WHY DID THEY Do Irf-It was proposed
last week, when it became known that Daniel
and Cameron would meet in joint discussion
here ON yesterday, that the meeting should be
held in the Opera House, and the building was
secured. In the meantime, however, the Ma
honeites went to work and erected stand In
the Court-house yard; and refused to give their
consent that the meeting should be held in
the Opera House. When pressed for . reason.
they said the Democrats would have the hail
filled with ladies and children and there would
be ne room for them. However, when they
were promised that no ladies or children would
be admitted, they fell back upon the lame ex-
cuse that many Of their old men would not 60
to the Opera House. Whatever may have been
the reason, q plausible one has not been
given yet, and We are left to the presumption
that they did not want their followers to hear
Daniel in joint discussion with Cameron.

cy from the earth in 1879. It was the mock
democracy of funderism which we had swept
then. don't want it to go forth that have
not answered the question as to whether am
q democrat or not-and want these reporters
here to take down my words: said that I was
a democrat readjuster with liberal sentiments.
and that Maj. Daniel was democratic funder
and could explainihis own principles,
MOI. Daniel What party do you propose to
cooperate with?
Cbi. Cameron THE gentlemen is opposed to
packed counts, and yet 1t meets his idea to
have q packed count Of funders and to keep 1t
packed.
Col. Cameron then proceeded to draw pic

came to the front Of the stand with tho two

when the best men Of both races united. the
cause which they represented must prosper.

he was democratic nominee for the Senate ct

ont his invitation or previous knowledge these
colored men, agreeing with me, came to this

COL. CAMERoN's SPEECH.
Col. VIM. E. Cameron was introduces by Dr..
Robson, OF Messy Greek and said, 1 am not
/ here to appeal to your passons or to stir IN
your prejudice If could. IF had all the gifts
which Providence has showered upon my ad-
versary. would yet only attempt to place be-
fore you the issues.which properly belong to
this canvass. Maj. Daniel talks to yon about
prosperity, How glad You must be to know
how rich you are! But the dried up corn fields
and the tobacco hills of Eastern Virginia,
| with no plants in them, don't talk that way.
Doesn't it occur to you that II there 1t SO much
prosperity. Maj. Daniel as the champion Of
consistency ought not to be here advocating
8 per cent. platform-Maj. Daniel, the always
consistent man. who Is as unalterable as the
stars in the armament until q big comet In the
shape Of questionable nomination comes
along 1t isn't the first time that funderism
has tramped around andtalked about prospre-
ity. They told you in 1879 that there was
money enough to keep up the government, to
sustain the schools and to establish sinking
fund. We had to fight then, and the people
swept this funder party from the face OF the
earth. We got into the basement offices in
Richmond, and we found the great wealth OF
the State Imaginary. We found there . cop
perplate already prepared under which the au-
ditor was to issue tax receivable certificates to
borrow money and pay per cent. month.
This copperplate business II going to be ignored
BY my opponent. MAI. Daniel won't have time
to answer 1t. he has to pick ont salient points
In my speech-and this wont be one OF them.
