At charlottesville.

On Monday last both political parties
were represented by speakers at Char
lotuesville. Hon. II. W. Blair, author of
the Blair bill, by invitation. appeared for
the Republicans. He opened his speech by
a reference to the fact that the grave of JEFF
ferson was in close proximity, and that
the principles of the Declaration of hide
pendenc, of which he was the author.
would live as long as time should last. He
paid handsome tribute to Virginia and
her people, and congratulated them on the
inspiring influence of such character as
Jefferson. He was then proceeding to the
discussion of the tariff question, when
some one in the audience threw, in rapid
succession. four rotten eggs at him.
Neither of them struck him, however.
The offender started to leave, when he was
taken in custody by policeman. Consid
cradle excitement followed the dlsgraceful
episode, and intense indignation was man
ifested by the people.
Mr.. Blair then continued his remarks,
merely referring in dignified terms to the
outrage, and made an impressive and eff
fective speech to the audience.
Gen. John E. Roller followed. and in
opening his speech remarked that if there
had been high tariff on eggs, the l60,0 900
dozen eggs received from Canada probably
would not have been imported and fewer
rotten eggs would have been on hand with
which to insult distinguished statemau
like Mr. Blair.
The Democrats had speakers on the
court green, Congressman from Mssis-
sIppi. delivering bitter. sectional
speech, appealing to race prejudices. and
denouncing the Republican party in I'M
measured terms.
We do not think the proceedings of The
day could have been very profitable to the
Democrats. While no one wishes to hold
the party responsible for such an ipdignity
as was offered Senator Blair. yet the eff
feet of it will not be such as the party of
reform would wish,

On Monday last Hon. John 6. Carlisle
addressed the people of Rockhridge in the
interest of the Democratic party and the
Mills Bill. He spoke for an hour and re
iterated the oft refuted assumption that
the duty is added to the price. He was
followed by joint discussion between e.
St. G. Tucker and Jacob Y ost, candidates
for Congress. Mr.. T. leading Off. Hon.
A. L. Hopkins, of Illinois. next spoke in
behalf of the Republicans. The Repub-
licans were well pleased with the days
proceedings. and felt greatly encouraged
from the manifestations of public senti-
ment.

1t is not denial by person that he is
free trader, that makes him opposed to
free trade. 1t is the fact of his advocating
free raw materials, or the placing on the
free list articles OF import that are pro-
duced or manufactured in this country.
It is the fact and not the denial which CON
stitutes the condition and ixes the reIa
ti0n Of the party to the matter. Mr..
Cleveland, Mr.. Mills, Mr.. Carlisle the

much as they please that they are

About 40 900 people were present. num-

1t should be understood in the start that
the Exposition at Richmond has not fallen
into the rut of other shows bearing the
same appelation. 1t possesses great nov
city attractions in addition to the exhibi-
ton Of agriculture, forestry, minerals, to-
bacco mechanics and the fine arts CT the

Gently from the Court of st. James. will
show for three weeks commencing Octo-
Der 3rd. There will be a Bench Show of
Dogs from October 9th to 18th ; and when
it is considered that Virginians indulge
in hunting probably more than any other
Americans and every plantation is posses
sed OF hounds aud other fine hunting dogs
il can be anticipated that the Be nch Show
will De a great one. ALI Old Virginia Fox
Chase VIII take place every day during the
Dog show; two miles Of the chase will be
in full view Of the Exposition. There will
be live foxes, pro ably fifty hounds; it will
he an exciting and genuine cross the coun-
Try hunt.
There is a race track in connection with
the Exposition, with running races every
Il W during the bench show. From Octo.
b.r 10th to Goth the chief special feature
will be the trotting races. with grand py-
roL"ehnic display at night, October 10Th.

1t Floats.
The earnest and intelligent Republicans
OF Low Moor have thrown to the breeze a
beautiful Harrison, Morton and \ ost
hammer. which is suspended across the
r ailroad At Law Moor Furnace. There
could be no more appropriate place for a
Of crion fl to float than at this splen-
did iron furnace, whose operatives are so
much dependent upon the protective pol.
iey The flag these wage-earDers have
suspended at that place is emblematic of
the principles which contribute to their
welfare and to the development of the
mineral wealth which lies buried in the
mountains of Virginia The raw materials
are there; the labor is there to expose
them and the plat is there to utilize
them, and not across the alters. 1t is a
live enterprise, fostered and encouraged
by Republican legislation and policy, and
it is right that The flag of protection
should stream above it.

The Outlook.

The outlook for the Republicans in the
Presidential election has everything in it
to encourage. 1t is believed by the most
0agacious of the Republican managers,
who are at the point where all news
concentrates, that Harrison and Morton
will carry every Northern, Western and
Pacific State. with fair chance for Vir-
ginia and West Virginia. Recent news
from Indiana makes it almost certain that
its electoral vote will be given to the
Chicago nominees. The tangible evidence
of a great revolt of the wage earners in
New York from Democratic free trade,
assures that State for the ticket. Con-
necticut is confidently placed in the Re-
publican column. and if all signs do not
fail New Jersey will keep her company.
Ohio. Michigan. Wisconsin, Iowa and Min
nesota will give increased Republican
majorities. All along the line the pros
pect is most cheering. and promise OF
sweeping Republican victory in Novem-
Der next.
The President has signed the Chinese
bill. and at the same time recommends
that further legislation be enacted to allow
laborers to land who had gone to China
with certificates in their possession, which
under the previous law would have allowed
aflem to land. 1t is rather a remarkable
recommendation coming immediately af-
Ter signing the bill.
Mr.. Robt't Garrett. formerly President
of the Baltimore and Ohio Railrfad, is
vi ,lently ilsaIe at Ringwood, country
retreat, III New York where he has cen
for several months ander treatment. There
is very little hope OF his recovery.
A process has been invented OF refining
sugar by electricity. The invention is
that of Prof. Henry Friend. OF New ork.
recently deceased. and the first application
was in Scotland. Some of the sugar il on
exhibit in Richmond.
