SPEECHES.
About IL o'clock last night, the result
, having been fully ascertaiued, and the count
! ing.room Of the Dispatch being crowded,
General Bradley 7. johnson was called upon
| for speech. AS be mounted a chair TO re.
| spopd, three cheers were given for him with
unmistakabe heartpess and goodwill. He
thanked his friends and supporters most
handsomely, and congratulated them upon
scattering the black cohorts and saving. the
city for The Conservatives at the next muni-
cipal election.
A speech WIS next demanded OF Major Re.
bert Stiles, and in complying be stated that
threats and intimidations, conveyed In let
ters and otherwise, had been constantly
made against him and Judge Robert Ould
since it was known that they were for Gene.

ColoneI W. C. Darlington was also forced

johnson was elected, aud declared that
Z" Brad" was good enough for him. BE had

head since he fought in the army with him,
and year ago had Q political contest with

rious. General johnson then behaved so
magnauimously as to elicit his warmest ad-
miration.
MIR. Robert Thaxton, of Blair & Thaytop,
| 10 propounding some interrogatory to Colo
mel Darlington in order to show in stronger
| light than ever General Johnson's handsome
behavior on the occasion referred to, was
mistaken for an independent. He was com.
PEELED to mount the counter and explain
| himself, which he did satisfactorily.
General George j. Hundley, of the law
| firm OF g. c. Walker & Hundley, late
| senator from Buckingham county, now a
voter here, and Captain William F Drink
ard, assistant superintendent Of the City
Committee, also made remarks, congratu.

/ THREAT.
After every prop had been knocked from
under them, some Of the Independents, late
last night, came to the conclusion that they
bad been cheated. That is always the cry
of the defeated. If their ticket had been
| elec ted it would have been " the fairest cleo.
ton ever held or heard Of" As it is, they
feel compeled 10 furnish to their deluded
followers some excuse for not carry.
ing the election Mr.. Starke claimed
$500 majority at o'clock), as PROMISED.
| They say they were defrauded OF large
number Of votes at McDousaPs precinct, on
| Governor street. Should the opportunity
ever be presented, it is the belief OF many
| gentlemen representing both parties that
the Judges of that precinct will be able to
prove that in letter and spirit, to the fullest
| extent, justice and law was complied with
| by them.
| THE SUN AND SUBSTANCE
of Yesterdays work is this Over the com.
bined legions of the Independents and Radi-
| rails orr entire senatorial ticket has been
elected by between 100 and 175 majority.
All the Conservative nominees for the
| House in the city were elected without oppo.
sition.
It seems from our returns that Mr. H9n-
niger was elected by one vote. Figures 10
the bands Of other gentlemen, and somewhat
varying from ours, give the election to MI.
Bryan by small majority. The official re-
turns will probably be required to determine
the matter. Anyhow, all concur in the be-
lief that we have elected one OF the TWO
delegates from Henrico, and defeated
MIR. William Taylor, the champion Inde'
pendent of the rural districts. The county
was always considered doubtful, and the re-
suit though not altogether what the Con-
seryatives of the county desired, is ABOUT as
satisfactory as was counted upon. Messrs.
BRYAN and Hnniuger are both such excel
lent geutamen, and so well qualified to re-:
present the county. it will be matter OF
general regret that they both cannot get IN.
We herewith give the city vote for sena.
tors, and the county vote for senator's ana
delegates, and the aggregate votes OF tne
county and city for senators.
