THE REJoINDERs
were spirited, and set the friends of each OF
the speakers wild with delight.
Bumgardner wanted to know who had put
John Wise in the field and read the pledge al
legged to have been signed by the Readjuster
members of the last General Assembly. These
are lovely specimens he said, of the manliness
and independence ofthis party that now claims
to be the champions of free ballot. He de-
clared that he intended to vote for Massey not
on account of his past record or present views
on the subject of the State debt, but because if
elected Massey would vote with the Democrats
in Congress. and Wise would not In closing
be apostrophized the Northern Democracy and
its alliance with the Southern wing.
Allen in reply denounced the Conservative
Democracy of Virginia, as party without
principle and ready to grasp any expedient
that would lift it IN place. They have an
nounced no platform of principles, and are
reply was particularly good the last ten or fif-
teen minutes being terrific forensic assault

forces were in full feather. Indeed it seems
that those forces are growing in strength and
aggressiveness with every court-day. They
are pressing forward with an enthusiasm
which seems wholly lacking in their opponents,
and which if 1t continues will shake Augusta
the citadel of democracy-to its very
foundation stone At the very least, the major
ity of the whole audience on Monday was
favorable to Allen, and some judges placed it
at three to two Once during his address Allen
said that he had yet to find Democrat who
would acknowledge that he intended to vote
for Massey. He had no doubt that there were
some but he would just like to know who they
were. at that the Democrats took up the
shout for Massey, and Capt. Bumgardner lead
the column In rising to. their feet Thus it was
that fair opportunity was afforded to Judge
who were the Massey men. About one-fourth
of the audience on the lower floor held I'D
their hands; of the other three quarters we
judge that two-quartels were Coalitionists and
one-quarter Democrats. In other words, the |
lower floor was about equally divided between |
the two parties. In the rear of the gallery |
about the same proportions were Observable
whilst the wings of the gallery were filled with
colored voters, the last one of whom were for
Allen.
The discussion was conducted with good
feeling, the utmost courtesy being observed
between the speakers. There were few inter-
ruptions, and such as occurred were promptly
suppressed by the friends of both sides. Indeed
the day was in such marked contrast to last
court day that we cannot refrain from congrat-
ulating the people of the county upon return
to their old time decorum.
