DISCUSSION BETWEEN AUDITOR MASSEY AND
GENERAL II. II. HURT.

GENERAL II. II. HURT.
Correspondence OF the Richmond Dispatch.l
Souri, Bosroy, September q, 1880.
When Auditor Massey reached our village
on Saturday evening IL was announced tnat
he would address our people and be replied
10 by General III. II. Hurt. Quite large
crowd assembled to hear these gentlemen.
Auditor Massey was introduced to our peo-
ple by Mr.. Phillips, chairman OF the Re
adjuster party for this county. He opened
the discussion in speech OF three quarters
OF an hour. IL was The same old story OF
the public debt of Virginia. He was either
iatigued with bis journey. or he felt from
the beginning that his audience was mol
with him. He did not come up to the ex-
pectation OF bis friends. and prepared bis
audience for the sxcorati0n be would re-
ceive at the hands Of General Hurt.
General Hurt is one oil the most popular
men in our county. His empty sleeve spoke
I'm eloquent and mute testimony OF the part
he bore i'm our late struggle. He was IA
miliar with the record OF the great Reid
ulster apostle in the Senate OF Virginia.
with telling effect he spoke OF his votes IN
the Senate, and ventilated bis record.
10 his opening speech Mr. Massey said he
had nothing to say against Garfield. when
he came 10 this General Hurt paused for
moment and looked over bis large audience.
Fellow-ctizens, nothing TO say OF Gar
field, a man who few weeks since said be
could not shake hands across the bloody
chasm; man who Is implicated in frauds
in Congress, a man who received brlbe OF
s5.OOO.v My pen fails to do justice to the
terrible excoriation the honorable Auditor
received 1t was crushing and oyerwhelm-
ing.
Mr.. Massey replied in speech OF fifteen
minutes, but he spoke as man who felt
that the battle is against him. Yes, the bat
tie is against him. The people are all right
Tor Hancock and English. The old cry,
Vox popuii, voz Del, will be heard through

CAPTAIN PHIL. M'KINXEY'S WORK IL THE
SOUTHWEST.
ICorrespondence OF The Richmond Dlspaich.l
SEPTEMBER 20, 1880.
Last evening we had the pleasure OF
hearing our elector, Captain Mckinney, adj
dress large audience at Wytheville. We
can't speak TOO highly in praise OF that gen.
tlelnan or his speech. 1t was just as the
people desire. It was bold, manly, but
kind and cOnciiatiug-not word to
wound or offend the most sensitiye-not
thought that his friends would have to eX-
cuse or explain. II was filled with no stale
Jokes or ribald ieSts, but it was the speech
of a statesman and an orator. He had en-
deared himself to our people last year, but
now he has made us all love aud admire him
more Than ever. have no time to give an
account OF his speech, nor have you the
SPACE to print If, but will simply say II
every man in the Southwest could have
heard it cur success here would be assured.
On Monday we hear that we scored a
grand day at Abingdon. Captain Mchin-
Dey and Captain Trigg, our candidate for
Congress, represented our party, and Col
onel Fulkerson and Captain Bailey repre-
scented the Readiusters. All agree that the
crowd was largely with us, and all things
indicate the election OF Tri2g. n great
change is taking place here. a few weeks
ago our best.iniormed people thought it
folly to nominate a candidate for Congress;
bat our chances improved so we deem it adj
vlsabIe; and now the prospects are so IA
voraOle that we think il our people will only
work the election Of the gallant Trigg is as
sured. We thank our committee for sending
Mckinney to this portion OF the State, and
nope he will be kept in the SOUTHWEST.

THE SECOND DISTRICT CHOOSES THE MAN WHO
NOMINATED "TuE SUPERB"
IPhiladelphia Times.l


NOMINATED "TuE SUPERB"
philadelphia Times.I
Daniel Dougherty, although not spoken
OF before Yesterday morning. went through
the Second congressional district like the
Hancock boom at Cincinnati. The Conven-
zion was held at the headquarters OF the
late County Committee, Broad street and
Penn Square, and was called to order by
William l.. Garrett, OF the Thirteenth Ward.
james f. Larkins, OF the Eighth Ward, was
elected permanent chairman. All along 1t
had been understood that W. W. Dumas
would receive the nomination. therefore a
sensation was created when Delegate Breen.
OF the Eighth Ward, presented the name OF
the siIyer-tongued orator, saying: "It is
our duty to nominate candidate who will
help to popuariZe the whole Democratic
ticket" Mr.. Dougberty received q votes,
IS were cast for W. W. Dundas, and Judge
Greenbank received votes. The nomina-
ton was made unanimous, aud committee
was appointed to carry the tidings to the
nominee.
Daniel Doueherty was born in this city in
1926 and admitted to the bar in 1S49, and
was early identified with the Democratic
party. In 1862 be was one OF the thirty
persons who founded the Union League.
he was prominent in the campaign for Lin
coins election and was active IN politics un-
Ill the war closed. His later connection with
the Democratic party began In 1876, when
he espoused the cause OF Samuel j. Tilden.
Tie has acquired national celebrity by his
nomination OF General Hancock at Cincin-
natl. Mr.. Dougherly was moi in the city
yesterday. The belief was generally ex-
pressed that he would decline the nomina-
ton.
