Brown and Powell Meet in Debate-W ms
ton Will Go for Bullock.
Addison, Oct. 16.-(Special Correspon-
dence )-Senator ". G.. Brown of Gull
man. representing the Hon. w. I. Bullock,
democratic nominee for congress, and
Mr. Walter Powell Of Pinnacle, Ala, rep
resenting Mr.. Howard, populist nominee,
spoke in Joint debate here yesterday.
Senator Brown made the speech Of his
life. and, although Mr.. Powell is from
Pinnacle, the highest point on Sand
mountain, yet by the time Mr.. Brown
got through with him he was consider
ably below the sea level. deep down in
the valley of humiliation" The audience
was large and attentive. Senator Brown
scored a number of points, the audience
responding with cheers and hurrahs for
Bryan, Sewall and Bullock. He is a fluent
speaker and is one of the strongest
champions of pure democracy in North
Alabama.
This county is almost solid for Bryan
Bullock and free silver. The time has
now come when the Sodom and Gomor-
rah of trusts and monopolies must be
consumed by the fire of the votes and en-
thusiasm Of the people.
Hon. w. l. Bullock will undoubtedly
carry Winston by large majority, and
we feel proud that our free silver demo-
cratic party saw proper to nominate one
who will not only honor the congression-
al halls by his mere presence, but who
will always have at heart the cause of
the people whom he represents.
