The Conservatives OF this city had glo-
rious rally at the Academy Of Music last
night. The large building was crowded,
the galleries being filed with colored peo-
pie. II was one OF the most enthusiastic
meetings OF the campaign In this city. The
unfayorable election news from ONO ana
Indiana, instead OF dampenIng the spirits
OF our Democratic citizens, seems rather
TO increase their ardor and determination
Ia work more earnestly for the success OF
the Democratic candidates and principles.
The speakers were Hon. John Goode,
who spoke yesterday In New Kent county,
and who arrived in the city late IN 'ibt
evening, on his way to Prince George
where he Is to address the citizens 4 thai
county to-day; and Captain G. A.. Bohan
non, OF Richmond. Major Cnarles s.
StringfeIlow presided over the. meeting,
and gracefully and eloquentlT introduced
the orators. Mr.. Goodies e,peech was in
his very happiest strain, ard was delivered
with telling effect. Captain Bohannon's
was a mastery and convincing argument
in support Of Democratic principles. His
arraignment Of the Readjusters, and ex.
posure OF the inconsistencies OF their lead.
ers. was powerful one.
