ADRIAN F. LEONARD, ESQ. Peoples
Candidate addressed a meeting of the citizens
last night, and his speech is thus summarized
by the Old Dominion:
1.-THE meeting was eoquently addressed by
Mr.. Leonard, who denounced the system now
being attempted of arraying classes against
classes. The political status of Virginia was
explained, and the bold position of President
johnson highly Landed. State interests. and
the benefits derivable from Railroads, and the
future of Norfolk were ably discussed.
The superiority in the wealth and commerce
OF Baltimore were traced plainly to the ener-
gy of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Com
pany. The water works were advocated
heavy taxes on the oyster trade were de-
nouneed as being excessive, and an imposition
on those engaged in the oyster trade. After
an eloquent exposition of the present inactive
condition of Virginia, and Norfolk in par
tieular, and references to the means necessary
to extricate both from their present lethergy
Mr.. Leonard gracefully concluded his speech =
Mr.. Leonard will make an excellent repre-
sentative Of this city He is evidently gem
tleman Of enlarged views-as his remarks in
dlcate. Let him be elected
