CowardIY Ponnlitss.

Messrs. J. w. Adams and I. T. Rodgers addressed a large audience of Democrats and Populites at Star City last Saturday afternoon. The Populites also had an appointment to speak Saturday night at York town, at which a division of time was offered to the representatives of any other party. In response to the Democrats of Lincoln county Messrs
 Adams and Rodgers agreed to meet the Populites in joint debate at Yorktown. They drove over to that place and were the guests of Mir. Mcintyre. The appointed time for the speaking arrived, but the Popu- lite speakers failed to put in an appear ance. The crowd begun to grow in- patient. Directly messenger from the Populites arrived and held a hur- ried consultation with a number of Republicans. Gradually the crowd began to diminish and in half-hour had completely vanished, with the exception of about twenty-five Dem ocrats. But it did not take the Democrats long to catch on" to the sneaking and cowardly methods 0 the POpulites who were evidently afraid to meet the opposition in a joint discussion. It was evident that they were sneaking away to some other place of meeting. Several Democrats mounted their horses to hunt up the place of meeting. and in about an hour the Popnlites and Republicans were found assembled in negro church Il mile and half from Yorktown The Democratic speakers were notified and followed. When the Democrats arrived. upon the scene there was eonsterna ton among the Populites. Another hur- ried consultation was held by the Populite leaders, but finally divis- ion of time was allowed, and Messrs. Adams and Rodgers poured shot and shell into the camp of the enemy for an hour. The fallacies of the Peoples party were thoroughly ex posed and the Populites given a thorough clubbing. At midnight the meeting adjourned with great en- thnsiasm among the Democrats.
