AS Mr. Brown. the boiling demo.

that the soldites, trust advocates, pro-
tectionis!s, auti-iucome takers and im'
ner ,alis..c so-called democrats OF tnat
State, like those of Maryland and IN
deed, of all the other States. voted the
straight republican ticket and thereby
nroyed that to advance their own per-
sopal interests they would put their
State under republican negro rule, ana
that their professed objection to the
manner in which Mr.. Goebel obtained
his nomination was only the cloak
under which they tried to achieve their
own selfish objects. The experience O.
this as of all other countries, is to the
effect that reformers always require

DAUGHTERS OF THE CONFED
ERACY,

Richmond yesterday morning in the as
sembly room of the Jefferson Hotel.
The body was called to order by ils
president, Mrs. Kate Cabell Currie, Of
Texas. The visitors were welcomed by
Mrs. Randolph, of the Richmond chap
ter. Little else was done but the read
| ing of Mrs. Bryan's address. The body
adjourned at noon to be present at the
unwilling ceremonies at st. Paul's
Church.
There are about 900 delegates pres
ent, representing every State from
Texas to Maryland. There is a delegs
ton from Philadelphia, with Mrs. Hal
Hsy at it's head. Mrs. Gen. Basil Duke,
of Louisville, is in Richmond and bas
met with great deal of attention.
The Daughters held an afternoon SEES
sion but nothing of interest was done.
ali of the arrangements for the unveil-
ing of the monument to Winnie Davis
| and President Davis were completed.
Mrs. James G.. Leigh, of Norfolk,

ton will take up the question OF assum-
ing charge of the building of the Davis

The Daughters and their visiting
| friends are the recipients Of many social
attentions. The Westmoreland Club
will give the visitors reception Friday
evening.
The second evening reception given
by the Richmond Daughters to the
United Daughters of the Confederacy
took place at the Jefferson last night at
10 o'clock. The beautiful hotel never
looked better and surely no handsomer
women and no handsomer gowns ever
graced its spacious apartments. The
immense crowd passed from the main
hall to the green salon and shook hands
with the widow of the President of the
Confederacy and the rest of the party.
