sanity as the best he could do under the

The Republicans to-day nominated
DR.. G. K. Gray for the Senate, and W.

Our main effort now will be to increase
our majority as much as possible.

ABINGDON, VA, August 24.-llOn.
John S. Wise spoke here to-day to a
large crowd, the majority Of whom
were Democrats. His speech was a
very abusive one, especially Of Dan
vile. PittSylyania, and the last Demo-
cratic Legislature. lie said the Dan
Vile riot was premeditatcd on the part
of the Democrats, and that he was
proud of the part he took in that in
yestigatlon that the last Legislature
was a gang of shotgun, seat-stealing
thieves, and by conspiracy they stole
enough seats to give them two-thirds
majority. He denounced severely the
management Of the Eastern Lunatic
ASYLUM. lie said the Democratic
party was opposed to free education
and to the abolition Of the internal
revenue system. and that the Republi-
cans, on the other hand, were in favor
of both.
MAJOR fetuDOhe, OF tennessee, was
called for, and responded in few re-
marks, during which he repeated the
statements that sill Republicans in both
houses Of Congress were in favor of
the Blair bill and of the abolition Of the
internal-reyenus system.
Wise has been canvassing in the
Southwest for some time, and, your
correspondent is informed, has pro-

against General Grants character and
career. The politician became very
angry, and on his return to shore i'm
mediately sent the slanderer a chal-
lenge to fight duel. The latter de-
clined on the ground that duclling is in
violation Of navy regulations. The
irate gentleman notified the officer that
be would shoot him on sight unless he
accepted the challenge. The lieutenant
finally accepted, but while preliminaries
were being arranged the Admiral heard
rumors of the affair and declined to
permit the lieutenant TO 60 ashore,
thus frustrating the duel for the present.

duel because Of the latter's remarks
about General Grant and his career, is
Hon. Alfred X. Conkling, nephew of
