White men of Virginia, do you intend this

WHAT INDICTMENT.
What inducemsnt has any Virginian to
be for Arthur? He vetoed the bill that
gave her appropriations for her rivers and
harbors, and then made the proposition
that ought to consign him to infamy, that
if he 1.-THE Presidency was allowed to
eliminate" such items Of appropriation
as he chose he would not again veto it,.
Why should any white Virginians be for
the Republican party. Have they forgotten
the effort of that party to pass the bill
taking away the writ of habeas corpus
Have they forgotten how that great man
Sam. Randall-and l rope the people of
the South will be able hereafter to rev ard
him for it (applausel-stood upon his feet
for twenty-nine hours and fought it until
the time had passed when 1t could 60 to
the Senate and become law, and the next
morning the sun rose on free country.
Great applause.l
BOURBONS.
The Bourbons never learn nor forget
anything Well. we will never learn that
there is any law higher than the constitu-
ton, we will never learn to put our liber-
ties in the hands of one man, and we will
never learn to ally ourselves with politi-
cal party that has sought to enslaye our
country. We cannot forget that the Re
publican party made war upon pea ceful
people after the war had ended
A voice. --Hurrah for Cameron.
Judge C.-Ah, acish he was here -
There is no man in Virginia would like
so much to see here to-day. Wewill new
er forget the Underwoods, the Durells,
the Belknaps, the Freedman's Bank swim
die. the Credit Mobilier, the Dorseys and
the star route thieves, nor the Presiden
tial steal backed by Eliza Pinkston and
Agnes jerks. No, the pespleof this coun-
try have forgotten none of these things.
The speaker concluded with stirring APP
peal to all Democrats to fall in line with
Ohio on November 9Th and closed amid
great applause.
GEN. FITZ. LEE
followed Judge Christian, aud made a
happy introduction to lis speech by ref
erence to Co. 1, of Rockingham, which
was in his cavalry regiment. He said 1t
was nineteen years since he had been in
Harrisonburg, and then he was in an am
bulance, wounded, having been shot at
Winchester. His speech was soldierly
and made the old veterans cheer again and
again.
MALONE THE BOURBON OF HATRED.
did not hear the whole of either Chris
tian's or Lees speeches. being obliged to
60 to the enemy S meeting and our own by
turns, throughout the speaking. At the
Coalition meeting, heard r. J. Walker,
a young orator from Shenandoah. He is
the son of a gallant Confederate soldier
now dead, and when I heard the son he
was abiding to that fact. and saying that
if any man had cause to respect the Con-
| federate dead he had for his father was
( one Of them. But he did not intend that
hatred should live forever. and he was in
that great Liberal PARTY to put away the
past and bring reconciliation and peace to
the country.
| just as l got back to the Democra tic
stand. Fitz Lee was commenting on Ma
homes vote by which the bill in the SEN
ate removing the stigma from Confederate
soldiers was consigned TO the grave of a
committee by Malone, himself Confed-
crate and the commander of Confederates.
1 wished the boy l had just left could
have heard Lee on that point he would
have seen who it was maintaining hatred.
He would have seen the Bourbon Malone
in new light.
John T. Harris, Geo. Grattan and B.
Keezle followed Gen. Lee in short address,

! THE WHITE COALITION MEETING.
The Coalitionists were addressed at
what appeared an interminable length by
r. j. Walker of Shenandoah, for reason
able period by DIR. Webb of Rockingham,
and for fifteen minutes by Mr.. Jacob ost
of stanton. 1t is but fair to say that all
the information or argument that I heard
| at the Coalition stand was contained in
Mr.. Yost's speech, The rest was the
| merest froth.
THE BLACK COALITION MEETING.
After the white Coaltionists adjourned,
a Negro Coalition orator from Richmond
named Taylor, got on a platform placed
on two barrels and proceeded to harangue
the Negroes. He said he had not
of ''our white friends had thought it
| would ''injure our cause.' He said he had
been listening to Christian and Lee and
what they had been telling the people was
mere ''fapdoodle."
This same Negro was in Stanton the
same night and spent some two hours on
platform on Augusta street in front of
the VarQtnian offlce informing crowd of
Negroes that he was IA Coalitionist, and
was proud of having been 'born on Vir-
| ginia's sorril."l
