RICHMOND, VA, November /, 1Se

Mr.. William H. MltNen.:
Dear Strive are just in receipt OF
your favor of this date. Your lntorma-
ton that we are familiar with the cam
naicn work of Hon. George ID. Wiseis cor
rect 10 this extent: 1t was cOnfidentially
intimated to some of us on Saturday by
some Of your most earnest followers that
YOU and your committee had become sat
isfed that the change of sentiment among
the colOred people of this district had
been so great in the last few days as to
render your election impossible, and that
under the circumstances you had been
advised bv many of your supporters
TO withdraw, and that for reasons after
wards so admirably set forth in your
card. YOU were strongly considering
If. Acting on this information, we con
stituted ourselves a committee, by the adj
vice of many others who had heard the
same rumor. to consult with your friends
as TO the truth of the same On Saturday
evening we met with some twelve or nj
teen of your friends to talk over the stu
alton. They admitted the fact that you
would probably be withdrawn by your
committee that night and that being I'M
derstOod. they did not hesitate to express
their bitterness and disgust with the
treatment YOU and your friends had re-
ceived at the hands of Messrs. John ;.
Wise and Edmund Waddill, and further
more their intention to return to the ale
glance of the Democratic party
We then parted with your friends with
the understanding that we would meet
again that night at the Circuit Court, to
hear at the earliest moment the final
action of your committee, which was re-
ported to US about - o'clock Of the same
night
We then perfected arrangements to adj
vance the interests of the Hon. George ID.
Wise throughout the district among your
followers. The details of these transac-
tons il is unnecessary to mention, but III
view of the slanderous card you refer to
we take pleasure in asserting most posi-
lively that YOU were not present at these
conferences, nor did we consult you IN
the matter; that the imputation thatyou,
or any one for you, or any of your friends
or followers. received any mOneyed OF
other considerations inducing you to
withdraw is an Infamous SANDER and
outrageous lie.
Very respectfully,

A Jessamine Spray

A word unspoken, hand Impressed.
A look unseen or thought unguessei,
And souls that were kindled may live apart
Never to meet or know the truth,
Never TO know how heart beat with heart
In the dim past days Of wasted youth
She shall not know how his pulses leapt
When over his temples her tresses swept;
As she leaned to give him the Jessamlne
wreath
She felt his breath, and her face flushed
With the passionate love that choked her
breath,
And sadlens her life now her youth is dead
A faded woman who waits for death,
And murmurs his name beneath her breath
A cynical man who SCOTS and jests
At woman and love in the open day,
And at night time kisses, with bitter tears,
A faded fragrant jessamine spray

Swing me and sway NE and tenderly sing;
Fan my faint lips with thy life giving
