unsatisfactory, however, as the repair

CUNNI NGHAM AT WARRIOR
Is Greeted by Good Audience and Is Dubbed
Jeffersons Born Orator.

Warrior, April 9.-(SpeciaL)-Dr. r. NJ.
Cunningham, candidate for the state
senate, was greeted by good audience
at this place tonight. He fairly electrified
his hearers and at the close of his speech
a large number gathered around to shake
his hand and congratulate him.
His argument on the financial ques-
ton was so clear and logical that every
one was forced to admit the correctness
of his position.
His speech consumed nearly two hours
and was listened to with marked atten-
ton, and the applause which greeted
him was evidence conclusive that his
audience was with him.
DR.. Cunningham not only aided his
own cause by his speech here, but sowed
seeds for Johnston and the democratic
party that will furnish a. rich harvest for
the cause of good government and honest
money at Saturdays election The peo-
pie here have determined to vote their
sentiments free and unbiased, and the
good work tonight by Jefferson's famed
statesman has gone further to heal old
political differences than anything that
has been said or done since the opening
of the campaign.
Here's health from Warrior for john
ston, Cunningham, free silver and DEM

who carries the county in the primary
election. In fact the primaries elect the

no doubt about the fact that a decided
majority of the organized democrats of
the county favor the nomination of Cap

Johnston will win in the primaries If
anything like a full vote is polled in the
country beats No bad blood has been
aroused here between the friends of the
rival candidates, and nothing worse than
