LIVELY DISCUSSION BETWEEN COLONEL O'FER-
RAIL AND COLONEL LAMB-DEATHs-PRR
sONALs, ETC.
Correspondence OF The Richmond Dispatch
SEPTEMBER 6. 1882.
AT the recent speaking here large num-
Der OF persons were attracted by the an
nouncement OF Colonel O'Ferral's ap-
p0lntment to he present. 1t being ascer-
tanned that Colonel Lamb, of Norfolk. was
here, joint discussion was arranged. The
court having adjourned, the courthouse
was crowded with an eager and eypectant
throng-Colonel Lamb taking the lead.
COLONEL LAMBS ADDRESS.
Colonel Lamb occupied quite an hour OF
bis time in discussing the tariff question.
with which he seemed to be not very well
acquainted. He took the Republican view
OF the tariff, and labored hard to show that
1t was the best protection OF the working
men, but he was very careful, in his sup
port OF the revenue system, to keep hid
the fact that the workingmen paid the
taxes which sustained the system. The
discussion OF this point fell upon dull ears,
as he had frequently to call the audience
away from the conversation that was gong
on in the house: "NOw, listen TO Inc, farm
ers." lie told them what immense bene-
fits they were deriving from protective
tariff. Colonel Lamb is the first to intro
duce the idea that farmers have need Of
a tariff to protect them from shipments
OF grain, tobacco, cotton, and fruits from
foreign markets. He rung upon the cap
itatlon tax, denouncing 1t most bitterly;
made the very original remark that he was
Tor free ballot and a fair count, and
spurted forth many other points contained
in the Malone "reguaiion political
speech. Said that there never was a fair
election in Norfolk until he was elected
mayor; that is, as long as the Democrats
were In power. RI believe Colonel Lamb
was first elected by Demoefnts.l He was

Correspondence OF The Richmond Dispatch.l
The daily dispatch. [volume] (Richmond [Va.]) 1850-1884, 1882-07-15

The Conservative State Committee, which
met in Richmond Wednesday, decided not
to call convention Of the party to nOmi-
nate candidate for congressman at large.
This settles the question. 1t Leaves the
rield to Captain Wise and Mr.. Massey, and
the Conservative voters are free TO choose
between the two.
Some of those Conservatives who have
differed with Mr.. Massey on the question OF
the State debt may find difficulty in coming
to his support in this national contest. Ii
will be borne in mind, however, that ne
has put the debt question behind him, and
is now running for Congress as Democrat
and in opposition to an Arthur Republic
can. So far as the State debt now said to
he out Of politics. is concerned, Wise and
Massey are, or were, together. There was
no choice between them as to that. But
they are now beyond this obsolete issue,
and are running for Congress not rs Re-
adjusters, but the one as a Republican and
the other rs Democrat. There may be
some good Democrats who will refuse to
support Mr.. Massey because OF the mis-
chief they think he has done in our State
politics; but IL he shall succeed in beating
John Wise and in putting down Bossism
and Arthurism in Virginia he will do a
good work for the State.
As Mr.. Massey is not nominee OF the
party, some Democrats may feel that they
are not bound to support him; but as the
canvass shall progress the relations and at
titudes of the candidates will become more
clearly understood, and we guess there Will
be very few who will not finally determine
that To vote for him as against Mr.. Wise is
the proper thing to do.-DonuiHe Register.
The daily dispatch. [volume] (Richmond [Va.]) 1850-1884, 1882-07-15
The An.AbsOrbing Question.

Conscientious debt-payers, leaving party
obligations out OF view, are seriously pom
dering whether, under any circumstances,
they can consistently vote for Mr.. Massey
as the congressman at large. 1t is Sc
rious, important, and delicate question, and
one which every voter will soon be called
upon to decide for himself at the polls, as
the gentleman has already announced him.
self as a candidate for the position.
The Democratic Conservative party will,
by convention or committee. soon decide
to place no candidate in the field. This il
may consistently do, rs the prospect OF
election is so small that it may be con-
sidered, for all practical purposes, as
nothing, unless one man was nominated,
and he refuses peremptorily to allow his
name to be used. The voter is to choose
between John 5. Wise, nominated by co.
alition OF Readjusters and Republicans,
and John T.. Massey, Independent candi-
date. In the past both Of these men
have supported the same measures up
to the time OF recent division in
their party caused by Mahone's per-
sonal war upon Mr.. Massey. Up to that
time there was little ground of choice be-
tween them, but since then their paths have
diverged in remarkable manner. Mr..
Wise stands to-day the supporter Of Ma.
hone and the Republican Administration
in all measures that are hateful TO the great
bulk Of the white people OF the State. Mr..
Massey, on the other hand, is an open OPP.
poser Of Malone and the COalitionists, and
can claim the credit OF having defeated,
through his friends acting in his interest
and by his direction, the most revolution.
airy schemes OF legislation which a
Virginia General Assembly ever contem.
plated. A ballot not cast by Demo
crat will count for Mr.. Wise, whose elec-
ton means a new lease Of power for Ma.
hone and his satellites. Are we not all
ready TO decide, in the face OF these cir.
cumstances, to vote for the less obnOXi0u:
Of the two men. Mr.. Massey is not such {
man as we would choose from larger
field Of choice to represent Virginia a.
q whole on the floor Of Congress, but Mr.
Wise, with his surroundings, record, ant
marked-out path for the future, must bt
defeated. Our own position is no conven
ton, no nomination, and, with a menta
protest, ballot In favor Of Mr.. Massey
with burdened hope that he may b,
elected Amherst New Era.

As we expected, the State Committee
which met in Richmond Yesterday decided
not to call State Convention, nor to nOmi-
nate candidate for congressman at large.
This action, or non-action, was the result
Of free interchange OF views and the best
judgment OF the committee. We think
the Democracy OF Virginia will endorse
their opinion and acquiesce in Mr.. Mas
sey's candidacy, as already announced by
himself. Between Mahone's candidate, the
