''Ah, said Capt. B. ALIENS got all the
wool off that lamb, he fell heir to the
whole fleece (Great laughter.) "a hon
among fees, Christian patriot, Chris
tian preacher, peer of any, match for
all, the tribune of the people, the quarrel
an of the treasury" The reading was re-
ceived with hearty laughter. And this
guardian Of the treasury they turned out
twas he guarding il too CLOSELY and now
call him traitor.
A voice-He is traitor.
Capt. Bumgardner-Ah, I like to hear
you Republicans call him that. It's like
he old Degro with the ''fne fat rabbit"
but when it Slipped out Of his arms and
got safe into the brlar patch it wasn't
nothing but ''poor old h'yAr no how. .

PAUL's PROMISES BEFORE ELECTION.
Ard on the same ticket with Wise IS the
Hon. John Paul, who heard il a speech
at Harrisonburg say that this ticket hold
in my hand was gotten up as the only
means by which Virginiacould be carried
for Hancock and English. and that If they
did not knoao that the erdjusters held
victory in the hollow OF their hand they
would take it down. At Parnassus when
Paul was asked if he would cooperate
with the Democratic party in congress, 1
heard him say, of course he would co-ope-
70 s,t cit ba ho h,J q
Democrat and he would die Democrat.
When he got there how did lie Cooperate?
by voting for Keifer, q force bill Radical,
over Sam Randall, a Democrat to whom
more than to any Their Democrat Was due
the defeat Of that force bill and who spent
night after nightln fighting it in tie House
of Representatives, and thus averted from
the South that outrageous measure.
FREE BALLOT.
This party that is hungry for free
ballot" has sought for it, where? Why,
in the Republican party! The only Repub-
lican convention that ever had control of
West Virginia, kept away from the polls
for almost ten years, nearly the whole
Democratic vote of the State. In sPoca-
hnntas county the Democratic vote of
1.510 was cut down to 250. In Greenbrier,
a larger county, it was cut down to 800.
A registrar could, on the mere suspicion
that the iron clad oath had not been prop
erly taken, strike a voters name from the
lis.. In Missouri under Republican rule
there was the same oath and the Republi-
ms there never did repeal it and the pee
pie only got free after the younger Demo
Gratis got old enough to vote them out.
When the Republicans had old Virginia
125, 000 Democrats voted to give every
man of any color vote. and $4,000 Re
publicans at the same election voted to
prevent 1000 Democrats from voting at
all. and TO prevent $4,000 Democrats from
holding any sort of office. There is Il par
ty of free bal lot for you! You Sir. Ito
MIR. Alen) if that party had succeeded,
couldn't TODAY be a constable, nothing
hut the fight made then by the Bourbon
Democrats you now abuse made it posi-
BILE for you to be Auditor of this State.
The slavery in the Malone party was
graphically set forth by Capt. B., who
read the caucus pledge with great eff
feet. The Confederate soldier vote of
Malone in the Senate, was commented
on, and in closing an eloquent comparison
OF the faithfulnes of Napoleon to his SOL
diers and the treachery of Malone to
those who had followed him, Capt. b. was
cheered at almost every word.
MIR. ALLEN
in reply said the Bourbons of Virginia had
appeared in all guises. IF they thought
debt paying would win they were debt
payers; they were repudiators if that would
vim. Republicans if that would, and all
under the name of Conservative Democ-
ra.y, and now it was organized under the
dropping plume of John L. Massey
CHEERS AS to Paul voting for Keifer,
SO did Fulkerson, and he is one of your
Leaders. tApplause.) Mr.. "A Hen held that
the Readjuster party had performed its
every promise to the people; had saved
them fifteen millions of dollars, lowered
tie taxes, sat the schools on their feet and
killed the coupons. If the Readjuster
party after this work should surrender the
State to the Funders, it would be simply
handing over the lamb to the lion, Zap
plause.) Mr.. A. then went into long
and violent denunciation Of Mr.. Massey.
which was loudly applauded.
SLIP UP.
Mr.. Allen said in all his travels in the
state he had yet to see one man of any
party who would avow in public that he
intended to vote for Massey. Turning to
the audience he said, ''Is there one here
who will do 1t 2" A voice cried ''Here's
one," and t!en there was will II will"
III around the house, and then It voice
cried, Three cheers for Massey" which
We're givt.i with will.
Alen-I reckon you all will vote for him
like Old Jube Early CHEERS for Early in
Lynchburg who says he intends to vote
for him, and then intends to dire negro
to kick him for doing it.
BOURBON IDEA.
Capt. Bumgardner has talked to you
about the Hancock electoral ticket, why
that time has gone by! Hancock was de-
feated, (cheeIs,l but my friend there and
his Bourbon friends think he is still run
ming. daughter andyapplause. We know
better. Our plan is the plan outlined by
Gen. Malone in the Senate, and which was
endorsed by the people of Virginia in 1881.
ssWe are for Arthur because Arthur is for
u.s." Cereal Applause). Malone when hs
got to Washington found the Republicans
in power in every department. of the Gov
ernmel,t except the Senate. and there he
held the balance Of power. He saw the
situation and said to the Administration
if they would treat his people fairly and
literally he would support it as long as it
