Mr.. Prosser Pleases Large Au'
dlenCe.

Paul P. Prosser Of Fayette,
Mo-, candidate for the Demo
cratic nomination for Congress
from this, the seventh congress
ional district, made one of the
most eloquent and profound
speeches Friday night in the
court house ever heard in
Lexington. Mr.. Prosser, I'M
mediately after the introduction
by Judge Richard Field, launched
into a discussion of the most
momentous question of the day
the tariff tax. The greatest or
ators of the country have been
listened to here in Lexington on
this subject, and a conclusion had
been reached by many, that they
had heard every argument, pro
and con, that could be made on
the subject. But not so, Mr..
.Prosser, revealed in his speech
a profound investigation Of the
subject; new facts were brought
out in his historical analysis of
this iniquitoug tax. His argu-
ments were convincing, his style
equal to a Vest or a Bryan, and
every listener was charmed by
his rapid and distinct enuncia-
ton. He spoke for more than
an hour and a half without a
seconds hesitation. Everyone who
heard him must have been ian
pressed withA the fact that he
truly possesses a great mind, apc
that such ability cannot 60 un
rewarded. Mr.. Prosser will
speak here Friday night, june
IA, at the Flag Day services Of
the Lexington Lodge Of Elks.
