and Hon. Daniel Trigg addressed large
crowd at Russell court in Lebanon. MIR.
Trigg led of IN speech Of an hour and
quarter. discussing the issues OF the can
vass IN an able and eloquent manner. HIS
tribute TO Mr.. Buchanan was beautiful.
He was followed by Judge Hutton, who
spoke for an hour and half, dwelling
upon the tariff, especially its effect upon
the farmer and mechanic. He severely eX-
corlated the party in power for their sec
tional measures and unjust legislation.
After abiding to the importance of a vic
tory at the approaching election he ex-
horted the Democrats to 90 TO work IN
earnest, canvass from house TO house and
see that every vote was polled, and If this
was done he felt confident of the result.

tically applauded.

Colonel j. NJ. Browning. was present but
did not speak. No division of time was
been req 1Ily accorded by the speakers.
George Taxhigh is an oyster candidate.
Messrs. Hutton and Trlgg treated MIR.
Mills courteOusly, but ventilated his re-
cord thoroughly. Mr.. Hutton stated that
Mills had never voted in Virginia and he
was informed that he voted in Pennsylva-
MIA last year, and that if this was true it
would take the force bill and Federal SUI
pervisors to give him vote in Virginia
this year.
pAUPFR LABOR.
Mr.. Trigg commented upon Blills's
theory of protection 10 American labor,
stating that he might be opposed in theory
TO the importation of pauper labor from
Europe, but practically he was in favor of
it. for he had employed hundreds of
Italian laborers in this district, thereby
displacing American labor.
Russell is safe for a majority of from
three to five hundred.
Messrs. Hutton and Trigg will speak
every day next week III Dickinson, Blu
