slastic Democratic rally. Judge G. II.

cacy Of It's claims to perpetuatlon in

Judge Mann. of Nottoway, who opened
with reference to q lemon which hns

can speaker. He declared 1t to be an
npt N presentation of what Republl-
can administration, always leaves IN that
1T had been squeezed. He eloquently re-
sented Republican charges Of corruption
inE the State government, and rehearsed
the record Of Republican State govern
ments. He showed the expensiveness Of
free books and the necessary Increase
IN taxation or reduction Of present school
efficiency. should the State undertake
to furnish the same, and set forth what
n Democratic administration had done for
Virginia schools. He told Of the hand-
some balance loft in the treasury, an

occasion to say that while the Demo-
Gratis were divided a few weeks ago In

Mr.. Swanson was soundly applauded
when lie came forward, and the APP
plause was redoubled when he declared
he was proud to argue his cause before
the gallant Democracy Of Rockingham
county. He paid an enthusiastic tribute
to the people Of the Valley. and was
loud In his praise of the evidences or
prosperity in this section.
In his discussion OF the platform he
defended the attitude Of the Democrats
on the school question in general. and
followed closely IN lines laid down IN
Richmond speech last week. He was Wig
orous at all times in his discussions. and
made decided Impression on the audi
ence Of representative people.
Mr.. Glass made an equally strong Inn

otAcr firsnians upon subjects OF In
terest to them all. First. he believed
that the happiness, peace and prosperity
of the people OF the State rested upon
the success Of the Democratic party. He
asked II there were any reasons for a
change In the administration In Virginia
from Democracy to Republicansm, that
John Randolph uttered a warning in the
convention OF 1899 and 80 that change
was not reform.
The major said the affairs Of the State
had been honestly conducted, and illus
tJated It, by saying that while the reve-
nue had been increased by the millions,
every dollar had been accounted for .eX-
cept In one or two Instances, and then
the defaulters had been arrested and sent
to the penitentiary. The Republican
party, he said, was attempting to bride
the people by offering free books, He

citation with tho boys OF tho cavalry,
