I.yNCHBuRG. October 90 Correspon-
donce. Considering the laeness Of the
hour 81 the arrival Of Governor HILL. Of
New York. and his party last night. his
reception by orr citizens was a large
and most enthusiastic one. The Gov
ernor was introduced by Colonel Ham
/ Shepperd. i'm "A few appropriate remarks.
and the Governor S response was a hap
py one. and ELECTED rounds OF applause.
/ He modestly assumed that the compli-
ment was intended, no doubt. to the
Democracy of New York. instead
of himself, but in this he was
entirely mistaken. for the Democracy
of New York nave lot won any great
, laufels Ia late years. and certainly not
last year. The compliment was really
intended by our citizens for Governor
/ Hill himself. whose sound Democracy
is objectionable. aud who believes
that when Democrat comes into office
lac ought to turn all of the rascals
out. - The Governor has certainly cap
turcd host of friends IN the South on
his late~trip to Atlanta. aud he will
have them in the next Democratic Ma
tional Convention. in 1892.
Governor Hill paid high compli-
ment 10 our Governor. Fizhugh Lee.
70 our candidate, Captain Phil. w. Ne.
Kinney. and to grand old Virginia her
self. He said the Democracy Of New
York and Of the whole Union were
looking anxiOusly to the result of the
election in this State. a. upon a Demo
cratic triumph hangs the fate of the
party in the country. ard the only hope
of the Republican party ct the North
is a Malone victory.
Hon. Roswell L. Flower. of View
York. and Hon. Pat. 4. Collins, cf Bos-
ton. also responded to the calls Of the
crowd. and j. HOge Tyler. who hap
pcncd to be travelling with the party on
his way to his new appointments. APP
pearcd and made some happy remarks.
Rev. sam. Jones did NOT arrive on
time Saturday, and consequently did

thousand people. with good tables and
seats for newspaper reporters.
Mr.. Jones did not preach this morn
ing. but opened this evening nj $50

night. IL WAS Sabbath day, aud Of
course more people were ont than may
he expected every day in the week
while services continue.
Mr.. Jones s-rmOns are original and
peculiar. and canaot fail TO attract uni.
ycrsal attention and elicit much religi-
Gus enthusiasm. As a specimen Of the
laconics he does get of. rough and
rashy. regardless of persons or conse-
quences. your correspondent gives you
the following. which are only few to
