Claiming the Earth,

The entire earth and the fullness
there IF belongs to the Republicans
if one may credit the Republican
claims. A statement just given out
gives Walker a majoriety over Rhes
as follows Pulaski, $50, Wythe
100. Smythe 100, Wise 500, Buchan.
an 100, Tazewell 1000, Dickinson
100, Scott 80, making a total of
2,l50. To Rhea is conceded, Craig
$50, Giles 300, Washington 500,
Bristol 800, Russell 200 and Lee so.
This is the prepostrous claim of the
Republicans. Every well informed
man knows that these claims and
figures are absurd. There will be a
plenty of campaign funds sent here
by the national campaign committee,
and this will be supplemented by lib
eral contributions from the faith
ful' in the District, but notwithstand-
ing this General Walker will be de-
feated. All that is necessary is that
Democrats do their duty.

THE NINTH DfSTRicTAWAKE
The Political Campaign the 40
sor6lng Topic.

Bristol, Va, Oct. 27-Three weeks
ago there was compliant among the
leaders of a general state of apathy
in the Nirth Congressional district.
Since that time there has been a
notable change in the sitra ion. The
counties have all been visited by
good speakers, and the interest has
become absorbing. There is little or
no doubt that full vote will be cast
in the district.
As to the number of speakers, the
Democrats have had the advantage
of the Republicans. and there can be
no doubt that the Democrats
throughout the district are thorough
~ alive to the situation. Senator
Daniel, having come to the aid of
the local orators, has spoken to
large crowds wherever he has ap-
peared. If outward appearances are
to be taken for anything, the Dem
ocrats will undoubtedly re-elect
Congressman Rhea. The Democrat
ic leaders assert that Rhea will have
a majority of from 1000 10 5000 in
the district. The Republicans claim
that Walker will win, but do not say
by what majority. Mr. w. S. Ham
ilton, ex-Commonwealth's attorney
here, who is a shrewd observer of
the trend OF political conditions in
the Southwest, has made a forecast
in which he gives Rhea the district
by majority of 1876. In this fore.
cast he gives General Walker only
two counties, Tazewell and Wise.
He further states that if a full vote
is polled, he will not be surprised if
Rhea's majority reaches 5000. Mr..
Hamilton's estimates are perhaps
rather high. If the Congressman
gets 1850 majority in the district
his friends will be quite we'll salts
fed, and they will continue to insist
On earnest work in order to secure
this much. While Chairman Smith.
OF the Democratic committee, is con
fident, he has all along insisted that
earnes " DIRK should be done IN every
part of the distric up to the very last
moment.
The Democrats OF this city hope
to give Congressman Rhea a vote
that will be especially complimentary
and it is felt that his majority in the
city will probably not be less than
500.

100000 than in the Republican pros
perity year 1S99-the banner year of
Republican politics.
To the debt-laden farmer this kind
of prosperity must appear like ia
painted boat on a painted ocean,"
The prosperity that has come to us is
that which results from selling the
farmers and planters produce at
cost, or at a loss, for foreign con.
sumption, In other words, we Lave
exported millions of stuff that cost us
dollar and got back 20 cents.
AS is shown in the Financial Re-
view, the prosperity of this country
which is claimed to be exclusively
owing to Republican tactics, is shar-
ed by all nations, which proves con-
clusively that even if we have pros
perity the Republican politics had
nothing to do with it. On page 4S
of the Review will be found the fol-
lowing: England has been more
prosperous during the passt year
(1899) than for the previous quarter
of century. and that year has been
better than any year in the history
of the country. The heavy war ex-
penditures in South Africa by the
English and in the Philippines by
the United States in a great measure
effected economic conditions in 9th
countries. The experience of France
anb Germany las regards prosperity,
according to the Review for the
same period [ 1897 is to the same
effect.
