LEE IN TIE SOUTHWEST.


A Grand Day in Tszeweii- An Ovation
20 Lee = He Makes . Splendid inprss-
alan.
Correspondence ofthe Richmond Dispatch.
TAzEwELL COURTHOUSE, VA,
October 8, 1885.
General Lee spoke to very large
audience yesterday at Midway, the mid
way between Lebanon and this place.
This morning brought together the
largest gathering ever witnessed in the
place. The General was escorted by q
column Of horsemen numbering many
hundreds. The ladies had the stand
beautifully decorated with the varie-
gated forest leaves, eyergreens, and
flowers. They were present in large
numbers, although the weather was
threatening. Several times the speaker
was compelled to suspend for passing
shower.
The speech was up to the demands
Of the issues Of the canvass. No ques-
ton of vital interest was overlooked.
The manner as we'll as the matter Of the
speech was well suited to the tastes Of
the people, and did much good. The
contrast in the animas Of the speech OF
Lee with that Of the speech Of Wise made
here made decided impression in Lees
favor. The general idea Of this speech
was an effort to reconcile the differences
in the two sections, North and South
and plea for concord throughout the
nation. Such enthusiasm has never
been witnessed here. The Democrats
are elated, the Republicans depressed
The latter will roost lower after No
vember. General Lee speaks in Burk''
Garden tomorrow.

New ROOk ON silver.

The american Dollar 4; and the Anglo
German Combination TO Make Gold
Dearer. BY ROBERT w. HUGHES.
Richmond, Va: WEST, JOHNSTON
& Co. 1885. Eighty pages. Price
so cents.
We have read this little book Of
Judge HUGnEs's with much satisfac-
ton. II discusses currency problems
with great force. Els first quotation
is striking and states a fact. The venera-
BILE NJ. DUMAS, in the French Senate,
1870, said:
"Those who approach these ques-
tons for the first time decide them at
once. Those who study them with
care hesitate. Those who are obliged
practically to decide them, doubt and
stop, overwhelmed with the weight Of
the responsibility"
The French statesman described in
the first two lines the monometallists of
the New York Herald. We may here
after notice Judge HUGHEs's argu-
ments more at length. At present, we
state that he advocates the present sill
yer dollar, not one of full weight,
though he few years ago wished to
increase the amount Of silver in the
dollar. lie gives strong reasons for his
change Of opinion. lie shows that
compared with the average prices Of
commodities in general, gold has been
run twenty per cent. above its
par value; also, that q silver dol
lar will purchase now as MUCH as,
or more Of commodities than, it ever
would before. In word, he proves
that silver has not lost any OF its pur-
chasing power, but gold has increased
in its purchasing power, and argues
that the decentralization of silver would
surely be followed by business stagna-
ton and very soon commercial death.

Tragic Ending OF a Romance,

a Milwaukee wis., special Of the
9th says: The tragical sequel to a ro-
mantle affair is reported tonight from
Port Washington, Wis. Mrs. Alice
Lane, who was formerly Miss Alice
Towsley, has just returned from Texas
a widow. 1t will be remembered that
two months ago long descriptions of a
romantic marriage were telegraphed
from Fort Worth, Texas. The story
as reported then was as follows:
The midnight west-bound train on
Wednesday night on the Texas Pacific
road brought handsome-looking lady
Of about twenty-six years. As she
alghted at the Union station she stood
on the platform under the glaring gas
light closely scanning the few passers
by at that hour. Suddenly a gentle
man passed with white handkerchief
lied on his arm above the elbow. At
sight Of him the lady ran and grabbed
the gentleman, and they Immediately
repaired to the ladies' waiting-room
in the Union station and were mar
ried by the Rev. Thomas Ash.
The bridegroom at this strange we'd
ding was DR.. IL. c. Lane, we'll known
throughout Texas as a heavy cattle
dealer and ranchman. The bride was
Miss Alice Towsley, of Port Washing
ton, Wis, daughter of one of the most
substantial citizens ofthat place. About
five years ago Miss Towsley visited
friends in San Antonio, and there met
DR.. Lane, whose first wife was then
living. They became warm friends.
and some two years afterward, when
Or. Lane became a widower, he renew
ed by letter his pleasant acquaintance
with the lady, and, addressing her
father on the subject Of marriage, re-
ceived blunt notice that pater .fami-
las had always been loyal to the
Union, and would never consent that a
daughter of his should wed rebel SOL
der. At this rebuff DR.. Lane took to
the prairies and gave all his attention
to stock-raising, adding considerably to
his fortune. Recently he reopened the
correspondence with his lady-love, and
urged her to flee from her unrelenting
father. The midnight marriage was the
sequel.
Mrs. Lane brings the news that her
husband was murdered on his ranch q
few nights ago in a most cold-blooded

