Political Points.
PULASKI, VA, July 25.-(Speclal)-
Our people still talk OF the great ere
union." Of the glorious time. and the I'M
bounded hospitality Of beloved Richmond.
The Walker Camp from this place had
singular experience on the day Of the
parade. While waiting on Broad street
for the march TO begin. a number OF
citizens crowded upon the members OF
the camp. Finally orders were given to
clear the street and force all such per-
sons out q the space allowed the camp.
A little boy about years Old dressed in
full soldiers uniform with a tin sword
by his side, fingered with the camp. and
asked permission TO march with the
camp. saying he had stood with them
al the while they were waiting and liked
them better than any other soldiers. The
'Old vets' were enthuscd by this, and
Mr. James y. Caddall, our ex-member
Of the Legislature, a bachelor. moved
that the little fellow be made a member
Of the camp, and a handsome certificate
Of his membership be given him. This
was carried by Il whOOp. resembling a
Confederate yell, and the young soldier
marched during the whole procession
with the camp. In which also marched
men, who as members Of Stonewall
JacksOn's foot-cavalry. had fought from
Manassas 10 Appomattox, and had fought
through the Mexican war with Scott and
Taylor. The little fellow lived IN Rich
mond and had come alone, and Of his
own accord to our camp.
ENTHUSIASTIC OVER BRYAN.
Our people arc enthusiastic over the
Chicago convention, platform, and can
didates. Bryan Is popular beyond degree,
and no Democrat here doubts his success;
in fact, all look forward TO a glorious
victory. Almost everybody in town and
country here is an ardent silverite, but
the handful Of gold-bug Democrats TO
man are supporting the ticket like true
Democrats. Some Of the leading Repubil-
cans have said they VIII support Bryan
and free silver and considerable acces-
si0ns 10 the Democratic ticket VIII be
had from the Republicans. The Popullsts
are all strong for Bryan.
CLUB ORGANIZED.
A Bryan and Sewall Silver Club has
been formed in town. It's initial member
ship was twice as large as any other
Democratic Club ever formed here, and
the enthusiasm was unbounded. Hon.
r.. Moore presided. Oh moti9n Of William
NJ. Perkins. and c. d. Smith, Of the
News-Review. was elected secretary. Mr..
Moore made a stirring speech, and was
followed by Colonel J. Rush Miller, late
candidate Of the Prohibition party for
Governor OF Virginia. Colonel Miller is
an enthusiastic member of the club, and
will stump the State for Bryan and
Sewal. william N. Perkins also spoke
| briefly and earnestly.
Judge r. NJ. Brown has recovered from
his long Illness and is now in his office,
to the delight OF his many friends. The
Judge had a c.ose call, but is as lively
as ever, and ready for forensic tits, in
which he exces. He IS an ardent silver
man, but he deserves no credit for that;
! for all the Democrats, Populsts, Prohi-
bitionists, and some Republicans here are
| silverites in this campaign.
! Judge s. ". Williams is prominently
mentioned for the Democratic nomina-
ton for Congress from this the Ninth
District. He has made an able Circuit
Judge, and is great silverite' and
will make a strong candidate. Inc
probability IS that the Democrats VIII
| eject General J. A. walkers successor IN
| Congress this time by a safe majority.
