HENRY WYATT.

North Carolnians have long been proud
TO remember with honor Henry Wyatt,
of Company A. First North Carolina

North Carolinans shed the first blood
on the batte-fields of Virginia, June 10,
1861. Now comes an intimation that he
was not a native of North Carolina. VIII
some one tell the truth about 1t? Per-
haps at this day the truth can be found
only in Edgecombe. the county in which
he enlisted.-The Charlotte Observer.
This question was discussed by several
correspondents OF ours some years ago.
our recollection is that II was shown
that young Wyatt was a North Caro-
linian by birth. but had lived in Rich
mond several years. He was in North
Carolina when the war broke out and
there enlisted.
We believe Wyatt was not the first
Confederate soldier killed by the Federal
troops in Virginia; but We think it has
been established that he was the first
soldier killed i'm this State In line OF bat
tlc. lie had near relatives and many
dear friends in Richmond. ana his body
is buried in Hollywood Cemetery here.
We write from memory-not. "a safe

involved. but we venture to do 1t. rather
than search our fles for MANY wears past.

The Cold Facts About Mr.. Tyler's
Canvass.
CCommunicated.)

(COmmunlcated)
Editor -Vlndicator:
Major Hoge Tyler. an asprant for the
Democratic nomination for Governor. was
in Stanton and Augusta few days ago.
Some quotations from him by his friends
have. in view Of history, astonished me.
He was quoted as saying that the con-
vention in 1923 promised him the nomi-
nation in 1897. Who ''promised' him?
Not the convention, certainly L have
carefully read every resolution offered
and all the proceedings of that conven-
ton, and there does not appear reso-
luton or even a mention OF MAJOR Tyler
or anybody else for 1897. or for any other
year. Every Democrat knows that no
delegate to a State convention has any
power to promise anything save for the
convention of which he IS a member.
Major Tyler did not withdraw from the
fight. he stuck il out 10 the last. What
would anybody promise" him anything
for? SO much for the promises!
Now for the brilliant hopes quoted by
his friends as expressed by the Major,
| may say confidently. that there is not,
within my knowledge a Virginia Demo-
crat of Major Tyler's prominence who
knows so little of the state of mind in
his party. l will prove it: The Demo
cratic State Convention Of 1888 met On
August nth. On the 81 of that month,
only fourteen days before the meeting,
Major Tyler's campaign manager issued
the following statement Of the canvass:
BRADFORD Va, August 3, 1893.
"To date, Tyler has 3SS, Colonel OFFER
rail- ST. Colonel Buford Ga. Doubtful A.
There are 575 delegates yet to be
elected. Colonel O'Ferrall will not have
over $50 on the first ballot.
II. c. PRESTON,
secretary Tyler Home Club"
That was Major Tyler's information up
to fourteen days of the meeting Of the
convention. Well. the convention met,
and TO show you just how near Major
Tyler came to it. l give you'the vote on
the first and only ballot:
Tyler......... .,.......'. '''..''''' '''''' ooD
From this exhibit Democrats can judge
just how little ground there is for Major
Tyler's prophecies now.
OF that convention about 200 out OF the
sos members were elected from the
cities; the remaining 400 were from the
counties representing the farming ele-
ment OF the State. The vote Major
Tyler got was a stunning negative 10
the claim that was put up for him then
(and that is being rehashed in 1890 that
he was the choice Of the farming ele
ment OF the State.

AUBIN l.. BOUEWARE.

Death. ever seeking a shining mark, has
not lately leyelled its dread shaft at any
man so prominent in the business affairs OF
Richmond as Mr.. Aubln L. Boulware.
BY profession a lawyer, he first became
known to our community as a member
of the firm Of Johnston, Boulware &c VIII
liams. but having successfully served in
several important receverships he made
a reputation as a businessman, in addi-
ton to the honors that he had won at
the bar
Upon the death OF that good and valu-
able citizen, Isaac Davenport, Jr., Mr..
Boulware succeeded to the presidency OF
the First National Bank Of Richmond,
and this position, together with the d.
rectorship that ne held in the Southern
Railway Company, left him little time for
the active practice of the law. But the
fact that he had achieved distinction at
the bar and as a banker. too. speaks
convincingly as to his energy and capa-
city. especially when 1t is remembered
that he gave four years service TO the
Confederate cause, at a time when he
should have been at college. Only after
the war was over was Mr.. Boulware able
to take his degree at the University,
but this he did with a distinction that
foreshadowed a useful career He had
little taste for appearing in public life,
vet he took a lively interest in public az
fairs, and few people were better in
formed than he on matters of current
history. Withal, he was tender and
loving to friends and family, and hun
dreds will feel the keenness of personal
afIlictlon in the death which has bereft
his family of its head and this community
of a wise and progressive fnancier.

