Was o'FerraiPs Name on the Republican
Ticket With His Consent?
An Oray, I atfarl
Gan open Letter.
August

CHARLOTTESVILLE, August s. 1893.
Hon. c. T. oFerraH
Sir-Having been informed by one Of
your particular friends that you would
probably visit Charlottesville some day
during the July or August terms OF the
County Court Of Albemarle, l attended
said courts so as 10 have IN interview
with you, but failing TO see you ! adopt
this method Of communicating with you,
as / cannot, with self-respect. postpone
noticing your card. Had your card in
reply to that of your political friend, but
personal enemy, William Il. Alexander,
Of Winchester, which was published in the
Richmond Dispatch OF the 10th Of June,
been confined TO your defense against his
assaults and not assailed any other per-
son l would not have taken any public
notice Of it's contents, even though ! did
not admit them 10 be true. The third
paragraph Of said card, which is here
with published, states that If any man
charges. intimates or insinuates that my
name was ever on any Republican ticket
with my knowledge. assent or approba-
ton, directly or Indirectly, he utters a
base. wilful, wicked and malicious false
hood" Can IL be possible that you have
forgotten an interview you had with me
n short time before the presidential cleo
tion of 1872. and my refusal 10 accept
for distribution among Republican voters
a package Of tickets with your name
printed on them as a candidate for Con-
gress and blanks for electors? and did i
not tell you 10 give lnose tickets 10 Demo-
Gratis who designed voting for you. as
we would have your name printed upon all
OF our Grant tickets and put them in the
hands OF Republican ticket holders for
distribution? and did you not by silence
give your consent or assent for this TO be
done? The service you rendered the Re-
publican party by your denunciation OF
Greeley and the abuse that was conse-
quently heaped upon you by Democratic
orators and editors endeared you To the
Republicans OF this district, who gave
you their entire vote. Your statement 10
me on the floor Of the House OF Delegates
before you were elected county judge by
the Democrats, that you did not know
whether you would go with the Demo-
Gratis or Republicans" satisfied me that
you were then neutral In politics In con-
sequence OF your uncalled for abuse of
Republicans during the gubernatorfal
campaign OF 1873, after your return TO the
Democratic fold, they could not aud would
not under any circumstances have sup
ported you for Congress In 1874 and you
remained in the field. and did not evil
dence OF that fact induce you TO withdraw
from the field soon after you left Char
lottesTlle? | can't believe that you Will.
after due reflection. deny any portion OF
the statement herein made. and trust. as
you aspire 10 be Governor OF this grand
old Commonwealth, you Will acknowledge
your mistakes TO be the fault OF a memo
~ that has betrayed you. No patriotic
Virginian should hesitate TO correct an
erior when a persistence in II would sully
the fair escuteheon OF our dear old
mother. Yours. in haste.

WHY IS FREE COINAGE OF SILVER
DEMANDFD7

The statesman looks at facts as they
exist. He may think popular move
ment absurd. he may think It devoid of
adequate cause, but IL IL is a movement
or the people or Of any considerable part
OF the people. he takes cognizance of it,
seeks 10 penetrate into it's origin, and
guides II as far as possible to an end
that will bring the least disaster to the
foolish ones responsible for it,
The demand for the free coinage of
silver Is so strongly supported all over
the Union. but particularly In the South
ern States, that II would be simple folly
10 ignore II by endeavoring to whistle &c
down the wind. There is a live and active
cause at the bottom OF the demand and
IL is the part OF sensible men to under
stand and accurately define the limits of
that cause, that what is good in its de-
mand may be conceded and
what is OF evil tendency In
1t may be curbed and restrained.
Bear In mind 1t is not with the present
panic that we are concerning ourselves.
We are considering the discomfort OF the
people with our financial system that has
been rife for many years. 1t is not al all
difficult to perceive just what the popular
aspiration In this direction aims at.
Many men believe it is a movement en-
gineered and shaped by those who hone
20 pay their debts with less than what
they owe. We do not doubt that those
who appear upon the surface as the lead
ers OF the movement. the politicians seek
ing ofice, are entirely capable OF leading
a movement designed to accomplish this
end. Nor do we doubt that many in
divlduals overburdened by debt are sup
por'ers OF the movement and that they
nope 10 receive relief from their oblisa-
lions as the outcome from II. Bur the
movement Is net movement OF pol,-
ucians, nor is II a movement OF bankrunts
thousands upon thousands OF earnest and
sincere men who seek no office and who
are not IN debt are backing &c who feel
themselves the victims OF something
wrong In our politico-Gnancial system
"h'cn they have enormously attributed
70 the legislation about silver as a money
us's' This. In their opinion. has caussd

