full representation from every precinct

adjoining counties and towns, including

concluded the speaking. dwelling largely
upon the duty of the Democrats to vote
on the Sth of November. His speech was
beautifully interspersed with rhetorical
fights. His reasoning was sound and
practical; his eloquence brilliant and
charming. 1t is certain that the Third

Johnson has been the only man to give
the ellipse a good trial this year, for 1t
takes six or eight weeks to get used TO the
jerky motion of the machine, because the
rider is not sure OF his control or the ma
chine at first. Munger has lately adopted
the new contrivance and has done very
good work since, breaking the three and
four-mile competition records at Evans

tice on the new wheel. The other riders

Major Randolph. Captain Spence and
Ouartermaster Brown, conferred yesterday
morning with Mr. Everett Waddey on be-
half of the Exposition people. 1t was proven
that some four or five days would be neces-

and il was. therefore, decided to give up
the idea OF repeating the spectacle at this

1t had been the desire on the part Of Lee

The cycle races on Thursday and Fri
day proved even a greater attraction at
the Exposition than even the most enthu-
dastic wheelmen anticipated.
Fully 1900 people were gathered around
the Exposition track. and pushed and
1ostled each other to get glimpse OF
the starts and finishes.
The Times produces to-day picture OF
the start in cycle race. which gives an
excellent view Of the racers and how the
start is made.
Unlike horse races. all starts are from
u standstill, each man having some one
TO push him off at the flash OF the pistol.
This method insures an even start TO
each competitor. and avoids the tiresome
delays often incident TO the starts in

Pamplin City, Va, Oct 19, 1892
Hon. s. Brown Allen, chairman Tenth
congressional district committee, Staun-
ton, Va.
Dear Sir.-I have just been officially
advised of the action OF the
Republican congressional committee
at Washington, 10 which was
referred by the national committee the
questions relating 10 nominations for
Congress in the several districts OF Vir-
ginla.
After careful consideration, It seems,
of all the circumstances and conditions
existing in the Tenth district. It was
thought wisest by the committee that
should withdraw from the field.
l desire now, through you, TO signify
my purpose and intention to act upon the
advice OF the committee. Whatever may
be my own opinion as to the wisdom OF
the action of the committee in this re-
gard. it seems TO me, and I am sure all
my friends will agree TO IL, that 1t would
be very unwise for me to continue the
fight in open defiance of the will of the
rational committee, which is the highest
authority in matters Of this character.
In that event l might be regarded as a
rebel against ethe party lava selfish
seeker after honor and office-without
thought or care for the welfare of the
great party TO (which we belong, the
triumph Of which in this election is in
deed "a consummation devoutly 10 be
wished" I have no desire TO play that
role. I believe in the party and the party
law. and If the party law is adjudged
against me by a court Of last resort l
am always willing to submit to the judg-
ment, let il be what it may.
