The Platform and the Debt.

RICHMOND, VA, July Is, 1885.
To the Editor Of the Dispatch
Are you not in error in your quota
ton from the Lynchburg platform when,
in your answer to the communication
signed Subscriber" published in your
issue Of yesterday, you say the Demo
cratic party pledged itself to oppose
all agitation of the recent settlement
of the public debt, "or any dis.
turbance of it by appeal or other.
wise -? think the word repeal was
used by the Committee on Platform.
and, though cannot now lay my hand
on copy Of the platform, l think that
word, and not appeal, was adopted by
the Convention. j. II, ID.
The word as it appears in our files
in the Dispatch of July 20, 1888, i,
appeal" 1t would seem, however
that it ought to be repeal. "-Edito,
Dispatch.
RICHMOND, July %, 1855.
To the Editor Of the Dispatch
noticed the above in your paper oil
the 18th instant. Having had the honor
Of being secretary of the Lynchburg
Democratic Convention, have in my
possession the original draft of our
platform, and find the following:
1.-THE STATE DEBT.
The Democratic party accepts as
final the recent settlement Of the pub
lie debt pronounced constitutional by
the courts Of last resort, State and
Federal, ard will oppose all further agi-
tation of the question. or any disturb
ancs of that settlement by repeal or
otherwise"
Which was adopted by the Conven-
ton. Very respectfully,
j. BELL BIGGER.

THE COMETS INFLUENCE.

Our genial friend, Joe Pierce, who
moved from Bulls Gap to this place
has been reader OF THE COMET for a
year. He observed through its col
umns the progress Of the city, and its
bright prospects, and concluded that
it would be fine place for a stove and
tin house. The firm was organised
uader the name OF Splitter & Co. The
business was begun hardly . month
ago. but we learn that it has been very
successful. Last week . contract was
made to do $500 worth OF work for
one man. We believe these gentle
men will be very prosperous. THE
COMET will continue to say that John
con City is first class place to do a
good business in any lias.
