LINNEY'S SPEECH.
This writer has heard the ''Bull of
the Brushes" make several speeches,
but his effort Saturday was the weakest
He labored hard but his speech fell
fiat. Many Republicans left the room
shortly after he began speaking. The
Congressman made no direct allusion
to the insurgents. He stated that there
were not enough offices for all the Re
publicans.
He eulogized Mckinley and his ad-
ministration for the victory won dur
ing the recent war with Spain. He
complimented Duke for giving $780,,
900 to Trinity College, but he failed to
tell his hearers that Mr.. Duke is
member of a trust and the money was
made out of the poor farmers. He
also referred to the gift Of Peck, an
other Republican, to the Vance monu
ment fund, but again he omitted to
state that the giver was member of
the great oil trust.
''You may throw me out, J" said Lin
ney, ''but you may not get one who
will watch your interests SO closely as
your humble servant.
Linney rode his ''old hobby fair
elections and ballot box. Not word
was said about ) cent cotton during
his entire speech.
