AticnttNely To the speeches.
GLEN MORE. VA, oct 10. via. HOW
ARDSVILLE, VA, oct, l0-Special.-
Notwithstanding the cold. raw weather,
crowd OF not less than three hundred peo-
pie assembled ut Glen More to-day TO
listen 10 the sound-money gospel and TO
partake of a barbecue provided BY the
Sound Money League Of Buckingham.
Mr.. j. C.. Sengor OF Arvonia, hrst ad-
dressed the crowd and made an able and
effective argument I'm favor OF the gold
standard. lie clearly demonstrated thai
the power OF the government couid nos
nut an extra value Of iorty-seNen cents
on an ounce OF silver and that the ques-
tion of value was determined by the
law of supply and demand. Silver lac
claimed. was commercial commodity
tnd TO be dealt with as tobacco or wheat
The speaker claimed that a parity be-
tween gold and silver could not be main
tained as the relative cost Of production
was constantly changing and every eX-
periment to establish and maintain
parity between the two metals had been
disastrous failures.
His speech was directed 10 the labor
ers and farmers and from the evident sim
cerity Of their demonstration. they were
clearly impressed with the fact that ruiz
would befau them were they paid for
their work and produce with deprecated
dollars.
YOUNG BUT ABLE.
Mr.. songer was followed by ar. Ran
dolph Williams, Of Richmond, who made
"a conservative and dgnincd address. de-
ploring the efforts OF Bryan and his fol-
lowers to array the masses against the
classes, as un-Amorican and un-Demo-
cratic and to be condemned by all pa
irotic men.
lie spoke IN terms OF strong commenda-
| ton Of Mr.. Clovcland's course in suppress
sing the Chicago riots and declared that
Altgeld and his kind. who remained i'm
passive during this distressing period
were now the leaders Of the Bryan De-
mocracy.
Although the speaker IS a young man.
his utteranccs proved him man OF
| thought and ability.
JOHNNY GET YOUR GUN.
Mr.. Hobhouse patteson. son OF Cap
! tain Camm Petteson. desired n division of
time at this iuncture which was gladly
| acceded 20 him.
His speech was the same old arraign-
mont Of the masses against tho classes.
| This IS all that can be said for IT, II
the course Of his remarks he said, we
| will have free silver II we have TO get II
~ the rnuzzle Of gun" The crowd
received this treat good-naturcdly doubt
| less attributing it TO his youth ana H.
| experience. r.
D. Bruins. OF New Orleans. and Mr. y. =
| Gov. of Richmond who literally de-
molished the arguments OF Mr.. Patteaon
! ebov-inc- nj once and conclusively tha-
! tbe interest Of the working people wer-
| aenaudont upon the employment iur-
niehod them By the amluent capital whicA
was comparatively useless without iaooF
and labor unproductive and unproitaple
without capital.
YOUTHFUL ORATORS.
All Of the speakers except Mt Senger
are younr men. but they reflected credit
upon the enlightened age in wnicn we
live and are able exponcnts Of the doc
trines OF tho National Democracy. \
Good many ladies' were present and they
| iolned heartily in the cheers wnich were
| accorded the soundmoney cause
| The hoodlum element was to some eN-
toni I'm evidence. but nothing worthy or
severe condemnation occurred.
