OPEN LETTER TO THE GOVERNOR.
IN THE SADDLE, !
Aug. ., 1856. I

aug > looV.
Ny DEAR GOVERNOR You've
played-sheOl Couldn't You have
held your tongue until after the
election ? Why you should have
let yourself out to Cooper at this
time is past my comprehension. 1t
is an inexcusable blunder. True
we never have been in sympathy
with the people on the debt ques-
ton, but | did give you credit for
having some sense. There was no
necessity at this time to assert the
fact that our sympathies were all
with the bondhOlders. Not only
did you do this, but you spoke for
the whole Lee family. This may
hurt "Rooney" III his canvass. Still
he is a Lee and | hope we can pull
him through on sentiment. By
the way he had to 60 and make an
ass of himself by asking pardon
for all he had done for the Con-
federacy, before he paid that Sl77,.
90 he owed Uncle Sam and has
withheld for twenty-seven years.
Such laundering is enough to kill
any party. Now | am in favor of
keeping all the Offices for our best
people, but ] had an impression
that "RooDey" intended to main
tain the dignity of the family, and
like his grand and noble father,
never ask or accept Office of the
Federal Government. For 81 years
he has held out refusing to ask
pardon of Congress for his part in
the late war. But then a seat IN
Congress at $1,000 year is not to
be sneezed at. The traditions of
the past will do to harp on before
the ignorant masses, but when it
comes to holding the offices | am
for giving them to our best fami-
lies every time. True some fool
Republican may quote
IL scorn the man who boasts his birth,
Any counts his titles to his lands
Takes his name and heritage,
From dying fathers hands,
but that will make little difference
he's Lee, and his name is enough
for democracy. You know the dit
ficulties we have had to encounter
by saying too much before elections
in our platforms and by our speak.
ers, MISUNDERSTANDING this knowl-
edge, you foolisbly "gave us away"
to Cooper. If you and "ROOney7
don't know what to do, OF how to
act, get some one to tell you. |
have continually urged you to cOun-
sci with Massey, FulkersOn, Bar
bOur, or even Newberry but you
seem bent on running the ma
chine yourself. Have a care. The
name of Lee is a power in this
land but the people have a fool
idea in their heads that their chill
dren should be edu Gated, and that
they should have plenty OF bread
and meat during the process, and
that a policy should be adopted by
which laboring men can maintain
their families decently. Sentiment
don't work well OH an empty |
If we can just keep mum
on all questions Of public policy
and work on the feelings Of our
people by denouncing the Malone |
gang and the niggers, warrant |
what is lacking when the count is
made the Mccormick count bill
will supply. Keep still tongue
and look wise-like an owl.
Yours quietly,
GRIP.

WHY HE NEVER MARRIED.
A Sad Romance in Tilden's Life-TwC
Disappointments.

Disappointments.
NEW YORK, August People
have often wondered that a man OF
Mr.. Tilden's vast wealth, domestic
tastes and political prominence re-
manned bachelor all his life. Ru-
NOR has it that during his college
days at the New YORK University
he met and loved the daughter of
onoofthe leading Democratic states
men of that time. She was beau.
tiful girl, charming alike in the
graces of her person and of her in
tellectuality. Her beauty and wit
attracted many suitors, but Mr..
Tilden's culture and rare qualities
of mind captiyated her. He was a
brilliant cOnversationalist and had
lofty aspirations, and the evidences
of his ability to achieve prominence
were so marked that the beautiful
girl pledged her heart and fortune
TO his keeping. They were engaged

The Democrats of Washington
county on last Monday, in meeting
assembled, passed resolutions con-
demning the policy of President
Cleveland on the civil service and
silver question. The Wythc county
Democrats passed resolutions that
condemned their own party on all
leading national questions, includ-
ing the educational and tariff issues.
To what straits are these people
driven They cuss and damn the
Republicans and then pass resOlu-
tons denunciatory of the policy OF
their own party. What confidence
can the people have in party that
for the purpose Of carrying local
elections will openly censure its
President, and declare against the
course pursued by its representa-
tives in Congress? Will the people
of the Ninth district be humbugged
by the humbugs !-Marioa Patriot

On Monday night of last week in

corn, oats, &C., were in the barn.

