The Negro Vote.

GATE CRY, Va, Oct. 80, 1891.
Editor Post:
don't know why it is, but
negroes are Republicans all the world
over. The Democrats are simply
wasting their breath in talking to
them. They are Republicans, we
suppose. because they have no better
sense, but however that may be.
for one will hereafte. let them
alone.
The Democratic party is the white
mans party. 1t don't believe in
hugging negroes nor any such tactics
as are adopted by the Republicans in
the south. That is just what it is
and were the Democratic party to
adopt them I would be found
advocating other doctrine. The man
who hugs and fouls with the negro is
no better than he.

SCOTT ALL RIGHT.
Maynor and FaW Address the Clti

Maynor and Faw Address the Citi-
zens.
Last Saturday night was great nIShl
for Democracy. The witty Jack Faw, OF
Bristol and the eloquent Maynor, of this
place, were the speakers, and right well
did they acquit themselves.
Mr.. Geo. A. Ewing, the we'll known
lawyer Of Gate City, introduced Mr.. Faw'
who at once proceeded to discuss the H.
sues involved in the campaign in his IN
inimitabc manner. Mr.Faw discussed the
silver question in all its phases. tie then
took up the tariff and showed the lnIqul-
ties of protection, and how q few manu-
racturers had been robbing the working
man of his hard earned money. Mr.. Fa1
kept the crowd convulsed with laughter
and closed his speech amidst tremendous
applause.
Mr.. Geo. Ewing then introduced Mr.
Maynor. Mr. Manor said that he was
glad of the honor Of speaking at the home
of Judge II. s. H. Morrison, the next Con-
gresham from the 9th Congressional
District. Mr.. Maynor discussed the is
sues involved in the campaign in an elo-
quent manner and made a good impress
sion. lie was frequently interrupted with
great applause. When he had concluded
he was the recipient of several large
bouquets Of flowers, presented by Mrs.
Judge Morrison, Mrs }. NJ. johnson and
Miss Kate Ayers. Joe. was greatly
pleased, as was also Mr.. Faw, with the
reception rendered them.
The Republicans had a few whites and
some negroes in one Of the up stairs rooms,
about half drunk, who were addressed by
the President of the club, Mr.. Jonathan
Reed, and we are Informed that Sum Tur-
ner (colored) also spoke. However that
may be, they acted disgracefully 1T has
had the effect of arousing all the Demo-
Gratis to concerted action.
Mr. Naynor left on the early morning
train for Big Stone Gap, and Mr.. Faw left
for Bristal that afternoon. Next
Saturday night the Democrats will have a
grand supper, after which Judge Morrison
and other speakers will address the pco-
Pile. Old Scott is all right and will roll
up Il majority of 500 for Morrison.

NJ. 10. Maynor was at Bluefieid
last week and says the Republicans
had prepared for a big JUDI Ice ana !,
to hear I.llins speak. They 'aia
they were willing to divide time wltil
Elkins equal, but with no local talent.
Unexpectedly, Daniel arrived on a
late train and then the Republicans
refused to divide time with them, but
he opened up at another hall and all
of the white people left Elkins to hear
true Democracy.

gentlemen, here am, take HE, do with
me what you will, but for heavens sake

has been in our county this week and
we are glad to report that he has
done some very effective speaking
He has had very good crowds and
every one we'll pleased with his man
ner of argument. Mr.. Maynor had
ne opponent, except at his first APP
pointment, Greenwood, Capt. d. 5.
Hale flew at him in about an hours
speech, but, to his sorrow, he found
that it took Maynor only about ten
minutes to knock the "stulfin out
of him, so he went home and said no
more.
Well, Mr.. Posr, we are pleased to
write you that Democracy is all
ablaze in Scott county, and you may
expect to report ere long that Hon.

at least 800. The Democrats of
Scott county are proud to have an
opportunity to cast their ballot for
so pure, noble, upright Christian
gentleman; a man in whom every one
places the most explicit confidence.
Even the Republicans can say, or do
say, nothing against him, only that
he is too good a man to advocate
principles that don t accord with their
views. CITIZEN.

Toy Held for Court.

William Il. Gibney, u salesman EN-
ployed by Quigley & Mullin, went be-
fore Justice OF the Peace McWhorter
Tuesday week and had u warrant issued
for the arrest of james Fey, who lives
in the Highlands. Gibney charges Toy
with assault and battery. He made aii.
davit that he was passing the house OF
the defendant when a woman's cry OF
murder attracted his attention. Gibney
says he looked through II window and
saw Toy beating his wife. He COM
manded him TO desist and threatened to
call an officer and have him arrested if
he did not cease his brutality. Toy re-
leased the woman and running out of
the house, landed heavy blow on
Gibncy's cheek under the eye. Hence
the issuing of the warrant.
Justice McWhorter says he first gave
the warrant to Constable Began, who
declined to serve it owing to the fact
that Toy was a relative. Then the jus
tice turned it over to Constable Hur-
lock, who went to the house on Friday,
but Toy resisted and he was unable to
take him in custody. The sheriff re:
fused to execute the writ on the ground
that he did not get it first. Then Gibney
applied to Deputy Attorney-General
Branch Ii. Giles. That official at once
placed it in the hands of State Detec-
tives Witsil and McVey, with instruc-
ton to do their duty.
The detectives found Toy on du Points
Banks on Monday. He accompanied
the officers to Justice Whorters office
where he gave bail for hearing.
Toy was given a hearing before Jus.
tice McWhorter Tuesday evening, and
held in $500 bail for court.
