October Is, 1883.
Samuel F. Coleman met Pat McCauli in
Joint discussion here to-day, II being court
dav MUDDY roads and q rainy, threaten
ing morning did NOT keep the people away
from court. for IL was the last court-day
before election. and. besides. the Demo
Gratis were TO make a nomination.
Coleman had the conclusion on Mccall.
and a more crushing reply | have never
heard from the stump.
The crowd numbered four or five hun
dred. and The estimate from different
sources il thai thrcc-fourths were Demo
Gratis.
McCaull said i'm his opening that Funder
LAWYERS had some Of them promised 10 bum
their law-books when the Riddleberger
hill was decided 20 be constitutional; that
il had now been so decided. and yet he
hadn't heard of any Bon-fres. Coleman
in reply wanted 20 know il he had heard OF
any Bond-trcs either. II he bad not, he
would explain that the Radical Republican
Judge Bond who was cheek by lowl with
Malone, had by an opinion OF his put a
lire under the Riddlcberger bill and was
now trying To blow IL up. Loud Yelling
Coleman put al rest the old Rtadiuster
assertion that Democrats had robbed the
public schools by diyeIting money from
them by showing conclusiycy that they
had never done anything of the sort.
Colonel Coleman is one OF the ablcst de-
baicrs on the stump to-day. The enthusi-
asm he aroused was perfectly wild. There
was cheer after cheer, almost amounting to
interruption. especially 30 when he was
explaining 10 the people how Malone. who
now pirates about Tree ballot and fair count,
i'm Hinton'> congressional campaign had
been the father OF tisSue-balotS, IsslIing
instructions from his headquarters that the
ballots for an the district should be gotten
from there and nowhere else.
There has been a rally back 10 the Demo
cratic fold Of nearly all the white Read
justcrs i'm the county, and the cry Is still
they come. This way, frcemcn'
Captain Robert +. Vaughan was nomi-
mated by reclamation i'm open maSs-meet-
inc, and accepted in handsome. earnest
speech. plcdging himself To work from
now till the polls close on the 9th OF No
yember. Captain Vaughan is mar OF
universal popularity. and will enlist the
hearty cooperation Of all men in the county

her sister couuiic, OF Tluyanna, Louisa,
Hanover, Iieurico. Chesterfield. and Pow
hatan. and they will all return Democratic
