Louisburg Herald: Mr.. Funston
has been busy since the adjournment
of Congress, going over the second
district, speaking every day and some
times twice q day. Mr.. Funston is q
forcible speaker, and is making votes
wherever he speaks. His Congress
sional experience is of great assistance
in meeting the opposition which il
brought to bear this fall. We have
talked with several who heard him at
New Lancaster and Psola, and they
all state that he made good, plain,
common sense speeches. There is not

ED. REGISTER: The Republicans
of Salem held meeting last Thursday
night the 23d inst. and we think it
well worthy of special mention.
Capt. II. A. Ewing was the orator
of the occasion. If there were any
Republicans that were in doubt as to
Mr.. Ewing's capacity to fill the Office
of attorney for this county their doubts
were surely removed by the business,
logical and scholarly way the Captain
handled the political issues of the
present campaign. The arguments
presented to the audience in favor of
Republican principles were simply un-
apswerable. He spoke for an hour
and q half and seemed to be right at
home and I'm the best of humor. The
speech was one Of the soundest, most
reasonable historical and interesting
that we have listened to this fall and
we have heard several. 1t was a
speech that did the Repu ublican cause
a great deal of good, for 1t was full of
common sense and information. He
explained just what this government
was, its workings and the peoples
duty to the government. His speech
wifi help to keep the Republicans in
line down this way and the large
number of ladies and school children
present were well pleased and were
glad that they were there to hear the
right aud wrong sides of this govern
ment explained, and how to right the
wrong by still voting for Republican
principles.
