GAINESVILLE, Va, Sept. l9, lS76.-Mr
M. II. Wells, the democratic canvasser tor this
county, was to have addressed the people at this
place Saturday. upon the important issues in-
volved 10 the presidential campaign, but owing
to the ndispositon of that gentleman, his place
vas ably filled by Messrs. Chichester and Love,
of this county.
An attempt to give description Of these
speeches would be doing an injustice to these
gentlemen. They reviewed the platforms of
the two parties-one Of which contained not a
word of reform, while the other was retreuch-
meut and reform in all of the branches. They
depicted the gross frauds aud corruption OF
every department of the Government, and the
iycrease of the national expenditures.
These are few of the leading topics discuss
ed, with DO purpose to convey to your readers
even faint conception of the force OF the
speeches. but more particularly toioform them.
At the conclusion of their remarks the people
Immediately formed themselves into a Tilden
aud Hendricks club with j. B. Coleman acting
as temporary president, and q. u. Sledge, sec
rotary. The meeting went into partial eec-
