Mr.. Perkins. a Kansas member Of Congress,
made republican speech here a few evenings
ago. think it Is the only political speech that
has been made here during the canvass.

probably get the nearly fnot the fully solid vote
oi the republican party here. His speech de-
liyered at Abingdon as the opening one of the

charge Of being in favor Of white mans
government" and of giving the cold shoulder
to the colored voters. the speech is being cir
cuiated extensively in pamphlet form.
