An Ex-FederaI Soldier Probably
Killed.

On Saturday, Sunday, and Monday last a
large number of trains on the c. & o. Ry.,
have passed through here filled with Ex-Fed-
eral soldiers on their way to the encampment
at Washington of the Grand Army of the
Republic which commenced on yesterday.
The number passed on these trains is suppos-
ed to be from twelve to fifteen thousand
One of the number was struck by the vesti
bule train at Ivy Depot in Albemarle county
about o'clock Monday morning and is sup
posed to be MORALLY wounded. At this point
the excursion train was side-tracked to allow
the yestibule train to pass, and this man, who,
with others, had been walking about, on the
approach of the vestibule train attempted to
cross the track to get to his car, when he was
struck by the vestibule train.
This train stopped, and the man was carried
and put on the excursion train, but it was
supposed that he was MORALLY wounded.
P. S-After the above was in type we learn
ed from the Daily Progress of Charlottesville,
that he was taken off the train at that place
and carried on stretcher to Wrights Hotel
where he died. His name was Augustus
Ginter of Peotone, viii Co., ILL.,, and was 81
years of age, and leaves wife and number
of children One of his brothers, Henry Gin
ter was with him and took charge of the ar
rangements to send the remains to the home
| of the deceased for burial.

C0ngratulat0ry Address.
Democratic National Committee Upon the
Recent State Elections,

Democratic National Committee Upon the
Recent State Elections.
New YORK, Sept 14.-The democrat
ic national committee issued the fol-
lowing address: Headquarters Demo
Fifth avenue, New York, September
IA, 1892.
To the People of the United States:
The democratic national committee
congratulates the country on the re-
suit of the recent State elections in
Maine, Vermont and Arkansas. In
Arkansas the combined opposition, af
ter SO many extravaganza claims, fell
short by over 10000 of the vote of the
democracy alone. This has brought
dismay to the combination in the South
and its manipulators in the North.
In Maine and Vermont the contest
was conducted distinctly upon national
issues The republican managers APP
pealed for votes in these States on the
ground that the ''size of the pluralities
wonld exert great moral influence on
the campaign in other States" and that
the poll would be practically our vote
for the President" Similar appeals
summoned to their aid all the potent
resources of their national organization
with its exhaustless treasury and its
splendid equipment of orators of ma
tional fame.
With every favoring force at their
command except public opinion, with
no organizations opposed, save those
made up within the States by a minor
ity party which has been out of power
for a generation, and which was unaid-
ed from without, the campaign of our
cd unr for friI 1,or nj
in these States, SO carefully planned
and so thoroughly aud forcefully exc
cutcd, has ended in conspicuous dis
aster.
Our friends everywhere are entitled
| to take fresh courage from these re-
suits. They mean that the strong ten
| dency of public sentiment is with the
democracy, and that the people of the
country are prepared to enforce rather
than reverse the verdict which they
rendered in 1890.
WILLIAM F. HARRITY,
Chairman Democratic Committee.
Don. NJ. DICKINSON,
Chairman Campaign Committee.
| HON. d. GARDENER TYLER.-Tbe
Democratic candidate for Congress in
the 2nd district is Hon. d. Gardener
| Tyler, of Charles City county, the eld-
est son of Ex-President John Tyler by
his second marriage. The Richmond
Times says that as a member of the
State Senate he acquitted himself most
excellently in the Legislature last win
ter, and acquired reputation equal
| TO any other member of that hOnOra hle
body, and that besides being a man OF
unusual ability, he is thorough gen
tleman of the highest attachments. and
should he be elected he will reflect
credit upon his State, himself and the
distinguished name he hears.