PROSPECTS ARE BRIGHTYING.
The Financial Furry Is Working Out q
Hopeful Salvation for Itself

The financial prospect Is brighter, and
with increased confidence there are ex-
cellent reasons to believe that in a few
days money matters In Richmond will
be arranged satisfactory to ALL from
capitalist to wage Garner. The worst
is past, and those who have been di-
recty affected by this recent furry have
now no need for apprehending trouble.
The new order Of things has been the
custom now long enough TO work out a
salvation for itself, and it is surprising
and fortunate how well Richmond s
manufacturers and merchants have ac-
customed themselves TO what seemed at
first not only a hardship. but a plan
surrounded by impossibiites.
An investigation of the workings and
result Of the decision reached by the
Clearing House Association last Thurs
day night shows that large manufac-
turers. with hundreds of employees upon
their pay-rolls. and tobacconists who
would need currency for the purchasing
Of revenue stamps, would be the persons
most affected. aud though the decision
reached by the bankers fell upon them
very much like thunder from a clear
sky. they have summoned all of their
forces together and are to-day making
a showing of business transactions that
would be an enviable statement for cities
Of larger population and with more finan-
cial resources.
A consensus OF opinion from the lead
ing men In the manufactured tobacco
trade demonstrated yesterday that they
are succeeding admirably and Lave not
yet been forced TO close their establish
ments or postpone shipments Public
spirited men with currency have rallied
TO their support. and the dozen manu-
facturers whom ] interviewed say that
they have, up TO the present time, been
able 10 meet all demands, and are max
ing all of their shipments regularly. All
OF them concur. however, that come
thing should be Immediately done 20 nut
more currency into circulation, or some
arrangement made so that revenue stamps
can be purchased with certified checks.
Those who have made a decrease In the
number Of employees say that by next
Monday they will be working full force
and all OF them are making arrangements
10 meet their pay-rolls on Saturday with
actual cash. instead of certified checks.
Currency was at premium OF 2 per
cent. In New York yesterday. There
was no great demand for II. Manu-
facturers and merchants throughout the
country are doing all possible to avoid
paying premium. Demands for 5000

NO MONEY FOR THE CITY HALL.
The Committee on Grounds and Build
ings Lay Over the Pay-RolI.

The Committee on Grounds and Build
ings held its semi-monthly meeting in
the City Engineers Office last evening.
There were present Chairman Taylor and
Messrs. Henry l.. Carter, Epps, Curtis,
Noble and Mountcastle.
Messrs. G.. A. Bargamin and Il. ID.
Starke appeared before the committee on
behalf Of the Hollywood Cemetery Com
pany, to ascertain whether the city would
be willing to sell the part OF the Clark
Spring property adjacent to the cemetery,
which is known as the swamp, and for
which the company was willing to pay
the sum of $500.
Mr.. Bargamin explained that he un-
derstood that the subcommittee, through
the chairman. Mr. Noble. had recon-
mended the sale. He added that the
board Of directors Of the company were
anxious 10 secure a decisive answer.
Colonel Cutshaw explained that the
matter had been referred TO him for fur
Their information, which he had not been
able to secure. At his suggestion the
whole matter was finally laid over until
the next meeting.
Mr.. Noble desired 10 know from the
City Attorney what the committee would
have 30 DO ynder the existing eircum-
stances as to the continuation OF the
work on the new City Hail. while the
city had not money at its disposal for
that purpose.
Mr.. Meredith explained that thework on
the contracts already awarded could not
be stopped.
Colonel Cutshaw explained that every
thing had been contracted for. with the
exception Of carpets. lineoleum and
few minor articles Under these circum-
stances 1t would cost the city more TO
stop the work than 90 on and finish it,
Colonel Tanner, the chairman Of the
Finance Committee. who appeared while
this discussion was going on, was asked
TO give his views. He advised the COM
mttee under the existing circumstances,
il would be better 10 put off the pay
ment Of the payroll for ten days or two
weeks.
Mr.. Warren, the City Auditor. was in
vited TO the committee room 10 give the
facts in regard 10 the condition OF the
furd for the department He said that
there was no money TO the credit OF the
City Hall. The account had been largely
everdrawn, and the bonds recently ap-
propriated had not been sold
Mr.. Epps moved 10 postpone the pay
ment Of the payroll OF the workmen on
the City Hall for two weeks.
MIR. Turpin offered as a substitute that
an order be issued upon the Auditor for
a warrant upon the Treasurer for the
amount due each man. The substitute
was lost, and Mr.. Epps' motion prevailed.
Mr. Frank T. Bates, clerk TO the com
mittee, submitted the following state
ment as TO the money expended on the
