Correspondence ofthe Richmond Dispatch.
WINDSOR, VA, Oct. q, 1885.
To-day has been one of the grandest
in the history Of this county. Early
this morning the people began coming
into Windsor. At II o'clock General
Lee came in town, followed by four
hundred mounted men, with Captain c..
+. Day as chief marshal. Captain Day
at once introduced Mr.. Mcmillan, Of
Tennessee, to not less than fifteen hun
bred true Virginians, who listened to
his able speech with marked attention
for two hours. General Lee then took
the stand amid the greatest enthusiasm.
His speech was able, logical, and full
of true patriotism. After the speaking
all partook of a sumptuous dinner,
spread on the ground. Everything
passed OIL splendidly, and you may put
Isle Of Wight down Democratic.

FORAKER'S EFFRONTERY.
HIS HARRISONBURG SPEECH.

lie Denies Everything, but Makes No
'otcs-Refuses 10 Meet Hon. John 7. Har-
ris.
Special telegram TO the Dlspatch.l
HARRrsoNBURG, VA, October 81.
Judge Foraker arrived on the 1920
train this morning, and was met with a
hack and four horses. This was the
only demonstration made. Hon. j. 7.
Harris and Hon. &. Z. 0'Ferrall were
both in town, ready TO meet him, but
he declined q proposition from Judge
Harris on any terms. The Judge was
heavily loaded with Foraker's speeches
waving the bloody shirt in Ohio, and
was itching to get hold Of him; but the
Ohio statesman was shrewd in lodging
him.
Foraker's speech was one Of the most
ingenious ever delivered here. lie was
profuse in his praise Of the bravery Of
the men who followed Stonewall Jack
son and Robert +. Lee; denounced as
false all the charges which had been
brought against him by the Richmond
press, and said he had not come to dis
cuss local issues or local candidates.
lie tried TO make it appear that the ex-
pulson from power Of the Republican
party by the people last fall was due to
no lack of confidence, and then launched
into the main argument of his speech,
the tariff question. He denied utterly,
and with great vehemence, that he had
ever waved the bloody shirt in Ohio or
advocated the reduction Of the repre-
sentation of the South more than that OF
the West and the North.
His speech throughout was one work
ed by all the adroitness of the schooled
demagogue. lie completely repudiated
and denied the utterances of himself
and Sherman during the recent Ohio
campaign as published by the Cincin-
natl COMMERCIAL Gazette, his own party
organ, and was most laudatory Of the
South and her people. He declared that
all he had said, or all he had meant by
his Ohio speeches, was to express him
self in favor OF equality of suffrage for
every State in the Union and every citi-
zen thereof. When he began speaking
there were fewer country people in
town than have ever been present at
political meeting of either party in
Harrisonburg in the daytime. But
when he concluded the courthouse was
full. lie was not interrupted during
the delivery Of his speech. lie made
no votes, and will be followed tonight
by Captain Micajah Woods, Of Abe
maIle, and j. Marshall Mccormick, of
Clarke.
The evasion and glaring inconsistency
of Judge Foraker to-day have only
tended to make the Democrats more
active. Forty speeches will be made in
the county before the day Of election,
and you may look for good news from
Rockingham.

AMaIicious SANDER.

To the Editor of the Pioneer Press:
Dear Sir: An article appeared in your
paper of recent date, commenting upon the
appointment of Mr.. Gregory of Ashland,
Wis, to the position of Indian agent, and
intimating that the appointment was made
in the interest of Mr.. Villas, who was de-
sirous of purchasing Indian pine lands at a
nominal figure. There is no truth what
ever in the statement Mr.. Gregory has no
interest in any capacity with the business
enterprises of Col. Villas, nor has Col. Villas
any stock in the bank of which Mr.. Gregory
is cashier. There is no truth in the state
ment that the Superior Lumber company
ever bought any Indian timber or had any
intention of doing so. There is very little
of such timber left and nearly all of it goes
into Chippewa waters and out of reach of
the Superior company. MI. Gregory's rep
utation is too well and favorably known in
Ashland and in Minnesota to need any de-
Tense, and there is no gentleman in Wis
consin whose character is higher.
In Difference to the truth, please insert
these facts in as prominent a place in your
paper as you consistently can, as the reports
were certainly dictated by malice and are
absolutely false. JUSTICE.

Gard From Comptroller Roche.

III lI6
The editorial in the Pioneer Press of the
I'd inst, relative to the city bonds issued by
the city of St Paul in the year 1882, for the
purchase of the ST. Paul water works, is
totally false and evidently written in spirit
of meanness, as the following facts prove
1. Ii. l.. Carver, agent, was the only bid
der at par and SAT- premium.
2. Col. G. W. GriggS and myself took the
bonds to Mr.. Carver upon the day the bid
was opened.
3. Mr.. Carver, agent, wished three days
time for settlement, until he could hear
from the parties he represented. The par
ties failed to connect and therefore forfeited
the SALT premium, which was paid into the
city treasury.
4. There was another purchase made of
the real estate on Fifth street for the sum
of $10,0 900, making the total aggregate pur-
chase $685. Then Mr.. c. D. Gilfillan,
manager of the water works, consented to
take the whole issue of $3.50, 900 4 per cent.
bonds at par, which was done.
5. H. P. Uphan1, Esq.,, of the First Ma
tional bank of ST. Paul, who is gentle
man of the highest honor, claims that Mr..
Gilfllan lost $25, 900 by the transaction,
6. The city of st. Paul lost nothing.
The highest ambition of my official life
has been unselfishly devoted to the welfare
of the city of st. Paul. Five per cent.
bonds at premium of So per cent. speak
volumes. l can afford to be abused.

niman told his companions he had just been
shot in the leg. They laughed at him at
first, but on examination found the blood
freely flowing from a bullet wound in the
left leg about half way between the ankle
and the knee. The party became
badly frightened and drove in quickly
to the nearest physician, who
dressed the injured limb, after which Dun
niman was taken to the city hospital. The
four persons with Dunniman were taken to
the police station, but denied all knOwl-
edge of how the affair occurred or where
the bullet came from. None OF them had
any firearms about their persons. They were
allowed to go. The bullet wound is rather
a serious one, as the bone was badly frac-
tured. Dunniman for some time has been
in the employ of Strong, Hackett & Co.
