Hon. :. G. Watts left this mornipc
for Wayne Court House. where be
WIN speak tomorrow. Gen Watts
made three great speeches In this coun.
ty. On tho card he spoke az Leather
wood, in the lower end Of the county:
on the same evening be had meeting
at this place, and on yesterday nc spoke
at Falls Mil. Al each Of these places
ho was greeted with good crowds, cs-
peciaiiy at Leatherwood, which Is the
stronghold OF the Third party orgaHiza.
ton In the county, where the people
turned out In crest numbers, nutwith
standing The efforts on the part Of the
Third party aud Republican bosses, who
seemed determined 20 keep the IN away
from the meeting.
The same game was tried at Fail
Mil, and tho Third Party candi0Atg.
even went To the extreme OF appoint!ii
q meetiDk az the same hour and on5
tive or three miles distant from Falls
ram, and went around and secretly
notified the Third Partyises 10 come TO
toeir meeting instead of going TO hear
Cen. Watts. But the General is great
IaVorlte IN Braxton, and quite u mum
per OF Third party men broke away
from their dictat0rs and came out To
hear him, Notwithstanding.
The General discussed the tariff
question at considerable length and
made many very effective points. He
showed that the demands OF the Third
party on the tariff are substantially
Identical with those OF the Democratic
platform, and that the true way To ac-
complisn their wishes In that direction
Is TO vote with the party that Is willing
and able to help them.
In speaking OF the force bill he de-
monstrated how utterly powerless the
people vii. DO TO bring about any re.
form, no odds how important or how
much desired, II at this important june
ure they turn their backs on the Demo-
cratic party, their old time friend, true
and tried, and dissipate it's strength by
voting third ticket, thereby rendering
III all the more easy for the Republicans
10 luliy lntrench themselves In all the
branches of the National government.
when they will carry out thcir threat
10 pass the Force bill, and put the cleo
tions under Federal control, after which
the result OF all such elections will be
Just whatever they see at to declare.
Ills speech at each place was received
with he greatest attention and their
good effect was I'm many ways manifest
For instance several third party men
came up and congratulated him, stating
that some of their pretended party
friends and allies had underworld 10
discourage them from coming out 10
hear him, but they had come neyerthe-
iess, were glad OF IT, and were fully
aware OF the folly OF deserving the Dem.
ocratic party on the eve OF such crisis.
and were determined TO turn back be-
fore committing q blunder that might
prove irretrievable.
The people generally are disQusted
with the attempts made by the third
party nominees and the Republicans TO
keep the voters from Wasts' meetings.
and such conduct will have effect TO de-
Ter a great many from endorsing q com
binatlOn which will not allow its adj
herents the privilege Of going out to
hear the discussion Of all sides OF the
questions 10 which they are Interested.
The result OF November's election will
show that Braxton lie as true to the
principles OF Democracy as ever shs
was, and that she votes that way, the
same as she always did.
