A Democrat from Peytonsburg, Pitt.
sylvania county. passed through tho
gity on ms way TO the
between trains by representative OF
The TimesD Dispatch.
He did not take a very rosy view
of the political situation in Pittsylva-
MIA and Danville from a Democratic
standpoint, and said the method OF
nominating the Legislative ticket by
convention instead Of a primary. which
vast majority OF the people favored.
thusasm In the ranks
dependent Democrats, who had rebelled
and were running respectively for the
Senate and House, were causing tho
anxiety. and that they were going to
give them trouble even II they wern
| not elected.
Major Geo. T. Rison: House, s. II. Will
son, w. n Brown and S. f. Clement,
ell incumbents.
The independent candidate for the
Senate is Mr.. w. II. Wilson. who for
| four years has been chairman of tho
county Board OF Supervisors. It is said
OF the Office has been very satisfactory
to the people. Mr.. Wilson served a
term some years ago in the House.
There is but one independent candi-
date for the House. and he Is Mr.. VIM.
A. Norman, OF Danville.. Mr.. Moor
! man Is said to be especially popular
| ments. and has wide family connec-
ton throughout the country.
Messrs Wilson and Moorman are
making the situation very INTEREST,"
| Ing one, but the party managers say
| their entire ticket will be elected In
November.
Hon. J: II. B'scoe. former member
of the House from Spotsylvania and
the city OF Fredeercksburg was In the
city yesterday. Mr.. Biscoe came down
4 on private business. and will probably
return home to-day.
4 'An expression which seems to have
| landed here from Chicago is very lis
to add that It seems to have become
/ guage that no Virginia gentleman
Should USE"
Thus spoke a well known Richmond
terday. Inquiry on the part. OF the
newspaper man led to the disclosure
of the fact that the Virginia gentleman
toned way of asking man to take a
i drink OF coca-cola. or of soda water.
or OF mint tulep, or to take cigar,
or to join him IN any other enjoyment
| for the time being.
I. The new way of inviting. friend
to "join3 you."' according to the gentle
Dispatch man, is about thus: Come
with me around the corner and I'll buy
you mint julep;" or "Ill buy you q
cosf dli Buy You or ~" S wil buy s,sd for
YOU" is the language that this old
Il Virginia gentleman objects to. Said
anS rsh To MAKE sech brop
osition to another Southern gentleman.
and as for my part, will accept no
ngEer IN h ha Kind
gentleman invites another gentleman
to take a drink Of ANYTHING or a cigar
Or anything any; else, he invites his friend
extending the invitation. Think Of an
old Virginia gentleman talking about
'buylng. yo% drink or, buying you
very language of It.. an insult that I am
told was born In Chicago. I hope no
southern bern gentleman e1e WI eyer again use
