[ shall repeat elsewhere in the State.
SOME RICHMOND NEWS.
We are likely to have great deal Of
''muss' for some things that have beer
done in Richmond and some that are 60
ing to be done. 1 was in Richmond the
other day and friend said to mo that
was charged with the defeat Of the Judici
airy bill in the Senate. l said IF you
charge me with nothing worse than that i,
will not hurt"
THE SECRET OF THE CHANGE IN THE.
JUDICIAL DISTRICTS.
chance to know from friend some OF
the workings at Richmond. Besides the
one 'blg boss'' there are several little boss
es. One of my friends was approached
the other day to vote for the Judiciary
Bill He replied that he didn't think it

as it would retard the transaction of bust
ness You don It understand it, said the
little boss who had approached him, 1--WE
have no idea of keeping the number down
to twelve. We just want to pass the bill
that way; then wen put the number back
to eighteen They havn't the least idea
of reducing the number Of circuits for
economy; it is merely trick.
THE BOSSES AND THE RAILROAD coRPo-
RATIONs.
On the morning that the joint order flor
election of State offcers) was broken, |
drew up resolution and Senator New
berry offered it, to proceed with other leg
isative work. The bosses sent two men
to New York. where thsy staid eight days
working with railroad syndicate tha
wanted some favorable legislation IN Vir-
gini, to get them to operate on some men
to break the dead lock. 1t took right
strong team to do 1.-THE big boss, the lit
tie boss and the railroads.
THE wHIG,- RIDDLEBERGER AND THE
RAILROAD LOBBYISTS.
And this railroad legislation! wouldn 7
ask any batter fortune, it they will give
noe what will be put into the hands OF the
bosses by railroad legislation, and that is
the reason that day after dav the Who. i.
crying out against the presence of railroad
lobbyists. 1t is the cry of the thief with
the bag who cries 'sthief'' to divert public
attention. Why, when Rlddeberger was
making speech in the Senate, denouncing
railroad lobbyists, there were three of them
sitting there that he was cheek by jowl
with, and he only made that speech to
throw the public off.
WHERE THE TROUBLE WILL COME IN. (.
am not here to SOW discord in my par
ty, l am here to oppose ''bossism." Men
say to me sometimes that the boss has the
appointment of SO many men. So he has,
but for one applicant who gets an appoint
ment. there are ten applicants who don't
get it and who are not made friends Of
He can appoint your Commissioner of
S,les. Will That make friends of the peO-
pie? Are you and I going to be more
friendly to a man who.if we have friend
ly suit in court won't allow us to choose
our own commissioner and forces a parti
zan of his own unto whom we must pay
fees? And all this is done in the guise of
Liberalism. Liberty for Malone and
bondage for everybody else.
MIXED SCHOOLS.
Another proposition at Richmo md is that
every school trustee shall be removed and
some one else be appointed by the one man
p .wer. The man who introduced this bill,
said he wanted some colored men as trus-
tees. Before the election, l said every
where that no man wanted mixed schools
said it in this court house when those gal
leries were crowded with colored men and
they cheered the words. I said mixed
schools would never come. l cannot say
az much now. But can say that it will
never come with my consent.
GEN. MALONE
and myself have had no personal difficulty
and no unkind personal feeling. He may
think he is right, but as for Inc
l shall ever advocate Liberalism and OPP
pose petty tyranny.
THE AUDIENCE.
With this Mr.. Massey closed speech
which had lasted one hour and thirty-fve
minutes. There were, am told, flor am
not familiar with Albemarle audiences),
some prominent Readjusters in the house,
and some more who a1e not prominent, but
il was nothing liks what might be called
a ReHdjus' er gathering. The galleries con-
tai,pd probably some fifty colored peOrle;
the Democrats who did not appear at the
ringing of the Court House bell, but drop
ped in mainly after the speaker commence
ed, were quite undemonstrative, and in
fact an intense curiosity was the only
feature that distinguished their conduct
from the usual lecture assembly. 1t was
Chiefly this feeling that filled the Court
House and kept it full during the speech
apd 1t Is this feeling that will very likely
insure large audiences for Mr.. Massey at
all points in his tour through the State.
