/ GOOD DEFINITION OF COALITION - THE
COUNTY SAFE FOR TIE DEMOCRATS.

FLUvANyA COURTHOUSE.
October %, 1888.
Like our September court-day, this one
!. has been rainy. When il became known
that Van Auken and Auditor Brown Allen
were on the ground much regret was ex-
pressed that the Hon. George ID. Wise,
who had been advertised 10 represent us,
had failed to put in an appearance. But
the chagrin and disappointment naturally
caused by the absence OF Mr.. Wise gave
place to feeling OF relief when it became
known that the Hon. John K. Massey had
arrived Mt the hotel. The Coalitionists,
with characteristic tim;dity, declined all
terms which gave Mr.. Massey an opportu-
nifty Of replying to their speakers. The
rain preventing outdoor speaking. Mr..
Massey had to accept their proposition to
lead of in a speech OF two hours and give
: them the remainder OF the day!
1 Having adverted to the discouraging In
, fluences Of bad weather and roads as proofs
I that his presence here indicated deep in
terest In the cause Of Democracy, Mr.. Mas
| sey drew vivid contrast between the mu-
tual courtesy Of the Wing and Democratic
speakers Of old times, and the frequent
lack OF clvilIty in modern stumpers. He
was here, he said, to speak plainly, but
would not indulge in personalities. After
explaining that he had no apology to make
for having been n Readjuster, he defined
Coalition to mean "White men enough to
fill the offices, and black men enough to
vote them into them" The white ones
were. he declared, kept in line by drop
ping little salt now and then from the
hand Of Boss Billy"
J The speaker then graphically pictured
the electors on the July Hancock and Eng
fish ticket rs mere camp-follOwers for the
spoils, and then presented the proofs that
this second Hancock ticket WAS 4 device OF
Malone to break the solid South.
Having dwelt with telling effect on the
fact that the Roadiuster and the Funder
wings OF the Democratic party had met at
Lynchburg and recognized the finality OF
the debt settlement. he ridiculed the dis
position OF some not to trust the pledges
there made, and eloquently called upon all
good citizens to forget past differences
and enlist in the Democratic column now
marching to victory.
| The speaker next quoted the WHO and
Mr.. Riddlcberger rs saving that all OF the
local designs Of the Readiuster party had
been accomplished, and paused to pay his
respects TO those obnoxious legislative mea-
sures which were defeated only by the pa
triotic stand Of the famous Big Four.
The recent verdict Of Ohio. the child Of
Virginia, spoke, he said, in trumpet tones
to the old mother that the daughter would
lead now until the tyrants grasp was
broken.
Mr.. Massey closed his excellent speech
by predicting that in the next General AS
senbly the Democrats would have twenty
three senator's and fiity-seven members OF
the House OF Delegates.
The speaker was frequently interrupted
by outburst of applause from his friends,
who outnumbered the Coaitionists as three
to one.
Pursuant to the understanding. the stand
was now surrendered TO Messrs. Van
Auken and Brown Allen, who entertained
their followers until night by the delivery
OF hackneyed boastings OF what great
things their party had accomplished. Hav-
Ing lodged the forensic skill OF Mr.. Mas
sey, they spoke with freedom and as
surance truly renal kable in the supporters
OF a sinking cause.

KING WILLIAM COURTHOUSE,
October -, 1883.
That true son OF Virginia. Judge Isaac
ii. Christian, our Democratic nominee for
the Thirty-eighth senatorial district, d.
vided time with /. C.. Fowler here to-day.
Fowler led Off and his speech was Of the
usual form, except that he introduced q
rather unrefned and nauseating expression,
which was considered both wit and elo-
quence by Fowler's colored audience, aud
he felt happy.
Judge Christians reply was eloquent,
and delivered in q style and with force
that aroused the enthusiasm OF bis hearers
to the highest pitch. Fowler emphatlcaly
{" caught it," and the cheers which greeted
the Judge almost every moment showed
bow lie touched the hearts OF the people.
Fowler tried to rally in his reply, but ut
terly failed.
Judge Christians rejoinder was splen-
did, and was greeted With storms OF ap-
plause. His visit and speech have made a
fine impression upon our people. X.
The Way They Manage 1t IN Hanover.
TO the Editor OF the Dispatch:
The Readjusters have started nearly all
OF the colored schools and very few OF the
white schools i'm Hanover county. The
white schools are kept back as bats. They
will be opened on the 18th OF November
next.
A colored school-teachcr. Edgar Mallory,
told old aunt Charity Hall, colored wo-
man, that he wanted to get twenty chill
dren tall Readiusters) TO attend his school.
He did not want any Funder children. She
asked him il they would not take the
Funder or Wickham children. He told
her that IL they went to school they would
have to pay s1.25 month; that he was
not teaching Funder children. Hurrab
for liberty and liberality
