The Florence and Paris letters of Mr.
Blain, have presented two thoughts very
plainly:
Ist. That so far as Mr.. Blaine could do
SO, / is taken out the list of candidates
to he presented to the Chicago Conven-
ton,
End. That four fifths of the Republicans
of the country believe that he is the prop
er erson to be nominated. and many OF
them viii be disappointed with the selec-
zion of any other Republican.
The fact of the Florence ana Paris let
tiers makes the desire more Intense and
the propriety more demonstrative that MI
Blaine should be nominated by the Con
yention. These papers developed type
of manhood and rounded out a greatness
that have made Mr. Blaine Infinitely more
conspicuous, more the representative OF
she best thought, the purest motives, the
modest aim of American craftsmanship
than ever before. He has, in the act OF
Withdrawing his name from the consider
alton of the Convention, unintentionall,
fixed an ideal in the popular mind-ele
waited the vision to a standard that others
will have to reach before they can measure
up to the popular demand. While theY
have been planning and scheming and
booming TO create fictitious sentiment
favorable TO themselves-to draft the peo-
pie to their support-he vaults to the high
est reach of party patriotism. and lgnor'
eng the ambitions of lesser minds. throws
down the trophy they would grasp at the
feet of the people to whom it belongs, for
them to dispose of as in their judgment
may seem best. 1t was an act Of self alb
negation that others viii have to initiate
it they would command tie confidence OF
the Republican voters of the country
They. too, will haveto ignore self, and the
only proper way to do it, now that they
have learned that the great mass of tht
Republican voters of the Nation, demand
the services of Mr.. Blaine. will be to
withdraw their names and make his nom
inaton the acclammatory act of the Con-
yontio Not to defer to the popular de-
mand-not 10 recognize the people as the
source of power and their determination
supreme, would be monumental mistake,
and night preciI tate a fatal result.
The politicians must give way to the
peopie-tl cir plans and plots must be SUI
bordinated to the spontaneous and practi-
cally unanimous demand of the Republi>
can VI tars of the country, for the n0mi-
nation of Mr.. Blaine. The way to do
this is for each and every one of them 10
show that their motives are as exalted
their aims as patriotic as his action has
shown his to be. ana promptly and unre-
servedly withdraw from the contest and
demand his unanimous nomination.
The honor coming in this way. Mr..
Blaine could not decline. It would assure
harmony and enthusiasm and give to the
campaign morale and an inspiration, that
would sweep the Republican party into
power.
If there is not patriotism enough with
the prominent Candidates for the nominal
tiOn to comprehend and recognize The sit
uation. then there may not be truculency
enough with Tie people to follow those who
distrust them and disregard their known
wishes.
This is II e logic of the ituation.

islature which elects a United States Sena
tor to succeed Senator Qolph. The result
was "a great Republican victory. Her
mans, the Republican candidate for Con-
gress, was elected by 1900 majority, and
the Legislature is Republican. This is
the first gun of the campaign of 1888. and
indicates that the Pacific States will range
in the Republican column. Extraordinary
efforts were made by the Democrats to
carry ths Legislature, and assisted by the
Prohibitionists running candidates in the
Republican counties, there were some ap-
prehensions that they would succeed. But
the tariff issue was made prominent and
the Republicans carried the day over all
opposition.

Our Middlebrook correspondent. w. Fl.
w., under date of the 9th, gives the fol
lowing particulars Of fatal and singular
accident "On Tuesday afternoon last
Mr.. John Hemp met with an accident
which resulted in his death. AS he was
handling horse attached to shovel pillow,
belonging to Mr.. John Baylor, the horse
ran away, the pillow striking Mr.. Fl. in the
side. He followed the animal some dis
lance around the field when he was stopped
by some parties who came to his assistance.
Mr.. Hemp complained of feeling sick and
was assisted to his house, when, as he
entered, he fell dead. The medical sup
position is that two or three ribs were
broken which opened some artery and
caused flow of blood to the heart. MI.
Hemp leaves wife and children to mourn
their loss. He was industrious and much
respected. and had been in the employ of
Mr.. Baylor number of years."

The 5th of June, 1888. was the 8eth an
niversary of the battle of Piedmont, in
Augusta county. Gen. David Hunter COM
manded the Federal forces and Gen. w.
T.. Jones the Confederate. 1t was during
the progress of this battle that StauntOn
youth, with single gun held in check tie
whole of the Federal forces. The gun was
planted on an elevation west of the Con-
federate forces. and had full range of the
Federal army. Amidst fearful hail of
minnie balls and the shock of cannon, Capt.
Carter Berkeley stood to his gun, and so
skillfully handled it and accurately d.
rected it's work that the whole Federal
force was kept at bay. even after Gen.
Jones fell and an order for retreat had
been given. There was no more gallant
achievement during the war than was
shown in the stubborn courage and logged
tenacity of Berkeley, as he coolly gave d.
rection to his gunner and stood exposed to
the leaden death that Kissed about HIM dur
ing that desperate day.
