The final commencement exercises Of
the Virginia College for Young Ladies'
took place yesterday evening in the col
lege chapel, which WAC filled to over
flowing with brilliant and highly ap-
'preciative audience. The young lady
pupils were all attired in white end as
they marched to their places on the
raised seats upon the platform pre-
sented beautiful ard inspiring sight.
The programme, which consisted of
vocal and piano music, the announcing
Of distinctions, comforting degrees,
awarding diplomas and an address to
the graduates by w. A. Glasgow. Jr., Of
this city, was successfully carried out
in all respects. The music was of q
high order, rejecting much credit on
both the pupils and their teachers. and
the address Of Mr.. Glasgow was spark
ling gem OF praise to woman, for which
he was loudly applauded, besides being
the recipient of beautiful bouquet
from the young lady graduates.
The awarding OF the two medals for
neatnesS to Misses Ballard and Craig
was an entire surprise to the young
ladies as we'll rs the audience.
The two conduct medals awarded to
Misses Dean and Roberts were also
quite unexpected. To receive these
medals the young ladies must have
attended college at least three years
without receiving q demerit, and must
| also take degree.
Never before in the successful history
OF Virginia College Is recorded q more
| prosperous year than that just ended.
Every prospect Is bright and there Ia no
reason TO doubt that the year of '97 will
see the college as far ahead of its pres
emit high standing as '96 Ia in advance
| Of 's5.

II believe fairly amicable adjust

possible the free silver element will
have majority sufficiently large 10
control the convention. No, l do not

there will be none. Democrats, as q

The DEMOCRAT of this city prints
the fake letter attributed to Mr.. In
gals after it read Mr.. Ingalls, state
ment that it was a fraud and not q
word of it written by him. Does the
DEMOCRAT imagine it can perpetrate
a fraud of this kind without detection?
Such conduct only Injuries the party
that practices it.-Tribune.
So, Ingalls, denies it, does he?
Denies saying the smartest thing ever
attributed to him? Well, Ingalls, is
somewhat of 3 grasshopper anyhow;
he hops about incessently in search of
green feed, and keeps people guessing
as to what he is going to do or say
next. We took a good republican
paper for our authority for his author
ship of the famous letter, and we had
heard of no denial from the dead ex.
senator until after it was published in
the DEMOCRAT. We have a speech
of Mr.. Ingalls,, delivered in the U. s.
senate in 1878, and published in the
Congressional Record, in which he
says some very bitter things against
those who would oppose the free coin
age of silver. We shall re-publish
those remarks. Possibly he will deny
them, too. In the same connection
we shall tell you what the Hon.
James G. Blaine thought of your
goldbugism about the same time. He
is dead, we regret to say, but if living
he was too honorable a man to deny
his own utterances. "The Lord hates
a coward-and Ingalls, has not been
brave"

HONOR to whom honor is due. Con.
gresham Charles Curtis, of Topeka,
who is the republican nominee for re,
election in the 4th congressional dis
trict, refuses to advocate the gold
platform of the St. Louis convention,
and says by reason of that platform
the republicans will lose Kansas by
30, 900 majority this fall if they en-
dorse it. Curtis is a young man who
believes that honesty in politics is as
necessary to good government as hon.
esty in business, and having been all
his life an honest advocate of the free
coinage of silver he cannot now stul-
tify himself by bowling submission 20
Wall Street. IF republicans save a
single congressman in Kansas this
year il will be Charlie Curtiss.

THE goldbugs are mad at the faith

of the world for the rectitude of our
intentions, do in the name, and by
authority of the good people of these

That these United Colonies are. and
of right ought to be Free and indie
pendent states; that they are absolved
from all allegiance to the British
Crown, and that all political con-
nection between them and the State

totally Dissolved; and that as Free and
Independent states, they have full
power to levy war, conclude peace,
contract alliances, establish commerce,
and to do all other acts and things
which Independnt States May of right
do. And for the support of this Dec.

EASTERN gold standard men want
the present situation to continue until
Europe agrees that The u. s. may
change her financial system. In other
words, the eastern republicans want a
continuation of 80 cent wheat and 10
cent corn, depression of commerce and
-stagnation of business. In such times
money changers have a rich harvest,
and of course they want the conditions
to continue.

into law then and not till then will
the party be ready to die-as die it
will if it becomes as hidebound as the
two old parties of today. The ques,

Boom For H1l For Governor.

NoRMANDTE-By THE SEA, N. j., July
21.-If certain powerful leaders in the
Democratic state machine have their way,
David B. Hill will be the Democratic
nominee for governor of New York this
year. The Hill boom is no longer a mere
suggestion. 1t has the backing of such a
conspicuous party man as Senator Edward
Murphy. Murphy, it is asserted, has de-
clared repeatedly to his intimate friends
that Mr.. Hill is the man of the hour. Sem
ator Hill has made no public utteranee re-
garding the matter, but it is believed that
he would accept the nomination for gov
ernor, though he undoubtedly prefers to
be returned to the United States senate.
