'And you think then that buttermiIl

man ~ said Foraker as quick as flash.

Foraker added, "Well the Republican
party thinks differently. They believ,
that an Irishman is as good as any Eng

went up as made the very hills about
Stanton resaund. For minute the
whole vast audience was on its feet way
ing hats and yelling like demons. When
partial quiet had been restored, the
speaker turned for Il moment from
his subject and paid an eloquent tribute
to ParIell il his struggle for IRISH liberty
and Irish protection. closing by declaring

money into the Golfers of Great Britain.
After lucid and powerful discussion of
the tariff, Judge Foraker took up the
Blair Educational Bill. explaining it's pro.
visions and the support it had received
from the Republican party in the face OF
the. opposition of the Democrats and
the fatal objection of Mr.. Tucker.

Of the speaker found expression. The
brilliant thrusts he made +; thebraye, manly
way he expressed himself the clearness
and ability with which he presented the
issues, and his power and genuine elo-

throng.
When the applause had partially sub

dress peculiarly felicitous, introduced
HON. PAGE MORRIS,
Of Lynchbmg, one Of the ablest and most
attractive speakers of Virginia. Mr.. Nor
ris discussed principally the State issues,
making clear. concise presentation of
them, and bringing out with a force and
eloquence we have rarely heard equalled
the strong points of his subject. The
crowd cheered him to the echo as point
after point was scored in rapid succession.
Having to leave for Highland the same

rily short, and it would have seemed short
to the audience had it continued for hours,
for rarely did a speaker mere completely
captlvste his hearers or present to them a

Rink there were scarcely three hundrt d
voters present and the speaker was Tabor

The Republicans scored a signal success
on Monday and none knew it better than
the Democrats.
We again invite attention to the adver
tisement Of Messrs Myers & Loving.

attractive daughters.
