Tucker and YOst Have a Tilt and the
Former Scores n Victory.

Correspondence Of the Lynchburg News.
AMHERST G. H., September 17.-Not
withstanding the inclemency of the morn
ing quite crowd was at court to-day
Harry st. George Tucker, Democratic
nominee for Congress of the Tenth district,
and his Republican opponent, Hon. Jacof
Yost had joint discussion In the court.
house to packed audience, and to put il
mildly, Harry Tucker gave Jacob the most
genteel drubbing one politician ever got
from another in joint debate. Mr.. Yost is
gentleman of comfortable talent, and
makes pretty fair speech, but that he is
far from being match for Tucker on the
stump is the unanimous verdict oe these
who heard them. A good many go so far
as to say that Harry excels his father. |
am not willing to admit this much, but it
is certain he is close after the old man.
At the conclusion of the debate Captain
Thomas Whitehead was called to the stand
and made ringing speech brim full of
sound and telling logic. 1t has been long
while since Ihave seen more animation in
the Democratic ranks than now, and all
the signs point to big Democratic major
ity in November for Cleveland, Thurman,
and Tucker.
The incessant rains of late have about
destroyed the fodder crop, and greatly in.
jured the tobacco crop, and if it continues
much longer the loss will be quite serious.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. IN LONDON. This
play was rendered in the Opera-house last
night and will be repeated tonight, or this
play the Chicago Herald says
tAlone in London is one of the most sue
cesful II not the only we'll wrought play from
the perhaps too prolific pen of Robert Buchan-
an, the weIl-known English novelist and ten
tative play wright. 1t was presented before a
large audience last night. The stage setting
is OF especial novelty and beauty, the famous
lock scene showing an ingenious adaptation OF
mechanical means to produce the illusion of a
flowing weir upon the stage. This effective
triumph of stage art was received with the
rapturous plaudits of the house.
'Alone in Lendon' appears likely to prove
the most successful of all The plays from the re-
pertory of Buchanan introduced on the Anerf-
can stage, and bids fair to have more than the
usual popular run accorded to plays OF Its
character.

Moving down the battles way

They were girt about with cheers.

Breaks above that line OF gray

All our love, and all our prayers;
What of them? How do they fare,
