To the Editor Of the Dispatch:
To-day being our court-day, and it being
announced that Massey, Garrison, Volt,
Mavo, and others would be there, very
large crowd was in attendance. MIR. Mas
scy spoke to crowd Of Loco OF more,
over 500 Of whom were white men. and in
n tWo-hours' speech showed up Mdh0ncism
in q way which WAS reIished by our people.
II is needless for me, and ] shall not al
tempt, to give even synopsis OF his speech.
hut it was well received, and OF the small
number Of Democrats who had not yet
consented 20 support him, most OF them,
after hearing him attcntiycly, have come
over. And Just here let lis say that if John
s. Wise confidently expects to carry Acc0-
mack, as he says, he will be
BADLY FOOLED.
There were a few Democrats who were
disposed to vote for him on personal
grounds, but since his treatment Of CARR
son mt Lancaster Courthouse has become
known that number has considerably de-
creased, and | think ! can confidently As
scrt that he will not get five Democratic
votes in this county.
At about 3 o'clock there commenced
A JOINT DISCUSSION
between Mayo, Volt, and Garrison, in the
order in which they are named. Mayo
commenced by telling whi~key joke OF
about ten minutes length, and ! have yet

said that he was the nominee Of both the
RcadjuSter and Republican parties, and 50
was the Coalition candidate for Congress.
lie soon after began on Old Man Massey.

which John Wise always reads, saying that
was what the Democratic party said OF him.
and asked ii the Democrats OF Accomlc
would vote for such man. To this they
responded by giving
THREE HOUSING CHEERS FOR MASSEY:
and whenever Mayo would say anything
about Mr. Massey the crowd would cheer
the Old Man, and this cnraged Billy's can
didate. He took out his spite by abusing
the people, saying they were the biggest
set OF fools and ignoramuseS he had ever
seen, and that they showed their ignorance
by not listening to him, who came here to
instruct them. After these very cOmpli-
mentary illusions lie was unable to get q
hearing. The Accomac people are noted

can blame them for not listening to man

Garrison appealed to them to do so for his
sake After his speech was over he sat
down amid hurrahing for Massey and Gar

any man get it. lie asked who was this
man Bob Mayo. A Republican, yet he had
never given Republican vote; Il Read
iustcr, yet he had never given a ReadjuSter
vote, but had said OF that party that it was
composed OF the d-est set OF liars,
scoundrels, and free-booters he had ever
seen. Yet, was he 4 Democrat? Why, he
said any man who voted for him and after
wards claimed to be Democrat was fool.
VOLTS tbrusts at Mayo and Malone were
loudly applauded and highly enjoyed by
the audience.
GARRISON CLOSED THE DISCUSSION
in a manner acceptable to all; and it is safe
to put old AccOmac down for a majority
even larger than that she gave the gallant
Daniel. HASN'T Malone got more decent

There was
A NEGRO MEETING
at the courthouse tonight, addressed by
Peter Carter and another negro leader
from Northampton.
Old Accomac will give no uncertain

Hon. John +. Massey spoke TO more than
l 500 people at Accomac Courthouse on

when Daniel spoke here last year. The
crowd was almost unanimous for the Dem

this district spoke. Colonel Mayo led off
