THE ISSUES OF THE CAMPAIGN
[Lynchburg, Va, August H. Maj.
Daniels return to his home in this city
was celebrated to- night by grand pop.
meeting at the Opera House. The prin-
cipal streets were lighted, and process
sion made up of various military and
civic bodies marched through them
amidst immense enthusiasm and re-
peated cheers. The Opera House held a
greater audience than ever before met in
it, including many hundred ladies, and
the feeling was beyond description en-
thusiastic.
The platform and ticket of the con-
vention having been ratified, Maj. Dam
iel was called for and made q response
covering the leading points of his CAM
vass. He was especially severe on Col.
Cameron's declaration that he meant to
carry Africa into the war, and said that
he, Daniel, as q justice of the peace,
meant to prevent any war and to MAIN
tain justice between races. He declared
himself in favor of the free schools and
promised as Governor to exercise strict
equity between white and black, to en-
force all the laws and 10 see that the
colored citizen as voter and Juror was
protected in all his rights. These senti-
ments were loudly applauded.
Gen. Jubal A. Early, in a ringing
speech, interpreted with many humor4
GUS passages, closed the exercises of the
evening. The whole section is full OF
conservative confidence and enthusi-
aSm.
