DEMOCRATIC OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES MEETINGS.
BAKER p. LEE on THE sTUMP-A BRIGHT OUT
LOOK.
tCorresDondence Of the Richmond DisDatch.I
LUNENBURG COURTHOUSE,
September IL, 1888.
Yesterday being court-day. and it having
been generally understood that politics
would be discussed by each OF the political
parties, and that the Democrats would
nominate candidate for the House OF
Delegates, large crowd was in attend
ance.
The Democrats held a mass-meeting in
the courthouse, which was very largely
attended, and its proceedings were very
harmonious. NJ. c. Cardozo, Esq. was
chosen chairman Of the party, and |. b..
Bell selected as secretary. DR.. Il. ;. Pow
ell, OF Brunswick county, was endorsed rs
the choice OF the Convention rs a candidate
for the Senate from this district.
Mr.. III. c. Gregory was chosen a. the
candidate for the House OF Delegates.
Mr.. Gregory had no opposition. The
nomination OF Mr.. Gregory is one which
gives general satisfaction. and whilst the
voting may be close in this county the
Democrats expect TO do their whole duty,
and will work TO win.
\ better selection for county chairman
than Mr.. CardozO, in the opinion Of your
correspondent, could rot have been made.
After the adjournment Of the Conven-
ton Hon. Baker =. Lee addressed the
Democrats from the porch Of Streets
Hotel. Mr.. Lees speech was good one ;
so pronounced by all whom the writer has
heard speak of 1t. After the close Of his
speech Mr.. Glenn Green, OF Charlotte, was
loudly called for, and made one OF his hap
picst efforts.
At the same time General Stith Boiling
was addressing a sable crowd in front OF
the courthouse. An effort had been made
by the Democrats to have division OF
time. but an agreement could not be ar
rived at. each side wanting the conclusion.
The Democrats. through the county chair
man, then proposed TO toss up ''heads-
and-tailsv for the conclusion. This propo-
sition was also refused. And in the opin-
ion OF the writer the refusal on the part OF
the CoaIitionsts was fortunate for the
Democracy, for the few white faces seen
in the crowd that was addressed by Gene
raj Boiling, and the c.Owd OF whites clus-
tering around the stand OF Mr.. Lee,
showed that they were tired OF coalition.
There were ut least ten white men In the
audience addressed by Mr. Lee TO every
one that could be found listening to GEN
eral Boiling.
Among those who participated in the
deIibontion OF the Democratic meeting
was noticeable one OF the delegates OF the
edition Convention held here last spring,
and they can be counted by the score who

Executive Committee, not knowing
whether the fault is theirs or not, but we
call attention TO the facts stated in the fol-
lowing little article from the Suffolk Her.
aid, that such mistakes may hereafter be
guarded against:
The State Committee failed to send a
Democratic speaker to southampton court,
and the Coalitionists had it all their own
| way.
They failed 10 send Democratic speaker
to Isle OF Wight. and but for the manage
ment of the local committee the COali-
tionists would have had it all their own
way.
They failed to send Democratic speaker
to Suffolk, according to appointment, and
the result. on every hand, was chagrln,
encouragement, and disgust.

The very fact that a MAHONE speaker re-
fuses to tell whether he will or will not
vote the Republican ticket next year is
proof enough that he does expect so to
vote.
But it is also proof that he has some lin
gering recollection Of having been DEM
ocrat up to the year 1880.
Press, then, the question. The people

Office to every hundred voters.

The Democratic papers OF the North
charge that the southern independents
were formerly members OF the Democratic
party, and therefore responsible in part
for southern outrages. But these papers
found no fault with them until they came
ont from the party Of outrage and fraud
Washington Republican.
Thus speaks the Stalwart Republican
journal which Mr.. RIDDLEBERGEE and
General MALONE recommended to the
support of the people of Virginia. Read
il over and see how it is pervaded with
the spirit of kuklux days, when Federal
generals turned Legislatures out OF the
State capitols, and libels kept the southern
States in continual turmoil. "Outrage
and frau6" are fine words to come from
the men who have been guilty OF the worst
outrages and frauds that ever disSraced
free country.

Now. let us see what was done in The

1879 to 1882, and when year Is mentioned

that wear, and, therefore, beginning July

from July 81, 1878, TO jury 81, 1873. ana
1852 means from July 81, 1881, to July

The report OF Superintendent Farr for
the year ending July 81, 1882, shows that
there were opened the following colored
schools:

And the Readjusters arc pretending tnat
all Of this was their work, and are trying
TO create the impression outside OF VIZ,

norton OF the people in the state that as
soon as they carried the Legislature, The
machinery OF the public schools passed I'M
der their control-a statement which Is Tar
from being correct, for the Democratic
school trustees in Office in 1879 held on lin-
iii the expiration of their terms OF Once;
and controlled the school boards until
/ 1850. The real cause Of the increase in the
number of the schools was the passage OF
the Henkel bill, which was passed at the
session OF 1S79-'S0, which was introduced
by Democrats. Mr.. Riddlcbergel spoke III
derisiye tones OF it, and said it was "not
worth as much us a cancelled postage

through. and it proved the salvation OF the
public schools but with infinite cheek the

and wealthy citizen, was nominated for the

Immediately after the adjournment OF

STANARDsvILLE, September u, 1883.
Yesterday was court-day at Standards
vile, Greene county, and owing TO the
weather the attendance was small. But for
the rain there would have been a general
outpouring OF the people, As it had been
advertised that there would be a joint dis
cussion. The court adjourned at l O'Clock,
when Harry Tucker, OF Staunton, son Of
Hon. John Randolph Tucker, was intro
duced, and spoke one hour. Though not
prepared, and not expecting 10 speak, he
acquitted himself with credit.
Mr.. Wise was then introduced, and, after
speaking a short time. Mr.. Sims, the Co
alition-Republican chairman, and II. T..
HUBBARD, OF Richmond, appeared on the
stage, when an arrangement was made for
joint discussion-Hubard to open In one
hour and close IN twenty minutes; Wise TO
speak half an hour.
Mr.. Hubard's speech was resume Of
the old debt question, and an appeal to the
colored people.
Hon. G. ID. Wisc's reply was as follows I:
Mr.. Hubard has told you that we are not
engaged In the election OF President, and
