Especial telegram to the Dispatchl
PETERSBURG, October 1G.-The Conserya-
tive maS<-meeting at the Academy of Music
tonight was attended by the largest and
mos; enthusiastic crowd drawn out by any
political occasion since the war, and the oc-
clsion has in all respects been a perfect Oval
ton. In the throng were many ladies, who
seemed delighted auditors, and the best or.
der prevailed.
The stand was occupied by members Of
the City Committee and by leading citizens.
and the speakers were introduced by Cap
tain~John K. Patterson, the city superin-
tendcnt.
Major John W. Daniel, the first orator, led
of in speech OF nearly two hours, in which
he addressed. himself principally to the work
ing people, showing how Radicalism had
been the worst enemy Of their interests, but
Incidentally touching on the education ques-
lion. he Radical carpet-bag governments in
lie southern States, and exposing with lin.
,;'aring hand the inconsistencies and de-
liuqurncics of Mr.. Hughes's course.
The many eloquent aigbts Of Major Daniel
We're applaudcd to the echo, and loud shouts
erected him as he sat down. Not less etfec-
tive and popular was.thc effort of Colonel
William Ii. Berkeley, who followed in 4
speech Of two hours. aud who lashed the
Radical party with whip Of scorpions. His
exposure Of tue dishonest and varying re-
cord of the Radical candidates was almost
cruel. He said Judas I.cariot was gentle
nan and Christian beside such kpaves.
Colonel Bcrkeley's speech was also filled
With iIuc bursts of oratory, which the peo-
pie heard with loud ana frequent applause
aud both gentlemen often conyulsed the au-
dience With witty points or wel.told anec-
dotcS. Colonel Beard is now speaking lat
II o'cock}, and the crowd is listening with
pleasure and high interest, notwithstanding
the late hour.
The utmost enthusiasm prevails for Con-
Scrvatism. ROBIN ADAIR.
