WILL NOT AFFECT THEM.
Richmond Telephone Company on Ssle of
Virginia Long Distance System.

Editor of The Times:
Sir,-The- conclusions drawn in your ar
ticle in this mornings Times to the ef-
feet that the sale Of the Long Distance
Telephone Company of Virginia. to the
Bell Company, or to any one else, are
misleading and incorrect.
The long distance connections consti-
tute {. very small part of our business
and in nowise affect our service, or our
position in this city. and its sale will
have no appreciate effect upon our sue
cess here.
The Bell Company had connection with
the principal cities in the State through
its own long distance lines, and it will
not be benefited in the least by the ac-
QUESTION Of the wires of the Long Dis
lance Company of Virginia.
| am not yet advised, however. that
the Bell Company is the purchaser. We
understand that there is q Mr.. Curtis. of
Wall Street, who has bought the prop
erty, but there are people in Wall Street
who might wish to go into the indepnnd-
ent telephone business. and if so. it would
be to their advantage to carry out in
good faith the long term contracts exist
ing between the Long Distance Company
of Virginia and this and other independ-
ent companies throughout the State
The Bell Company may secure all the
connecting lines now in Virginia. put

lase and from farm to farm, making a

ord) Now. fellow-members, continued.
the speaker, ION just such aiIitsy and
scandalous nretexts are efforts being
made to prejudice this case
AN EXCHANGE.
Judge Anderson then read from testi
mony of negroes to show that q combi-
nation had been effected at Beulahville
whereby some Democratic candidates FOR
one position were to receive votes from
Republicans in exchange for q like vote
for Republican candidates for a different
office He analyzed the returns from THIS
precinct TO show that this was the cause
of the extra votes for Gregory.
Mr.. Moore: do you assert that friends
, of Judge Gregory. voted for a negro can
didate?'
Nl, Anderson: ~ do not assert it. but
it looks mighty like it,
He then said that he thought the Judge
of election ought to have gone on the
stand and testified. but there might have
been a combine, anG, if Mr. Reid had
gone on the stand and exposed those ne
other combine possible.
Mr.. Newton. Didn't Reid swear to
these election returns when he sent them
in. and if SO what was the need OF his
making oath agaia?''
Mr. Anderson, None whatever. He
did swear to them then. Every one of
these negroes testified, that Mr.. Reid
marked their ballots as they asked him
to do 50. was a perfect gentleman anu
always treated them fairly
LEGAL ARGUMENT.
Judge Anderson then went into a de-
tailed investigation OF the evidence and
made an elaborate legal argument to
provo that the contestee was entitled to
the certificate of election. He concluded
with a reference to the Cold Harbor re-
turns and strongly argued that the bal
lots exhibit .ore only a suspicion of
fraud arGrupon suspicion, in the absence
of any proof whatever Of fraud, this ca Sc
could not pc decided.

until Monday at 1890 o'clock.

network OF wires throughout the State,
find that it is to their interest TO con-
meet their different systems, You may
be sure the means will be provided 10
do it. and when that is done, they VIII
see to it that it will be upon such a basis
that the links cannot be cut by interne-
diate parties for their own selfish inter
eStS
The suggestion that this purchase gives
in considerable measure to the Bell in
terests the advantages they endeavored
to gain b. legislative charter three years
ago is manifestly Incorrect. That lesis-
lative charter would have allowed the
Bell Company to come into Richmond
and every other city in the State without
municipal permission, and that was its
purpose. 1t will be seen that the differ
ence is most marked.
Tt is also grievousy Incorrect t. say
that this company is fighting for its very
existence. / is more prosperous than
it has ever been before, and is getting
orders for phones more rapidly than it
can possibly install them, The fact that
it has made, and is making, determined
opposition to what it considers unjust
and improper franchise for the Bell COM
pany does not Indicate that its own ex-
iStence is imperileCi.
Our business in this city will continue
as usual, and when our new system,
which is rapidly nearing completion is
installed. and we can give first-class, up
to-date service, the Bell Company will find
that the purchase of a. few country lines
will scarcely affect the results in a city
the size of Richmond.
Very respectfully,
JNO. C. ROBERTSON.
Pres. of the Richmond Telephone Co.

The use of inhalers and the. application
of saves, washes and powders 10 the
nose and throat to cure catarrh is no
more reasonable than to rub the back
to cure kidney disease. Catarrh is just
as much y blood disease as kidney
trouble or rheumatism and it cannot be
cured by local treatment any more fhan
they can be.
To cure catarrh, whether in the head,
throat or stomach an internal antsep-
tic treatment is necessary to drive the
catarrhal poison out OF the blood ana
system and the new catarrh cure is de-
signed on this plan anu the remarkable
success of Stuart's Catarrh Tablets is

HOT AFTER JOHNSON.
He was severe in his structures upon
Rev. Harvey g.. Johnson, the y colored
preacher, who was Mr.. Treats leader
there, ana who had managed that gentle
mans fight through the church.
Having eNcoriated Johnson, whose tes-
tinony, he said was weak 1iimSy and
doubtful at best, the speaker wanted to
know if the convention was prepared Upon
This class OF testimony to overthrow an
election which had been regularly and le-
gaily held
Mr. Carter met the charge that Judge
Reed had not been put on the stand to
refutc charges of fraud at his precinct
by declaring that what Reed would have
testified to was clearly proven by Harvey
3. Johnson's letter and by Mr.. Treat S
own witnesses.
In reply to a question from Mr. Pollard
Mr.. Carter said: My friend I did not
count you on the other side l had count
ed YOU about half and half" Great
laughter.1 Are YOU too, an advocate OF
the higher law?'
tAfr Pollard has introduced a minority
rsport, declaring that neither Treat nor
Gregory are entitled to seats.)
The speaker asserted that Harvey. john
son, the colored Baptist deacon. who pre-
sided over the election at Bulahvilles and
presided at the political funeral where
the baked meats We're spread. had cleared
the atmosphere when he testified under
oath that he did not know for whom his
flock voted
WOULD HAVE SAID. so.
Had they voted for Treat he would UNI
hesitatingly have said so.I
Had it not been for the Walton law
Harvey Johnson would have taken his
congregation by the arm, one by one, and
seen that every individual put his own
consecrated ticket in The box and that
congregation would not have dared vote
any other way than unanimously for
Treat.
Mr.. Gillispie: Have you good opinion
of the Walton law?'
Mr.. Carter: "A great deal letter opinion
of it than ] have of Your case =
