1T WAS JUDGE TkRvlK's SPEECH !

Last Fridays Register says, editor
tally:
1.-THE CLIMAX printed Wednesday
what purpOrted to be Judge Tarvin's
speech delivered here Monday, but no
more Tarvin's than George Washing
toms and everybody knows the Father
of His. Country couldn't make a speech
If he tried. Through the Associated
Press the Register got the same speech
in manuscript form that the CLIMAX
used, but finding it different in text
from what Judge Tarvin actually
spoke, it refused to perpetrate such an
imposition upon its readers and kllled"
the item. The Cincinnati Enquirer
and Louisville Post, got caught just
like our 'steemed contemporary, which
can console itself with the thought
that such things sometimes happen IN
the best regulated newspaper offices.
That all sounds very high and
mighty, and exhibits wonderful lana
gosity," not to say danlphuleishness-
The item is entirely unique coming
from It's source. Whenever r. Lee
Davis shrinks from 'perpetrating an
imposition" upon his readers, then, in
deed, has the millennium dawned.
As self-respecting journal with ,435
individual subscribers, the CLIMAX
feels constrained to take notice of the
above semi-iriendly detraction because,
if what Davis says be true then, indeed
is the CLIMAX Il hypocrite and has
gulled its patrons in II way worthy of
ridicule, not to say contempt. But
the CLIMAX did no such thing. 1t
printed Judge Tarvin's speech exactly
as it came from Judge Tarvin's pen,
and had the Register had the time to
do so it would undoubtedly have ''per-
petrated the imposition" on its readers,
too. But the Register did not care to
keep its printers up all night to set up
the speech, although it had half Of it in
type when press hour arrived. So
Davis fertile brain evolves scheme,
which is to discredit the GILMAN and
and thereby excuse itself for not per-
forming its duty to the Democracy. OF
which it "purports" to be champion
and which we sincerely hope it is.
So it kills" the item. Well, well,
wellln And the woOdcock went fish
ing for more suckers. 1t is positively
humorous, this discovery we have
made, that Davis will not impose a
flake" upon his readers. Why, bless
his short memory, he has the most
thrilling history of escapes from death
on account Of fakes" of any newspa-
per man that ever came up the Rich
mond pike. And yet, when it came to
matter of printing a speech of one OF
the foremost Democrats of the nation
who honored us with his presence, or
printing a six-colnmn report of the Re
publican railroad convention, in which
Democrats had naturally very little
interest, he chose the latter, and on
Friday lie "perpetrated" upon his
Democratic readers a complete two-page
account Of the REPUBLICAN convention
held here the very day after Judge
Tarvin spoke. That's where we smile,
and other Democrats are asking whats
the matter with the Register"

space from double English asterisk,
he is to excused for his ignorance,
The truth is all printing offices in the

substance of what l expected to say
and did say. but of course was not in

expected to-day. 1t was not intended
TO be memOriZed All that was said
by me in. that speech. in addition TO
that which was printed in the CLIMAX.
was in elaboration of, and consistent
with, that which was so printed. i had
the manuscript of the speech with me,
and read it over OH the train as / went
to Richmond.
1t was the first speech / ever pre-
pared, excepting the one delivered by
me at the Dollar Dinner in New York
in April, and / made every effort to
adhere to the speech as prepared, and
did adhere to it.
Sincerely,

And so, had r. Lee been sincerely
anxious to have the speech verbatim

BoRRs CAPTURE BRITISH.

British E~ntrapped and Defeated again.
LONDON, Nov. 16 The long silence
respecting operati ms in Natal has been
broken ia a manner wholly unwelcome
to the British. whose hopefulness, based
on the arrival of rein forcements on the
coast, has received sharp setback by
news Of disaster to an armored train
near Chieveley. The Beers had pre-.
pared a clever little trap, into which
the British fell. It is known that the
enemy held the country through which
the train had been passing for days,
but apparently immunity from attack
strengthed the British into over con
idence. After they had fallen into the
trap personal bravery was useless in
face of the excellent fire Of the Beers,
who are now able to send TO Pretoria
another batch of prisoners, v~ariously
estimated at from fifty to n hun
dred. There is little doubt that Win
ston Churchill is among the prisoners.
