Democratic speakers to commence. Propo-
sitions 70 divide time were made by the
leaders Of that party, which were 50 man
ifestly unfair as al once 20 cause ther
rejection. A cOunter-propositlon by the
Democrats was made, based upon an
exact equal division, but this, as was eN-
pected. was declined by the Populsts. and
the result was separate meetings. The
audience which attended the Democratic
meeting was most gratifying and en-
couraRine. Mr. Watts led of in a speech
Of three fourths OF an hour which was
clever logical and well delivered, ana
which convinced his hearers that he was
familiar not only with national but state
questions, and that he was fully quaiine1
to represent this people In the legislature.
Judge Staples followed in a two-hours
speech, which. we venture TO say has
never been excelled in this county. Cen
tlemen present from other places insisted
that the judge should visit them and de-
liver the same speech word for word The
eloquent gentleman surprised himself ana
great good must be the result Of his
earnest appeals 90 the people by whom he

candidate for the House OF Delegates

The action Of the committee Of citizens

flee on account Of the riot OF Wednesday

from the stricken city, indicate that the
storm Of passion has spent itself fully
ana that sober second thought has as
sumed sway. The further the investga-
ton before the coroner's jury is proceed
Cd with the more apparent it becomes
that the authorities of Roanoke have
been subjected TO a great deal of unfair
criticism and that the substantial ele-
ment OF the community recognizes that
Mayor Trout and the military could not
have acted otherwise than they did under
the circumstances. Much has been said
