We have received, with the compli-
ments of Geo. B. Sydnor, two copies
OF the Richmond, Va. Wing. One
copy is dated November 2. 1t is full of
big head lines, and its leading edito-
rial starts off in this grandiloquent style:
"Friends, countrymen, republicans!
victory is before us, within u grasp.
From every section of the state come
the glad tidings of our brethren eager
for the fray and confident of victory"
The next number is dated November 4,
and there is a conspicuous absence of
headlines. The thing looks sick. This
sickness has since proven fatal, as the
following news item will show:-"The
demise of Mahone's Richmond Wing as
soon as the state and national govern
ments both passed into democratic
hands tells the story of how the thing
was supported. Having no support
from the people, it died when its boss
lost his grip on the spoils." Poor old
Wing! Glorious old Virginia!

TBl I4ExINGTON IlTEILIGE NCEE. SATURDAY. NOVEN

The board of directors of the st.
Louis & Kansas City Short Line, have
directed their corps of engineers to pro-
coed from Lexington to Columbia to
complete the survey to uowelr's ferry
neal St. Louis, some 80 miles in dis
lance, then to return to Lexington III
order to run a river line via. Waveriy;
also to complete the line to Kansas
City. This action of the board was
based upon the fact that it would tax
considerable time to III the lines in
this county, while from Columbia east
it will only be necessary to run one
line, thus giving the distance between
the terminal points, as the distance
from here toKansas City is well known.
The outlook is most favorable for this
road. The grade will be less than so
feet to the mile, and the distance 80
miles nearer than by any other route.
MI. Geo. Wilson pleases himself by
making merry at our expense for hav-
ing twice been candidate for secretary
of state. In each case we received the
united support of the democratic con-
vention of our county, every vote of
every Lafayette county delegate upon
every ballot, several hundred votes in the
state convention, and came very near to
nomination. We know it is very wrong
for a newspaper nan to aspire to pre-
ferment of any kind. 1t is his duty to
keep in the background and boost
other people. But at least it may be
said of US that we have never yet been
such a hebetudinous simplcton as to
run for an Office for which we could
not get even II vote from the political
party with which we are associated.
The reason there is a republican leg
islature elected in New York when Il
majority of the people vote the demo-
cratic ticket is very plain. 1t is because
of q scientific and cold bloOded repub-
lican Gerrymander.
