SENATOR DANIELS FINE SPEECH
IN THE COCKADE CITY.
The Impression IL Madc-PIain Lam
gunEe from Mr.. Jnssiter-A Peters,
burger Drowned-Bishop Van De
Nyver's yisit-Notcs.

PETERSBURG. VA. october 3i.-(spe-
cial)-The great speech of Senator Daniel
at the Academy OF Music last night has
been the theme OF praise to-day by all
who heard ii. The Senator's tribute 10
the character and ability and heroism or
William Jennings Bryan and the brilliant
services he is rendering in this campaign,
was thrillingly eloquent and beautiful. In
private conversation Senator Daniel add
ed TO the strength OF this tribute the
positive declaration that in his judgment
Bryan is the greatest man In tile United
States to-day-the greatest orator and the
profoundest thinker OF modern times.
In his introduction OF Major Daniel last
night, Chairman Lassiter said that he
had heard from good authority that there
would be trouble at the polls in this city
on eiection-day He declared that il
trouble should occur, II would not be in
cited or brought about by Democrats.
But there would be no submission TO in
tirnidation or illegal methods. The Demo-
cratic party would be represented at the
polls by men as respectable, as honest
moreover, the Democrats know their
rights and dare maintain them. These
remarks OF Major Lassiter were greeted
with the heartiest applause and approval
The Democrats have the best legal ad-
vice in the city, and the intention Is TO
carry out the law 70 its very letter. The
Boilers, many of whom will vote straight
for Mckinley, are making big claims OF
their strength, and II has been intimated,
II the returns do not verify them, there
will be charges OF fraud and arrests will
follow. However. no one seems to be
scared.
