| The hearty welcome accorded Mr..
| Blair Lee, the Democratic nominee for
Congress, is certainly an indication
! that We never had a more acceptable
candidate before the people. The quiet,
gentlemanly manner in which he has
meet our people, the able speeches he
has delivered and his familiarity with
the needs and wants of the people
make him the very man for the place
at this important time. Let us see that
we make no mistake in this matter; to
Republicans as well as Democrats the
election of Mr.. Lee is more than nee
essary. The meetings, started with
the grand demonstration at the Opera
House in Frederick, on Thursday night,
at which Mr.. Lee spoke, and more
than satisfied critical audience. AT
this meeting Hon. Francis Newlands,
of Nevada, made one of the most in
structive and interesting speeches our
pc Dple have listened to fof some time.
Then, we had Mr.. Baldwin, the Audi
no man in this country is better equip
ped or more able to discuss the great
monetary question. Ex-Judge Flem-
ing had but few moments left him,
but in his mastery style and earnest
manner lie soon captivated the crowd,
as late as it was, and caused all to re-
! greet they had not the pleasure of hear
ing him on the great question. Alto

cess. On Friday Mr.. Lee was joined

the interest among the people in this
question that a splendid crowd greeted
the speakers. Mr.. Devine is a calm,
quiet, but convincing speaker and is
thorough master of the subject. The

where he spent the night aud met
number of the townsville people on
Saturday morning; then visited the
Mt. Pleasant picnic, where he spoke
and again captured the people. A
