APPOMATTOX, c. H.. VA, oct -
Special-Possibly In the history ol 'nis
county there has never been asseHOieu
such laree and enthusiastic crown 40
the one that to-day listened to virginia
peerless orator. Major John W. DANIEL
The weather was almost perfect ana
a lr.c number Of ladies rendered the
occasion additionally attractive. Inc
friends OF Mr. NOst endeaNoTed 10 nave
a jo.ut discussion but aItsr que CON
alteration IL was deemed best not TO
agree ID their proposition, as Daniel
was undoubtedly The drawing card, and
by FAR the majority OF the crowd had
come o. hear him and not Yost. Many
OF our people had never heard Major
Daniel and no one was inclined to have
his tim. divided, so hc spoke inside
the courthouse TO a large and intelligent
small crowd outside, mostly composed
Of utrr'cs.
A l.r4e crowd met the Major at his
stopping place at ll,20 o'clock and ac-
compauiei him to the courthouse. with
many denominations Of admiration.
The speaking began promptly at u
ocI9'n. ne Major being gracefully in
troduCei by County Chairman JoseDh
Button. senator Daniel spoke for two
hours and forty-five minutes and dur
ing the entire time the audience gave
him the closest attention.
THE WORK CF THE TRUSTS.
Among other things he said that more
people owned homes in 1861 than at any
other time In the history Of the coun-
ny. Since then trusts and syndicates,
-naer the patronage of the Republican
party had sbsorbed nearly all the legiti-
mate branches Of business and trade.
The Republicans had squanderod the
money Of the country. In 1894 though
the Democrats had majority only
IN the House, they acted as a brake
anu saved the country over $1,000 00J.
Hoo III
by and Grover Cleveland came back He
found deficit in the treasury. The
Democrats had received the Irishman's
inreHianCe. not @ cent and debts to pay.
in 1880 there was a revenue of $4,000
OJ, but by the Mckinley bill we had
only 100000 and the revenues were
falling off and the Treasury becoming
bankrupt. Cleveland's admiristra ton
had saved 100000 to the country, S2S,-
10000 in pensions
The Democratic party was opposed to
bounies the Republican party was al
ways devsing some system of taxation
by which the people might not see where
they were taxed, so il was with the
bounty. II they were saved expense in
some other and the present tariff on
sugar would not be as great a tax IN
The long run as the bounty.
TARITF REVIEWED.
The Major then reviewed the tariff at
length showing that the present law

Mills or the Morrison bills. and saves
70 the country an immense sum On wool
len goods alone about $lS30O.0OD. The |
complaints about the tardiness Of Con- |
Eress were unjust, for the present bill |
had been passed several months sooner |
than similar one by the Republicans |
Ills mastery arguments for free silver |
made an impression upon his hearers |
lie attempted to show that the passage |
of the act in 1873. demonitizlng silver |
was a fearful mistake. and that ever |
since prices Of products had been de- |
ClninE.
QUESTION or STATE BANKS.
The Senator concluded his speech by |
brief reference to State Banks. Every |
country nearly has a circulation for |
foreign and for home use. and why not |
the United States. We hardly deem IL |
too eXtiavagaut to say that the great |
est enthusiasm prevailed in our time at !
the conclusion of the address. and if ever |
7here was any doubt concerning the |
county's vote this fan, there may be |
none now. II will roll up a big majority |
for Tucker and the result may be ac- |
counted due TO Daniels speech.
