date The Democrats proposed the Joint
discussion, and after some delay the
Republicans agreed, providing for Walk

Walker to close i'm twenty minutes, and
that Joint discussions should be had
throughout the district, with the terms

Walkers effort here to-day was one Of
J1e poorest heard here in years, though
ris followers applauded vigorously at
times. The Republicans Of this county
are hard TO beat on applause at political
meetings. Walker had not learned his
piece" well, and consequently confined
himself closely TO what had been written
by others in criticism OF the tariff bill,
etc.
Major Turner was heartily received.
Though owing to suffering from an
operation, which he has recently under
gone. he was not able TO take up the
entire time allotted him. He, however.
proved himself more than match for
Walker. Major Turner is wei equipped
