vote or an amendment TO enable the people
OF each city and county OF the State 20 cleo
its own o, 'icer. lie explained that the oh
ject of this bin was to give to the Governor
Of Virginia he night to appoint commits
sioners 20 sci, all lands directed TO be SOLD
by DEGREES Of ;he courts, denying TO those
interested the right 10 choose their own
commissioners ard the people the right "a
elect them. He called attention TO the fact
that these commissioners were 10 nave
the right to advertise in papers seiccted
by themselves, paying therefor s'ateu
price, and not giving IL to the lowest bid-
derS. The object, he said, was to support
in the various cities and counties the or
CANS Of the Boss and to supply him with
the means for the corruption and subjuga-
ton OF the people. He pointed out how
dangerous IL was to place in the hands OF
an appointee Of q partisan Governor the
proceeds Of all the real estate sales OF a city
or county sold under DEGREES OF the courts.
NATIONAL POLITICS.
Mr.. Wise then spoke OF national politics,
and declared foe the total extinction OF in
tcrnal.revenue taxation, so rs TO rid the
people OF this onerous system and OF an
army Of spies and informers, and stated
that many OF these internal-reyenue officers
are CHARTERED upon the Government only for
party purposes. rendering no services for
the pay which they receive. He further
declared himself in favor OF raising the
revenues for the support OF the Govern
mcnt economically administered, by tax
upon importations from foreign countries,
and its adjustment to give encouragement
TO American industries. He closed with
an appeal to the people Of the county Of
King and Queen not to follow Malone into
the stalwart Radical camp and turn their
backs upon the brave and true men who
had been the defenders OF their rights.
MCAULL CLOSES.
After Mr.. Wise had closed his speech
the crowd began to disperse and to leave
the courthouse. leaving few white pc0-
ple and number Of negroes. Mr.. Nc
Call in his rejoinder answered the question
OF Mr.. Wise as 10 whether he would sup
por. in 1884 a Democrat or Republican
for President by saying that he would sup
port anybody IN opposition to the Demo-
cratic nominee. AEAMINTA.

MAJOR JOHN W. DANIEL'ss.sPEECHA AT COvlNG-
TON.
The Allegheny Tribune says: Court
dav, Tuesday last. the citizens OF Allegheny
had the pleasure OF hearing speech upon
the issues Of the campaign from Major
John w. Daniel, Of Lynchburg. The au-
dience was a large and attentive one, COM
posed of men OF all political creeds. who
could but Weld courteous attention to the
eloquent speaker. The gallery OF the
courthouse was graced by number
| l. AlCnp1 tln
keen interest always felt by the IL
dies in good government and the
recital Of the principles OF true De
mocracy. The speech, like all the efforts
OF that gentleman. was a calm. logical adyo-
cacy Of the principles OF the party OF winch
he is an honorable member. Commencing
with the first plank OF the platform us
adopted by the Lynchburg Convention, he
proved the righteousness OF the cause lie
| supported. The settlement OF the state
| debt was taken up and the further agitation
of the question was deplored, proving that
| in accepting the settlement the Democrats
were not Inconsistent, but were merely
willing to abide 10y the wishes OF the
/ peOple. which was true Democracy. Each
blank was then taken up and discussed
| in an able and convincing manner. In
some parts Of his speech Major DANIEL
was long and loudly applauded. Ills de-
nunciation Of the party who had betrayed
the public trust, squandered the treasury,
and corrupted the Judiciary, was most
scatbine, and was delivered with fine eff
feet. His closing perortion and call 10
the Democla cy to fall into line was most
happily conceived aud beautifully deny
cred. In fact. John w. Daniel never made
1 i,l no
audience with some of the noble and patri-
otto sentiments that come as II spontaneous
from his breast And his effort here Tues
day win. we believe, be productive CT much
good to the Democratic party.
The Tribune also gives the proceedings
OF a meeting at which the party in the
county was thoroughly re0rganized.
