit
ness, wanted to 90 to her home at
night, not considering it proper To stay
/ in the house alone with Mr.. Love; but
that he would not let her go, and dur
ing his wife's absence made an indie

went ts her room while she was un-
dressing, and wanted to kiss her. Love
admitted attempting to hug and kiss
the girl but the evidence was consid-
cred 10y the court insufficient to sub
stantiate the charge made against him,
and he was discharged.
On Monday of last week he was
again arrested on another complaint
