here tonight, had been absent upon inn

ana while there had contracted severe
lung trouble he did not fulfill his en-
sasement Mr. Smith telegraphed the
county chairman of tho Sound Money
democrats TO that effect, but the chair
man had already received that informa-
itn from 9nother source, and Had pro-
weed another speaker for the occasion
IN tho person OF Judge A. u. cole, Of
Marion, Va. Judge Cole, after being in
triduced by Dir. Hugh *. Caldwell. pre-
faced his remarks BY defining the proper
use OF certain terms which have been
much misused by the advocates of free
silver during The present campaign.
Among other things. he took much pains
10 show that the term god standard"
meant in effect bimetallism. and not as
some understand IN. the exclusive use Of
gold as "A circulating medium.
Judge Cole made an able and effective
argument Of tho cause, making many
good points, and surprising the free silver
men by showing that the United States
had had the free and unlimited coinage of
both gold anC silver from 1872 TO 1894. and
that the act had 20 be repealed on ac-
count Of its disastrous effect.
Although the speaking was rather i'm
promptu. the attendance was good and
Thoroughly good order was preserved.
