I have just finished reading your issue

promised to send you line after my ar
rival in Old Virginia.
l left Jacksonville at $50 p. m. on The
Goth July, and arrived in Richmond at 6
p. m. the following day, after one of the
most pleasant journeys 7 ever had on the
railroad. This line (the Atlantic Coast
Line) seems to be doing fine business,
and it deserves to, as it puts you through
with dispatch and comfort. / found old
Richmond looking more beautiful than I
ever saw it, and it seems to be improving
very much. I learned that property had
gone mp in price very much in the last
year or two.
[ have just returned from trip to the
Peaks of Otter and the Bedford Alum
Springs, and have had delightful time.
I thought frequently Of the staff Of THE
News and the CIabber Club while enjoy
ing the superb scenery Of the mountains,
and wished to have them with me. The
view from the peaks is worth trip from
Florida. to see.
am glad to see that the democrats are
making such a good canvass in Florida,
and wish nightly 1 could be with You
/ all to take a hand. I hope Gen. Perry
wont get through speaking before / come
back, as I want to hear him.
1 never saw a more quiet time in vir-
ginia than we are having now; there
seems to be really no enthusiasm in the
republican party; but there seems to be
quiet determination on the part of the
democrats to roll up grand majority for
! Cleveland and Hendricks in November
The legislature is holding an extra sos-
sion now, as there was some important
legislation omitted at the regular session
in reference to redistricting the state SO
as to give her her proper representation
in congress. | learn that the republicans
have been colonizing large numbers OF
negroes in West Virginia in order to car
ry that state for their ticket this fall; but
they have been detected in doing SO, and
the newcomers viii be carefully watched
and attended to. I think If the ''rads'
have to count on the south to elect
Blaine, their hope is a forlorn one.
/ see through THE NEWS that our town
is still improving. and am glad of it.
am doing all | can to show up the ad-
vantages of Florida to my friends here
and some of them are becoming interest
ed in it and speak of going down there
