Correspondence Of the Richmond Dispatch
NOVEMBER Is. 1882.
The gorgeous celebration Of what the
hilarious Coalitionists fondIy deem 4
mighty victory came off in this town last
night. At an early hour various patriotic
citizens hauled out their lights from under
sundry bushels and displayed them on the
house-tops. The Examinations OF some OF
the colorcd brethren were unique in the
extreme. The hardy Democrat who ven
turcd out on the highway saw the streets
aname with the resinouS faggOt and heard
the minglng din OF tin-panS, random gun
shots, and yolls-precurSOrs OF the grand
fiasco in preparation. About 8 p. NJ, on
the arrival OF the country contingent, the
procession started from the c0llcgc-gatc
and peregrinated the principal streets.
The crowd was composed Of the "iaiihful
allies " OF Williamsburg and vicinity, and
was
EABBIE
from which whit man well might stand
aloof-an opinion which the white Malone
ties seemed TO entertain generally; Tor,
with the exception Of a couple on horse
back, the cornet band, and those i'm charge
OF the fireworks in a wagon, | saw no white
man in the procession. The tranSparencics
numbered about TWENTY-FIVE. and bore such
chaste and classic legends Is "Mahone',
Toc-nails." Dawson and DcZendori Dead
Dogs" Malone and Riddlcbcrger Control
the United States Senate owe Own Viz
ginia," &c. The town was traver>ed 10y the
crew, yelling and screcching ike madmcn,
with music from the band at intervals, and
continuous discharge OF firearms, accompa-
med by rockets from the ammunition
wagon.
ROWLING AT DAWSON.
In front Of the Rev. John VI. DaWson's
house halt was made. and an extra con-
glomeratiOn Of boots, explosions, and tu-
mutt was INDUCED in, Il piece OF dirty Grape
was hung on his gate, and the next morn
ing a bullet was found embedded in the
window easing about the height OF mans
head from the floor. The bullet is there
now, and can be seen 10y any one. Pro-
ceeding to the cOurt-green, they next sur
rounded the speakers stand and yocifcr-
0rsly called for the oraces TO hold forth.
MAJOR Walden,
OF New Kent, oracled first.
And ne'er did Delphian utterancc
Reitcrate WORKOUT nonsense
ON the fortunes Of cracked machine
Like the Major on our courthouse green
He babe the multitude peer up the vista
Of futurity and behold the magnificent
prospects looming up, and, reckoning the
Coalition onward, called on its followers
to draw the sword and obtain their rights.
DR.. WISE
succeeded the Major amidst the ascension
OF rockets and most distracting uproar.
Indeed, throughout the speaking the noise
was 30 great that at times the voices OF the
speakers could not be heard at any distance
at all. The Doctor held out the olive
branch most magnanmOusly to the de-
ludcd followers Of Straightforward, but
would trample their leaders under foot
and stifle them in the dust; eXhOrted the
white and colOred elements OF his party
to stand by each other. Most Of the white
element did by-as spectators on the
sidewalk.
THE REASON WHY.
prominent colorcd Mahoncite being
asked why some Of the white men were
not in line carrying the lanterns, said:
"Well the cOlored people will always have
TO do the hauling" In proof OF how
much was being done for the colored man
the Doctor stated that he paid his servants
higher wages than any other man in town.
The founders . filed no small niche in
his discourse, and since the late elections
he talks OF the Bourbons OF the NORTH
OTHER SPEAKERS.
Mr.. b. ID. Peachy followed, and gave
ont that he was "born with the party, and
intended to die with it," His remarks
were brief, and ended with the introduce
ton OF James w. Edloe (colored), who
went off in q TRADE against the Straight
outs, and alluded 10y name to several we'll
known colored men OF that party in not
very kindly terms for their houses being
darkened. Young Norton, clerk in the
Auditors Office nc Richmond, closed. lie
eulogized Edloc as the "youthful states
man OF Virginia" who had proved himself
such IN the last canvass. Your correspond
ent did not remain to hear him through.
All dealt In congratulations and glorifica-
lions OF the election OF probably one half
OF the congressman from Virginia, and
several INDUCED In weighty
ATTEMPTS TO MAKE LIGHT OF THE DEMO-
CRATIC SUPREMACY
