Joint discussion, but had been denied
every time. and that there was no way
left by which he could secure II. His
criticisms OF Col. Slemps record were
at times scathing. The speaker de-
ciared that Col. Slemp had exhibited a
degree OF weakness and ignorance in
Congress, which rendered him an
unsuitable man for the high position to
which he aspires.
Col Slemp had attacked the New
Constitution and the suffrage law by
which the negroes were DISTINGUISHED.
and wanted to go back to the old con-
stitution, negroes and all. The new
constitution, said the speaker, protect
ed the poor man by providing him with
separate cars and schools. The suf-
frage law cut out only those who were
too ignorant or indifferent to vote. II
was never intended TO disfranchise n
white man. The qualifications for vot-
ing are such, that any man, either white
or black, can get on the books II they
really desire to do 80.
The speaker discussed the race ques-
ton which has been injected into this
campaign by the Republican National
Platform, and showed the Presidents
and Col. Slemp's attitude and record
on the question. Col. Slemp endorsed
the Platform, ard the Republicans OF
the district reafIlrmed this platform
with no restrictions, and Col. Slemp is
their candidate. The Infamous incl
dents Of placing the little colored boy
and white girl on the platform at
Chicago, the Booker Washington in
cident, the Baker letter In the Wash
ington Post and Col Slemp's vote
against n one-legged. confederate sol
dier In favor Of a negro, were all re-
cited with telling effect.
The speaker closed his wonderful
speech with an appeal to the Demo
crafts TO arouse themselves and put
Col. Slemp and his party out OF power
for the good OF society and the country.
At the conclusion OF MIR. Wysors
address, Attorney Werth introduced
Hon. Harry st. George Tucker, dean
OF the law school OF Washington and
Lee University, who made forceful
and eloquent address. He discussed
in the main,the two men, Roosevelt and
Parker, candidates for President, and
other national issues. Mr.. fuckers
speech was received with great de
light, and was frequently interrupted
by applause.
Both speakers were In fine mental
and physical condition, and their ad-
dresses were full OF wholesome truths,
Fabounded in Wit, humor and eloquent
flights. II Col. Slemp Is reelected to
Congress 1t will be after one OF the
hardest fought battles of his life.

"Mr. Wysor did not tell
the ladies that he had used the same
(negro) band at Pocahontas to attract
"A crowd for him. and but for their mu-
sic he would not have secured the small
audience he did get. '-Tazewell Re-
publican.
Wrong again. The band at Poca-
hontas was The Red Mems Band, OF
Roanoke, all white men. They were
there to play for the 4th OF July enter
tainments. II Democratic speakers In
this state have ever depended upon a
negro band to whoop up n crowd for
them we have not heard Of II. 1t was
certainly not the case at Pocahontas, us

finally by the Judge OF the Court re-
minding him that his time was more
than up. This writer was not present
during these two addresses, and hence
writes only from report. The speeches
consisted largely, it is said, OF the usual
attacks on the New Constitution, and
abuse OF Democrats, and the old time
worn charges Of fraud and corruption.
At the conclusion of Col. Slemp's
speech the Republicans filed out and
the Democrats took possession. Many
OF the Republicans, however, remained
to hear the Democratic speakers.

Democratic Candidate For Con-
gress From the Ninth District
Makes a Great Speech in
Tazewell = Hon. Harry St.
George Tucker of Lexington
Also Speaks.
All the leading politicians Of both
parties were here on Monday. besides
a large attendance OF the rank and file.
We Cad the largest crowd since the
system OF courts was established. 1t
had been advertised far and wide that
distinguished speakers Of both parties
would address the people, and the
crowds came out.
The Democrats had given ample
notice that Hon. J. G. Wysor, candidate
for Congress from this District, and
Hon. Harry st. George Tucker, of
Lexington, would be here, and the re-
putations Of these gentlemen as speak.
ers drew large crowds. And the crowds
that heard them were not disappointed.
1t was widely remarked that two great
er addresses were never made In the
state, certainly not In this district than
we're made by these distinguished
speakers, though delivered under some
difficulties and interruptions.
Mr.. wysor speech of more than
two hours, was a masterpiece OF eloqu-
ence, and the large crowd including a
number OF ladies. were thoroughly in
terested from start to finish.
Hon. Harry st. George Tucker, who
is son OF the late John Randolph
Tucker, sustained his own and the re-
putation OF his distinguished father, as
a speaker OF great intellectual ability
and power. He began his address late
In the afternoon, after the audience
had sat for more than two hours i'm the
crowded court room, nevertheless, he
was fully equal to the occasion. and
was heard with great pleasure and de-
light.

and eve q they we're waking down

from London concerning judgments

Wine merchants and chiropodist. There
was a general superstition when his
grace married Miss Helena thinner
man Of Cincinnati a few years ago that
it would no longer be necessary for
him to pretend to be interested in
something up in the clouds when he
met his laundryman. Apparently. how
ever, he found it impossible to use the
pa-in-law for such a vulgar and com
mon thing as the payment of debts,
hence the present suits against him in
London, Dublin and elsewhere. In this
connection it is only proper to say that
the Earl of Yarmouth has had no recent
trouble with the butcher. He can go
into London whenever he phases, with
the calm assurance that nobody will
throw him into gaol for debt, and it is
well known that it Is no longer neces-
sary for him to remain in bed while his
union suit is being washed. He has,
in short, been able to pay debts, to re-
pair his castles and to still have some
thing to the good.
But we must not attribute the differ
ence in his favor entirely to the liber-
atty of the Thaws of Pittsburg. To
the earl himself much credit is due for
his present. fiourishing condition. At
the time of his marriage he refused,
when the church was filled with the
elite of Pittsburg and the gentry Of
Allegheny City-at the very moment
when the bride was starting down the
aisle with the intention of meeting him
at the altar-to go on with his part un-
less the Thaws would put up an addi-
tional million. What could they do?
They didn't know of another earl who
could be secured at short notice. and
they had more money than they would
ever to talk about splitting the differ
even to talk about splitting tn differ
ence with the nobleman. His terms
were acceded to, and as re departed
with his beautiful radiant countess,
whose head was high with well-won
pride, he had the serene satisfaction
of knowing that instead Of selling him
self for a mess Of pottage he had taken
opportunity by the tail and tied a knot
in it.
