& Slr,-The first President to visit Rich

Lincoln, for the war virtually ended with
the surrender of Richmond.
President Hayes. according to this con-
sideration, was not therefore. the first
post-belum visitor. 'since them Prcsi-
dent Cleveland and General Harrison were
guests OF the city,"
President Harrison was as near Rich
mond as City Point, and several of Its
foremost citizens, as Mr. John I. Branch,
and Others, went TO that point in a hur-

The hurriedly formed party Of invita-

take supper In Richmond, but he receiy-

the score OF business pressure. or said
that 1t was not convenient, and the party
returned the same night.

the test oath because of his service
to the Confcdaracy man whose char.
nctcr is above rcproach. We pass over
this part OF his circular with the remark
that It has always been considered COW
ardlS In Virginia to attack a gentleman
whose official obligations restrain him
from calling his assailHrt to account
Chairman Slemp says that Republic
canism is not satisfied with thirty
three per cent. franchise. Quito so.
Rcpublicansm wants to enlarge the sur
frasc by restoring the ballot to It's
faithful allies White men know that
without word from him and that is
why they will take no chances with Re
publcanism In this state. He had better
left that unsaid.
Finally Chairman Slen,p says the
Democratic party is a party "of the
past But the Republican party is a
party with a past" and virginians re-
member II only too well. II is the party
Of reconstruction, and 1t will not be en-
trusted with the affairs of this State.
1t is the party which brought war and
desolation and humiliation upon the
South, and the white men of Virginia
have not forgotten. He complains that
the Democratic party has taken the bal
lot away from Ignorant negroes We
complain that the Republican party took
the ballot away from the best white
men in the South and gave 1t to the
poor, ignorant creatures who were just
emerging from slavery.
The less you say about the record of
your party, Chairman Slcnlp, the better
1t will be for YOU and for the party you
represent. In vain do YOU plead, for the
new Republican party; In vain dc, you
plead for n new" virginia. 1t is tho
