Louisa G. IT,. VA. oct. Especial
Notwithstanding the fact that three

bum and give away. The crowd was
immense. but it would bee difficult TO
say whose crowd il was.

sided over by the county silver chairman.
who announced that an arrangement had
been made for a joint discussion between
their speakers and Senator Blair FOR the
Republicans and Mr.. John Hunter Jr.,
for the National Democrats. How
ever. neither Of these two gentlemen We're
present, 50 the joint discussion was non
est.
Mr. Wilcox was the first Democratic
speaker. He made rather conservative
speech Mr.. Willcox naturally endorsed
the Chicago ticket and closed his adj
dress by a lengthy argument i'm favor OF
the income tax The speaker inter
spersed his talk with number Of very
funny tales. and succeeded very we'll in
holding the crowd. The silver Demo-
Gratis expressed themselves as being
highly pleased with Mr.. Wilcox

been packed almost TO sunocation. Mr..
Rixey also stated that II any more pres

could find no fault with him for voting
