Points on Paul.

A Fluyanna correspondent OF the wing
states that aReadj uster speaker in that
county bad intimated to Hon. II. G. ALLEN
that he was afraid to meet Mr.. PAUL. in pub.
lie discussions. To let the people see now
much truth there is in the intimation, we
copy from the Spectator few paragraphs
concerning the discussion which took place
at stanton last Saturday night between
Messrs. PAUL and ALLEN:
II the political term '' skinning" was ever
applicable or justitiabe ii would certainly
be so oDithe occasion OF the speaking at the
Opera.EIouse on last Saturday night, when
Paul chased up here in the evening to meet
Judge Allen, the Democratic nominee for
Congress in this district. Never before
have we seen the political cuticle so deity,
skilfuiiy, aud effectuaIIy removed as it was
done bF Judge Allen. and the large audi
ence present hugely enjoyed and applauded
the operation. Paul bore the infliction
brayely, and had some sympathy shown
for him. but he himself saw in the very be-
ginning OF his remarks that the audience
we've waiting for the operation, and 1t ne
cessarily somewhat dampened his ardor and
tanned down his vociferous style. Even his
strongest appeals in behalf OF the " dear
people" fell fiat, stale, and unapplauded,
which he had on some occasions found 10
create SO much enthusiasm, and evidently
missed the 'Rah-for-Paul boys Of Har-
risonburg. ln fact, when we think OF it,
we did not hear this favorlte slogan SCUM d.
ed once dnBing the evening.
The discussion was entirely courteous,
the audience good.humored, pleased, de-
lighted, and thoroughly attentive aud re-
spectful to Soth speakers.
We give, Cor the use OF other Democratic
speakers, some Of the points made against
PAUL BY JaAae ALLEN:
When this same party In the Legislature
was about te,eiect Purvis Judge OF Abe
marie, agaipt whom his own party made
charges, and aGiinvestigatIOn was ordered,
Paul said let's have no Investigation; these
charges are nothing but Funder lIes-iet's
elect him.
He mr.. Aslenl had favored reimbursement,
and when the MeCulloch bill was offered
voted for it, because 1t was fair measure OF
adjustment. For his position on this bill he
referred 10 House .JournaI OF the Legisia-
tuSe, 1877-'7S, pagei6s2. When the Bocoek-
Fowler bill was before the Legislature, there
was an amendahnt TO At looking TO the sup
pots OF the pub&iciiree schools. Paul had

Before the McCuioah bill was passed. the
Heukle school tell ia Eunder bin was
passed, and. IL Is Gnder that bill that the
public schools are nav receiving their
money. Paul oppoedltbe bill, and lodged
the votk on II when Al passed the Senate.
On thar Gay he was 6Awnat Mozart Hail.
He stood upon the Democratic platform,
and had sIways been Is favor Of supporting
the public free schools, and~se much was he
