Chairman Barnum's collecting trip here
| last week was not success. Indeed go
| small was the sum ho raised that he left
agents to solicit and collect further contr-
| buttons AS most all the federal officehold-
ers mere are republicans, they of course give
| the bulk OF their election money.to republic
can collectors, and the democratic private
citizens here are so cold in their feelings
toward the administration that they give
little or nothing toward its no election.
Representatives Hooker and Allen Of
Mississippi, who spoke at the democratic
| barbecue ut Marshall in the SIN Virginia
district last Saturday, say the crowd there
was large, that everything went OF IN the
most satisfactory manner, and that they
were informed there that The democracy OF
that region was solis ami in excellent
condition, and that full vote would come
out pex; month.

Mr.. Wheeler, OF Alabama, urging the demo.

support of the Mills BILL and to use ell their
efforts to expose the fallaces of the Senate
bill, ard poiat out the injustice and inc.
quality of that bill, and the oppressive bur.
dens it imposes upon the poorer people Of
the country. No business Of any import
