TOWN OF SUFFOLK.Hon. Charles M. Wallace Opens

Campaign for Bryan.Delivered an Eloquent and Impressive

Speech at County Court House Ycstor-

Uay-Heavily Fined on Several Charges- Democratic Club Organized.

(Special to Virginian-Pilot.)Suffolk. Va., Sept. 10..Hon. Charles

M. Wallace, Jr., a former delegate fromRichmond to the Genera! Assembly, to¬day formally opened the Democraticcampaign by addressing an assemblyof Democrats in the County Court¬house. The speaker talked for themost part against imperialism andlarge armies, and Incidentally answer¬ed a portion of President McKlnley'sletter of acceptance. He said in part:"What is good for the army is bad

for the citizens. The Republican.nom¬inee for Vico-Prosident predicates hiswhole contention for political prefer¬ment on the ground that lie took partIn a Cuban battle, where, but for a reg¬iment of negroes, he and his RoughRiders would have been overwhelmedWith defeat."A large army represents brute force;

it represents oppression, and it repre¬sents privileges for the monicd classeswhich other people don't get."Mr. Wallace spoke of the high price

paid for the Philippine trade, and con¬tinued: "Your money to bo spent Inthe Improvement of Philippine harborsand your money for education ofPhilippine children might be betterBpent at home. Wherever you exaltthe flag and deprave the Constitutionyou pave the way for a military gov¬ernment and exhaust the nation's re¬sources."Since reading McKlnley's letter of

acceptance in to-day's paper I am moresure of Democratic success than ever.Mr. McKinley Indicates the weaknessof his cause by making the moneyquestion tlie leading issue and subordi¬nating imperialism, which is the realIssue of this campaign. Imperialismis an issue which Is more dangerousthan the financial question.""Your great standard bearer is a

man who lias never weakened: whohas never forsaken his duty; who hasnever gotten the reputation of havingto eat his words as a daily diet. Hewants no money; he wants no positionhe Is not able to 1111. He is six feethigh, weighs 200 pounds.a man whohas arisen on the plains of Nebraska,to keep American manhood true toAmerican traditions. W. J. Bryan isthe greatest statesman America hasseen since the civil war."

HEAVILY" PINED.Saturday night a colored man got on

too much liquor and proceeded to raisea disturbance over in Ohuokatuek dis¬trict.

dy role, has reached the proportions ofa fad. The play is said to bo magnifi¬cently staged and costumed* A spe¬cial 00-foot car is carried by the organ¬ization, which has won the reputationof being the strongest aggregation oractors since the famous Booth andBarrett combination.
