The men on Bowen's ticket were to be
Judged by their leaders. Bad as Bowen was
he was not worse than many OF the other men
en- his ticket. Sheriff Mackey then went over
the record of the other candidates 10 detail.
Jeryey was supposed TO be one ofthe best
men on the ticket; yet, he had voted In favor
OF the Blue Ridge Railroad bill when It was
passed, and he again voted In Its favor to
pass 1t ever the Governors veto. He wanted
to know whether the people could vote for A.

white men were moving heaven and
earth 10 have Richmond reelected
simply because they shared the proh1s
of certain jobs which Richmond eon-
trolled as clerk of court. A year or TWO ago
the grand Jury recommended that the reglp-
ters OF the court be indexed. This had oeen
done under the superstition tnat 1t Wouio

Instead of two or three hundred dollars MT.
Richmond, without having employed a Single

for tho work. The bill was 80 enormous that

the polls. He would have them use all the
persuasion they were capable of, and con-
damned the use of force under any clrcum-
stances.
Secretary Cardozo followed, and went over
the same old ~ground-the arraignment OF the
Boilers and the defence of the Regular candi-
dates. His speech was unimportant, and

self.
Coroner Taft made the next speech, and
went over the ground previously canvassed
By Mackey.
Psrson Cain was the next speaker. he had
not one word to say about the candidates oil
| the opposition ticket. He endeavored to
press upon his hearers the Importance OF
having q better government In the future
than they bad had 10 the past. His speech
was short and, on the whole, sensible.
E. B. seabrook was called upon, and made,
In response, a short and eloquent speech. He
saw no merit In the county struggle. Regard.
ed 1t simply as q struggle for office. He was
neither q Mackeyite nor q Bowenlte, but
he would vote for Mackey because he was the
nominee of the Regular Republican Ticket. He
reviewed the career of Moses, and repudlated
| the ISLANDERS that had been circulated against
| him by The Boilers. Not one of them had
been proved, and he therefore asked bis
hearers to dismiss them from their minds. He
thought that the breach between the two
races was rapidly healing. There were, 1t
was true, q few old men with hoary heads VINO
were so welded to the Institutions OF the past
that 1t would be impossible for them ever to
realize the Importance of the issues before
them. These men, however, were advancing
rapidly to the grave, and the sooner the grave
closed over their heads the better for the COM
munlty.
The closing speech was made by d. PurVis,
| the candidate for ~adjutant and lnspector-gen-
eral. 1t was little else than o TRADE against
the respectable white citizens of the State.
PurvIs was frequently Interrupted by the
audience, who evidently were not pleased
with his speech. On the whole, the meeting
was orderly enough.
