QUESTION - Resolved, That the republican
party has been false to los platform from 1860 TO
1888 Inclusive. That los legislation has tended 70

that the republican party Is solely responsible for

REPLY OF MINERVA WALKER TO MRS.
LEASE.
EDITOR ADvoCATE:--In her first Issue
Mrs. Lease starts out with a view TO shift
ing the responsibility for the lateness Of
the debate on my shoulders. AS the
readers Of the Graphic are well aware l
made Mrs. Lease challenge on the 23d
OF July to discuss the political issues Of
the day through the columns Of the
Graphite. received a letter from her on
the 9th Of August refusing to accept this
offer. PeTceivlng that public opinion
was against her she, in the Topeka AD-
vooATE Of August 27, accepted my prop
osition with the proviso that the debate
be published in TUE ADVOCATE. ] inn
mediately accepted this, and all the ar
rangements and details we're Immediately
arranged by W. T. Walker in behalf OF
myself, and S. McLallin, Of THE ADvo-
CATE, in behalf of Mrs, Lease.
The arrangements were completed and
the understanding was that the debate
was to begin an once, / waited
two weeks for her first article,
and II not arriving l concluded that she
had decided not to debate, 80 wrote an
editorial in the Graphic criticising her

Wednesday. | leave the readers to Judge
as to who is responsible for the limited
time left in which to discuss the ques-
tiOn; when 1t did arrive, / failed TO find
one single solitary point in il touching
on the question at issue. She deals out
to the readers Of the discussion a ranting
harrangue and conglomeration Of fool
ish twaddle about Bion Hutchins and
other republicans who she says are an
archists and ought to be behind "prison
bars" Suppose they are, which no sane
person will believe, what has that to do
with the question for discussionY l

republican party had been false to its

met at Baltimore and nominated Doug.
las, the democratic convention which
nominated Breckenridge, and the repub-
llcan convention Of 1860, all declared
themselves In favor OF building a railway
connecting the Pacific and Atlantic states.
1t was thought wise 10 unite these states
by bands Of iron, because a great portion
Of Califomia's population was southern
and there was strong talk Of California
and the western tier Of states seeding
and forming an empire on the Pacific
coast, and IL was necessary to build the
road to open 10 settlepHnt the area Of

greatest necessities Of the age. tits true
1t was enacted when the republicans had
control Of Congress, and they will have
to and are willing to be held responsible
for il. In the republican platform Of
1860 will be found the following plank:
"rhat a railroad to the Pacific ocean Is
imperatlvely demanded by the interests
Of the whole country; that the federal
government ought to render immediate
and efficient aid In It's construction, and
that as preliminary thereto daily over.
land mail should be established" This
plank was fulfilled by the building OF the
road. Then TO quote Mrs. Leases Ian
guage: "The grand men who built the
republican party placed in the first plat
form Of that party the following plank;
all men have natural right to a portion
Of the soil, and as this soil is indispensi-
BILE to life the right Of all men TO the soil
Is sacred as life ITSELF" We find this
plank was fulfilled by reason Of the fact
that the grant gave each alternate section
OF public land 10 the extent Of five alter
nate sections TO the railroad, reserving
each alternate section for the people,
thus providing homes for the homeless
and land for the landless.

does Mrs. Lease, that a large number OF
these mortgages were placed upon farms
because their owners became infatuated
with the idea that they could 60 into the
speculation Of town lots, the buying Of
more land than they could use and sum

to push her socialistic ideas upon the

The old man stopped. He swallowed
mysteriously number of times and drew
his horny palm across his eyes. The group
of listeners only moved forward a little
and held their breath.

enough to push in that throttle and slap

The group of listeners turned away sick
at heart. The old engineer went on:
II picked up wig of golden hair, and
Bill two or three pieces of straw and IN
old bonnet. Just then gang of
ragged imps stuck their heads out from
behind an old barn and howlcd: Did

TOO WILLING TO SUIT.
The Termination of This Story Is Better
Imagined Than Related.


