Piled. "but I riz and fell with them every

own ideas.
Mr.. Hemphill was literally applauded At
the conclusion of his speech. which occu-
pied about an hour in its delivery.
Cyclone Jim Marshall.
As the next speaker. Mr.. Burke said 1t
gave him great pleasure to Introduce
Colonel James Marshall, of the Ninth dis-
trict, moro commonly known as Cyclone
Jim, the Democratic Tiger Of the Noun
tains."
Colonel Marshall explained that he had
not expected to make a speech. but to be an
humble spectator at the meeting and 70
shake by the hand George Wise. who he
was sure was going to be returned to Con-
gress by larger majority than ever. 30
far as his district was concerned they were
going to elect old man John A. Buchanan,
whose only fault lies in his having oald
head. And Paul G. Edmunds over In the
sixth-there is regular cry going up Tor
him from the persimmon trees OF Halifax-
Laughter.
Next. there is gallant O'Ferrall. IThe
mention Of this name evoked the heartiest
and longest continued applause or the en-.
tire eveningl 1t is needless to say he Will
be elected.
In the Eighth district there Is Lee. The
heavens themselves would fall before the
people Of Virginia would fail to uphold
Lee.
Jones is bound to beat Bayley Browne IN
the First district, for the latter Is man
whose style no one likes.
MUST VOTE.
The speaker endeavored to impress upon
his audience that Wise could not be elect
ed by Democrats staying at home and say
ing that he ought to be elected and that
it was unfair that he should have been
turned out. They must vote and see that
their Deighbors do the same. Wise can
win. and it is to the interest
of every person in this old State
that be should. The coming struggle
is to decide whether this Government is to
be continued az it was founded. The
Democrats of this district would be less
than men and less than VirgInians if they
did not resent this slight. His folks up. IN
the mountains always loved Richmond, for
it is their capital city. and the duty or
caring for it should be faithfully executed.
II will take each one of you 10 my
heart" concluded the Tiger, "aDd bid you
good evening"
Mr.. Marshalps address was full of spirit
and well delivered. He made splendid
impression-as he always does upon every
audience he addresses.
The Captain Responds.
Hon. George ID. Wise was called tor with
such persistence that he was compelled to
respond. Before be began TO speak he was
cheered time and again. The Captain was
in his happiest mood, but said it was en-
tirely too late for him TO think of talking
TO his friends. as much rs he would like TO
do so. He had been in every portion OF
his district-for it is his, and the edlct OF
the House of Representatives could not
change it-and the outlook is good.
The Republican party, according TO IT'S
own leaders, is "busted." In this district
il has dwindled down TO Southwark. At
present he did not know If he was TO have
opposition or not. So far be mad been jog
ging along by himself. 1t is lonely but
very pleasant.
Captain Wise thanked his friends who
had so kindly spoken in his behalf, and in
closing expressed the hope that 1t might
be the pleasure of his people to endorse his
| course.
At 1915 the meeting adjourned.
