The Valley Virginian. [volume] (Staunton, Va.) 1865-1895, 1880-09-16

should be the last man to enter the lists agains
the readjuster party, as his State had openl.
repudiated its debt. His reply TO the read
juster was:
North Carolina has repudiated her deb
but she has never repudiated her democracy
As usual, Gov Vance interlarded his speecl
with apt and funny anecdotes, many Of which
considering that large proportion of the au
d1ence were ladies, could, with propriety have
been omitted. His speech was entertaining anC
kept his hearers in good humor, but there
was not single proposition announced by
him that could not have been successfully as
sailed. The recklessness of both GOV. Vance
and Mr.. Ellis speeches was surprising. They
either assumed that their audience was igno
rant OF the most prominent facts ofthe nations
history, or that it was too partisan to care to
what extent truth might be sacrificed to serve
the necessities of party.
Now this meeting was called and these spea-
kers imported that harmony might be brought
into the ranks of the distracted Virginia demo
crazy. The result was encouraging in marked
degree. No sooner had Gov. Vance taken his seat
than Judge Allen, the funder candidate for Con-
gress, was called, and in response said that he
hoped the pending compromise scheme would
succeed. He then retired and cries were made
for Paul. AS the redoubtable Knight of Rock
ingham mounted the stand the funders tried to
boot him down, yelling and screaming in a
most discourteous manner. Paul lit into them
lively, and the atmosphere round about began
to get warm The funders were screaming
and swearing and the readjusters returning
the compliment with interest. Pretty soon
there was fight behind the stand, and then
Judge Harris and Mr. r. Skinner made pass
or two at each other, without doing much
harm, for the police and numerous friends
were promptly on hand. Judge Allen mount
ed the stand again, but the confusion was so
great that he could not be heard, and then j.
N. Liggett, was called to the front, but the
political waters were dashed into such fury
that everything was drowned in their roar.
Meade F. Whites name was next sounded.
That gentleman promptly responded, and was
just proceeding to give a short biographical
being very poor boy, when another row oc-
Cured, and in our desire1 10 witness the pugi-
listic politics, we lost the run of the Grafton.
The row was nipped in the bud, but by the
time we had gotten back to the stand, Mr.
White was concluding and the meeting was
about at an end.
AS grand reunion of the Tenth Legion
Democracy the meeting was not a success
AS the occasion for the Staying of the fatted
veal, and return of the erring prodigals, it was
:. decided failure. The readjusters who were
present were tenfold more bitter against the
iunders at the close of the speaking than when
it commenced. The abuse heaped upon them
and the attempted bull doing of their leader,
seemed to intensity their hatred of funderism.
The breach between the two wings of the
Democratic party in Rockingham was mate
rally widened by the proceedings of Friday.
A few more such demonstrations will place
range of possibility.
