The Defamation of Hill.

To he Editor of the Dispatch
Is there no possible way to stop this de-
famstion of Senator Hill By Democratic
papers?
Surely it is worse than lunacy for US
southern people to abuse one OF the most
successful leaders of the party.
An avowed Cleveland man myself, do
earnestly protest against the encourage
ment given the Republican party by these
diatribes against one of our most astute
leaders.
1t Is bad enough for northern Mugwump
papers to attack the man who gave New
York State two pure Administrations, but
why Virginia papers should join hands
with these people, who. if they had the
power, would, with the Republican party,
under guise of ballot reform, pass force
bill, passes comprehension.
We cannot afford to let personal prefer
ences lead to the destruction OF our Sec
ton. We Virglnians ought certainly not
to abuse the man who did as much, or
moro than, any one man to defeat the In
famous force bill. MAX.

Another Valuable Letter From Oar sps-
cial Washington Correspondent.
WARRINGTON. February 81. 1892.

WASHINGTON, February ~, 1892.
To tie Editor of the D,spatch:
The action Of the New York Democratic
State Convention may not at once retire
Mr.. Cleveland from the presidential con-
test, but it ends his chances for being Sc
lected at Chicago to run q third heat.
This is recognized by all experienced poll
ticians, ss well as by such prominent jour-
mails as the Philadelphia Record, the New
York World, the Louisville Courier Journal,
and other papers hitherto kind in dealing
with his prstensions. The common Sense
of the average American voter. which il
rarely at fault, reaches the Same couclu-
sion by an inevitable logic. Never was
there such an emphatic verdict before re-
corded, and that, too. after full no.
tice and fair fight. The Albany
convention consisted of Ss4 members
These were elected mainly, If not aen-
tirely, by district conventions. three dele
gates to each assembly district. Tam
many did not lead OF but spoke last. The
counties led of as rule. First, primaries
were held to elect delegates TO the Assem-
bly, District Convention. In many of these

nearly all they were beaten. In others
| Hill was 80 strong that they let the pri-
maries 60 by default. But they did their
level best. The Mugwump committee of
| Mr.. 4. Ellery Anderson in an ostentatious
circular urged the Cleveland men to con-

! own tender conscience that this did not
preclude them from joinin: the noble
army of kickers afterwards. It was" heads

Hoar's performance in the speakership

The result of it oil was the election of
about bakers dozen of Cleveland dele

members. Even these did not venture to
stand upand be counted. They did not dare

Tho Place for the Convention.
TNorfolk IirOfnianl

The call has been issued by Chairman
Ellyson for q meeting OF the State Demo-
cratic Committee at Richmond on Thurs
day, March 24th, at II o'clock, to select the
tlme and place for holding tho next State
convention, to elect delegates to the Ma
tional Democratic Convention. to be held
in Chicago June next.
Why should not Norfolk make the effort
TO have the convention IN Norfolk! What
say the propristors of our respective hotels
and our business organizations? With the
Norfolk can be selected. Let the effort be
made.
WHAT rs THOUGHT.
[Richmond correspondence Norfolk virginan.l
When the Democratic State Committee
meets here on the oath, Richmond. through
the chairman of Its City Committee, will
make O formal request that the convention
be held here. Il 10 thought, however, that
Norfolk will be chosen IL her people a. K
the committee to select that place, as the
last State convention was held in this city.
RICHMOND TEE PLACE.
Richmond is the place for the Demo-
cratic State Convention. We have tho
halls here with tho seating capacity, and
Ne have ample hotel accommodation.
The State convention will be composed
of about 800 members. The usual basis of
one delegate to every 200 votes in the last
general election brings about that number
of people. The gubernstorial convention
of 1889 was composed of over 1900 dele
gates-a basis of one delegate to every 100
votes cast in the previous general election.
But 800 delegates make entirely too un-
wleldy o convention. Still, If the State
convention sees fit to order o 1900 conven-
ton Richmond can accommodate the
crowd.
The next best place to Richmond would
be either Lynchburg or Norfolk. Either
city could entertain the convention, but
Richmond is 100 per cent. more preferable
than either one of them. We use the word
preferable advisedly, not in the least in
encouragement in general way OF the
other cities. But Richmond Is preferable
as combining all the demands of hall
room, hoteLroom, and commerce. Half
the people who como as delegates to q
State gathering come with . view to
trsde-eithsr wholesale or retail trade.
Richmond is the place.

the evil Of their ways" remarked Alvin
Cameron, addressing the Cherry Tree
Club, aSse mbled at the Laclede. The
young gentlemen had been absorbing
waller back literature, and were fired
with an ambition to exterminate the
Indian race. They had procured mis-
cellaueOus assortment Of firearms
and taken box-car passage for the
gladstone west. They got as far
as Beatrice, Neb., and encamped in
the outskirts of the town. They had a
small tent, into which they had all
crowded, and were curled up like a
basket OF kittens, dreaming Of future
'cOuQuestS, when the fathers Of three OF
them arrived in such of the 'runawayS.
They held consultation, and decided
70 brighten the youngsters by an Indian
attack. Myself and two other travelling
men entered into the scheme, and half
the town turned out TO see the fur. We
surrounded the tent and sent up q

began 10 beat on tin pans and FIRE
OF our pistols. Then we listened, ex-
pecting to hear cries OF woe and wall
from the interior OF the tent. But we
didn't. There was rafting OF muskets

second later we weSe falling over each

the proper thing to do was to send the
city marshal TO capture the youthful
outlaws, which we succeeded in doing"
