ACCOMACK COUNTY.
AccoMACK COURTHOUSE, VA, !

Dear Dispatch To-day being County
Court, we raised our Democratic pole
ninety-tbree feet long, i'm which both Re-
adjusters and Funders took part. Under
the Hancock and English flag flies the Gar
rison flag, with "All OF Us for Garrison
inscribed on it, which is true. i really dc
not expect Judge Critcher Will get the nine
teen votes that Accomack gave him two
| wears ago, when he was seeking a seat in
Congress; and ii is more than probable that
Mr.. Wolff will lose some OF the Republican
vote, though, / know, he has Influential
| friends here.
The fact is, Judge Garrison Is recognized
as being the choice OF all OF our people. he
possesses broad and liberal views, and will
make a statesman, II only kept in Congress,
| that Virginia will be proud OF. He has
| filled the measure in every other position
that he has had, both In public and private
| life. He was our foremost lawyer when
elected Judge. Since then he has worn the
judicial ermine to the satisfaction OF all.
His even temper, kind, honest heart, and
! level head have won the love of all OF our
people. He has not mixed in party politics
except to vote always. Outside OF bis Of
fetal duties his time has been taken up with
his farm, and he is one OF our most success
jul farmers. He improves his land year by
year, and makes more clear money than
any one else; and his neighbOrs say "the
hardest man in the vicinity to keep up
WITH" so industrious and perseyering are
his efforts. IL any man was ever nominated
who was OF the people, and capable CT I'LL
lng in The highest degree the trust that he is
now called on to accept, 1t is Judge Garri-
son.
Judge Critcher, who received a nemina-
ton at Tappabannock on the 18th instant,
is here, and he and Judge Garrison had Il
discussion to-day, in which Critcher was
shown up as our chronic candidate for Con-
gress. He is a candidate with a nomina-
ton when any can be found to put him up,
and when not so fortunate he is a candidate
on his own hook. 1t is one OF his misfor-
tunes, and a great one, too, for so able man
to be always pushing himself forward. which
he has done until he is stale, fiat, and the
people tired Of him.
After the discussion by the congressional
candidates, Mr.. John +. Massey led of in
very plausible Readiuster debt speech,
and made quite good impression for a
time, but his speech was much too long,
and the people got tired OF II, and as they
were anxious to hear the other side. repre-
sented by that old Trojan, Guntcr, they be-
came restless during Mr. Massey's speech
(who would not consent to a fair division
Of time with Gunter). and, am sorry TO
say, interrupted Mr.. Massey and stopped
him in their yells for Gunter, and he was
only able to go on by Gunter's appeal to
the people to hear Massey out; but when
he bad finished, Gunter took The stand, and
IN his rough, honest, blunt way, poured hot
shot into Mr.. Massey from the beginning to
the end Of his speech, accompanied by the
wells and cheers OF the people.
We have numbers OF Readiusters, and
honest ones too, who are not following the
Malone split ticket, but will vote for the
regular ticket and Garrison, and are not
noD troubling themselves about the State
debt. Yours, E.S
