Last Mcn6ay.
In view of the giarlng Iniscepresenta-
tions sent out from Stanton t., the Dem
ocratic press in regard to the discussion
on Monday last between Mes,Is. Ynst and
Tucker, we make statement as Jefecting
the views of Democrats and Republicans
with whom we have cOnversed. AS to the
crowd. the white people Ill the Court
House were about evenly divided. and on
The outside there were hundreds of Re
pnhlicans who could not get inside, but
who were satisfied 10 let the Democrats
have the space they would have occupied,
to hear the truth, as proclaimed by the
Republican candidate.
Mr. Yost's speech was confined to
manly and able discussion of the issues Of
| the canvass, rs was stated to us by an in
| tellige1 DemOcrat-'the best speech, -
| be said. II ever heard in that house. y
Mr.. Tucker took up Il half hour of his
| first speech IN reading from the VIRGIN
IAN and referring to the Malone and an
| = d. III
ing to do with the issues before the people.
In this he offended many of his Demo
cratic hearers, and brought together the
Republicans, as they have never been be-
fore. His speech through oui was ram
blirg. disjonted, without force or effect,
and his time hung so heavily on his hands,
that If II had not oeen for the VIRGINIAN' S
editorials coming to his rescue lie could
not have gotten through. Indeed, he did
not exhaust his entire time either in the
first or second spec CHI. as we learn.
| To sum it up. the Republicans have
never had a more encouraging day in
StauntOn, nor have we ever known them
to be better satisfied with the result of a
discussion.
In one of Mr.. fuckers flights of fancy
and he deals more in fancy than in facts
he pretended to quote the battle
charge of Henry V. at Agncourt-Cry.
God for Harry England and st.
| George" But true to his disengenuiness,
he put it Harry. country and St.
George" Mr.. Yost met this egotistic
| 1>xt ,,tf
to the fraud, giving the proper quota
| ton, and turning it on Tucker, as the
representative of English interests in
his advocacy of .sfree trade. with marked
effect upon the audience, as WAS mani
tested by the vociferousg applause which
greeted the happy hit.
To the people who were present this
article Is entirely unnecessary, rs they
know the facts OF the case. 10 the PEG
pie everywhere who have heard the two
gentlemen in joint discussion it is uilne-
cessary 10 say that it is not in Mr.. Tucker
to get the better of Mr.. Yost in a discus
sion. To those who have never heard them
and might be Influenced by the false rep
reservations that have been sent out for
partiZan purposes, this article is intended.
Ii the manifestations Of Monday last
are to be taken as a reflection of public
sentiment throughout the county and dis
trict, Mr.. Tucker might as we'll threw
up the sponge now. Ii it is To be tie
