THE STATE CANVASS.
eAtNyRA's POLITICAL POT BROUGHT
TO THE BOILING POINT.


FORK UNION. VA. October as.--(spe-
cial)-At Palmyra yesterday rt-day)
the political caldron was made to pass
from a simmering condition TO the boil
ing-point by the Joint discussion OF
Mr.. Franklin. OF Appomattox, and the
Hon. George ID. Wise, of Richmond.
These gentlemen discussed In a mastery
style the now-trite issues OF the canvass
and each was accorded hearty applause
by their respective party adherents. Mr.
Wises long experience In Congress, and
his tact and power as a debater OF
course gave him an easy triumph over
his antagonist who was not well posted
on the tariff and financial questions. and
who did not seem to know the character
OF some Of the country's exports until
the information was happily furnished
him by Mr.. Wise. II was a noteworthy
incident that the Populists united in the
applause OF the Republicans, who. for the
most part, are gentlemen OF dark cuticle
and dense ignorance. Mr.. Wises visit TO
our county was very timely one, and
was master-stroke for the ticket.
Such was the lateness of the hour at the
close OF the debate, the young orator from
Petersburg. Mr. Lassiter. who arrived,
pending the tilt between Wise and Frank
lin. had only time to pay a handsome
compliment to the Hon. St George
Tucker and present IN eloquent outline
the claims OF his party on the voters at
the November election.

USING UNCLE SANS NAME LIGHTLY.
Quite an Embarrassing State of Affairs
That Observation-Disclosures

WOODSTOCK, VA. October 2.--(Spe-
cial)--A rather amusing. and at one time
embarrassing state of affairs. resulted in
this county last week from the use of the
term Uncle Sam" A gentleman whose
name Is Samuel, residing Il few miles
from town, sent his nephew to county
postmaster TO collect debt due on the
purchase Of some machinery. The man
was not at home, but his wife, who was
interested In the purchase, promised the
money in thirty days The nephew was
very positive In his demands, and lett
word that II the debt was not paid at the
time agreed upon. "Uncle Sam would
close them up" In the eyes of county
postmaster there Is nothing in the world
SO important as the little Office over
which he presides. and he construed the
message into a threat OF the UniIed
States Government. The matter was re-
uortcd TO the POst-Ofiice Department. ana
on last Tuesday evening post-oince III
spector from Washington arrived here
hired a horse and buggy, and was soon
on the track OF the person who was IN
terfering with the postal affairs OF the
government. When the young man was
found there was mutual surprise. ana
the nephew declared that all he meant
WAS. If he did not pay the money Uncle
Sam SmOot would cloee up his saw
mill" The inspector appreciated the JOKE
and hastily returned to Washington.
