'Iraxler, of' Greenville, canidate for congress, was first introduced. \1r. ''raxlcr's ad dress was devoted principally to an attack on the present congressinan and an exposition of his own ideas as to what a candidate should be moral ly. He said that Mr. Nicholls was elected by the people of this district to represent thenm in congress and that he was under obligation to come down and give an account of his stew ardship. "It. is anl insult to your in telligence" he said, for Congress man Nicholls to write 10,000 letters down to this district saying that he can't leave Washington on account of he boys down at Styx. lie charged that Mr. Nicholls had nothing to do with the Natioi al Guard at Styx. Mr. Traxler offered to guarantee that MIr. Nicholls would be in the district be fore the campaign was over, in sidle of the fact that he had said he couldn't come. Mr. Traxler said that ie had re signed the postmastershi) at Green Ville, but wis still postmaster. "If Sant Nicholls had the right. inihience and power in \otihingloi, ie would have put ie out long ago,"' lie sabd. lie charged Ihat. \ir.
