Essen COUNTY. October p, 1882.
Thi, has lecn a week OF political signi-
cancc in our county. For the first time
since tie canvass opened we have had the
issues discussed from the several stand
points OF its champions. IT is true several
duskv individuals have fitted across the
political horizon, whose h,rangucs were a.
bcclouded as their compilations, but the
candidates have not found time to visit lis
before. On Thursday last
JOHN :. WISE
addressed the people by appointment. lie
made a long and labOred effort, though
more temperate than ! was prepared to cX-
pcct. He was more severe upon Massey
than any one else, as might have been eX-
pected. He started out with the asSump-
lion that he (Wise) was the only candidate
in the field for Congress at large who had
been endorsed by party; that his oppo-
nents were sclf-cOnstitu;ed. and had 70
Organized following. In which think he
will find himself mistaken on the day OF
election.
Mr. Wise's speech was generally salts
factory TO his sympathlzers, though don't
think he made any prOSeiytes here.
On Saturday following
JUDGE GARRISON
and Colonel Volt addressed our citizens,
as had been previously announced. The
Judge was in fine health and spirits, and
made manly, digniiied, and forcibIc adj
dress. lie first ventilated the record OF his
opponent, Colonel Mayo, whom be said had
declared in almost every address he had
made that he had never been a Roadiustcr,
but had only acted with them to draw them
over TO the Republican party: that be- had
been Republican since the surrender u
General Lee lin heart. and had actively par
ticipatcd with them for several years past.
Judge Garrison showed he had participated
with the Democratic party in most Of their
conventions and public meetings to within
/ two wears past: had frequently sought
Office, hut without success; that a. late a.
/ 1SS0-tWo Years ago-hc had allowed him
SELF to be.pnt upon the Rcadiustcr ticket
a. clector; had sought the nomination to
Congress at the hands OF that party that
canvass and failed, and i'm the election
which ensucd voted the Democratic ticket
/ for President, and actually voted Tor him
Judge Garri.on) for Congress; that even
| ~ late as llsl winter he
DENOUNCED THE EEADJusTEE PARTY
a. composed Of the "d--st and most cor
rupt set oi thieves, bummcr>, and liars he
! had ever seen con gregated together" ne
ieniug to the Lcgi,iature). IN conclusion.
the Judge alluded TO his record in Congress,
a. nm earnest OF what he would do il re-
turned; but as the people had already
passed upon this and unanimously nomi-
mated him for second term, this was TN
/ necessary.
COLONEL WOLFF
made a strong and forcible speech, arraign-
| ing Malone for his corrupt practices, and
showing him to be the most abjcct and de-
/ based tyrant that ever assumed TO rule over
a free and enlightened people; that the
/ President OF the United States had 80 far
/ debaSed himself is t. be in conspiracy
with him in corrup: and degrading bar
! gain, and concluded by saying that rather
than be under the control OF such men he
would unite his efforts with the Demo-
cratic party and hurl them from power.
nave no doubt Judge Garrison will be
returned by Il largely-ncreased majority.
and that the First district will give hand
some majority for Massey. Wolff will
carry most Of the Republican votes. In
the upper end OF the district. hear from
a reliable source, they are solid for him,
and while here and the lower Northern
Neck the vote will be divided between
himself and Mayo, the lack Of confidence
in the latter will cause most OF the vote TO
centre upon Volt, whose Republicanism
Is known, and who utters no uncertain
sound. OMEGA.
