H0GE TYLER'S SIDE.
CARD FROM HIS HOME CLUB PRO-
TESTING AGAINST A RECENT TABLE
Counties sYesterday-Tbe
Southwest.
RApronp. Va. July n. 1893.


To he Editor Of ne UasDdfch:
We have SO often been forced to call
attention to errors and misleading state
ments in tables OF estimates that have
been put out VIC feel like apologizing to
the public for again noticing such things.
A newspaper IN Roanoke, which has
twice within the last ten days wilfully
gone out of its way 10 misrepresent Major
Tyler IN as many as two editorials. has
put out table of estimates which for
brazen effrontery surpasses anything that
we have ever seen published tor honest
mel. to read. and were 1t not that IT IS cal
culated to mislead voters IN counties yet
TO elect delegates this week and might
have the desired effect, If not contra
dicted. where the paper IS not known we
would not dignity 1t with our notice.
All men capable OF comprehendlng anv
thing have seen all along that the mode OF
warfare against us was TO claim everything
and by much bluster and blowing the
hope was to oversum many counties oy uls-
heartening the followers Of Major Tyler.
But surely paper that Will put down IN
It's table of estimates as many as these
counties and cities ftcice. claiming these oy
an aggregate of sixty votes for It's candi-
date when. in fact, he IS only emitted TO
thirteen at most will not be believed.
Votes by the score are, claimed IN this
table tor Colonel OFerrail which are well
known to be for Major Tyler or arc dis
put d by contest.
CONSTANTLY WRITING Us.
Our friends are constantly writing TO us
calling attention TO these errors. Lot
those in the different counties who know
how their delegations stand read this table
and Judge OF the accuracy OF the whole by
what they have knowledge OF.
We would call attention TO the claims
in Amherst, Botetourt, Carroll, Campbell.
Clarke, Rappahannock, Madison, Prince
William. Lee, Norfolk. Bedford. FauquIer,
and many other counties and to the claim
Of Northampton, when that county. ac-
cording TO letter from q gentleman In
the county, has not yet elected It's dele
gates.
Ne could easily show that nearly one
third OF the votes counted against us IS
made up IN this way, but time will not
permit.
Let oil lovers Of fairness and justice see
to ii that such q policy does not avail to
put a man in the high and honorable posi-
ton ~ Governor Of this grand old Com
mouwealth.
Major Tyler's friends point TO him with
pride and pleasure as a man far above al
loving anything he could prevent from
being done which would in the least mis-,
lead the public Surely fair-mlnded and
justlce.loving public will see to 1t that he
does not suffer from such misrepresenta-
tons. II. L: PRESTON.
