One of the greatest and most glorious
fights ever put up by the Republicans OF
Tazewell county was made last Tuesday
Contrary to all the predictions of the Dem
ocrats. a majority proportionally larger
than that of 1896 was given General Wal

as our judgment that his majority would
be as large as it was in 1896 if the vote in
the county was as large. The returns
show that we were not mistaken as to
public sentiment. Below we give the Oil
cial vote by precincts:

Captain Chittenden will leave with the

If so the location is much more favora-

occupied by her off Santiago where the
bottom was covered with rocks and the
wreckers worked at great disadvantage.
Captain McCalla was selected for the task
because of his great energy and ability for
this particular class of work, and the Off

An Absurd Parallel

It Is heard on many, sides thai the

test with Spain may be long and dread

Is no possible parallel between the two
cases and cites the following as its rea-
acns:
"First-First OF all, the confederates
were Americana. not Spaniards-an Inn.

"Second-Their armies were com.
manded by some Of the very ablest West
Pointers then living, including Lee,
jackson, the two Johnstons. Beauregard,
Longstreet, Stuart and others, soldiers
equal to any that war has ever produ-
ced.
"Third-These Americans stood face
TO face with the union armies from the
very outset. They we're not transported
1000 miles. They fought on their own
ground.
"Foarth They numbered half mil.
