Joint Debate Between Congress

COURTEOUS OPPONENT

by the suavity of the Republican
Nominee-He, However, Makes
ForcefuI Speech-Martin,

Especial Dispatch. to The Timas.)
WEST APP0MATTOX, VA, October
a.-The County Court, beautiful day, and
the announced discussion between the
congressional candidates, brought here
to-day a large outpouring of the sover-
e;gns.
Colonel Lyons. the Republican nominee,
led off in fifty minutes speech; Flood
replied in speech Of one hour and tif-
teen minutes. and Lyons clsed in a
twenty minutes retoiner.
Lyons touched but slightly upon the
lines of the campaign, and devoted him
self mainly to a, criticism of the Demo-
Gratis for violating the Norfolk pledge to
submit the Constitution, and of the. reg
istration boards as reported from many
portions Of the State.
He said the disfranchisement of the
negro would rebound to the advanta ge of
the Republican party. He claimed that
the universal prosperity of the country
was the result of Republican control.
FLOOD FORCEFUL AND HAPPY.
Flood was very happy in his reply,
ambosting the Republicans for deluding
the negro. who pretended friendship as
long as they could use them, and now,
throwing them aside like so many
worthless cattle. He denied that there
was universal and generally diffused
prosperity, and declared that the bound
ing wealth OF the country was concen-
trated in the mammoth trusts and COM
bine.,, which strangled the small indus
tries, and built up money barons.
He discussed the protective tariff. aud
he showed it taxed the many for the
benefit of the few. While there were
some breezy passa ges. the discussion was
somewhat lacking in spice and pithy re-
tort. Colonel Lyons was so distressing
Is courteous as seemingly to disarm Mr..
Flood of his customary use of the keen
rapier and relentless broadsword in de-
bate.
FINE DEMOCRATIC AUDIENCE.
He gave immense satisfaction, never
theless to his hearers, who cheered him
to the echo. The audience was over
whcllninEly Democratic, there not being
apparently a half dozen Republicans
present. This was of course discour-
aging to Lyons. but he braved it
through,
He is a. fluent. graceful speaker. He Is
not as we'll posted or as forceful as
Flood. and is by no means a. match for
him in debate. They go to Fincastle
on Monday On that day Mr.. Yost is
to speak at Buckingham. on behalf of
Colonel Lyons. Senator Martin will also
sneak Monday at Buckingham. but there
will be no discussion between him and
Yost.

my statement to him that should take

the conditions we suggested in the con-
ference at the White House. we believed
that we had gone more than hale way
AMI had met your wishes
cit is unnecessary in this letter to refer

feel confident that you must have been

Having In mind our experiences with
the coal operators In the past we have
no reason to feel any degree Of conf

have refused to accept the decision of a
tribunal selected by you. and in as much
as there is no law through which you
could enforce the findings OF the COM

cline to advise our people to return 10

operators might be induced or forced to
comply with the recommendations OF your
