Reply to Mr.. Fo11>es.
''I wish TIC comment On one or two OF
the things that Mr.. e. c. Folkes SAID a.
Corcoran Hall on Wednesday night. al
though I shall have no word of unklnd-
ness for him.
q deeply regret to have incurred his
personal displeasure. l do not know why
he should have attacked me SO utterly
So far as l am informed. he has no per-
sonal interest in this contest. and YET ne
deliberately attacks a man who has never
injured him, but who has been trlend
of his family for years. and whose klns-
men have supported him for office
1T seems that he does not like the way
I wear my clothes, and seems offended
that was once mistaken for a preacher
l am very sorry for these things if they
are they which provoked Mr.. Folkes 20
attack me. On the other hand, if this
is not the true reason. but Mr.. Folkes
finds the cause CT his friend SO desperate
that he must cast aside his usual calm
and just mental attitude toward all men
and measures and voluntarily leap into the
arena with personal abuse of one who
has been his friend and has never harmed
him. then l an vel: satisfied
hut some of the things Mr.. Folkes said
are of mere consequence than his abuse
He says that the voters of Richmond.
having now supported a candidate from
one of the counties for six years. ought to
see that the district is represented by q
man from Richmond.
Now. Mr. Folkes would not willingly
misrepresent any fact nor suppress any
part OIL the lIutl. ana. therefore. L ain
sure that it was simply because he was
not informed that he did not sag that
prior to 1896 the counties Of the district
nao not had the representative for some
thing like forty years. Surely man os
Mr. Folkes calm and just judgment will!
not contend that six is anything like the
equivalent of forty"
AT LOCOMOTIVE WORKS TODAY.
Captain Lamb will speak to the men
at the Locomotive Works to-day. He
said. TIN going to say to the men at the
works that if they vote against me, they
will vote against a man who has done
more for the Locomotive Works than any
other man in Virginia. He was loudly
cheered for this sentiment and it was
evident that every expression favorable
to the manufacturing industries of the
city met Il hearty response in the men
who were gathered before Captain Lamb
last night.
For more than an hour after the meet
ing, Captain Lamb and his supporters
Were assured of the hearty support of the
Fultonites in the approaching campaign
and the Congressman was busy shaking
hands with his loyal friends in that sec
ton Of the city up to the hour of mid
night