A STATEMENT CONTUAOICTED.

Major John w. Daniel says the
difficulty in the way of the repeal
of the internal revenue laws comes
"chiefy from Protectionist Republi-
cans of the North" The Rich
mond Wing, good Democratic au-
th0rity, says this is not true, and
adds:
"The force of a statement Is de
pendent upon its accuracy, and we
proceeded to show that complete
want of accuracy in the paragraph
attributed to Major Daniel deprlv-
ed it of all force 1t moreover
says "lf the statement is true it
is anything but complimentary to
the Democratic majority of not
less than forty in the House, More
over the Ways and Means com
mittee, it says, is composed of a
majority oftaria reform Democrats,
and ont of fifty bills for the repeal
of the internal revenue, sent to
that committee, not one has been
reported. The leader Of the Re-
publican Protectionists is Mr..
Keely, of Pa, who for years has
been in favor of It's repeal.
Now, all this we knew and posi-
lively foretold long ago. lAmoc-
racy is free trade. 1t is opposed
to the tariff, and Of course means
to raise revenue by the internal
tax. To abolish the internal rev.
enue tax is to keep up the tariff
tax. TO cease taxing foreigners
by the tariff is to continue to tax
our own people by the internal rev.
enue. Free trade means internal
revenue, and Democracy is practi-
cally free trade. PrOtectionists can
drop the internal revenue and rely
on the external revenue, or tariff,

SENATOR RIDDLEUtHGEH'S WAY,

In an interview at Mansfield,
Ohio, last evening with Senator
Sherman a reporter asked why
Senator Riddleberger objected to
the adoption OF the usual resolution
of thanks in the Senate the other
day. "Because he did not know
any better" replied Sherman.
"Then there was nothing person
al in his conduct Z"
"NO, nothing of that kind that
know of. 1t was just his way"
Senator Sherman is quite right
in saying "there was nothing per
sonal in his conduct" 1t is among
the possibilities he is equally right
in saying, "Because he did not
know any better" But he might
have added that Riddleberger did
not "object' he exercised his priv
ilege of calling for quorum, which
had been done by other Senators
twice in the preceding half hour,
on matters of legislation. We have
never considered Mr.. Sherman OF
such immense proportions, even as
a presidential candidate, as to en-
title him to special privileges or i'm
munities. There was no Senate as
sembled, and to pass a resolution
expressive of the sense of the Sem
ate was to record a falsehOod. To
say it is a "customp is worse than
rot. Such customs ought not to
obtain. The most vicious legisla.
ton is enacted by such unrecorded
proceedings.
Senator Riddleberger was not
absent from the Capitol a day from
the beginning to the close of the SEES
sion, excepting the holiday recess.
He had more than once demanded
a quorum vote. When the open
session resolution was voted on,
and some Senators remained in the
cloak room, he demanded that their
votes be recorded under the rnles.
He began on that line, and con
tinued to the end. The sne@S of a
second choice presiding officer are
not terrifying to him, nOtwithstand-
ing they are backed by the moral
support of the guns of StealsOn
Iutchins, who was practically ex-
PEELED from the floor of the Senate
by a resolution of the same Riddle
berger who "did not know any bet
teri
\ president pro tempOre supple
mented by the controller of one
Democratic, one Republican and
one Independent daily journal in
Washington makes a very fOrmida-
bic array, such as ought not to
make a combined attack upon a
poor simpleton who "did not know
any BETTER
For Senator Sherman's benefit
we append Stealson's contribution
in his behalf as it appeared in the
Washington Post, written after the
fashion of the notorious st. Louis
DlacKmailer and disgraced Wash
ingtOn LOBBYIST.
