THE SPEAKING.
The grand parade of the Clubs being over,
about one thousand persons we're shortly as
sembed around the stand erected for public
speaking. Hon. f. Blrksdale, Chairman Of
the State Executive Committee; Hon. Il. j.
Catchings, candidate for Attorney General !;
Capt. Davenport, Chairman County Execu-
tive Committee; Col. Geo. Torrey, Capt
Put Darden, DR.. Harding, an old patriot OF
81 years, and others, occupied the stand.
The first orator was Master Edward By
ron OGwin, aged about seven years, who
delivered neat poetic introduction to the
proceedings, and gracefully yielded the
stand "to those more skilled in oratory."
Major Barksdale was then introduced,
and for an hour and three quarters enlisted
the attention of his large audience while he
reviewed the period of Radical rule its
complete overthrow in 1875, the triump oh In
1876 and the relief which our people had
already realized by the change. He paid
his respects to Independents and disorgani-
zers OF every class, and this part Of his
speech was received with special applause.
His remarks to the large number of col
ored men present, were well received by
that class, who manifested their approval i'm |
frequent applause.
Mr.. Catchings was the next speaker, and |
in an eloquent and forcihe style discussed |
the issues Of the canvass in a speech Of forty |
minutes, The currency question, the in
reduction of immigration and capital, the
school question, and other vital topics,
we're all discussed in a mastery manner.
Radical falsehoOds were dissected, and the
of the Democracy to the Con-
titution, and to every pledge made the col
red people, was confidently asserted and
loquently maintained. Mr.. CatchinRs
made decidedly good impression on his
carers, and the laconic "he'll do" uttered
y an attentive listener near me, indicated
he general appreciation ofhis speech.

1ittee had been appointed to draft resolu-
