Frank -. Anderson in Stafford.

SrAFFoRD, C. q Va, April 15.-Mr. F.
E, Anderson talked to-day to the citizens Of
Stafford on the issues of the hour This is
the first political gun fired by the bril- mt
young Alexandrian. He was introduced ~
Judge Ashton, to whose character he paid r
glowing tribute in graceful acknowledl ment
of the courtesy. His remarks were clear and
to the point. The people Of the Eighth Con-
gressional district will know exactly where
he stands on the tariff question. and on the
vexed currency question, as he left no room fl x
doubt as to his position. He presented meth
posing views, that the democratic party
might see victory crown its efforts to restore
confidence and prosperity once moro to our
troubled country. The close Of his speech
was passionate appeal to the men of Stafford,
as patriot speaking to his fellow patriots, to
join themselves to their other brethren
throughout the land, in doing battle for the
sacred cause of justice and freedom. "Close
up your ranks!" he said. "Rally on the col
ors Charge the opposing forces who would
make slaves of freemen; and those forces
dismayed, broken, routed-will yield the field
to the champions of justice and of truth! And
then, when the victory has been won, money
will cease to be greater than man; fellow-citi-
zens will no longer be arrayed in opposing
classes of oppressors and oppressed; hatred
will give place to love, and the great demo.
cratic party, arising out Of the ashes of her
present humiliation, chastened and purified
by temporary defeat will resume once more
those lofty duties to which her destiny has
called her as the incarnation of liberty en-
tightening the world"

who was in the SSth year of her age, was
the daughter of Joseph and Mary
Myers and the widow of Captain
Robert Shinn. Mrs. Shinn had been
indisposed for the past week or two,

afforded no hope to her relatives and
friends that she would recover. When
the yellow fever visited this city many

most active in ministering to those
stricken by the malady. She was noted
for many other acts of kindness toward
the poor and distressed.
