CHARLES CITY COURTHOUSE,
October is, 1883.
The Democracy had splendid meeting
here to-day. Colonel PeytOn, OF Loudon,
smoke an hour and half to deeply atten-
tive audience.
Mr.. Brooke. Of Norfolk. followed Colonel
Pevton. He regretted while so young
man being sandwiched between two OF
Viroinia's experienced and able sons, but
he showed himself well worthy the place he
held, and acquitted himself handsomely and
effectively.
Colonel william Il. Avlett, Of King
William, closed tile discussion. His APP
nearance before the audience was the sig
nal for the widest enthusiasm. AS an
orator, logician, humorist, and satirist he
is second TO no man in Virginia except
Ran. Tucker.
Before him were a number oi the old
soldiers OF his regiment. and those who
know him know how his words went to
their heats. The audience was very sym
pathetic. There were n number OF ne
rroes present, and he is one OF the few
men who knows how TO talk TO them.
After speaking TO them OF their duty TO
the Government he turned upon Malone,
and for three quarters OF an hour he hurled
upcn him and the leaders OF his party the
most whitening sarcasm. Every sentence
told. and the people were hOarse with
cheering. He closed amidst the widest
enthusiasm.
The Straightouts and Coalitionists had q
discussion on the green. Mr.. Stewart and
DR.. Norton and the Rev. Dawson engaged.
did not hear II. I.

A Ficid-Day for the carroll Democrats
non. JOIN W. DANIEL MEETS BROWN ALLEN
AT HLLSvILLE AND CORNERS HIM.
The IIillsyile Carroll county, Virginian
saws: On Monday last there was an I'M
usually large crowd in town. The Demo-
Gratis were full-handed for cnce in this
county with speakers. Colonel Cabell and
CAPTAIN Mckinney arrived here en- route
for FLOYD, and. very Unexpectedly to
many. the Hon. John W. Daniel came to
fiji the appointment of Judge Staples, who
was prevented from coming on account OF
other engagements. On the side OF the
CcalilonstS :. Brown Allen came from
his post Of duty in Richmond TO sustain rs
lar aS he was able the tottcring power Of
The Boss.
After some time the terms OF q discus
sion between Major Daniel and Auditor
Allen were arranged. Major Daniel opened
in speech OF one hour. lie briefly alluded
TO the party TO which he belonged, the
party OF Jefferson, OF T'ildcn. Hancock,
and Hill, that was now victorious IN the
great States OF the North from the Pacific
slope to the Empire state. and last by y
GROWING victory in the great Common
wealth OF Ohio. Mr.. Allen did not at all
enjoy-although the audience did-Maior
Daniels pertinent inquiry, care YOU glad
over the news from Ohio; and il not,
Why" Neither did the Auditor wish the
inquiry whether he was a Democrat or
Republican, and would he vote for Han
cock if nominated in 1854. and il not, why
not? lie simply lodged an answer.
Major Daniel reviewed with all his UNI
surpassed powers OF vivid eloquence and
conviction the corrupt acts OF the party
that has acquired a temporary ascendncy
In Virginia. He took up one by one the
clauses of the Democratic platform and
showed that they contained the true elc-
mentS OF what is fair, just, and honorable
in politics.
When be came to discuss the negro
school trustees OF Cameron, Farr & Co.,
once more was Mr.. Allen unable to an
swcr the simple question, DO YOU adyo-
cate negro trustees over white schools " Z
Mr.. Allen proved himself indeed to be an
artiul dOdger. Major Daniel cOnclusively
showed that the Democratic party had
made the schools what they are, and to
that party is due every enactment for econ
omy and true reform IN the State govern
ment. He tore the veil from the preten-
sOns OF the Malone party that it is Il Lib
eral party-the party that binds its LegiS-
lature by servilc caucus pledge; that
takes oil the official head of every post
master, reycnuc-collcctoT, or other official
who refuses TO be blackmiiled 10 support
corruption.
Mr.. Allen was introduced by Mr.. Post
master Alderman as a gentleman whose
fame extended from the Pacific 10 West
Virginia. Mr.. Allen spoke for one hour
and half. He made a good speech from
a Coalition standpoint While he never
said whether he was a Democrat or Re-
publican, he attacked Democratic princi-
pies with a venom that could only come
from an apostate TO principles he once pro-
feSsed.
Daniels hali-hour speech in conclusion
was in his happiest style. We will not at
tempt 4 description OF it. Suffice ii 10 say
he brought down the house, and concluded
amid continued applause and the widest
enthusiasm.
In response to loud and repeated calls
Colonel Cabell came forward and made
few well-timed remarks.
