fCOTes p0ndence OF the Richmond Dispatch.J
OAK Row, September ., 1881.
A respectable crowd. composed OF citi-
zens OF This and the adjoining county OF
WestmorelOnd, assembled here to day to
hear the much.heralded Paul and DR.. w.
W. Douglass aud Senator w. Mayo, who
for number OF DAYS have been advertised
to speak az this place MeSsrs. Paul and
Mayo arrived on the ground early, and soon
afterwards Mr.. w. A. Jones, Conservative
canvasser for this district, made bis appear
ance snd demanded a division OF time. II
YVES sgreed that there should be a joint dis
cussion between Messrs. Paul and Jones,
Sut when the terms OF the discussion came
TO be settled MFR. Paul claimed the right 10
bOlh concluding speeches. This Nj. JOnes's
friends objected to. unless Mr.. Paul would
agree 10 take on Monday next, at Warsaw,
the terms be offered to-day, which MIR. Paul
promptly declined. Mr.. Jones then offered
10 allow him lPaull 10 open in an hour, be
lJ0nesl 10 follow in the same time, and
Paul 10 close the discussion IN speech
Of one-half hour. or Uice Uersd, which
proposition Mr.. Paul declined, saying be
could not vary his usual terms. IL then
became evident that the Readiusters ala
not intend 10 show Mr. Jones fair play, ana
his friends informed Mr.. Paul that he could
speak when he GOT ready and that Mr..
Jones would speak when be got through
10 oil who chose 10 remain. 1t was very
evident that the crowd was with the Con-
SeTYatyes, and intended TO bear Mr.. Jones
out. as some said, "lf it took all night"
and so Messrs. Paul aud Mayo, after loung--
ing around all day, like the Arabs, folded
their tents aud silently stole away. Inc
crowd was disappointed and complained
loudly about having been brought out from
their homes for nothing, and the universal
sentiment was that the valiant Paul, VINO
"showed up GoOde ".tUide wig bad made
asquare back down. 1t was good day
for Conservatism, and proved that silence
is sometimes more eloquent than speech
The writer frequently heard the remark
INDUCED in that Mr. Mayo had whispered
into Paui's ear the result Of the meeting al
Warsaw week previous. where Mr.. Jones
so effectively met Captain Frank Blair.
