cy," he will he the republican candidate for
Governor of Virginia next fall. The larger

paigning tour, will, of course, be composed
of colored voters. But there will probably
be at every one of his meetings one white
democrat or Southern republican" who
will read to the crowd two short speeches,

he said II receive colored legislators in
my Kitchen" and one by the democratic
President Cleveland, 10 which he said sit is
my duty to see that the front door OF
the Government is open to all colored
people," If tho colored. be, as they say
they are, like white voters, only small
number of them will cast their ballots for
Mr.. Wise.

GENERAL GRANTS remarkable case can
only be explained by one of three reasons
a miracle, the criminal Ignorance of his
physicians, or malingery in which those
physicians were accomplices. But as the
DAYS of miracles have passed, and as his
physicians are sensible and Old and expe-
rienced practitioners the first two OF these
reasons must be cast aside, and there re-
mains only the latter. The report OF his
illness anquestionably induced Congress to
pass the bill giving him for life generals
pay, and the idea that such would be its CT
feet at the time it was first disseminated
may have suggested it, aud the knowledge
that its untruthlulness was generally sus-
pected may have induced the persistence
with which it was reiterated. But if 80, in
what different light will the General APP
pear from that in which all his countrynen
would liketo view him? For The fame OF
the country it is hoped that more satlstac'
tory explanation of the Generals case can
be offered.
