Bolton, June 26.-General J. B. Weaver
spoke here to-day to large and apprecia'
tive audience. His speech was spicy and
full of wit, and he almost completely
worsted his honorable opponent, ID. q. Gid
dings, of Brennan, who proved not the
man for the occasion, being SLOW and
weghty, while General Weaver is quick-a
fine speaker, and though he did not confine
himsefi,to the issue, yet there is enough
truth in the charges he made against the
democratic party to awaken that party to
their interest and prompt Them 10 action
and to do their duty.
