F, Burgess made his initial appearance he
fore a Victoria audience last night at the
opera house aud mase an eloquent, logical
and convincing address IA large. attentive
and appreciative assemblage on the politi
cal issues Of the day from democratic
standpoint. with especial reference to the
present. campaign and the material interests
Of the Ninth congressional district, which
he Will represent In the next house Of rep.
resentatives. The address was along the
same lines as his speeches at other points
In the district, which have been reported
az length in The Post. He devoted the
greater portion Of his remarks last night
70 the paramount issues OF trusts and the
Philippines, presenting the democratic
policies on these great questions most
lucidly aud convlncingly, and showed up
the lack Of sincerity. consistency and prac.
hcablllty manifested by the republican
party In It's past and proposed dealings
with the trusts. Victoria county Is close
politically, and generally goes republican in
National elections but II Is believed by
competent Observers that Burgess will have
at least 100 majority.
