THE HARMON INVITATION.

Wishing to take the measure of the
man and to hear OF the things for
which he stands. the General Assembly
yesterday invited Governor Harmon.
OF Ohio. to address It at this session.
Doubtless no will accept this oppor-
tun!ty to become acquainted in some
degree with the representatives OF the
Virginia electorate and to state to
them his views on national Issues.
The mind of Virginia Is not yet mado
up as to whom 1t prefers for the
Democratic nomination for tho presi-
dency. and the legislative invitation
Is significant Of the open-mindedness
and fairness OF the people of The Old
Dominion, who wish to hear all sides
and have the facts before them before
reaching. deliberately and coolly. a
final decision. Governor Harmon looms
large on the political horizon; even
his foes concede that no has given
Ohio d most constructive and progress

daily welcomed In Virginia and given
attentive ear.

Senator jeff Davis.
Speaks TO Large Audience Wednesday
at The Court House

A full court house, representing all
parts Of the county, greeted Senator
left Davis when he arose to speak in
accordance with his appointment
last Wednesday. 1t was a good-na-
tured crowd, generous in its APP
plause throughout, Many remarked
that the Senator has added polish to
his style during his four years in the
Senate, but he has lost nothing OF
his ability to hold and please his
audience.
He explained that his refusal to en-
ter into a Joint debate with his OPP
ponent Mr., Brundridge was to avoid
the scenes of former campaigns and
to allow him time for a broader dis
.cusson of the issues OF the day, and
to give an account OF his steward
ship, His picture Of national polti-
cal conditions was not a bright one,
but was rounded up with the prob
ability Of democratic success in the
coming elections which would give
much promise Of relief for the people,
In closing he disclaimcd any desire
to mix in the gubernatorial cam
paign, but drew a picture Of the situ-
alton anything but favorable to
Governor Donaghey,
Jeff Davis has always had an caru-
est and loyal following in Boone
county and it is evident they will
