GENERAL LEE.

General Fitz Lee reached Washing
ton yesterday afternoon from Rich
mond. He went at once to the Shore
ham Hotel. He has allowed his beard
to grow since his last visit to Washing
ton and when he arrived he was attir-
ed in undress uniform.
Gen. Lee declared he did not know
what he was in Washington for, but
that he came in compliance with a YER
bal order from Secretary Alger.
81 can say, however" said he, "that
l am going to Havana"
Gen. Lee also said that the troops Of
the Seventh Army Corps are in very
good health and that the reports Of
sickness among Col. William Jennings
Bryan's Nebraska regiment are very
much exaggerated.
Gen. Lee will call at the War De-
par.ment to-day to consult with the
officials. From Washington he will &c
TO New York to visit his son.
1t is said that be will be called upon
to testify before the commission ap-
pointed to investigate the conduct OF
the late war with Spain, and that he
will testify on Monday. In regard to
his contest for seat in the Senate he
said he had not yet announced his
candidacy, but when he was ready to

said, but it would not be necessary un-
til next autumn and he could return

matter.

President some Southern man who, Tor
a consideration of money or Office, be-
trayed the party in 1896, or who may
be ready to play like part again
In all this, even if it could be made
success, the people would gain nothing
The democracy would gain nothing for
their grand principles and policy, but
would be playing the part of a beast OF
burden TO carry into power set OF pol
itic,ans between whom and the repuo-
licans there would be very little choice.
The chains of the people would be riV-
eted once more, as they were by CleVe'
lands election. Wall Street would
again run the Treasury Department,
the money lender and the national
banks would be again in the saddle,
and the people would be nowhere.
Such would be the result of the game
if it could be played so as
to control the election of 1900.
But the scheme would not work. The
democratic masses will not rally to
such programme of fraud, corruption
AMI monopoly. The vote of the South
and of the democratic States of the
West is absolutely necessary in order
to elect a President, and these votes
can hardly be secured if the Chicago
platform is not totally resffirmed and 8
candidate put up who represents it. AS
for the office of Vice President, there is
nothing in it for the South, especially
if the nominee is to be trimmer and
tool of the gold standard. Efforts will
be made to buy delegates as in 1892 and
in 1896, and to control the next conven-
ton by the use OF money. Wall street
and Lombard street can we'll afford to
put up freely, if thereby the candidates
of both parties can be secured IN their
interest. But the struggle of 1896 has
put US all on our guard. "1n vain is
the net spread in the sight ofany bird"
The democracy OF the South and West
NAV be aided by the democratic dele
cations from Maine, Vermont, Massa-
chusetts and Pennsylvania, but if these
States are once more subservient to the
money kings, the great States OF the
West and the South will preserve the
honor and flag of the party untarnish
ed and they will bear it on to victory
But let all true men keep their eye on
the traitors OF 1896, and watch out for
fresh schemes of villainy.

DAUGHTERS OF CoNFEDERACY.-A
dispatch from Richmond says the
Daughters Of the Confederacy have
been called 10 meet in few days to
enter their protests against the action
of the Chicago veterans and any other
movement looking to naming q success
or for Miss Winnie Davis as Daughter
of the Confederacy. The daughters OF
both Gen. Robert E. Lee and of Mrs.
Hayes, of Colorado, the married daugh-
ter of Mrs. Davis, have been mentioned
in connection with the succession.
The friends here of the Misses Lee
are assured in advance that IN
der no circumstances would either
of these ladies permit the use
of their names in connection
with the proposed movement. The
only objection to Miss Hill and the
other ladies named as those upon whom
the mantle of the Daughter OF the Con-
federacy should fall is that this title be-
longed alone to the daughter of the
President of the Confederacy, and
could not be continued after that lsdy's
death.
