Hon. J. f. Person,
Jarret.s, Va:
DEAR SR-Your letter dated today,
offering to withdraw as the regular nom
inee of the Democratic party, was duly
received.
This has thoroughly convinced me
that you intend TO do what is right and
honorable by me, and by your people,
and decline to allow you TO withdraw
in my favor. as you have 80 generously
offered to do; but insist that you con-
tinue in the race, and Will do ali in
my power to elect you, and urge my
friends 20 give you their support.
l regret very much that a misunder-
standing should have caused us to pub
lish such severe communications about
each other, but we will bury that part of
the past aud be restored to the friend
ship OF our boyhood days. Wishing you
success in your campaign, am,
Very truly your friend.

THE Baltimore Sun, like several
other papers of late, and periodically
during the last thirty years, has been
duped over the genuineness of that
Ulster Gazette of January 4th, 1900,
announcing the death CT George
Washington. Many years ago gen.
ulne copy of the Gazette of that
date was discovered, and some enter.
prislng publisher put up fac-simile
form, printing therefrom thousands
OF copies which were spread broadcast
over the land and sold at paving
figures. Ever and anon one of these
counterfeits turns up. We have heard
ofseveral of them.

WE DON'T anticipate any trouble
IN the reelection of the Democratic
clerks in Lancaster, Northumberland
and Westmoreland, as they have no
opposition; and there should be but
little trouble in rejecting Mr.. Rains,
of Richmond county. in the face of
opposition from a popular man.
The Republicans are boasting that
they will carry Richmond county for
all the State officers, for Legislature
andfor county clerk, but surely they
are over sanguine. Richmond county
has been going Democratic and we
believe the leaders of the county will
see that she does SO this time.

The co-called Hall of Fame at New
York University is in fair way to be.
come laughing stock. Edgar Poe,
Patrick Henry. John G. Calhoun and
Andrew Jackson were made to stand
aside to admit into its portals Maria
Mitchell, Mary Lyon and Emma Willard
Evidently the managers of the Hall OF
Fame don't know what the word immor.
tally means.-Exchange.
Which tempts us to punning:
When are immortals not immortal :
Dead easy. When news of their
death is tardy in reaching New York.
Patrick Henry and Edgar Allen Poe
are still alive, in one sense, to that
New York Hall of Fame clique; in
another and truer sense the world
still thinks them living.

CONTRACTORS ARE CHANGED.
Work Is Delayed at California End of
Western Pacific.

Considerable speculation has been
created in Marysville. Cal, by the sud
den and unexpected discOntinuance of
the work on the Western Pacific grade
near that town. The Pacific Coast
Construction company was given the
contract for the grading along the two
far western divisions from Oroville to
Oakland and has been doing the grad
ing near Marysville. A large number
OF teams and men have been employed
in the work and everything seemed to
be progressing nicely; in fact advertise
ments had just been posted by the Con-
struction company calling for more
men and teams. Al this served 10
make the sudden breaking up of the
camps and stopping Of the work come
as a surprise.
The superintendent of the cOnstruc-
ton company ana other officials would
make no statements nor give any rea-
son for the work being called off. Many
reasons have been offered in eXplana-
ton. but they lack official confirmation
one rumOr has il that the Western Pa
( CHIC has secured the branch road OF the
Southern Pacific from AlaTysville tc

feet that the company has found the
