The Highland Recorder speaking of the
speech Of Harry Tucker at Monterey, Oct.
3D.. says that ''Never, since politics have
been discussed in this county, has speech
been made that had such marked effect and
produced as deep an impression
The Democrats of the Petersburg district
are making things lively. On Friday night
they had a tremendous meeting in Peters
burg addressed by Mr.. Venable, who was
unseated to put in the negro Langston, and
by Harry Tucker.
State Commander Kline of the organiza-
ton known as The Sons of Veterans, in
Missouri, directed the members of the OF
ganization at st. Joseph to drop their
preparations to receive President Harrison,
as his tour was clearly political one, and
the S. of Y. as a non-political organization
should keep their hands off.
The Democratic compaign in the Alex
andria congressional district is warming
up since Chairman Ellyson S visit. The
meetings are numerous and the canvassing
active. The prospects of Frank Hume
lind. DEM seem to have been badly dam
aged by the negro Langston's Washington
speech, in which he said: 1--WE will send
almost a Republican from the Alexandria
district, if not entirely a Republican,
Secretary James G. Blaine is announced
to speak at Canton, Ohio, Saturday after
noon, Oct. 18th. AS this is in Mckinley S
district, and as MI. Blaine says of the
Mckinley bill that sit does not open a
market for another bushel of American
wheat OF another barrel of American bork''
the premier's speech will be an up Hill
affair.
1t is authOritatively denied that express
| ident Hayes in an interview with CORES
pondent of the n. Y. Star denounced the
Mckinley bill.
The so called "Straight out Democrats -
of South Carolina last week held conven-
ton at Columbia and nominated full
State ticket with Judge A. G. Haskell
heading it for Governor. It issues an ad-
dress in which it carefully refrains from
any allusion to the negro vote, and asserts
the prOpriety of independence in voting.
In brief, the movement turns out to be
pretty much what the friends of the Dem
ocratic party in South Carolina feared it
would.
The Democratic County Committee of
Rockbridge has elected J. L. Dunlop
Chairman, and made arrangements for a
canvass in the county. MI. Tucker speaks
at Fairfield tonight
The Progress Alliance. of Fluvanna
county, on the 4th inst, adopted the fol-
lowing preamble and resolutions
Whereas the Farmers Alliance as an Or
ganization has no regular nominee in the field
for Congress in the Tenth district of Virgin
ia; and whereas in the last Congress the Hon.
