Col. O'Ferrall seems to have put on his
war paint early in the canvas. After the
Convention which nominated him at Lu-
ray, on the 22nd of August, had adjourned,
serenade was extended him at night
The Page Courier gives the following as a
part of his speech in response
He stated in the course of his remarks
that he was, in this canvass, the bearer of
the lCllite man s banner, which he would
proudly carry from one end of this district
to the other that he did not want negro
vote, or negro votes adding with an ele-
gance Of thought and delicacy OF diction,
highly appreciated by the ladies and gem
tlemer who heard him. that 1.-THE negro is

present, with the reading of long list of

OF eternal vigilance and party fealty. made
up his speech. He. closed at last to the
relief OF everybody, for we are glad to
state, that OF our own knowledge, many of
his party friends condemned much that he
said.
The Colonel has changed his views very
materially since 1872, when he was not
only willing, but anxious to receive negro
votes, and in order TO get them, allowed
his name to be placed on the Republican
ticket.
