RICHMOND, Va, July 22,-The following
letter from Mr.. Blaine has been received
by Mr.. John s. Wise, Republican, nominee
for Governor:
AUGUSTA, MAINE, July II, 1885.
My DEAR Mr.. WlsE:-Pfay accept my
most earnest and cordial congratulations
on your nomination as the Republican
candidate for Governor Of Virginia. Aside
from your eminent fitness politically and
your complete equipment intellectually
for the important canvass thus deyolyed
upon you, must confess that there are
come personal features connected with
your candidacy which deeply enlist my in-
terest. When I entered Washington Col
lege lin my native county in Penrsyl-
vanial the fame ofyour father, who be-
longed to the preceding generation, was
still fresh and still honored as one OF the
most brilliant students who had ever left
our alma mater. Atthe same tiue aud
for many preceding years, your maternal
grandfather, John Sergeant, was the Penn
sylvanian honored before oil others by the
Wings OF that State, cldrttla Il venerable
Ilomsn. Many forms OF assumed aristoc.
racy are Justly condemned and even de-
rided 10 o popular Government, but an
aristocracy OF talent is ne'whose patents
may be indefinitely multiplied with safety
to the Republic. If 'Virginians retain
their Traditional respect for good blood
and brains. they can demonstrate It by
giving their ballots for John Sergeant
Wise. Your canvass will, I am sure, be
brilliant, and, ] believe, will be victorious.
Faithfully yours, JAMES g. BLAINE.

TIE EVENING SHADOWS

Gathering a round lie DIs ipguished 1nyalid,
Taken His Bed to Rise NO Mete.
AS the sun went down q coolbfeeze as
last night sprang up, and again laymen on
the mountain endeavored to persuade
Themselves and othsrs that the cool night
would bring renewed strength to the pa
tient and help him to rally through the
night. But such was not the opinion Of
the doctors, who were prepared TO attend
the General bed Of death at moments
notice or TO wait through the hours for the
end. More than that they were prepared
to find, the patient alive in the morning.
At 4 o'clock, however, ss the three
physicians we're at dinner, Harrison came
TO the hotel and called Dr.. Douglas, who
went as once aud alone TO the cottage.
Soon after another messenger summoned
Drs. Shrady and Sands, and they repaired
TO the cottage, olosely followed by DR..
Newman. The exits 0i tho doctors and
Clergy man from the hotel were, however,
80 quietly effected that few knew that
they had been summoned. Arriving at
the cottage they found the General again
evidently sinking. The General seemed
restless.
"Would you like to lie down, father?n
asked Col. Fred Grant, who noticed his
fathers restlsssness. The General nodded
and Mt the same moment easayed to rise
unassEsted, but the e[oIt was loo great,
and he sank back into the chair, and the
Colonel and nurse aided him TO arise and
supported him to the bed, where he was
carefully lowered to reclining position,
and partly on his face.
LErr MS CHAIR FOR TIE LAST TINE.
Dt. Douglas then rolled the chair back
and one Of tho physicians has since re-
marked that the General has now left his
chair for the last time. The belief is that
General Grant has at length laid down to
die. The family were gathered at the side
OF sickman and again Dir. Newman at
about the same hour as last might, at Mrs.
Grants request, knelt beside the General
and prayed. Heads were bowed,
and silent tears were on the
cheeks Of. tho mon as well as
OF women. The doctors stood somewhat
aside and the family was near It's fast
sinking head. Then the doctors aud cier.
gyman stepped out upon the piazza, and
~ ut near lie p4rlor window, and Jesse
Grant, Jr., joined them at times, but the
other members OF the family remained in
the room and watched ami waited while
the General answered Eyes" and mo" 10
several queations. Time passed slowly
indeed, and at length, at S:l5 o'clock, Dr..
Douglas left the cottage.
"Aow is 1t, Doctor2" was asked him.
"He IS dying, said the grsy-haired ply
sician.
"Will he live an hourP" was asked.
"oh, yes, aud possibly moro; but he is
passing away" was the response, and
after little time at tho hotel DR.. Dougas
returned to the cottsgc.
