,hs ss,,e cn,,rse there would have been no
Convention at Cincinnati, ana you Know
it. The fact Is, you were no. D.nnocI,'s
until you found that orant "ou,u no. DC
thc nominee. This 7tli-ol-Juiy CONVENTION
Was not Democratic, rs can pe seen Iroul
nresiden,i,, election was OF secondary i'm
portance, and If Garfield and Afthur's eIec-
ton would bring about an aoVantageous
state Of things for Readiusters ne woh'd
vote for them. IL,
as a Rezdjuster, but can't DO u again II 'na'
is true.
Those are his words as reported by the
Richmond Wing.
And now, in conclusion, II the Nationa'
Democratic party must ne inlured--n tue
good ship OF Democracy must go down py
the broadsldes from her open enemies ana
by the work OF these mutineer scuttiers-
lust so sure as truth Is truth IL VIII rise
again.
SENATOR PAUL
arose TO reply The ship OF Funderism Is
sinking, Is Il? Yes, we intend 10 SINK u so
rleep and weight 1t down so heavily with
Fundcr carcases that 1t will never rise
again. There is something noble In bold
mutiueer. but not in deserter. Rather
than stand as this man does | would prefer
to be dead, and remembered as man who
stood bravely by the people. How many OF
the Funders stood up for Hancock Three.
Harry RiddIeberger came out for him two
months before. How this mans soul now
pants for the discussion OF national issues.
or course, sir, you are sick OF State issues;
but we are in the habit OF doing what our
enemies do not want us to do. You want
to be resurrected, but we can't acquiesce.
He says stood OH the BOcock-Fowler biz.
was no special advocate OF it. We took II
because we could get nothing better. There
is hardly more dangerous piece OF iegisla-
ton TO be named than the Allen amend
ment. Allen says he Is not its author, and
] believe him. Hugh McCulloch wrote 1t
as wei as the brokers' bill. He put it in
Writ Henry's hands; Henry put 1t in Al
lens hands; Allen afterwards modified it.
Henry bad got sick Of it, and was unwilling
to go TO the record again as paterniziDg
such an iniquitous measure. He found Allen
willing to do so. Notwithstanding that we
elevated him to the speakership. he went
back on Us. and refused to go into the Mo-
zart-ilall affair.
/
Congress. Twill say that was approached
prior to the 7th-of-July Convention and told
that il | would refuse to support the 7th-of'
July ticket would have walk-oyer in this
disirct-no man would dare oppose me. |
said, No You have mistaken your man. /
never 90 back on the people. | shall die a
brave man fighting for them.
He says ] voted for the whipping-post
law. So did he.
JUDGE ALIENS REPLY.
did not vote for that law. as the Journal
OF the House will show. Your committee
reported that bill. | objected to it because
il gave the Court no discretion as TO whether
the sentence might be committed.
did leave The party at the Mozlrt Hall
because could not favor organizing party
to break down the Conservative party Of
Virginia.
Hon. S. +. Leake (interrupting) Does
Mr.. Paul want to elect Hancock or Gar
field?
mir. Paul did not reply.]
Dir. Allen continuing: Mr.. Paul voted for
the capiiation tax in 1876. He got Rocking
ham to vote for it by large majority. He
wasn't running for Congress then. He
wasn't in need Of the negro vote then. Sup
pose Democratic ReSdiusler negro runs
for Congress, would Paul support him !?
No! Go way, niger.
The amendment again: II Mr.. Paul bad
said the extra session was continuation OF
the regular seSsion-the one expired Tues
day night and the other was called the next
day-be would have been frank.
He voted, he says, for the Bocock-Fower
bill because 1t had no coupons. IL is known
that he favored the issue Of coupons by the
Town Council OF Harrsonburg. How did
it come about that he so soon learned how
to denounce them!
was elected Speaker on the Conserva-
tive platform on which Holiday had been
nominated. No plan WIS yet formulated
for the settlement OF the debt. / voted for
the Barbour bill. 1t was vetoed. The ma
jority Of those who voted for me are now
cooperating with me in this presidential
campaign. Am | traitor because | refuse
TO go with you IN your attempt to break
down the Conservative party! With what
party will you affiliate In Congress, II elect
ed? You can answer that without refer
ring 10 Malone. Do you want Hancock to
succeed Would you vote for the 19th-Of-
MAY ticket if you knew that opposing it
would defeat the election of Hancock? If
the support OF your electoral ticket would
elect Hancock, and an honorable cOmpro-
mise could be made, would vote for it.
PAUL's THIRD SPEECH.
Ii you want a compromise, why take
your ticket out of tue field. am not hunt
ing a compromise when victory is certain.
At all times shall obey the behcsts of my
party in convention assembled. AS to Con-
gress, ! shall 20 where Virglnla's interest
calls. As TO the poll-taX, will you take me
who says a man should vote whether his tax
is paid or not, or the man who would au-
thorize the Auditor to borrow money at
over per cent. per annum TO pay the In
terest on the State debt?
THE MEETING OF THE HANCOCK CLUB MONDAY
NIGHT.
This Club met Monday night, and not
a heavy rain was falling the
was filled. Hon. +. NJ. Nc
Mullan, OF Greene. addressed the Club. and
was followed by Hon. John II. Harris in
good-humored address Of more
than an hour.
| find that some OF the candid Readjusters
admit that Paul came out second best in the
discussion with Allen.
The Republicans held meeting 10 con-
slider the expectancy OF making a nomina-
lion for Congress in this the Seventh dis
Irict. Resolutions favoring nomination,
aud calling on the counties OF the district
10 send delegates 10 Republican mass
meeting to be held here September 18th for
The purpose OF placing nominee in the
field were presented. The meeting adj
Ourned without coming to vote on them. |
One of the prominent members OF this !
meeting has Just told me that another meet
ng is to be held probably Tuesday night, |
when these resolutions will certainly be |
adopted. DUP.
