CAPTAIN Wallace, in addressing the

with intelligent gentlemen from every sec
ton. and found an universal determination
on the part OF the people OF Virginia to
strike now for the green graves OF their
sires. lie pronounced the strength OF the
Coalition TO be in the bait held by Arthur
aid Malone, without which it would go
TO pieces; exposed the extravaganza OF the
Coalition parry. which, among other things,
had sold the furniture Of the Governors
mansion. which was good enough for rus
tics like Kempcr and Holiday, and bad
replaced il with velvet carpets for the
dainty feet Of Cameron. He never knew
the prospect better for success, and when
on tile 9th OF November they looked from
the red lands OF Orange along the electric
wires might they fash back the news that
Augusta had sent up 1900 or 1,jOO ma
jority to join with the trumphal blast that

and the Barbours and swell the mighty
columns that would bring victory to re-
deemed country.
JUDGE HARRIss REMARKS.
Judge Harris was loudly applauded on
taking the stand. In the course OF his re-
marks he read the resolutions OF the City
Council of Petersburg thanking him for
the part he took several years ago IN aiding
to resist the efforts made then to place the
city under military rule, followed by 4 long
editorial in the Inder-Appedl from the pen.
Of Cameron laudatory of him and con-
demning the very people he was now aid
ing and abttting in their nefarlous attempt
to place the country under negro rule. He
drew an alarming picture OF the state OF
things existing III Eastern Virginia, where
the negroes had been aroused by the incen-
diary appeals OF the Coalition leaders to
u point almost ycrging upon revolution.
He spoke bitterly OF the action OF the Gov
ornor Of the State, who had appointed his
own bOOtblack to manage the white
schools Of Richmond. and ridiculed
the assertion made 10y the Coalition
leaders that they would not be controlled
BY the negroes, who Outnumbered the
whites in their party four 10 one. Who
ever heard of a tail wagging Il dog? he
asked. The dog will always wag the tall
every time He asked his hearers 10 look
at that audience and then 90 down TO the
courthouse and look at the audience there
and say which represented the people OF
Augusta. They called themselves Demo
Gratis there, but had Republicans conduct
Ing their meeting.
JUDGE CHRISTIAN.
Judge Christian closed with fine speech.
In the course Of his remarks he thor
oughly ventilated the record Of Governor
Cameron, now playing the role of party
campaigner. He had, in their Matthews
discussion, showed him a Hancock Demo-
cratic ticket with bis name at the head Of it
As an elector, and asked him If Hancock
was nominated in 1884 how would he vote,
and the Governor was as dumb rs an oys-
ter. They say they are Democrats, said
the Judge. Did you hear any Of them the
other day hurrah for Ohio? Any OF them
Ere a cannon? Did the Wing put up 4
rooster? He wanted to warn his au-
dience OF the work that was going on
IN the section where he lived. Cameron,
with 10000 whites and 12S,00O negroes,
was carrying Africa into the war. In his
old senatorial district the negroes would
by the rule have n majority OF school truS-
tees, and he able to select negro teachers
for the white schools. He had nothing
unkind TO say OF the negroes and hOnOrcd
those who tired by legitimate terms to ele-
vate themselves in the scale Of civilization,
but he despsed the white man who put
himself on level with negro.
no UNCERTAIN SOUND.
After payinga high tribute to the Angus
ia candidates, Echols and Opee, Judge
Christian said III closing "We can win
this fight, we must win it or our ciyiliZa-
ton is lost. Democrats OF Augusta. are you
coming to the front?" Voices: We are
coming" How much majority are you
bringing with you:" \ voice: "Twelye
hundred" Loud huzzahs.l The meet
ing then adjourned.

Yankee Allan did not give entire salts
faction TO his audience. During his speech

spect the negro was inferior to the white
man? No answer from Allan. Red.
