TO CORRESPONDENTS.

As the end Of the campaign gets closer,
the political correspondence OF the Dis
patch, already much larger than its
columns can accommodate, has become
overwhelming. 1t is simply impossible for
US to publish all we get; for example. the
letters on one subject alone. the defec-
ton of the Governor, would have filed
one whole issue of the paper.
Many Of our friends who write destroy
the chance of publication by the great
length of their letters. We have been
doing and are doing the best we can for
our friends. but there are limits to the
capacity Of newspaper. as there are to
everything else. and If their letters do not
appear they must accept this explana-
ton of IL

Mr.. Meredith has no more idea than the
Times has OF supporting Judge Lewis for
Congress. He may not vote for Lamb,
but he is not going to vote for any Re
publican. SO we learn from an interview
with him published in the State news
paper OF yesterday.
II the leaders are not going TO vote for
Lewis, how can 1t be expected that the
rank and file will do so? And IL they do
not, how is it possible for Lewis to be
elected? 1t seems 10 us that Lamb is sure
TO win in this fight. Old Democrats will
find 1t difficult to ''go back" upon this
veteran Confederate and ever loyal citi-
zen.

THAT E,,ronrA MEETING.
Card from Messrs. Page, Cox, and
WfIlfams.

To the Editor OF the Dispatch:
Your issue OF the 6th instant contains a
special from Petersburg. purporting 70
give an account of public speaking al
Emporia on Monday last. As this account
does US injustice. we ask space In your
columns to correct the false impression
which II conveys.
Your correspondent makes this state
ment:
Another meeting was held on the court
green. IL was composed almost exciu-
sively of negroes. there being not more
than a dozen white faces to be seen IN
the crowd. Mr.. Leigh II. Page, Jr.. ana
Mr. Williams. of Richmond. delivered
speeches for the boilers.
They were followed by Ross Hamilton,
notorious negro politician from NECK
lenburg. The darkies punctuated the
bolter speakers remarks with LIBERAL ap-
plause. but the shouts Of applause OF
their white auditors were very weak, De-
cause OF their lamentable scarcity OF
numbers
This report, In suppressing the real
facts OF the case. whether wilfuliy or IN
ignorance, CONVEYS an erroneous impress
sion.
1t Is true that we spoke from a plat
form which had been erected upon the
court green. accepting the courtesy Of
fered US by the chairman OF the Repuoii-
can District Committee. who had secured
the use of this platform for the day. III
was understood that our meeting was I'M
der the auspices OF the sound-money
Democrats Of Greenesville county, and we
were introduced by Mr.. Mills, well
known Democrat in that community, VINO
fully explained that we were national
Democrats. and asked for US, regardless
OF party lines. a respectful hearing, which
the audience granted.
We know nothing of any such speech as
your correspondent claims was delivered
following us. When our meeting had
concluded we left the platform, and as 1t
belonged to the Republican committee,
their subsequent occupancy was no con-
Germ of ours.
We must say. however, that the cour-
tesy extended us by the chairman or tire
Republican committee was in marked con-
trast with the treatment accorded us by
the Free-Silver Committee. who declined
TO divide time with US or have Joint dis
cussion on any terms. Having taken pos
session OF the courthouse. they continued
their meeting until the time arrived for
us TO take the train for Richmond.

A NOTED ARRIVAL.

Mr.. Van Lear Polk. United States
Consul General at Calcutta, India, an
appointee of President Cleveland's, ar
rived in New York Wednesday. He re-
fuses 10 follow the lead of the President
and his administration on the gold issue,
and will work for the election OF Bryan
ard Sewall. His action is based largely
On what he saw in India of the result
of the demonstration OF silver. In an IN
terview with a representative OF the
New York Journal, he said:
'The evil of the single standard Is done
In so Indirect a way that the masses,
while they feel tho Increased weight
arising from contraction. do not under
.tand well that which has happened 10
them. The experience Of the Government
Of India in recent years gives good IL
lustration Of the effects OF the demoneu-
zation Of silver and the rise in the value
of gold. The Indian railways were built
by the government with money borrowed
in LONDON. and payable there in gold.
These roads were well and economically
built, and the government easily met its
interest charges by purchasing gold with
silver rupees-the only money of India
ten rupees being worth a pound sterling
When, as q result of the demonstration
OF silver in Europe and in this country
gold began to rise, il. Of course, bought
more silver rupees, as II bought more Of
everything else
I'm the end the Indian Government
found themselves confronted with the
fact that II required twenty rupees to
pay a pound sterling of indebtedness.
Their debt had been doubled. Through
all Of this the rupee. except IL one re-
spect, was as good money as ii ever had
been; II retained its relative value TO
labor and produce. and 1t would purchase
as much of either as II ever would, but
gold had left 1t. and ii would purchase
only one-half as much as gold"
Mr.. Polk will be an instructive speaker
when he shall appear I'm the canvass.

GOLD FOR srREET-cAR MEN.

We are deeply grleved to find the
Times characterizing as ''clap-trap" the
Dispatches innocent suggestion that the
imminence OF Bryan's election has caused
gold TO come over here from En-
rope by the barrelfui. Now. how else
does the Times account for the fact
that the Richmond Electric and Railway
Company has instituted the practice OF
paying Off its employees in gold coin?
The company never did so under Harri-
sons Administration; nor hitherto, under
cieveland's. What has made IL change
It's mind now? What. indeed. but the
glorious prospect we have that on No
vember 90 Bryan and Sewall Will be
elected? We know, Of course. that the
GouIds and Treasurer Fisher are benevo-
lent people and dote upon enrich!ng
their railway employees. but In this case
It would seem that they had restrained
their naturally generous impulses, and
had acted upon business principles only.
When we consider that the railway in
qaesticn is controlled by the Gould
family. and when we remember that on
occasions they can suppress the prompt
inss OF their generous hearts to catch
Or" 10 the fnancssl situation. what could
be more probable than that the Goulds
have determined TO show their faith In
the future BY paying OF their frec-xiyer
motcrmen and conductors In gold? And
the Goulfs cceeptance OF the situation
Is rendered all the more impressive and
commemorate since the Times says zone

The Bryan Democrats are very enthu-
siastic over the fact that Colonel A. 5.
Buford is such a pronounced silver man.
The Colonel Is a fine speaker. Efforts
will be made TO get him TO go on the
stump. The speech he made here last
night would have aroused a country au-
dience as few addresses could do. The
Colonel may make few speeches.-Rich-
