The daily dispatch. [volume] (Richmond [Va.]) 1850-1884, 1881-10-01

Nr. Tucker said the Conservatives Of
Virginia stand aligned with the National
Democratic party. And with whom do
our opponents stand slignedi
Colonel Cameron had said on one occs-
'ion ~ sm not Democrat and am not
At Lexington Nr. Tucker
heard him say 81 am a Democrat and am
: Republican" which gave our gallant
leader, Major Daniel, the opportunity 10
Tittily reply, "Thsn you are both and you
srs neither"
OF MshoHe's senatorial record Mr.. Tuck
ar spoke at some length. He voted for
Morrill,, Of Vermont, for chairman Of the
Finance Committee over Tom Bayard;
Morrill, opposed the reduction Of the tax
on tobacco and Bayard favored ii. lie
voted for Kellogg over Lamar. The whole
power OF the Senate he threw into the
lsndS Of the Republicans. "What for"
.sid Mr.. Tucker, 81 don't know; never
acsrd. But there is
STRONG CIRCUHsTASIIAL IyIDEECg.
General Malone was counted on the COM
nittees with the Republicans. And yet
there wasn't word passed between theml
Maybe there Wssn't!"
Dir. Tucker then pictured young lady
and young man, on moonlight night,
sitting beneath a trec-the young man
pressing his suit and her hand, and
she pulling back-but not much-snd not
a word being spoken. lie didn't know
hat that was coSlition," but what he did
know was that there was some cahoOt about
il flaughterl, and 4 coalition would prOba-
bly, be the result. Such thoughts Of CO.
2lition came TO him, too, when he saw Gen
erSl Malone voting Republicans in place
aud getting some OF the places-four he

doth bcstride the world like Colussuf."
Mr.. Tucker mads point Of the prominent
part Malone took In pushing Gorham for
clerk Of the Senate and Ii. II. Riddeber-
ger for scrgc2nt-2t-aTms, and ne had Gene
rsl Nahone's word for il that General Ma
hone was responsible for the introduction
Of RiddlcbcTgcr's name. After reviewing
all these facts with mingled humOr and ST.
rious argument Mr.. Tucker said, "upOn
this circumstantial evidence, gentlemen of
the Jury [laughterl, ask a verdict OF guilty
1t your hands" That WAS
ONE PART OF THE BARGAIN.
General Malone giving power into the
hsuds Of the Republicans. There is an
other part. l don't believe it was true Of
the late Administrstion-of my dead friend
James A. Garfield-but il il said to be true
Of the new Administration, that il will
throw it, influence in favor OF the Re
ldjusters. Let them come; well beat them
All. [Great cheering.l What does it mean
that syndicatcs and bankers in the North,
the people who constitute the web and
wool OF the Republican party, have de-
serted their great principle, and now adyo-
cate reputation in Virginiay II means an
attempt to break the solid South. IL means
the formation OF
HYBRID PARTY
in the South; a party with all the vices
and none OF the virtues OF either parent.
I. John +. Lewis, who voted TO put Nir-
ginia in the power Of the President and TO
tsEc away the writ Of hdbedS COrpuS-is he
to be voted for by any Democratic Virgin
ian? And Ar. Cameron, with the ink
hardly dry upon his paper, where he said
that any white man who would desert his
race in order TO gain place wss-l don't
know What-was Cameron. Laughter.l
kr. Tucker further cOntendcd that the
coI,ition was thing that no decent Re
and 10 decent Democrat could
support; that General Wickhsm was con-
si,tcnt in his Republicani-m in prcierring
Daniel to Cameron.
TO consideration Of
THE PUBLIC DEBT
Nr. Tucker came "with feeling Of wea-
rincss," but be nevertheless made il an in
tcresting subject, showing how the debt
WAS contracted, where the assets now are,
how two thirds has already been appOr-
Toned TO West Virginia, and how the
RddebergeT bill would spportion two
thirds 10 West Virginia again. how
useless il is for RiddlebeTger 10 rely
ON the care Of Snegd against Tennessee,
aud how quickly the courts will put check
10 the Riddlebergcr bll should il ever be-
come law, and how Auditor Massey and
his party are claiming credit for successful
management OF State finances, which are
Aolely due 10 the laws Of a Funder Legisls-
lure and TO the constitutional amendments,
and particularly 10 the savings IN interest
made by the HcCullOch bill.
Further on he produced figures from the
census showing that Virginia is not getting
poorer. No, said he, the Eiddleberger bill
can't be carried into effect. The case OF
Snead Us. Tennessee won't do for them.
There the right OF DldnofdmuS came after
the contract was made.
The case here is different. The writ OF
mqndqmuS existed when the funding bill
was passed and Was part OF the contract
there, and therefore the attempt OF the
Riddiebcrger bill TO repeal the writ Of
mandamuS will be futile. The creditors
are entitled 10 the writ or an equally eiii-
cient remedy. Do they offer An equally
good remedy? All, then, Mr.. Riddle
berger, what do YOU make by il? How
are YOU going to force the creditor in?
Either the law is insufficient for the OBJ
stIuction of the creditor, or il sufficient
for that purpose, will not be taken rs u
fair substitute for the writ OF mdnddmuS.
Nr. Tucker also exposed the prctensions
OF the Readiusters in relation to
FREE BALLOT
and fair count, and showed where fraud
had been practiced--if anywhere in Nir-
ginia, passing on 10 the public-schoOl
question and the charge against Major Dan
iel, said that Daniel had so well stamped
that out that he OR. Tucker need not say
anything about il.
Dir. Tucker closed in glowing appeal to
all true sons OF Virginia 10 come together
now and carry our ticket TO victory, and
thus secure the prosperity OF Virginia.
[Applause.l =,
Mr.. Tucker spoke an hour and a half,
and did not touch point that he did not
illumine. His speech was full OF informa-
tion and devoid Of personal attacks, and
vet was decisive in presenting the enormi-
ties OF reGdinsterism, and was resplendent
With humor and pathos.
HON. GEORGE D. WISE
