Especial telegram TO the Dispatch.l
LIBERTY, VA, September 27.-To-day
was glorious one for Hancock, English,
and Tucker. Mr.. Flcklin, o; Buckingham,
met Colonel Cameron in discussion before
an immense audience and completely over.
whelmed him and his cause. There was
never such enthusiasm manifested in the
county. The people were wild in their de-
monstrations in favor OF the May ticket and
Tucker. Cameron did all that be could for
his cause, but the tide was against him. lie
was Ingenious, and the fairest man that has
spoken on this side, but more than nine
tenths OF the people were against him. In
his reply he showed that he felt the blows
OF Ficklin.
Mr.. Tucker spoke an hour, making a
great argument, and carried the audience
with him.
Mr.. Frazier showed when he came to re-
ply that the day was lost, and before bis
time expired, because OF some interruption
from outsiders, refused to continue the
discussion.
This will not avail them in this contest.
You may set Bedford down for 1000 ma
jority for the May ticket and Tucker.
A Good Day for the Democracy at
Abingdon.
Especial telegram TO the Dispa;chI
ABINGDON, VA, September 27.-To-day
was field-day for the Democracy here. d..
f. Bailey led off for the Readiusters in all the
usual gush and claptrap Of bis style. Phil.
Mckinney replied in fine speech, which
took splenddly with the crowd. His speech
was able, pointed, and sound, and will have
good effect.
Governor McMulIn spoke next, in the
same old way.
&. f. Trigg then appeared and was re-
ceiyed with immense applause, and walked
into business from the first word. He
scored FuIkelson fore and aft-boldIy az
gressiye and fearlessly pointed, and was ap-
plauded time and again to the echo.
Fulkerson's reply was tame and weak.
Some OF lis own friends thought so. He is
evidently down, after his recent defeat by
Trigg at Bristol.
Trigg's rejoinder was fearful for FuIk-
erson.
The Resdiusters cannot have the face to
claim even good showing, as the crowd
was largely against them AID their speakers
badly worsted. Trig9's chances are bright
ening daily.
A Discussion I'm StauntOn.
Especial telegram TO the Dlspatch.J
STANTON, va, September 27.-ColOnel
Skinner met Captain Paul in discussion
here to-day and completely demolished him.
SINNERS speech was really splendid. His
rejoinder was scsthing and intensely en-
loved by the large c,owd. Paul made his
same speech, but no reply to Skinner, and
had the support OF bis friends, who, how
ever, were in the minority, and showed that
they felt they and their candidate were at a
disadvantage. 1t was another glorious day
for the regulars.
