In 1883 he was nominated as one OF the Demo-

the Lid LIVth and LVth Congresses In 1896
his plurality was about 5000 smaller than in
1890. but his vote was LOGO larger than in the
former year. The Republican vote of the district
had nearly doubled in the six years apd there

severity and perfervid rhetorc) was committed
Bailey was ten years Did, and had not yet mas

was not due to lack Of opportunity, parental ad-

He had wasted much time, and he had TO begin
at the bottom and recite his lessons with boys

During the next four years young Bailey must

at the University OF Virginia. He then entered
