OFFICER W. H. WYATT SICK

Colonel Anderson in Fulton; HisCompetitors in Clay

Ward.

The municipal campaign clo i<±d last night,so far as speaking by tho candidates Isconcerned, with one exception, and to¬morrow will bo devoted to tho lining upof forces for Tuesday's battio of theballots.Colonel Gorogo Wayno Anderson spoke

In Fulton, nnd most of the olhcr aspir¬ants for Commonwealth's Attorney nd-dressed a meeting at Bolvidcro Hall. Col¬onel Andcr.-on Intended to be nt tho lat¬ter place ns well, but arrived about tenmlnutoB after this meeting had adjourned.'

Ills Fulton mooting, which was held InNelson's Hall, wns late In aseembl.ng,and Just as ho was closing his speech agWtleniiin declaring that all tho laws ofthe State wero mnde against tho best In¬terests ?G the people, engaged lilm ln arunning debate, which detained him forsome time.

Make Good Impression.Colonel Anderson took care of himself

well and made a good Impression, liedeclared ho was not ask.ng tho peopleto vote for lilm simply because ho hadtried at all times to do his duty, but hothought It pretty hard If ho should boturned down for this reason.Tho Clay Ward meeting was not up to

the standard for numbers or enthusiasm.The crowd was fairly good slüud, butthe weather was oppressive, and tho.-o onhand did not seem anxious to hear longspeeches.AH thoso who spoke were candidates for

Commonwealth's Attorney,.Officer XX, II, AS'yatt, Jr., who is run¬

ning for high constable, Is ill of typhoidfever and could not bo present. Mr. Gar¬rison, tho Incumbent, therefore, did notspeak.

Mr. Cary Speaks.Vlcc-Presldent C. I. lJnillips callod tho

meeting to order at 8:__ o'clock, andthe first speaker waa Captain HunsdonCary, one of the candidates for Com¬monwealth's Attorney. Captain Cary saiaho was the llrst to enter the race fortho honor, and then he went Into hitplatform, which, he said, was simply andsolely to do his wholo duty to' the publiewithout fear or favor at all times.The speaker' mentioned some of the

qualifications which should obtain ln thoofllce and asked his hearers to makeInfluirles as to his fltnose to All It.In conclusion, Captain Cary asked his

audience to support him, if ho was foundto be the proper man foj*.,tho place.Captain Cary was cheered when he

concludod, and when Mr. Mlnetreo Folkes,another candidate for the ofllce, camoforward, tho applause was renewed.-¦Mr. Folkes mudo a decidedly good Im¬pression, and his remarks were quitehappy. Ho promised faithful service Ifelected, and said ho had had sulllclentexperience as a criminal lawyer to prop¬erly llll tho place if elected.Mr. Folkes said' he'rococnlzod that the

olBco belonged to the n«or>l«. und that h.was willing to leave tho matter of choiceto them.His closing appeal was a strong one,and was loudly cheered.Mr. John Howard, Jr., spoke brieflybut with earnestness In his behalf for the

same position. He declared his belief¦that he was fitted for the olllce, andearnestly asked his hearers to vote torhim if they should think that he hadthe qualifications to 1111 tho place.

Claimed Experience.Mr. Howard took a crack at Captain

Wise on the question of experience, andsaid If he was elected ho would striveto make a record almost," If not, Indeed,ns strong ae that mado by Captain Wisein the ofllco.The remarks of Mr. Howard were well

received.The speech of Colonel B. O. James was

ofton checrod. Ho spoke no evil of anyman, hut was vigorous ln declaring thatho was not brought out hv nny news¬paper In tho olty. He said, too, that hohad behind him no faction, and thatIf elected, ho would be free., nnd wouldstrive at all times to fill tho office faith¬fully,Colonol Jamos referred to his party

record, and when he called tho name ofWilliam J. Bryan as a groat leader oftho Domocraoy, there was great ap¬plauso. It was renewed when ho de¬nounced The News Leader for Its allegeduttompts to dictate tho policy of thoparty ln the matter of the nomination,"Haven't I done my duty?" ho asked.

"And yet the great Newe Leader as¬sumes to toll tho poople what they shalldo ln the mutter of naming a candidatefor this office."Whon Colonel James rotlrod to his soat

on tho stage, thero was an outburst ofapplauso which was loud and long con¬tinued.

Some Warm Firing.Hon. Charles M. Wallaoe, Jr., spoko

earnestly In his own cause, and got hisfair share of applause. Mr. Wallncotold of his experience as a lawyer, publicspeaker and legislator, and he promlecclthnt If elected ho would fill tho offlco alittle better than could any of his com¬petitor«.Mr. AVnllnco rovlowod brlolly his career

ln tho Legislature, and the applause re¬ceived Indicated that It was approved.Captain Goorgo D. Wlso followed Mr.

Wallace, and said the verdict was alreadymado up, and that ho felt confident howould get his share of votes, Ho -wascheered as woro his competitors, thoughho spoko only for a little whllo,Mr. Wallace had oxpressed conlidonco

that ho would win. Captain Wlso saidthoso mothode never. wun a fight, andno man could say what the rosult wouldbo.Tho speakor denounced tho News Lond-

or, as did Colonel James, for Its allogedsupport of Colonol Anderson, and he saidthe. voters of Ktohmond woro not a setof dogs to be whipped with the whipof Scorplus.Captain Wlso thanked the Clay Ward

Aotlves for hearing him so. often, andsaid he would npt wearv tho tnomhorswith a long speech.
