e The torchlight procession of th
e Regulars on Friday night was rather
10 tame affair SO far as numbers wer
IS concerned, but little "wild" in SOM
IS OF their expressions towards thei
boiling friends. The transparancie
e were tame also, and there was no
much enthusiasm manifested.
u When the procession reached Brook
s lyn Market House the meeting wa.
0 organized by calling a colored civi
flghter, keeler, to the chair James
heaton, candidate for Superior Court
; CieEk, was first called upon to speak
and he did speak for three hours, two
e hours and three-quarters being con.
4 fined to abuse of Canaday, Rice. Eos.
l ter, Estes and other white and ct,lored
, leaders, especially the first. He was
{ glad to see SO many present, and knew
that our citizens during the day and at
that time were engaged in entertain
ing guests from sister city. They
had now met to express their indigna-
ton at the conduct of the boilers.
Ihey were headed by the worst men
: in the party. He took ND Canaday
first, whom he denounced as a miser-
able scoundrel, vino was afraid to an
pear here tonight lest he might be
pc!ted with rotten eggs. Language
talled to express his contempt for the
man. He had heretofore denounced
him, and would continue to denounce
hlm as forger and fugitive from
justice. He could prove this. 1t was
about some cotton transaction, and
whenever the guilty wretch looked at
a cotton bale he blanched as white as
the cotton of which it was composed.
Now he had become se-hardened
and could stand without blushing
with all his crimes and corruption
hanging about him.
The Speaker next took up l.. E.
Rice. He had come here like Can
naday, III great poverty, carrying his
SHIRT III one hand and his pants in the
other; by sharp party management
ana sharp party practices he had risen
IA pecurlary affairs. The speaker re-
terred 10 Rice establishing the Cape
Fear Building Company, and the CON
sequent throwing so many cOlored me-
chanlrs out of employment. and had re-
duced the price of labor with all, All
who do not belong to this ring were
KEEP: out OF employment.
The speaker came back to Cannady.
| who also belonged to this ring, who.
II lie had his deserts would be wearing
stripped sult. He defended himself
against the charge of corruption in
the City Charter matter. This report
was gotten mp in the interests of the
Iolters, by some man like Rice, whose |
Chief BUSINESS was 10 sit in a back |
Office ana concoct lies.
lie knew Of the corruption of Can
naday long ago, but his magnapimitv
had kept him silent, but was now com |

who would yet go down to the lowest
he'll with a record of his lies and
forgery engraved on his forehead
Unlike Edgar A. Poe, who, wallowing
IN the dirt, heard pittying voice ex-
claim: There lies fallen star" Yes
replied the poet, But he still shines,
tfiokly covered with sin and crime to
emit one single ray of light. Poe's
came from debauchery.
would come, as they surely
would, from a corruption of all the
faculties that raised man above the
brute. Even the Democrats who used
him had no confidence in him.
Tie Mass Convention which was to
meet next day, was nothing but j.
Canaday Convention, for the purpose
of disorganizing the Republican party
and to defeat .ts nominees. Canaday
trie,. IL get into the regular Conyen, {
ton, but failed. He save Rice fifty
dollars to buy proxy from Fillyaw. a
poor ignorant negro. Rice found that
ili!yaw could be bought for five dol {
lars, SO yankee like, Rice pocketed the ,
fori five dollars. The Democrats could {
aud did buy Canaday with money, ;
but they could not disrupt the Repuh t
licsn party. j
The speaker next referred 10 Col. A.
NJ. Waddella ana while he had done
some t4l.,Ss he liked, denounced him {
for MS course III Congress as detri- {
mental to the best interests of the peo- '
pie. He was glad to believe that Col. | {
Mckay would defeat him. 1
Heatoh next repeated his huge Joke
about Judge Russell being "a grcat
man. H@"ton is always waggish when S
he comes to speak of this judicial Dog q
berry. lie passed the usual ecominm
On Russell. Not even the Wilmington 6
JOURNAL, with all the talent of its {
really able corps of editors, coula bring s
a stain upon his character. Nor | ,
could the Nyus. They could say
nothing against this pure, judicial ,
officer. this great Judge. We shall see
about that, HeatOn. Fps. Journal. J
Heaton then referred to the late
war; expressing the wish that all un-
pleasant FccUilections should be for Y
gotten, aud only those things recol- {
lectel which wonld shed honor ana / !
glory upon the American name, and !
serve tn re-unite the bonds Of union +,
between all aeetions.
by way of variety the speaker next
referred to Canaday as the tale end {
of infamy." His party would not re-
ccive two hundred votes, and after the I
9Th Of August even his deluded follow
nra wouid spit upon and curse him =
There was another miserable dog. who s
was making himself busy against the {
Regulars by the name Of RourI., who j.
in IA former contest SOLD o,,t 80 q 'mis- I

Another siguer q: ahs Boilers call,
