Col. Hubbard Speaks at Mt. Sidney.

Mt. Sidney, Va. Sept. 26.-Colonel
K. L. HUBBARD, the Republican candi-
date for Congress, addressed the sover-
eigns of Mt. Sidney On Saturday night,
and a good sprinkling of Democrats
was in the crowd. Bro. Hackman in
PRODUCED him, and endeavored to make
the Impression that he was for him
tooth and toe-nail, but it was easy to
see that, though he took his medicine
like little man, it tasted bitter.
Col. HUBBARD made good impression
at first, but the way he threshed over
old straw and raked up dead issues was
caution. He reminded US of our old
friend, E. l.. HOuff, who always goes
back to 1914 in order to get good run
ming start. Col HUBBARD only went
back to 1888, but he seemed to think
that he was again fighting the Demo-
Gratis as a Readj ulster, and was better
posted on dead issues than live ones.
When he touched the burning questions
OF finance and mal-administration of
the War Department he was very
tlmid. He gave the free silver" cause
passing kick, terming it nonsense, "
made good many miS-Statements as to
the quantity of gold now in circulation,
and rested his argument for election
upon the plea that it would be foolish
for the people to take the House away
from the Republicans while they held
the Senate and the President, declaring
that England had better and freer
form of government than the United
States, which was news to most of his
audience. The Colonel was silent on
the question of Alger and the horse
doctor he sent to the volunteer camps
to physlc the troops, contending that
Mckinley and Alger needed no defense
from him. l do not think the Colonel
made many votes. ,b
But, like all we'll regulated feasts, the
best came last. Mr.. r. R. Fauutleroy,
one of the F. F. Vs.-according to his
own accOunt-put himself forward as
sample of the young Republicanism of
Virginia." The Democrats seemed to
like the sample better than the Repub-
Leans. This young gentleman, who
boasts that he tore his pants at New
Hope, treated the Mt. Sidney folks to |
an address that would have made |
Daniel Webster blush, and showed such
wonderful knowledge of dictionary and |
The use big words can be put to (but |

1t is reported this morning that the |
friends of Col, Hubbard met in confer
'nce Saturday night, after the meeting,
Ind it was decided to cancel all the ap-
for Mr.. Fauntleroy. We
could not hear the reasons urged, but,
ID, the pity of it, that the eloquence of
lis young voice should be stilled, and
neither the tongue of his body nor the
ongue of his buggy hereafter can be
Useful to his friend, is sad. We had
lOped to have the pleasure of again
tearing him on the issues of the day.

Bank Failure at Clifton Forge.

The Bank of Allegheny at Clifton
Forge closed its doors Saturday and
did not resume business Monday
morning. In financial circles this action
on the part of the bank created no sur
prise, but it did create considerable ex-
citement about Clifton Forge. The
suspension of the bank has been at
tributed to various cause.-the dizziness
of business being the one to which it is
usually attributed, but it is rumored
that one, if not more, of the directors
was a heavy borrower from the bank,
and up to this time had been unable to
make good his obligations. A full dis-
closure of the facts may be sensational.
This bank was organized in 1890 or
1891, during the boom, and was started
principally upon the capital of monied
men of Charlottesville, among whom
were Charles Hartman and w. w.
Flanagan.
