A series of protracted meetings

On last Monday, it being court
day, the judge yielded the bench fol-
several hours in the afternoon to the
public speakers. Hon. James NJ.
Stubbs was present and gave the
people a very interesting speech,
This writer has always, and dou btless
ever shall look upon the average Re-
publican as one who would stoop to
anything to gain his ends, but Mr..
Stubs speech, his carefulness in
each assertion and his countenance-
if all my observation of the faces of
men has not been spent in vain
forces me to say that he is a perfect
gentleman, "a strai2 hit forward, earnest
and honorable man.
l.. II. Smith, at the call of our
people, took the stand in defense of
MIR. Jones and Democracy. Benz.
Chambers followed Mr.. Smith and
took a stand with him. Mr.. Cham
bers said, tho four years ago he
separated himself from us, this time
he's with us in mind, heart and soul.
Mr.. Chambers is a man of keen OBJ
servation and has abundant oppor-
tunity to observe the trend of affairs.
and he says Mr.. Bryan will be elected
without shadow of doubt. This
is the wish of every true-hearted
Virginia man.
We notice that the Baltimore
american is harping on the one issue
of the money question. There has
come to me one thought, where | got
1T | know not, which might be a
benefit to those who understand as
little about this topic as | do. Very
few of the ordinary men really
understand this involved and tangled
question, but the trustmen, the spec
ulators, the capitalists all these under
stand it and well. They are in
favor of the gold standard, or.
in other words, they are in favor
of McKinleyism. The interest of
these northern monopolizers is not
the interest of the largest majority
of American citizens. The laborinS
man comprises the greatest class of
people in the world, and who would
say their interest is the same as the
trust companies? Therefore we are
for the l6 to l, or, in other words.
we are in favor of Organism, which
stands as firm representative of the
laboring class of people in the wide,
WIDE world.
The people of this place gave a
lawn party for the purpose of getting
