FUITZ AND i. BERKELEY, ESQ, RAhSDELL
AND COLONEL CAMEROS-RhDICAL NOMINAL
MISUNDERSTANDING MEETING.
Especial telegram to the Dispatch.l
CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va, October CA
Joint discussion was held between the Con-
servatives and Radicals here to-day. Colonel
Duke was selected as chairman for the Con-
seryatiyes and David Clarke for the. Radi-
Gals. ..'.. 80,
Mr. Fultz was introduced, and spoke one
hour, and made 4 laborcd effort to sustain
his party, the hobby he rode seeming TO be
Radical protection to foreigners. He, how
ever, upon being questioned on his previous
relation with know-Nothingism, couldn't
remember whether he voted for Flournoy or
Wise. He accomplished nothing.
Mr.. Futz was replied to by Robert Berke-
ley, of Richmond, and the manner in which
he used Judge Fultz clearly indicated that
he had no respect for Radical feelings. To
say be skinned him would be putting it too
light he liberated him; lashed him unner-
cifully, until it was pitiable to see his Judicial
antagonist writing under the torture. The
Radicals themselves acknowledge that Berke-
ley was too much for them. lie is gifted
orator, and has made an impression here that
will tell, and has won many friends.
Ranlsdell' spoke next, and delivered the
same speech he does everywhere. lie was
replied to by Colonel Cameron, Of Richmond,
in clear, logical, and exhaustive refutation
of RamSdell's positions.
The effect of the discussion has been good.
All doubts, if any existed, have been re-
moved from Conservative minds and trans
| ferred to the minds Of the enemy.
| After the discussion the Radicals went
| into the nomination for officers with the
| following result: House Of Delegates, John
| II. Bibb, Isaac W. Garth, Captain Horn; for
Senate, james L. Dunn for Common
wealth's Attorney, Montgomery SHINES
for Superintendent of Poor, Robert a. Chill
dress. The latter is the present incum-
bent, placed there by the Conservatives,
| bat defeated in nomination this year.
| The courthouse was dcnsely packed with
negroes. come to do homage to their mas.
tiers.
At balfpast / O'Clock tonight Conserva-
tive meeting was held in the courthouse, al
which Thomas Wood, Esq, presided. Upon
taking the chair he offered resolutions to the
following effect; which were adopted with
uproarious applause:
" Resolred, That the thanks of the citi
zens be and are hereby rendered to MIR
Robert Berkeley for the tender solicitud(
with which he handled the venerable Judge
Fultz in the discussion to-day; and, also, thai
it is the hope of this meeting that Dir. Berke'
lev NAV attend the Judge in his tour over
the State that he may suffer no detrlment'"
Colonel RI. W. Duke was then intro
duced, and in an address of an hours
length so completely tore the Radical plat
form to pieces as to leave them not splinter
to stand upon. He drew congressional docIl
ments upon them to justify his statements
and astonished his hearers with most con
yincing arguments. He was followed by 5
V. Southall, Esq, who addressed the people
in his pleasantly attractive style for about
one hour. i,
Colonel Berkeley WAS then Introduced
but excused himself from making long
speech, though he made very effective talk
to the colored men presented whom there
were great many-to the detriment of the
Radical party. ....
Mr.. W. w. Gilman was then called for
| 4 loI III. of 1nrfrh
and continued applause. He. calledto three
cheers for Colonel Berkeley, which were
given with a hearty goodwill. - ~
