Meetings.

wYTHEvILLE. VA, october 25.-(Spe-
cial. )-Hon. Joseph w. Bailey, of Texas,
the Democratic leader in Congress, and
Congressman Jake Yost, Of stanton, ar
rived in Wytheville this morning on the
train from the south. Though this was
an off day, so to speak, there was here
an unusually large crowd OF the leading
farmers and businessmen generally, not
only from this, but adjoining counties,
attracted to hear Mr.. Bailey. Seeing that
the crowd was largely Democratic, the
Republicans asked for joint discussion,
a thing which General Walker has been
running from throughout this entire
campaign. But the Democrats promptly
and respectfully declined, as they did
not propose to draw a crowd with
known national leader TO be addressed
by one Of local fame.
Mr.. Yost spoke in Sections Hall to
small mixed crowd, gathered after days
OF advertising and brush-beating, aided
to-day by the local brass band
The Democratic speaking took place In
the Opera-HOuse, which seats nearly
by one Of the best, If not the best. audi
ences ever assembled in Wytheville on
a like occasion.
Mr.. j. \. Sanders introduced Mr.. Bailey
who was received with loud cheering. He
began speaking at 4 quarter of 2, and did
not close until half-past 4. He was given
the very closest attention Throughout
holding his vast audience until he closed
though many of them lived many miles in
the country, and had 10 return 10 theiT
homes after the speaking.
His speech, a mastery effort, and one
which l could not do justice by II
should attempt a synopsis Of 1t, was de-
voted TO the war, taxes, finance, and ter
ritorial expansion, taking up and discuss
| ing them in the order given. His frgu'
ment against the characterization
was the most conclusive and the finest
argument Of any public question heard
| here in years. In fact, it was unanswer'
able. In his argument against territorial
| expansion as neCessitating a standing
| army and navy his tribute to the volun
! teer soldiers, both officers and in TIE
| ranks, was eloquent, ana carried his au
dience by storm. This has been grand
| and glorious occasion for Rhea and De
mocracy and the fruits Of Mr.. Bailey''

STUART, VA, October 25.-(Speclal.)-
A large crowd attended Patrick court to-
day. Politics were the all-absorbing
theme. Hon c. A. Swanson and Attor-
ney-General A. j. Montague were on
hand to represent the Democrats, and
Hon. s. H. Hoge. former Democratic
legislator from this county but now post
master of Roanoke, and Mr. ]. w. Hart
well Of the same city, were here TO
speak for Mr.. Parr, who was conspicuous
by his absence.
The Democrats occupied the court
house. and the spacious room was filled
TO it's utmost capacity, many ladies being
present. Hon. G. A. Swanson was the
first speaker, and for over an hour he
poured broadside after broadside into
the sinking ship of Abe Lincoln, No. 2,
as Parr is called by his over-zealous ad-
mirers. The contrast drawn between
Abe No. l. and Abe. No 2, was striking
and ludicrous. Mr.. Swanson showed that
PARIS record as a member Of the House
and the State Senate was against the In
terests OF the people and in behalf OF
railroads and monopOlles. He also show
