MR. JEFFRIES AND THE ATTORNEY
aENEnALsHIP
Says He Has Authorized" Nobody to An
noubce His Choice OF Gubsrna-
toIial Candidates.

Senator John l.. Jefiries, of Culpeper
candidate for the Attorney -Generaship
states that he has not authorized any
body to say that he was for Mr.. Swanson
or any other candidate for the guberna.
torial nomination. He made the state
ment in response to questions regarding
newspaper correspondence from Rich
mOnd To the effect that he was a partisan
OF Mr.. Swanson's.
MIR. Jeiiries is in the city, having come
down with his daughter, who returned to
the Noman's College after the holiday.
MIR. Jefiries was at the WestmOreland
Club, and when n Times reporter, who
saw him, called his attention To the
statement made by IA Richmond CORES
pOndent, that while he personally pre-
lerred Mr.. Swanson for the GoyernOrship.
he was taking no part in the guberna-
torial canvass.

to my preferences, said the genial Sena.

liz RESPECT to the action Of promi.

In RESPECT to the action of promi-

published last Thursday in these col
umns, in regard to Fredericksburg's
position on the steamer question,
THE FREE LANCE desires to disabuse,
as far as possible, the minds OF it's
many friends in that county of the
impression that there is or has been
any inclination on the part of the
people of this city TO move in detri
ment TO the interests OF the section
which the signers of the memorial
represent. Every act on the part OF
our citizens has been in the direction
of procuring better boat accommOda-
tions, and while there have been di-
vergent opinions none of them ema-
mated from desire to curtail in any
way the facilities of any particular
locality. Every suggestion has been
with view to extending the trans
portation schedules. The signers OF
Mr.. Beverley's petition called for re-
stricted communication with the
lower river. The ideas advanced by
some of the leaders in the Business
Mems Association called for better
facilities between this city and all
points on the Rappahannock THE
FREE LANCE suggested n compromise
one that would give the people
above Tappahannock nearly as many
through boats to Baltimore as Mr..
Beverley asked for, and not quite as
many trips (but a sufficient number,
wethink) between here and the mouth
of the river. This plan was laid be-
fore Mr.. Williams by the management
of this paper, and We presume he is
giving it consideration. In submit
ting it we had an eve to the "gredtest
good to the greatest number" and
we do not think, if he has examined
the schedule, that Mr.. Beverley would
offer objection to it-because we be.
lieve he and his associates possess a
reasonable amount of unselfish dis
position.
What influence was brought to bear
upon the gentlemensigning the Caro-
line petition we donot know. Certain
it is that we are sorry theyshould have
taken hasty steps, such as place them
in the light of presenting an ulti-
matum to the business interests of
fredericksburg. We think they acted
unwisely, and believe they will sOoR
come to a lkeconclusion-ift they have
not already done so. 1t is coercivein
it's nature, and that is hardly the
method which obtains successfully i'm
business affairs. But nevertheless,
we are gratifed to see that our bust
ness men have met it in a proper
spirit, and we do not think that there
will be any spread of feeling in that
county such as the action -four Caro-
linefriends would naturally lead them
to desire. That the matter will be
satisfactorily and amicably adjusted,
as our friends at the bar are wont to
say, We have not doubt.
