spoke here to-day to a full court house,
many populists having assembled to wor-
ship him. His speech was devoted to a
running account of democratic deeds from
his standpoint, and an attack on the Will

frain from voting. Some will vote the
republican ticket in order to secure votes
for the populist candidate for congress-

this county for Fleming, and 1t is believed
he will get a majority, Notwithstanding
the attempted combination of the populist
and republican strength.

GENERAL BUTLER.
He Was the First Presidential Candidate
to Employ a Press Agent.

He Was the First Presidential Candidate
to Employ Press Agent.
General Butler originated the en-
ployment and coined the term of press
agent at political headquarters, re-
marked gentleman who has given
many years to the consideration Of ac-
tive politics. During his campaign for
the presidency ON the labor ticket he
noticed that the representatives Of
the newspapers gave but little atten-
ton to the labor ticket headquarters.
He decided that this should not contin.
ne. Bailey, the circus man, who was a
friend of General Butler, took some in
terest in his campaign, and General
Butler spoke to him Of the neglect Of
the newspapers. DO as we do, replied
Bailey, and hire men to take your stuff
to the papers - we call them press
agents, though you can call them any
thing else.
1.-THE idea was adopted Immediately
and Bailey was asked to spare one of
his press agents for a couple Of months,
which he consented to do, and sent Ma
jor Hugh Coyle, who resides in this city
during the off circus season, to report
to General Butler. Coyle was therefore
tho first political press agent employed
as such. He took hold of the Butler
boom and played it for all twas worth,
and ran the campaign ON regular circus
principles. He had man three or four
days ahead of the general, whose duty
it was to organize Butler clubs in case
there was not any or where the club
was an insignificant affair.
THE clubs were organized on the
principles and in the same way that
armies. villagers and ballets are secured
for theatrical or circus representations
that is, hired for the time they were
occupied in making the parade. The
uniforms, banners, flags, drums. trans
parencies and other paraphernalia of po-
litical clubs were owned by General
Butler, and. like circus tent, were sent
to the city where they were to be used one
or two days in advance. There is hardly
any political organization these days
which does not have press agent, but
there are few of them who will ever
compare with Hugh Coyle. for he com.
bined great experience with intelh-
gence and was manager in every
sense. Washington Star. e
