Dublin Va, October 1s.-Not since
the strenuous days of 1885. when the
late General Fitzhugh Lee led march
ing thousands through the valley and
over the mountains of Southwest vlr-
ginia in his inspiring campaign for
Governor, has such great Democratic
rally taken place in Pulaski county az
was held at the fair grounds near here
to-day.
Adding materially to the general
feeling of confidence already prevail
ing in the Democratic ranks that Mr.
Stuart is going to win his battle for
Congress over C. Bascom slemp, 1t
emphasized the interest and activity Of
the people of Pulaski in his cause,
and he and those who are managing
his campaign in this end of the dis
trict left here tonight happy over the
inspiring results of the day.
The weather was perfect. the place
of meeting IDEAL and the 1850 men
and women who came out to greet the
popular Democratic standard-bearer
and the distinguished orators VINO
spoke with him displayed spirit OF
enthusiasm which the leaders declare
foreshadows fine majority for stuart
in this county.
In the vast concourse We're many OF
Pulaski's fair daughters, and not only
did they soften the occasion with their
smiles. but they brought forth from
their homes and served TO the multi
tudinous throng an old fashioned VAR
GINA country dinner, OF which there
was the greatest abundance for all.

vention. and took an active part in
framing the suffrage ordinance
All save Mr. Wysor. who only spoke
in introducing Mr.. Glass. discussed this
matter at length. showing to the great
audience that the Democratic party
had made this forever white mans
party, in framing the Underwood Con-
stitution. had handed the ballot to
over 100000 negroes. and had UNDER
taken at the same time to disfranchise
as many white men.
The record of Mr.. Slemp in Congress
was torn to pieces by all the speakers.

-Aldrichism and Slempism, generally
speaking, furnished the targets aimed
at. and they We're all fairly riddled
with Democratic bullets.
Mr.. stuart spoke for two hours, along
the usual lines. in the forenoon, hav-
ing been introduced by o. L. Jordan