a needy Frenchmen once heard that a
marriage was on the tapis between the
daughter of certain wealthy merchant
and the son of banker. The dowry that
was to be given to the bride was 100000
francs. The merchant was well known
to be on the lookout for a good bargain or
10 save dollar, so Oh this the Partisan
founded his hopes on good dinner at
least.
He accordingly calledat the merchants
residence and asked the privilege of
seeing him on very important business.
After little while he was admitted to
his presence.
''Ihc matter, sir, on which / called he
began, 'involves for you saving of 250, 900
francs. =
"Oh, my dear sir, interrupted the mcr-
chant, this is too serious to be discussed
before diuner and we will afterward con-
slider your proposition at our leisure"
Having partaken of meal that left q
pleasant flavor in the unfortunate mem
ory the rest Of his life they returned to
the merchants study.
And now | am ready to hear your pro-
posal," he remarked"
The Partisan after moments thought,
began:
u understand, sir, your daughter is
to be shortly married to the son of the
banker, D'Argent?'
Yes, that is true"
"And that her dowry is half Il million?"
This was also attended to.
DWELL, then, here is my idea; / am
ready to take her for half that sum, and
thus you will save or gain exactly $50, 1000
rancs."

Wise Circuit Court.

a large number of lawyers, litiganis
and jurymen met at Gladevile on Monday
iast for the December term of the Wise
circuit court. Judge H. S. X. Morrison
was on the bench. Owing to the excite
ment in the county for the past month
over the urt-house removal issue and
the pre-occupation of most of the lawyers
of both the Gladcvillc and Big Stone Gap
bars over that absorbing question, but
little litigation was disposed Of, and the
court adjourned for the term on yesterday
There was 10 criminal business on the
docket, that being disposed of in the
county court There were several jury
trials of civil cases on the common law
docket, and jury trial Of an issue out Of
chancery. The latter case, keebler & Carr
vs. Bostwick, was an interesting one, the
issue being whether or not an attach
ment sued out by the plaintiffs, whole
sale firm, of Bristol, against the stock and
numbering outfit of Bostwick, the defend
ant, was on false suggestions or without
sufficient cause. The case was ably ar
gued by Messrs. Fulton and Maury for
plaintiffs and Bullitt and Green, of Es-
tillvilc, for defendants. The jury decided
for defendants, and the attachment was
dismissed.
Attachment suits Jared badly at this
term, as another suit was quashed that
of NJ B. Wood Co., of Bristol, against
Rush Bros, of this city. The case of
Chapman, White, Lyons & Co., against
W. n. G. Slemp, resulted in a hung jury
This case has been on the docket for sew
eral terms, the question heng whether
Mr.. Slemp was silent partner in the firm
of W. G. Slemp & Co., and liable to Il suit
by their creditors.
The chanccry cause of the Virginia
Coal and Iron Co. against F. NJ. Charleston,
furnished an unusual issue. 1t arose in
connection with the deposition OF W. B..
kilbourn, who had refused to answer GER
tain questions propounded by the plant
ifs, on the ground that the information
sought to he obtained was privileged
communication to an attorney. although,
according to his own deposition he was
never licensed to practice law, but only
did outside work, such as getting up titles.
The case was argued by Messrs Irvine.
and Bullitt for the plaintiffs, and Skeen
for the defendant, and briefcd for defendant
by judge Bernard, of Nottoway county.
The court decided for plaintiffs that Kill
bourn was not entitled to the protection
of the rule and issued an order compell-
ing him to testify.
Most Of the important chancery bust
ness was continued to next term. and the
lawyers began at once to turn their at
tention once more to the courthouse re-
moval issue which will he renewed next
week in the county court.
Visiting attorneys in attendance were
C. r. Duncan, of Jonesville, Col. j. b.
Richmond, Charles Richmond and Clement
PR. Green, of Estillville, and Mr.. Suther-
land, Of Bristol.

when the check was presented, and be-
fore Mr.. Mcdowell could notify Irvine, or

On Monday, last, Mr.. Irvine was at
Gadeville attending the circuit court
when Sheriff Hutchinson presented a check
to him with the same signature as the one
referred to above, written in a very suspic-
ious way, and asked if it were his check,
stating that man named Salycr had just
been trying to get cash on it, on the
streets. Mr.. Irine went at once with
the sheriff and had the man arrested and
tried before magistrate Renfro on the
charge of forging or attempting to utter
forged paper. Salyer was held to answer
Indictment by the grand jury and sent to
Jail. He gave his name as George
Salyer, and he came to this county about a
year ago from Breathtt county, Ky, and
had worked on one of the railroads in
this county part of the time since.

was endorsed on the back. Salyer says
he got the check from Howard, but it is
