site Of the Gallego Corn-Mills. and not on
tho Haxan mills property, as was orisi-
nally intended.
The old corn-mills and adjoining pro-
perty. which was sold at auction some
few weeks ago. and purchased In the
name of Mr. Richard Mead. was not

REASON FOR THE CHANGE.
Tho change Of the location for the plant
was governed chiefly by the possibility OF
securing water-power that would render
the mills absolutely free and independent

FRIEND OF SENATORIAL REFORM
Democrats Urged TO Vote for Mr.
Patteson, Who stands for This
Principle.

Richmond, Va, July 25. 1899
TO the Editor OF the Dispatch:
hear much complaint about the action
Of the City Committee I'm refusing 20 allow
the Democratic voters Of this city 70
express their choice for United states
senator In the primary on the 9th in
slant, and some threaten TO remain away
from the polls on that day. and thus
show their condemnation Of the commit
tees action. As the author OF the resOlu-
ton TO give the voters the opportunity to
express their choice, as a member OF the
Committee on Senatorial Reform appoint
ed by the May Conference. and as an
earnest believer In the rights % tine people
To be heard in this matter. appeal TO you
to use your influential paper To urge all
Democrats 10 vote on Thursday. No
good, but only injury. can be done the
great cause OF senatorial reform by those
who feel aggrieyed absenting themselves
from the polls on that day Let all Demo-
Gratis vote. Let them express their con-
demuation OF the committees action by
heartily supporting and voting for the
one man Of all others-the Hon. :. ). r..
Patteson-whO, from first 10 last, and on
all occasions, has declared himself In
favor Of the election Of senator's by the
people. Any Democrat who refuses 20
vote because OF the action OF the COM
mittee will thus injure Mr.. PattesOns
chances Of election, and this will simply
please those members OF that body who
refused 20 allow a direct expression by
the people Of their choice for senator. a
vote for him will be the most direct re-
buke 10 those members who refused 10 let
the people be- heard. Mr.. Pat,eson is an
earnest advocate OF senatorial reform,
and If elected TO the legislature VIII use
his best efforts TO have a resolution pass
ed instructing our Senators and requesting
the Representatives In Congress to vote
for such q bill as will bring about the
election Of senators by the people. He will
represent the people fairly, honestly,
and intelligently. and the great cause or
senatorial reform will have in him an
active friend and champion.
