| Justice Harlan, of the Supreme Court, on
the train, and that Judge Ell. had said to
him that the U. s. Supreme Court was
| heartily tired of hearing the misinterpre-
| tations that had been placed on its decis-
ion in the case of Tennessee Us Snead.
and was anxious for case to come be-
fore it, in deciding which the court might
give the true meaning of its decision in
that case. The true meaning, Judge Allen
inferred from the tenor of all previous de
cisions of the Supreme Court would be to
let loose the damned up coupons on Viz
ginia, the flood would lower their price,
the revenue of the State will be diminish
ed, and there will have to be an increase
of taxation to meet the deficit. Judge A.
regretted this as much as any one, but in
the face of former decisions of that court,
he looked for nothing else.
Judge A. showed to his audience the
certainty of the next House Of Represen-
tatives being Democratic, and told them
if they wanted to send man who could do
them any good they had better send a DEM
ocrat, for Paul would be with the minori-
ty "for Arthur" and wouldn't be able to
help himself, much less somebody else.
He said Massey was called by the Ar
thur men traitor! No man in history
who had ever raised his arm to strike down
a tyrant but was damned as traitor
Great Appla USE
Judge Allen spoke throughout his speech
of Governor Cameron as ''our Stalwart
Republican Governor.
Col. Q 'FerraV spoke Dext, and with his
usual vim went straight at Paul'S record.
He cast his first vote in congress for the
Force Bill Republican candidate for Speak
put that at Paul on the stump, Paul asked,
Would you have me vote for a man who
had abused Readjusters?' Then, said o.
Ferrall. 81 asked him why he had voted for
BrownIow the Tennessee Radical, over Gen
Field an ex-Contederate. who had never
abused Readiusters, (Great Applause), but
I got no answer He then went over
Paul's record, showing that he always
voted with the Republicans. Out of 224
roll calls in Congress, Paul was absent at
"a, about one-third; but whenever the Re-
publicans had determined to cut off
Democratic head, Paul was never absent.
but answered up prompt on time. Paul
didn't vote for the bill to abolish the In
ternal Revenue tax system, but he did
vote for the bill to take the tax off per-
fumery, matches, playing cards, bank
checks, etc.
Explaining the necessity of. his adares
sing crowd without his competitor be-
ing present, Col. O'Ferrall said, she had
challenged, defed and tainted Paulto meet
HIM at lis appointments, but without
avail AN announcement that was received
with great cheering.
After the speakers had closed, there were
loud calls for James Bumgardner, Jr., of
Augusta, who was present. He mounted
the stand, and for ten minutes, the dura-
tion of his speech, have never heard in
that building such continuous round of
cheering and applause. He was applauded
at almost every sentence. and when lie
closed the crowd dispersed in hilarious
mood.

The Coalitionsts had brass band and

explanation of his toe-nail speech, which |
was told on the street, was expected. He
did explain it, and here is his explanation:
that after prefaclng that the Funder party
had discarded its old leaders and was now
under the leadership of Massey, Dezendorf
and Dawson. he had said that under these
circumstances, he you'd not give the par
ings of Mahone's toe-nails for all the boas-
ted chivalry. honesty, &C., in the leader
ship of the party. The idea being, that the
comparison was to affect Massey, Deem
dorf and Dawson uufavorably and not the
Funder leaders of old. 1 think that is his
explanation though he dreR it very fine
and possibly may have missed a batter

THE BLASPHEMY OF ATTORNEY GENER-
AL BLAIR,
whe said in his speech chat "a new Christ
had been born IN Virginia, that the Apos-
tie Paul was one of his apostles. that Wise
was another. and that New Testament
had been given in Virginia" I did not
hear the words, being up at the Democrat
ic meeting, but on asking we'll known
Coalitionist after hearing Of it, how any
man could be so insane as to use
such language to an audience, who by ed
ucation, if not faith, were Christians, he
merely replied with a look of resignation
and disgust. II never took much stock in
Bair's speaking.
The veteran. George E. Deneale, follow
ed Attorney General Blair, and Senator
Rlddleberger followed with closing
speech.
Each meeting seemed to have tried to
keep open until the other closed, and the
result was that they both adjourned at the
same moment. Ell. @. L.