The response of the public TO the APP
peal Of the Young Mems Christian As
ISOLATION for contributions to the fund
necessary to enable them TO erect their
proposed building has so far been very
satisfactory. At tho last informal con-
ference Of the active friends Of the As
sociation II was reported that tl 1862
had been raised. II is true that that
sum is but little more than one
sixteenth part Of the amount
needed, but when we consider
thst it was secured without anything
like organized effort or systematic
canvass, it is q good beginning. Again,
when we glance at the list Of those who
contributed this sl,262, we have
another most encouraging sign. That
list not only indicates that 1.-THE movement
has the sympathy Of nearly ell classes,
but what is particularly gratifying,
it shows that the young men
are evincipg especial interest in
the matter. And this latter fact con-
stitutes one Of the strongest OF reasons
Why older men-tbe heads ofourmercan-
tile and manufacturing concerns-should
contribute literally to the fund. 1t
demonstrates that the employee class
want just such q building as it is pro-
posed to erec,--a building in which
they will take pride, to which they
can invite their friends after bust
ness hours, and where will be
furnished the facilities for healthy
recreation for mind and body. The
Association as it stands is doing good
work its rooms are pleasant place
of resort, and its library contains
many good books. But Christian as
sociations are no exception to the rule
that nothing succeeds like success, and
handsome building would soon enable the
Richmond Association to makcits rooms
positively attractive to large num-
Der of young men who do not frequent
them now. Not only would money be
forthcoming for that purpose, but for
securing a library that would be a
credit to the city. Does any employer
think that money put into such a buildF
ing would not be a good investment?
Still another encouraging fact connected
with the movement to complete the
building fund Of the Association is that
the ladies are maniiesting great interest
in it. We may say that this is the
most encouraging fact yet developed.
We have never known the ladies of
Richmond to fail in any good work they
undertook - they undertake none
other--and if it is not in large mea-
sure through their efforts that the pro-
posed building is erected, we shall be
very much surprised.

Judge Staples's coming had been

two hours to an attentive and appreci-
alive audience, and convinced every
man in his hearing Of the Importance OF
carrying this election. His beautiful
illusions to the gallant Fitz Lee were
greeted with much enthusiasm. Mas

erou.
Tofhe Editor Of tie Philadelphia Press:
Sir,-Your issue Of October Sd has
created profound establishment among
Virginia Republicans, who have hereto
fore thought highly Of your judgment,
aud unless you retrs.ct the insinuations
and charges made against Governor
Cameron you will elect Lee by $4,000
majority. We think that your CORE
spondent must have your unlimited
confidence, or you would not have be-
lieved or published his article, and
therefore VIC must think that Malone
inspired the letter.
We have been trying to forget our
personal differences in this canvass and
the outlook was fair TO elect our ticket,
but the Press has COMPOUNDED US. Gov
ernor Cameron has as many friends in
cur party as General Malone has. We
have made no attack on Malone. We
thought we had graver matters to at
tend to, but we cannot allow our hon.
ored Governor to be maligned. 1t
would be far better for us to show our
indignation by staying away from the
polls, and we will do so if our State
chairman sanctions, OF our candidate,
John S. WISE, dees not publicly repu-
date your charges.
/, Governor Cameron's letter says that
our election last fall was fairly con-
Quoted las a rule), and this is strictly
true. We have probably 1900 election
precincts. Our election laws last fall
gave us some guarantee Of fairness, as
we had (as a rule) representatives at
every precinct. That election was a
presidential election, and Virginia Bour-
bons feared the result Of fraud. No
doubt at precincts where we had no
men to watch there was fraud. but the
fact that we polled 140, 900 votes proves
that las a rule) the election was fair.
Now, however, we have only Demo-
cratic registrars, judges Of election, and
returning boards, and we must rely
entirely on Bourbon honesty; there
fore Governor Cameron we'll says that
he cannot prophesy what fairness we
shall meet. His letter was condemned
by Bourbons here and approved by
Republicans. He has made faithful
Governor, and stood like a lion in the
path Of Bourbon legislation his honesty
and loyalty are above suspicion. We
will not allow him to be slandered, and
unless this outrage is publicly con-
demned in such manner as to show that
General Malone does not approve, and
John 5. Wise condemn, we will stay at
home and let our personal and political
enemies feel our indignation at the
insult offered us through the man we
love and honor.

1000 Republican voters Of my county,
