why and wherefore.


The Virqinian announced some days
AGO that the State ticket selected by the
Coalitionists was Mr.. W. II. Turner the
former delegate in the House, and Major
X. Ct. Banks, United States inspector OF
customs. But the slate so nicely framed
was doomed to be smashed. and the man
to smash it was General Groner who.
with old-tIme vigor, entered the contest
with the determination to defeat the
nomination Of Mr.. Turner. His antago'
nism to Turner is claimed TO originate
from General Malone. who during the
last session OF the Legislature could not
always bring Mr.. Turner mp to the rack to
sustain the little General in all his meas
ures. and that he sent word to his friends
in Norfolk to defeat Mfr. Turner by all
means. It is supposed by others that the
opposition OF General Groner to Mr..
Turner is based on his antagOnism, on
personal grounds, TO Captain Henry H..
Turner. the son OF Mr.. Turner. Whatever
the cause. the result OF the meetings last
evening at the various wards was the de-
feat Of the Turner delegates, and it is look
ed upon as certain that the Convention
which meets to-day will nominate Groner
and Banks.

issues OF the campaign. He was listened
to with great attention, and excited ire
mendous enthusiasm. McCaull replied 10
him, and was laughed at for his vulgar an
ecdotes. He made no attempt at discus.

laughed at and ridiculed McCaull until the

ever excited such enthusiasm in this com.

We had a glorious success here to-day.
Il. Il. Berkeley and Il. NJ. Mayo met in
discussion, and never has a Republican
been more literally slaughtered than was
Mayo. | call him Republican because he
repeatedly avOwed that he was one, and
went so far as to say that il negro was
nominated by his party for President OF
these United States he would vote for him.
What a rapid run his has been from De
mocracy when we remember that he was
a supporter OF Daniel in the Convention
which nominated Holiday for Governor.
1t is Just impossible 10 follow Mayo in
his rambling talk. Suffice it to say that
when Berkeley replied ne left no point I'M
touched nor unanswered. The fact is it
was a crushing reply. The reiOnder was
only one half hour, and | really believe that
MAYO was sorry he had to speak at all. Old

report from her.

A larpe crowd was In attendance on our
court TO-DAY TO hear discussion between
Mr.. Samuel +. Coleman, OF Cumberland,
and Mr.. w. c. Pendeton, OF Washington.
The opening speech was made by Cole
man OF three quarters OF an hour, ana he
presented the issues OF the canvass In 4
cool and temperate manner. He was
listened to with the most profound atten-
ton. even by the colored people.
He was followed by Mr.. Pendleton IN .
spcech OF three quarters OF an hour, and
his appearance and manner were decidedly
more agreeable than any speaker they have
had in the county. He presented the Is
sues on his side in n specious and snowy
manner. and labored for full thirty MIN
utes TO prove that the State debt was not
settled, and would not be settled unless a
majority OF the next Legislature were Co
alitlonists. lie alleged that the public
schools had no friends except on the side
OF the Coalitionists, and that they were for
" free ballot and fair count"
Just as his time was up and Coleman had
risen to reply the crowd came near being
broken up by an apparent row amongst
several parties. which was supposed to be
intended for the purpose OF defeating what
was known to be coming in the reply. But
order was restored in some ten minutes,
and the reply was most complete and
crushing.
Coleman is always strong and forcible,
but on this occasion he outdid by far hi.
best effort lie completely took Mr.. Pen
dleton off his pegs, and he had not even
the ragged edge Of point TO rest on. Such
n veil Of applause was seldom heard, and
the very welkin rang with the prolonged
huZZa.
Buckingham will give the largest Demo
cratic vote on the 9Th OF November that
she has given for ten years, and \. {. Gar
nett and +. W. HUBBARD will learn the sad
ITO them but wise lesson that disGppOlnt-
ment is the fate OF Malone and all his fol-
lowers. The day was bright and cheering

and we will shortly be redeemed and re-
lieved Of the present malign influence:
which brood in darkness over our good

ESTHLyILLE, Va,
uid BRISTOL. Tenn, October 10. !
The Democrats had a grand mass-meeting
here to-day. The courthouse could only
be obtained for three hours, and the Ma
honeites claimed the right to close the dis
cussion. Their terms were promptly de-
cined, and a stand erected and seats
placed in the open air.
General Field opened in speech Of two
hours to one OF the largest crowds ever
assembled here. His speech made fine
impression here, and was received with
great applause. Moflett followed in a SUI
perb, bold. and dashing speech OF about
the same length, which was heard by this
large assembly, augmented by the Malone
ties, who had ceased speaking by this time.
Moffetts speech had a telling effect. When
he concluded Pridemore was called for
loudly, and responded in speech OF an
hour, which was a splendid effort, and was
appauded to the echo, and spread dismay
into the ranks Of the opposition.
Richmond was then called out and spoke
for half an hour. dealing gigantic blows
amid great enthusiasm and applause. Not
satisfied yet, the meeting called upon Mr..
III. ii. Hamilton, who spoke few minutes,
doing great good. The meeting then
gave three cheers for the Democratic NOM
inees and dispersed at shutdown. Bailey
spoke about two hours to slim crowd OF
Mahoneites in the courthouse. When he
closed their crowd joined the Democratic
meeting.
The Democrats had glorious day and
carried the voters more than two to one.

The daily Cairo bulletin. (Cairo, Ill.) 1878-1???, 1883-03-23
Lincoln for President in Iss4-How
Arthur IL Worried.

WASHINGTON, March 22.-There seems
TO be no doubt that there Is 4 plan TO bring
shout the nomination Of ; ,cretary Lincoln
for the Presidency. Whether the plan will
be successful or not remains TO be seen.
Intimate riends of Lincoln say that while
he is ambitious In this line, he thinks that
the next campaign will be too soon, and
that he would prefer 10 see the matter 60
over until 1888 so far as he Is concerned,
Yet should II be seen that be IN the man 10
lead the party 10 success In 1884 he will not
object. II really seems that President
Arthur has little desire TO reWain another
term in the White House. Hk stay there
has not been very agreeable one, for he
has been driven TO death with the cares OF
Office and demands OF all grades OF
his party for office. Speaking OF the
continuous press OF business q couple OF
days ago he said that It had kept up con-
stsntly since tho close OF Congress, almost
as steady n before. II thought" he
said, "that should get some rest after
Congress adjourned, but II seems impossi,
Bile TO get II. II could have three days Of
uninterrupted quiet could clear up the
mass Of business that has accumulated on
my desk and Is pressing upon me con.
stantly. But cannot get three hours, 10
say nothing Of three days Of quiet. There
are callers whose business and whose posi-
| ton are such that they cannot be refused,
and so day after day and week after
week the burden continues 10 weigh mo
| down.
Mr.. Phillips, the Presidents private
secretary, said TO your correspondent re-
Gently that the number Of callers and the
| demands upon the Presidents time seemed
! to have increased since the adjournment
rather than decreased.