Within the last few days / have trav-
e.led through a considerable portion OF
Virginia. As a native Richmonder, it
made me proud 10 hear the kind things
said of Hon. j. Taylor Ellyson. As I
will not be home until a few days be-
fore the primary election, / write TO say
that If Richmond does not DO hand
somely by Mr.. Ellyson, the other parts
OF this old Commonwealth will never
forgive her.
Few realize, l dare say, how popular
Mr.. Ellyson is with the people where /
have benin the Lynchburg section, the
Valley Southwestern Virginia, and the
Southslde. They look upon him as a
man deserving Of all honors that can
be bestowed upon him.

We are glad 20 know that the Dispatch
agrees with us in deprecating the plan
of assessing the candidates for the cost
of the primary; but our esteemed con-
temporary will understand, we hope. that
the Landmarks criticism was uttered in
no spirit Of hostility TO Richmond and
out of no preference for or against any
particular candidate or candidates for

mark.
That's all right, brother Landmark.
The action Of Richmond's committee is
as greatly condemned here as it can pos
sib,y be by people OF other parts Of the
State

RICHMOND Misunderstood.

The following from the editorial col
umns Of the Danville Register is a
type of the paragraphs that are going
the rounds Of the Virginia press;
Richmond proposes to hold a primary
to elect delegates to the Roanoke Demo-
cratic Convention and TO make the can
ddates foot the bills. There is strong
kick against this precedent from various
parts of the State.
We cannot wonder that our contempt
raries in other cities do not understand
this question. for many Of our own people
ire mystifed by the primary-election
plan adopted by our Democratic City
Committee.
That the assessment feature IS usual
and proper here when only Richmonders
are in the field Of contest we. of course.
concede; but what right has the COM
mittee TO assess non-residents? And II
we had that right, surely it would be
lnexpedlent to exercise it, because we
should thereby prejudice the country
people against our city.
All Of these considerations and others
Of great force were presented to the
City Committee night before last by a
delegation of Mr.. Ellyson's friends, but
the committee would not consent 20 alter
its plan-in the slightest degree.
The committee consists of thirty men,
bers, and If each OF them had under
taken TO go upon our streets to raise
1884, the sum total OF the cost OF the
primary could have been obtained easily
enough.
But there is another strong ground upon
which the Dispatch opposes the as
sessment idea, and this is that 1t is
humbllng to the pride Of Richmond for
us to have to call upon any one who
Is not citizen OF Richmond to help
, pay election expenses OF ours that are
purely local.
AS we have said before, this wotld
be a reversal OF our practice. Hereto
fore, Richmond has contributed many
thousands Of dollars TO the Democratic
party for expenditures in other locali-
ties. II list Of contributions made by
each city In this State to the State cam
paign fund could be published. our peo-
- lf AL -
the exhibit.
Again, the Indignation OF our people
Is aroused against the plan because. while
1t is practical for every other city TO give
It's solid delegation to its favorite candi-
puts Richmond at disadvantage as COM
pared with other communities.
The City Committees action in adopt
ing this plan was surprise and shock
TO most OF our people. They were not
expecting anything of the kind. They
took It for granted that the usual plan
would be adopted. not that a iong-for-
would DC revived and put in force.
II the present plan should be followed
next year, when we come 20 nomi-
nate congressman. we might be
confronted with great trouble. Under
this primary plan. Richmond, as a
political factor would sink into inslg-
nincance. And so we might have to beg
for terms where our Importance. II pro-
perly expressed. would give us the right
TO dictate terms TO others.
