Royal, OF Richmond, in y speech de-
l'vcrcd last night before ii crowd OF
several hundred people gathered on
tic vacant property in front of the
Aca,icmy OF Music.
Mr.. Royal spoke under the auspices
OF the Central Montague Campaign
Club coming here from Richmond yes
tcrday afternoon for The purpose. Ills
dcnunciatiOn OF Senator Martin and his
friends was by fur the most direct and
violent heard here during the cam
paiEn. No particular enthusiasm was
manifested during the meeting and, al
though Mr.. Royal was applaudcd ut
times all CT the speeches were rather
cody received.
Just before 8 O'Clock the Newport

cortcd to the stand by number Of the
prominent local Montague leaders.

the campaign. Hc read extracts from
the minutes of the sessions Of the
legislature, the report of the commit
tee appointed Ia investigate the charge
that the legislature had been corrupt
cd and from editorials published in the
newspapers of the State at the time.
The speaker declared that the invos-
tigatiOn of the corruption was farce
and was made SO by friends of Senator
Martin. Continuing, he said that the
resolution offered by one of Senator
Martins leading supporters, providing
the investigation of the committee be
confined exclusively To the acts OF the
candidates in question and the mem
bcrS of the legislature, caused the in
vcstigaiiOn to amount TO nothing
The charge was, he said, that the rail
roads furnished money with which To
send representatives to the legislature
To elect Martin and that This resolution
prevented the committee from inqtlir-
ing into the acts of agents of railroads.
Mr.. Rovall read Senator Martins
reply to his Richmond speech. in which
the senator said that the committee
had cNOncratcd him. He wont OH to
say that the reply was poor ono, that
any one could read the report of the
committee and see that the real charge
WAS not touched upon Al this point
he read The report. in which the com
miltcc said that, while there had been
practices during the campaign of
which 1t did not improve. the candi-
dates for the senate had nothing TO do
with such practices.
Referring to the claim that General
| Lee was friendly toward Senator Mar
! Tin after this election. the speaker said
that he personally knew that General
Leo believed that Senator Martin was
elected by the use of railroad money
and hat the general was Mr.. Martins;
enemy.
! After discussing the manner in
which Senator Martin WAS elected. the
speaker said: is Tom Martin United
States senator for Virginia? No! He
is United States senator for the rail
/ roads"
Then he said that he was opposed
TO Martin not only because of the man.
ncr in which he beat General Lee, but
because he "abhorrcd his politics"
After saying: "rherc is not ballot
/ box suffer, election thief or dsrcpt
table character in Virginia who is moi
for Thomas s. Martin" the speaker
said that he did not mean TO say that
all Of Mr.. Martins friends and sup
portcrs were disrcputablc. but that he
did not see how the senator was fool
ing the good people who were will
him.
| The speaker read quotation from
Senator Martins speech here recently
in which the senator said: IL think
Southern statesmen have spent tor
much time talking about sentiment
{, and the constitution, etc. etc"
! Expressing very forciby his opinion,
of such speech from a United States
senator from Virginia, the speaker
concluded ly saying: "a more sordid

WHEAT DRIED
AND CLEANED
Wonderful Change Wrought In A
Sample Sent To Washinqfon

Some weeks ago the wheat committee
of the Chamber of Commerce sent to the
Agricultural Department at Washington
Il sample of damp and garlicky Southern
wheat. The wheat was in especially
| had condition and was what the trade
| call 'rejectcd' and would sell only on its
merits. The quality was SO very poor
| that it was doubted whether the eleva-
| tors would have received it into their
| bins. The purpose in sending it to Wash
ingtOn was to see whether or not there
| was any way by which the wheat could
| be improved to, make it more market
able.
Yesterday portion Of the sample was
returned. 1t was dry, clean. plump and
| altogether desirable: - much $50 that
| Chief Inspector Mcdonald said he would
| have no hesitancy in grading the sample
| rs No. rel, which is the highest quail
| ity of wheat known in this market. Ac-
companying the sample from the Agri-
cultural Department was Il lot of for
| cign matter which had been taken from
| the wheat This included garlic cookie
and other seeds and sui stances which in
| fest wheat fields. especially in portions
of Maryland ana the South. As ere

ington would have brought in this mar
kct yesterday about 30 cents Il buShcl.
but after it, Washington treatment it
would readily have cammonlch ST.

What was lost in weight by drying is
not vet known. rs the department has
| not sent q full report of its treatment of
the sample. Experienced grain men say
that the boss could have in no way been
equal to the III. cents lain in price.
1t is understood that the Washington
| officials nan the sample through IL COM
mcrcial dryer and separator. There are
| said to he several of these on the mar
