these: Paul 10 open with speech OF on'
hour. followed by Allen with speech o.
the same lengths Paul was to have hall
hour 70 respond and Allen the same, Pau
closing with third speech OF fifteer
minutes. The Senator was introduced a.
the candidate OF the ReadiusIer party, ant
Allen as the regular nominee OF the Demo
cratic party.
SENATOR PAUL
said the man who introduced him was &C
CITRATE in saving that he was the candidate
of the Readjuster party OF the State-that u.s.
he was the candidate OF the peoples party
Alien was the Funder candidate, and be
was going to show that be was not on the
Democratic plaiform-he was a Bourbon o
the intense kind. He PauD was Demo
crat, and nominated before Allen; why di0
YOU addressing Ailen) put second ticker
in the field? The last thing he (Alien
wanted to see was Democratic principles

Flinders, was to be different in this cam
paign from those of the last. Then the Re
adiuster party was held up 10 the world as
q party composed of poor-wbile trash and
mean negroes; its members were the rag
tag and bob-tai OF society. wolfgangers. and
regulators. There will be nothing OF tbi.
kind in the present campaign. Allen
will be as soft as a May morning
His cooings will rival those OF q
loye-sick boy OF sixteen. You say you
are under the flag OF Democracy address
ing AlIen)-where did you get your
Democracy Did you vote the Democratic
ticket before the war? In 1879 the Fundei
faction said no man who did not get square
" on the brokers' bill should ever be part
or parcel OF The Democratic party. That
faction was crushed out, and yet 1t claims
10 be the Democratic party. When the
Funders put their electoral ticket in the
field they attempted TO fool Readiuster men.
WHY did they not wait and consider the
great matters now before the people. New
Jersey and other States have not yet put
their electors out. Why this haste here
The only Readjuster put on the Funder
electoral ticket was Mr.. Redd, who last
winter, in Richmond, cussed out Re-
adjusters and readiustment because he
failed to receive a ludgeship. Allen Will
talk about the Republicans in the 7th-of-
| July Convention, but which convention
represented the views OF the people! The
great Democratic party issued call for
convention OF fifteen hundred, and two
hundred only were present. The Re-
adjuster party called for convention OF
six hundred and twenty-five, and six hum
dred were present.

Paul: There were $40 Conservatives.
ANY body else want to ask question? AL
len will give you Robert Norton's history.
Had he voted for the Allen amendment he
would have been good niger. He stood
by the Readjusters when the Funders
were trying to make General Wickham
United States senator. He voted against
the brokers' bill The Funders claim that
nothing good can come from corrupt
source. / will show you that what seems
sometimes a pure source is anything else
but pure. Let us contrast the two electoral
tickets, and see who are pure. Echols (he
is not around making politicii speeches; is
he afraid to have his political record inyes-
tigated y
A Voice: Come to the point.
Paul: charge him with agreeing to COM
bine with Norton to elect General Wick
ham. / repeated my charge when his son
was present on the stand, and it was not
denied.
And Mr.. Frank Mcmillan, of Green.
A Voice lie is good man.
Where did he stand in the last campaign !!
The Voice (repeating): McMuIlan'sa good
man.
He stood out against good man, Massey.
A Voice: Massey is not good man.
Mr.. Mcmillan advised Republicans to
vote for Early, and Democrats TOO, but re-
| fused to vote
MR. MMULLAN HERE STEPPED UPON THE STAND
amid great applause.
Mr.. Mcmillan: do not think that Cap
tain Paul wants to misrepresent me, but he
has. | did not vote for either Early or Mas
sey; nor did tell all the whites to vote for
the latter. II had been a Republican,
agreeing with him on the debt question,
should have voted for Early. Whilst Early
was a Republican, opposed to the Demo
cratic party, Mr.. Massey Is trying to break
up that party, and so voted for neither.
Paul resumiDg): His answer shows the
difficulty people get in when they try to
run two tickets. Then there is Mr.. Hill
Carter. who voted against the Democrat.
What claims have you TO being called the
Democratic party? Now you say come
back 10 us. After these people were so badly
defeated one would suppose they would
stand back and let the majority rule. But
you say we the minority must rule. Did
you ever hear of an army that had cap,uerd
fort giving up to the prisoners the affairs OF
the army? Why, they are as far behind
now as they ever were. They know they
can't carry the State for the 19lh-of-May
ticket. The State and Dispatch are talking
about compromise. DO you ever hear Re-
adjusters az thaty They mean TO carry the
State for Hancock and English.
You lAllen9 don't stand on the Cincinnati
platform l do. My Convention put me
there. l don't know about Allen.
DO Won know that be denies the paternity
OF the Allen amendment? He wasn't con-
tent to have the brokers bill sadded on the
people; be Went further, and proposed an
amendment 20 1t that made 1t more odious
than before. file here coDtrasted this
amendment and the Riddleberger bill,
claiming that the effect of the RlddIeberger
bill would be to kill ofAhe coupon. and the
effect OF the Allen amendment would be to
put premium on it, II WON'T do to say
that the Readjusiers supported the Allen
even II they did vote for IL.
That didn't mean that they were in favor Of
It, They could vote down tue amended

They say we are not on the Cincinnati
platform. That platform declares III favor
OF free schools. All the Funders OBJ posed
the Massey school bIl-all OF them.
Allen: Ivoted for it.
