TYLER'S CAMPAIGN.
THE GuBERNAToRIAL NOMINEE
SPEAKS AT DANvILLE.
FINE AUDIENCE GREETS Hin
HIS Remarks Received with Flat
tering Attention-His Appearances
I'm Boydson-An Ovation Accorded
Him-Other Political Meation.

DANvILLE. VA, October l.-tSpeciai)
The Democratic campaign was opened
here tonight with a speech by the guber-
Material nominee, Hon. j. Hoge Tyler.
The speaking took place IN the Academy
of Music. the lower fctr OF which was
entirely occupied, the overflow being
sufficient to fill half Of the gallery seats.
There was a plentiful sprinklIng of
ladies' in the crowd. Major Tyler, wno
had never before SPOKEN In DanyiEe,
was given a cordial greetiHs His adj
dress was heard with fattei'rg atten-
ton. and the demonstrations ef approval
at frequent intervals were snNrtaneous
and liberal. The first 'ecitJa'!op tnc
speaker made was TO the els 2 tbat y
was handicapped In camp Il ming, -
cause the newspaper reports o. his early
speeches informed subsequent audiences
in advance of what he was roing to say.
This modest disclaimer. however. was
not entirely justified by the witty, COM
nonsense address Of an hour ana quar-
ter. during which the speaker reached
several effective oratOrical cltmaxes-
notably, his reference TO the fattertng
popular vote the county gave w. j.
Bryan last fall, and the closing refe-
renee to the history OF the Democracy
OF the past.
A major portion of the address was
devoted to a discussion of present indus
trial conditions, which, the speaker de-
clared, were perhaps harder than any
the country had ever experienced. He
denied that this depression resulted
from voluntary idleness Of the working
classes or from overproduction, and
placed the blame on a restricted cur
rency system.
The banking facilities and methods OF
the present were contrasted with those
prevailing before the war. Up to the
war the farmers were the money lenders
who took one day notes and allowed
the borrower to pay at leisure. Then the
basis of credit was real estate, while
now. collateral in the form OF bonds and
stocks was the basis. The present sys-
tenn distributed capital unequally, he
said. and by IL the masses were denied
the use Of the nations capital in the
transaction Of everyday business affairs.
With reference to prosperity. the speaker
admitted it's existence in scattered locali-
ties. but could not honestly say that II
was even dawning on the country in
general.
State issues were not discussed, the
subject being dismissed with a half
dozen sentences.

cratic candidate for Governor. has been
the honored guest Of the hospitality of
/ fhis town. Yesterday, I'm the courthouse
at the noon hour, Major Tyler addressed
n large and enthusiastic audience of
town and country people. in which many
ladies were In evidence. The distin-
| guished speaker was never more humor-
Gus. and no audience was ever more re-
| sponsive.
Major Tyler discussed the tariff, and
| alluded TO the States free-school system,
which compared favorably with the best
in the Union The Dingley tariff bill
was sharply contrasted with the Wilson
tariff measure, which the speaker showed
was a superior financial system to the
Dingley bill. ami was the very best tariff
measure that the American people have
had for many years.

When the standard-bearer of the States

The opponents of Democracy, said the

have not.
Commenting on the financial question,
Major TYLER said that time was when the
farmers were the money lenders, but,
though he did not know about the situa-
ton in Mecklenburg. in his own county,
ar least one could not borrow from the
farmers now enough money to bury the
cato that die. Money should be so ills
trihuted that all the people might be
