Roanoke. Va. August 29-Special.-
Probably no death In Roanoke mas ever
been cause of greater regret among
white and colored alike than that Of Miss
Mamie Marie Tahaferr0 Saturday az
ternoOn. She was beautiful, accomplish
cd kind and noted for her cheerful dis
charge Of every duty that deyolyed upon
her. She will be sadly missed IN church
and social circles and in charitable work.
Mr.. Van Tahafcrro, her father, has
lost three girls since he came to ROa-
noke n few years ago.
There are a number of Republicans
here who will not vote for Harrison on
account OF the Force bin clause in the
platform of bis party. Among these IS
James A. Pugh. ex-president OF the Nir-
GINA Press Association, and news and
CITY editor of the Record For over two
wears he was editOr-in-chlct OF the
Herald. an Independent Republican pa
per and prior to its establishment he
edited for sixteen months the Weekly
Sun, an out and out Republican organ.
He resigned the position OF travelling cor
respondent Of the Roanoke Times, which
he held for sixteen months, 10 aid III
starting the Record. In 1880 he voted
for Daniel for Governor, but supported
the Readuster ticket with this exception,
and has since invariably voted the Ma
tiOnal Republican ticket. In State and
local elections ne has aided the Demo
Gratis materially. having advocated Farm
er Edmunds nomination two years ago
end Mckinney for Governor before and
after his nomination.
Mr. pugh is an ardent ProtectOnist
but he says he considers the Force bill
so Ubiquitous that every man who loves
his State and desires its prosperity will
ioin hands with his neighbor in the SUI
preme effort 10 stamp il ont Of existence.
He declares the maintenance OF the Nc
Kinley tariff bill is Of secondary impor-
tance as long az Virginia and the South
are threatened with the Force bill and the
revival of carpet-bag rule, with its attend
ant horrors
There are many Republicans who
secretly approve and applaud the stand
Mr.. Pugh has taken. and il is believed
that many of them will vote for Cleve-
land as "the lesser of two evils, as one
expressed it.
