ANENT THE GRANGE CAMP.
Ths most important difference between
the position OF Mr.. Wedderburn. master
Of the State Grange Association. ana
the Governors message recommending
the repeal of the charter OF the
Grange Camp Agricultural Association OF
Northern Virginia, seems to be with re-
gard to whether the franchise Of that
organization or the privilege VI book
making on its grounds was leased out.
The Governor in his message says on
this point:
TN the spring Of 1884, or winter pre-
ceding. the franchises Of said charter
were in some manner secured. IS AL
ready stated. by certain persons In the
city OF Washington, and these persons.
claiming the right 10 act under said
charter. established the park at Alex
ander Island. heretofore mentioned.
many miles distant from the original
location. IN Fairfax county. and have.
In a most bold-faced manner perverted
the purposes OF the charter by making
their drlvtng-park simply place. as
stated before. for horse-race gambling,
bookmakins. pool-selling, etc, at all sea-
sons"
Mr.. Wed1erburn, In discussing this
matter before the State Grange We'd
nesday night, said
"The association has never run race
under It's present management or offered
purse for racing. Ii has never made
a book on racing but has leased out this
privilege. and for availing itself OF an
unsought privilege granted by the Legis-
lature, the Governor of Virginia would
have the Legislature repeal the charter
Of 1886, and thus destroy thousands OF
dollars worth of property. :nuch OF which
came from outside capital. and was In
vested IN Virginia at the invitation OF
the Legislature. 1t would be an act OF
grave injustice for the Legislature to
adopt the Governors recommendation.
so far as II relates TO the Grange Camp
charter"
There are other differences between the
Governor and the Grange, but this is
the most important one.
The Maupn and Reddy racing bills
will come up before the House to-day for
discussion.
