THE TENNESSEE ORATOR SPEAKS
IN PETERSBURG.
Opens the Campaign In Behalf OF
Bryan and sevall-Mnny Ladies'
Hear Hin'-A Dignified Argument
Great Enthusiasm Aroused.

PETERSBURG. VA September t.
Especial --Hon. Benton McMiliin. Of Ten-
nessee. opened the campaign here to-
night in behalf Of Bryan and Sewall, anc
addressed a magnificent audience at the
Academy OF Music. The hall was crowd
ed almost to suffocation. The orator was
in admirable trim, and his audience tho
roughly enthusiastic, and during the two
hours Mr. McMillin spoke not a seat was
vacated. and all standing room was filed.
Many ladies' graced the occasion, and
several times during his speech Mr.. Nc
Millin was complimented with handsome
bouquets thrown 10 him by fair hands.
These he acknowledged at the close OF his
address i'm a graceful and beautiful tri-
butte to the women OF the South. .
A DIGNIFIED ARGUMENT.
Mr.. McMinins speech was an able and
dignhed argument in favor Of the free
and unlimited coinage of silver and the
election of Bryan and Sewall. The DEM
ocrats, he declared were not fomenting
a revolution I'm this campaign, but were
trying to prevent one by their fight 10
restore the money Of the Constitution.
Never he said, i'm the history OF parties
in this country, until the meeting OF the
Republican convention this year, had there
been any utterance in any platform that
even limited hostility to silver. The world
for five thousand years had made concur
rent use OF gold and silver. Mr.. McMillin
gave a history OF silver as currency,
pointedly discussed the policy OF the Re
publicans and boiling Democrats TO re-
tain gold recommendation, and declared
the ability of the United ststes TO nix
and maintain alone its own currency
This country, he said. had more miles OF
railroad and transported more freishts
than all other countries put together. It's
agricultural and mineral products ex-
ceoded those OF all other countries. IL
produced over one half of the cotton OF
the world. Its canals and rivers carried
more freights than those OF all other
lands combined. 1t produced 81 per cent
Of the manufactures OF the world. and
did 32 per cent. OF the banking business.
These were evidences OF the ability OF the
United States to maintain its currency
without foreign assistance.
PRAISE FOR BRYAN.
Mr.. McMllln spoke of Mr.. Bryan, whom
he knows intimately. as an abb. thought
full eloquent man, without flaw in nis
character. public or private. Mr.. Bryan
was, h said, poor but he would rather
ameliorate the condition OF the people
than be the richest man in .he world. Ha
had the courage 10 reform this govern
ment.
Mr. McMllin was gracefully introduced
by Major +. r. Lassiter. His speech Gre
ated intense enthusiasm, and elected Oft
repeated applause, and at its close No
was given three hearty cheers.

The regular debate OF the Smithdeal
College Literary Society was held last

terested audience.
The question was: Resolved, That
every act of mankind is Influenced by
selfish motives.
Professor Wagner and Mr.. Hunt APP
peared on the affirmative and Professor

the point, and brought out I'm an excellent
manner the arguments pro and con. The
music, consisting of mandolins. guitars,
and violins, contributed much TO the oc-
casion.
The election of officers toward the close
Of the evening resulted as follows Presi-
dent, b. w. Bowman; Vice-President, Z.
