sPEFCTEs AND GREAT ENTHUSIASM.
According TO announcement the Demo
crats OF Monroe Ward gathered in large
numbers at Singer Hall last night. The
meeting was called 20 order hy Mr.. u. ~.
smith, Jr., who introduced Colonel I. j.
Evans rs the first speaker. Colonel Evans
was received with uproariouS applause.
and from the commencement to the end OF
his speech commanded the attention OF the
audience and provoked their pleasure. He
attacked the back-and-tan COalltlOnlstS,
showed their partisan and ultra feeling, ana
after dealing graphically in local matters
turned his attention 10 national politics.
II YOU are after spoils, go with the fellows
who 20 for Arthur because Arthur Is Tor
them: but YOU will have to go mighty
quick, or all the sp0is will be gone.
He said during an experience OF sixty
wears he had never seen such an important
election a. this in this State. He paid All
the candidates high compliment, mode>tly
refraining from any allllsion TO himself.
He called upon the people TO poll the full
vote, and argued strongly for the sake OF
the country that the Democrats make up
majority OF 10000 or 10000 IN the coming
election.
Mr.. John \. Curtis was next introduced.
He said he was white son OF Virginia,
and upon this issue he intended to fight
this campaign. William Malone could
never bind him in the Shackles OF negro
slavery. The question was whether a
black or white man should rule Nirginia's
destiny. Richmond was safe, but let her
people lend their aid in defeating the mse-
( rable horde OF enemies OF our beloved
state. A man had better be dead than TO
allow William Malone 20 lead him captive
under negroes. No negro or Readiuster
should ever trample upon him. Colonel
Evans had said nothing Of his own candl-
dacv. but he wanted Evans elected. He
was a GOOD shot. lie Curtis would flush
them and Evans would bring them down.
He pledged his energy, bis fortune, and his
life for the white people OF Virginia
AGAINST the domination Of the negro.
CAPTAIN VI. l.. Spotswood, upon being
introduced, pictured the brightness OF the
outlook. From Il personal canvass he
knew that both men and women were
aroused to the important issues OF the day.
Men from every part OF the State had told
him that this was q crisis, and that the best
men were in the field armored and ready
70 do or die. Why was thi5I Because
there was something more at stake than
the passage OF laws. We have personal
goods al stake; the good order OF virginia
was at stake. We are not contestlng WIN
Readiusters. That question Is dead, SET
tied. and gone. 1t is the Republican
n,rty-nothing else-with which we have
10 deal. Ii these people succeed, the ne
croes will rule Virginia. Great God
What thought. There were only 100000
Chinese in the United States, and yet the
cry was heard coming up from all quarters
against the Chinese. He attacked Gov
ernor Cameron on his celebrated remark
that he would not "giye the pairing OF Ma
homes toe-nails for the boasted honor OF
the Funder party" He placed John ).
Wise on record ~ saying some years since
that every Virginia Republican was "an
anostate for the price OF his apostacy."
Mr.. James y. Dunlop was next called
Tor He smoke OF the evils which would
hefall us from the domination OF the Cosli-
tion negro party. In the capture OF Rich
mond they would obtain the coveted prize
of their political ambition. Tried by the
trial OF fact. this black party must receive
. verdict of dire condemnation. Let the
neonle see the wounds Virginia was about
10 receive. and the very stones would cry
ont in horror against these fagrant and
violent enemies. The Radical party wa.
ready NJ all times TO declare itself the ene-
nv Of good government, and based it,
black pretensons upon basis OF lowest
IGNORANCE. The Coalition party was not f;
ncmocrotic party, but was utterly opposed
10 the rights OF the people. The action Of
