Mr., TUCKER WILL BE REELECTED
How II Looks In the Tenth District to q
Buckingham Man.

NEW STORE. VA, october 24-(Spe-
cial.) -From present appearances Ii is
clear to the minds of most thinking men
that Hon. II. St. G. Tucker will be re-
turned on the 9th Of November to Con-
Gress by, at the least. $500 majority over
Hon. Jacob Yost. His course In the last
Congress Is not only much admired, but
his appearance before the people. by his
wonderful magnetism, has drawn all his
old friends more closely to him, and
has added much to the respect and es-
teen In which he IL held. His presenta-
ton of his views and his opinions is
plain. full. and undisguised. No fam
merry or claptrap in his addresses. they
are clear and at once understood by his
audiences. and are at once taken In.
Equal commenda ton is due 10 his many
coadjutors in the speakers and editors
who have been bold and fearless in his
behalf. The whole district is abiaze with
enthusiasm in his behalf. His opponents
are few, weak. and listless, showing no
force or open activity. They may be
working in the dark with the colored
voters. but II will not avail them when
the ballots are made UP and deposited
I'm the boxes. We all feel and know that
If the Democrats fail TO come out and do
their duty fully in behalf of their prin-
cipes the Republicans Will fasten upon US
the shackles Of tyranous acts for years
to come.

to-day, said:
For long time the department has

moters OF the enterprise to justice, ana
among them are some very prominent
men in political life. These companies
are conducted materially the same az lot

which they charge an initlation-fee OF
about S. Every member also has TO
nav from 81 10 $50 in monthly dues, and
when certain amount OF money gets
into their treasures the companies dis
tribute Il TO the members holding the
proper numbers. The result OF this Is
that only one number In nearly every
hundred gets anything. and the remain
ing members OF course. lose their money.
The companies cannot lose anything
under any circumstances, as they get
the initiation fees and deduct about b
per cent. The company whose officers
were recently convicted In Chicago took

action OF the Post-O Department Is
tending largely to diminish the number.

operated In the West. from whence they
have been driven to the South. Convictions
have been obtained thus far In every
case In which proceedings have been IN

OF the holding of the lines Of power by

JUDGE STAPLeS's GREAT SPEECH.
Prosperity I'm Two Years Under Benefits OF
the Senate Tariff Bill.

ROANOKE VA. october 2i.-(Special)
Judge Waller r. Staples delivered a great
Democratic speech at the Opera House
here tonight TO an immense audience.
He spoke for two hours, and among his
hearers were many ladies. He was in
his best form, and his many telling
points against Republicans and Populists
were cheered 10 the echo. He showed
how the Democratic party had stood be-
tween Republican hate and the South,
and asked those impatient for relief from
the hard times to wait until the Senate
tariff bill had been fairly tested, predict
ing that in two years the country would
be in the enjoyment of great prosperity
under it's benefits. The wild schemes and
the anarchistlc tendencies Of Populism
were unsparingly exposed, and In con-
clusion he urged his hearers to vote FOR
Otey for Congress, Instead Of Rucker or
Hoge. The speech made a fine impress
sion and will add TO the Democratic ma
jority here on the 9th of November.
