We have erdcavorcd in plain way to
set the matter before the eyes Of our fell
low citizens. We invoke the union ut all
men and all parties who believe that the
time has come for the triumph Of Justice
1t is an hour when the people may speak
for themselves us individuals and through
conventions to be held II is the right of
every citizen to Indicate his preferences
With this in view we offer to the forth.
coming conventions and To the people the
name of Il man for the presidency of the
United states, whose life in public and in
private. represents those distinguished
virtues which adorned the days and the
deeds Of the earliest time of this republic; a
return to VIII h virtues Is requisite for the
prO~I Gritty II Il CnntCntmrnt Of the people
and the WInrtuity and commanding
example Of tree institutions
That Name Is Henry NJ. Teller,
man Of the people and for the people.
He is "f no section. His experience and
service. his d"VOtiOn to the common jus
tice and the cHmmon cause Of his fellow
citizens has bee as wide is the country.
We believe that the e I.ly " the United
States have him in thr.v hearts as he has
through all the work # al exalted life.
1t is not -rrrely a. the exponent of mon
| etary rcfurIH hat we present this man to
the people 1t is true he waged mighty
war for the rightful money Of the consti-
tuition and his name has been identified as
| no other living man vita mis- great cause
But had his services been less demanded
! and less noticed in this direction, the peo-
pie would still! have recognized in him for
| other labors,
| Statesman of the Purest Type.
His only purpose has been that of purse
| in all things else-in the generOsities OF
| man to man. in kindlineSs of deeds for his
fellows and in the study and the doings
| of a mighty career he has been one OF the
| most oppulent American citizens OF any
| age. In submitting this name to the peo-
pie we remind them that just generation
ago, from the heart of the boundless West
and touched by the finger Of God, there
arose an emancipation who was powerful
in the work of human deliverance. BY his
wisdom with courage, providently directed,
millions were set free and the nation Kept
in its holy union If others shall see this
opportunity as we see it,; If our fellow cit
liens shall see this duty as we see it.;
| DC ISpSoeSA eAA>A
another man-clothed in the majesty OF
devotion to the race-will be lifted to
power whereby his vision and courage,
providently directed, more millions may
be made free from chains as CALLING as
those of actual slavery, and the nation
may be preserved in the unity OF its mis-
sion to the world.

LIVE In THE WAGON.
Both Ate and slept I'm the vehicle.
which Was Made Quite Comfort
abIc-TraveIIing Six Weeks, and
All Quite Well.

Just as the sun went down yesterday
afternoon long wagon. with black oil
cloth top. with stove-pipe sticking out
the rear end. and drawn by three horses
hitched abreast. slowly made its way
down the Ninth-street hill, and came to
standstill at Main street, within few
feet OF the Chamber of Commerce. 1t
was just such a wagon as was probably
used by the early settlers. when with
their families they made their way to
"the land of the setting SUM-" In the
wagon were Mr.. John yedder, his wife,
and three children. the Oldest 5 years old.
and his brother. To a Dispatch reporter
who talked with Mr.. vedder for the few
minutes he stopped to rest his horses
and to send to the post-office for his
mail, he said that he and his family. ac-
companied by his brother left Wasth-
nav county, Michigan, six weeks ago,
having determined 10 settle In Virginia
on account of the superior climate OF this
State, and. having rented farm OF sixty
two acres situated on the Petersburg
railroad four miles south of Manchester.
He had leased the land from a Mrs.
Suttln, WHO InOFtu u itoih
this State. During the whole trip, he
said, none Of the party had been sick.
One of the children had had a slight cold,
but that was all. They had only travelled
by day. At night the horses were stabbed
In some barn, while, Of course. the little
band of settlers had slept In the wagon,
which had been their home for six weeks.
During the entire trip he only got on
the wrong road twice. In Pennsylvania,
he said, they had terrible weather, and
part of the trip through that State was
made over roads covered over two feet
in snow. He also struck some rough
roads there. and once was half day
climbing a hill over mountain. the
distance being only three miles.
Mr.. Vedder and his wife seemed to be
very glad that they were near the end
OF their journey, and when they started
off. after having rested about ten min
utes, said they lid not expect to stop
again until they arrived at their destina-
ton.
