WELL DONE

Now that it is all over our citizens
begin to wonder how it sill happened
and happened so nicely Freder-
ieksburg has done herself great credit
in the entertainment Of her invited
guests, her one-time foes, and no
words Of our pen can equal the ex-
travagant, but sincere praise, which
was lsvished upon our people by the
guests in their public and private
talks. For this felieitous pRssiOg
Of events that were fawless, and
without hitch, credit is due to one
and ell Of our people, without exeep'
ton, but if we were permitted to
single any out for pre.eminent dis
tinction, we should mention the joint
committees, of which Col. E. D. Cole
was chairman, and the ladies COM
mittee, Mrs. J. P. Corbin, chairman.
The orations of the occasions were
superb. In the last issue Of THE FREE
LANCE were published speeches by
distinguished visitors; on our first
page today are those of Governor
Tyler and Gen. Wheeler. Later will be
reproduced the brilliant speech Of our
townsman, Mr.. St.George r. Fitzhugh,
whose fluent effort has been so mighty
complimented by the distinguished
visitors-among them President Me-
Kinley- aid all those who were for
tunate enough to be under the sound
of his voice. 1t is chaste, conserva'
tive, eloquent;wsrm but not fulsome.
At the Opera House Judge John
T. Goodrich delivered a response
which, in conjunction with Mr.. Fitz-
hugh's (both of which will appear
in verbatim forr in our next issue),
caused ~ distinguished visitors,
without exception, to express senti-
ments such as, I'VE thought our party
numbered some orators among rs,
bat they cannot compare with the
talent you have here. We are as
founded" At the Opera House
when Judge Goolrick said, 81 am
proud to have been an humble pri
vate soldier in the Confederate Army,
q follower of the peerless and immor-
tai Lee" he was spplauded to the
echo, and the old soldiers Of the
Army OF the Potomac heartily joined
He concluded his peroratiOn by urg-
ing as the motto and shibboleth of
both armies "Whom God has joined
together let no party, people or power
cause to be put ssunder."In his speech
on Saturday at Richmond General
King alluded to Judge GoOlrick's
speech here and said that the Judge
"was private in the army but he was
undoubtedly a general in oratory."
II is our common pride that our
citizens should have reflected such
SURPRISING credit upon our city, and
to feel that the merits and worth of
its individuals are recognized beyond
the limits of our section.

THE proposition for Constitution.
al convention undoubtedly carried
at the polls last week, but the vote
was so light that the victory was
hardly a compliment to the Demo
cratic organization. THE FREE LANCE
predicted that if it got through at all,
it would be by a shave; and this was
practically s.. Even the "shave"
would hardly have been there if the
methods of balloting had not
largely favored the proposition.
Should the Democratic party have
the temerity to stick to its pledge
and give the people another chance
at it, it will require harder
work to carry after the new
provisions have created many new
directors. Let the work be done
we'll, though, devoid OF fear or favor,
and let only the best men be selected
for that duty. The professional pol
itician, who is afraid Of the people,
has no place in the convention, and
it is hardly probable that he will
want the job. This thought carries
with it much consolation.
