DEMANDS AN APOLOGY
And Failing to Get It BE Will be
Revenged.
JOSH FRANKS AS THE PEACE MAKER
He Promises to See Pearson and Others Wht
Put The lob Up on The Governor and
Make Them Fix Thing With
His Excellency.

Governor Russell is mad and threat
ems to bolt the Republican ticket.
Aye, more, he threatens to carry
with him his faithful retainers. Loge
Harris and Charlie Cook.
Just where His ENcellency will pitch
his political tent, if he pulls up stakes
and moves, is unknown. AS yet no
intimation has reached the outside
world on this point of throbbing mo-
ment. He may choose Democratic
territory. though there is far greater
probability of his stopping on Popu-
list soil.
That the Governor is in favor of the
Amendment has long been known. lie
announced it in a speech in Chicago
on Lincoln's birthday. He said it in
language as plain as the nose on Cy-
rano de Bergerac's face and not a
word of it has ever been withdrawn
or qualified.
And this is, for the most part,
responsible for his present unhappy
frame OF mind He hates the negro
as a political factor and he doesn' I
hesitate to say so. For this reason
Pritchard and the other negro-loving
doodlers who assembled here this
week in State convention hate Rus
sell.
1t is any wonder, under these cir
cumstances that his party, in State
convention. declined to endorse him?
He seems to think SO, and that's why
he is mad: he is furious, and just
i now he's engaged in giving that con
vention in general, and Richmond
Pearson in particular, a very warm
down the country.
Yesterday a sort of wake was held
i'll the Executive office and there was
much wailing and crashing of teeth
The Hon. Loge Harris was present as
chief instigator. The Hon. Charlie
Cook was there with assurances that
he always stood by his friends. Josh
Franks was there playing the blessed
part of maker and preserver of the
peace: for the Governor was there il
wrath and fury.
His Excellency was swearing ven
geance upon all who conspired to
leave him. a political waif without
tag or ticket upon the doorstep of the
convention.
1--WE be brethren softly spoke the
Hon. John Franks with depreciatin2
gesture let us dwell together in
peace"
The Governor acknowledged the de-
sirableness of the relation referred
to, but made the point that he was
not the aggressor-that it was the
other fellow who had torn the peace
into fragments; that he could not and
would not stand such step-child-lke
treatment. .HH#|
Having gained this opening Hon.
Josh Franks sailed in on his peace
bent mission. The convention. he was
sure. had not meant to snub its Gov
ernor. 1t was all a mistake, a hor-
rible oversight that coT!d and should
be corrected. And as for Pearson.
why Richmond's heart just literally
palpitated with love and admiration
for Governor Russell. and if he pear
SOM had done aught to offend the
States chief why nobody would be
more ready and willing to apologize.

MASTER PLUMBERS SATISFIED.
CHARGES OF THE STREET, SEWER
AND DRAIN BOARD NOT
EXCESSIVE

Messrs. w. II. Barnard and A. w.
Fairer appeared before the Street,
Sewer and Drain Board at noon yes
terday in the interest of the plumbers.
Iney had several complaints the chief
or which was that the board charged
100 much for repairing sidewalks that
nad been left out OF repair by the
plumbers. Only short conference was
necessary to satisfy the plumbers that
they were mistaken.
Inc members of the Street. Sewer
and Drain Board declared that the
charSes they make are not more than
suiiicient to cover the expenses of the
work. They do not make any profit for
the city on the repairs. Furthermore.
tney say that the bad condition of the
SIDEWALKS ele,N is due. in many cases. to the
neglect OF the plumbers to put the
SIDEWALKS In as good condition as they
found them.
The meeting closed with mutually
satisfactory assurances that the
plumber would be more careful with
their work hereafter, and. that the
Street. Sewer and Drain Board would
not charge any more than is neces-
sary to cover the expenses of the re-
pairs they make.

be shortened. He says they obstruct
navigation now. There is no need for
allowing more piers of nearly the same
length because that will make the
shortening OF all of them. which he re-
CARDS as inevitable, still more difficult.
He believes in beginning the work now.
MIR. L. L. WOODWARD.
THE piers are too far out now" said
MIR. Il. l.. woodward, president OF the
Bruce Grocery Company. speaking en-
phatically yesterday of the proposal of
the Norfolk and Western railway to
build another steel coal pier. ''irhey
should not have been allowed to go
there"
Continuing. he said that the piers
should be cut off rather than be eX-
tended. Speaking generally. he said 1t
would show very bad Judgment indeed
if the Harbor Commissioners should
allow any concessions which would en-
croach on the harbor or decrease the
traffic of this port. Mr.. Woodward said
the course of the Virginian-Pilo is
commendable in awakening and contin-
uing the interest of the citizens in this
important matter.
MIR. r. II. SYNON.
Mr. II. II. Synon. of the firm of Synon
&c Frost real estate dealers, said:
IF the proposed pier will permanent
" obstruct the channel it ought not to
be allowed. But If the request of the
Norioik ana western can be Suaran-
teed without making any additional OBJ
struction: and, If it will add to the
facilities of the railway, it ought to be
granted"
Mr.. Synon emphasized the fact that
the wooden piers We're already out
farther than it is proposed to run the
steel pier, and said. therefore. the OBJ
struction to navigation would not be in
creased. That being the case, he con-
tinued, that the Harbor Commissioners
should grant any request the road
makes, provided always. that the har-
Dor shall not be INSTRUCTED to n greater
extent than il is now
