The Burlington Independent the new
Democratic paper has the following:
1.-THE right Of mourners to weep and
wall is usually considered to be unlimited,
and whether their mourning shall be long
and loud, or simply food Of tears, no
one cares to criticise them unless there ia
in some way another that is directly or IN
directly TO suffer by reason thereof. The
Republican press, from the highest to the
lowest has seemingly complained and
wept over the removal of Collector Wells
quite long enough. 1t has paraded him Is
an injured innocent, which would be all
right il the impression were not always
given that another was to be blamed for
his removal. Such being the case we re-
spectiully suggest that the point has been
reached, or will be very shortly, when 1t
would seem to be proper for the Demo-
cratic press to state the real grounds for
which be was removed. II we understand
matters rightly, it would not be at all diff
cult to state in clear, concise and forcible
language the reasons for his removal -rea-
sons which would commend themselves to
all believers in civil service rules and reg.
ulatl00, hb tuey ulu W tho \ AcoiuohU 20
amply sufficient to justify his removal.
We do not believe Gen. Wells has encour-
any OF the demonstrations made in his be-
half by the Republican press.
We do not propose to lead of in giving
the reasons for his removal, but simply to
suggest to leading Democrats and papers
that it might well be done. We should
regret to have word said that should an.
noy the genial General or impugn his good
standing. He has done no more than any
Republican in his position has always
done for his party, but that was more than
the special law allowed. Republicans
made the law and they must be judged
thereby"
BY all means. Mr.. Independent let us
have the real reasons. We have been wait.
ing anxiously for several weeks to hear
them; and while you are about it please
tell what Mr.. B. B. Smalley did while he
held federal office.

THE LYNcuBuRe CONVENTION.
A colored Republicans Protest Against
Its Manifesto.

Austin syphOx, n leading colored politician
Of Virginia, was met yesterday By q REPuBLi-
CAN reporter and asked to what extent the &C
ton Of the convention ut Lynchburg repre-
sented the Republican negroes OF the state.
mot ut ALL he replied. "Thc convention
which appointed the committee met In March,
1881, Immediately after Gen. Malone made his
maiden speech in the Senate. It was the
largest colored convention that ever met In
this state. Strong resolutions were adopted in
dorsing Gen. Malone, and elegant speeches
were made lauding him to the skies. At that
time Gen. Malone had not united with the Re-
publican party. Since the convention of 1881.
about twoihirds OF the prominent members of
that convention have been appointed or elected
TO positions either under the national or state
government. The other third OF the enthu-
slastic indorsers Of Gen Malone in 1881 have
since been sailing under the name of strdi yht-
outs or Democratic nuxiliaries until that name
in the late presidential election. Now driven
10 desperation, these sclEappointed political
guardians IRE trying to form Nh independent
party, whose cornerstone Is Office, which their
address Will show.

Mrs. Angus Cameron,s Illness.

News has been received here of the serious
illness Of Mrs, Angus Cameron, wife Of the ex.
senator from Wisconsin. Mrs. Cameron was
originally from Elmira, N. Y. She hos boon a
prominent figure in Washington society for tho
last ten years. She is q woman slightly above
the medium height with a slight figure. Her
features are very regular her eyes soft brown,
while her complexion Is very fair and delicate
Her hair is a brownish blonde. She always
dressed with perfect taste; she entertained
very literally, and was seen Mt nearly every
dinner and reception in Washington during
the term of her husbands service She is yet
comparatively young woman, and had 1t not
been for an accident received by her in New
York would now DO in good health. Last
April she was visiting friends in Brooklyn.
During her stay there she crossed TO New York
10 do some shopping. ON her way back on the
ferryboat 1t came In collision with ferry
boat coming from the Jersey shore. The COLI
sion was very slight, not enough 10 hurt either
one of the boats. The shock of this slight col
lision, however threw Mrs. Cameron who was
standing at the time, back on to the iron arm
Of neighboring seat. This resulted in an in.
jury TO her spine. Ii was not thought 70 be q
serious injury at FIRST but IL has gradually In.
creased. and finally affected her brain. During
the later stages OIL her illness her mind has re.
covered its clear tone. but her physical de.
cline has been SO great that the physicians fear
that she has but short time to live.
