At the Radical meeting at Norfolk, on

The following is Mr.. Hughes position on
the mixed school question, as given by his
authority That he believed that mixed
schools would lie the destruction Of the free
school system, and that no Republican Of
any weight or intelligence would advocate
that system. He never would, for he be.

of political meeting in King George coun

Mr. Daniel came forward amid loud and
continued cheering He said that he was
not present to-day to make a set speech, but
to talk calmly, deliberately and earnestly to
the people Of old King George He had no
doubt of the triumphant election Of the
State ticket, but he said that without Con-
seryative Legislature it would De, indeed, a
barren victory. He earnestly advocated un-
amimity in the Conservative party, and said
