claims presented by the Republicans why
the state government of Virginia In this
election should be turned over to Their

would not reply TO the many reckless
statements and extravagant claims made
by Colonel Slemp, the present boss OF

would confine his criticism to those who
we're more accurate and conservative in
their declarations. He said that Colonel

aptly been described as a man who
starts his mouth working and then goes
off and leaves it, Under such circtiln-
stances. he said. he did not think it wns

who was loudly cheered and presented
with flowers. After receiving the per-

happily at the warm welcome accorded
him. II was remarked that the gener-
ais hair was turned quite white.
In the reception room, Gen. Bogdano-
witch welcomed Gen, St0essel, He re-
ferred 10 the internal troubles say
