BY the Darnesville baud. by noon the city
was filled with people who came from six or
sight counties 10 hear the address OF Mr.,

ERucK's ADDRESS.
At the grove large platform had been
erected. Rev. Mr.. Knox, colored minister,

ton OF that people prior 10 the reconstruct.
ion mevsuren and subsequent thereto was a
very Interesting historical matter and very
ieiicitously treated. The hollowness OF DEM
ocratic protestations Of friendship for the
oolored people attested by the evidence OF
history WAS another powerful objection to
the support Of Democrats at the hands OF col.
cred people mada by Mr.. Bruce. The consist.

tmes and under all circumstances to his PEG.

FINANCE OF adhesion on the part Of his peo-
pie to that party.
THE TRIBUTE TO ELAINE.
The mcst eloquent portion OF bis address,
however, was bis appeal 10 MEN OF all parties
and colors 10 coms to tho support OF Ar.
Blaine, "who had been the earliest.
strongest, most consistent and most positive
supporter Of thst great christian sentiment,
the brotherhood OF man." Blaine" he
claimed, "is the mos. patriotic, the mos. in.
telllgent, the most Vigorous, the most Amer.
lean candidate that has ever been offered for
the consideration Of bis couutrymen. No
such maa with such admirable aud states.
manlike qualities has ever bsen presented.
He commends himself To all classes and con.
ditiops. 10 all creeds and religions, to all
kindred, and all tongues. He is the mos,

people all have confidence In him, His

Po1SDI1rER's POINTS.
Rev. Mr.. Poinde1ler, OF Columbus, inside a
briof address, directed more particularly to
men OF his own race in the audience, that
br!atled with good points and good sense.
Mr.. Poindexter is a fine tAlker, and 1t ia
understood will do some campaign work in
Ohio. He and Senator Bruce both CAME
from the same locality 10 Virginia.

4 TALK WITH Mr.. DRUC5.
An 1sTELlIGE.cER representative had few
minutes' conversation with Senator Bruce,
in the course OF which he said: II think
that We have the most magnificent prospects
for carrying the country this time. The re-.
vulsioa In favor OF Blaine is something phe.
nomenal. No man ever had tte ssme hold on
the affections OF great people. have besn

favor OF both OF the candidates Hendricks
nomination | regard ss very weak. His
treachery to Mcdonald, his an,ipsthy TO
Tilaen. his lack Of SINCERITY are ali against
him. Postmaster General Gresham tells me
that theirs is no enthusiasm In Indiana for
Hendricks. General Sharpe, OF New
York, one Of the shrewdtst gaugers of
public sentiment, told ME a few days
ago thst Blaine would undoubtedly carry
New York. At first there was q lack OF fssI.
ing, but now 1t appears that every man is in
the Republican ticket BY largely increased
msjoriiy. Indians will do The ssme thing
while look for substantial break in tho
Southern States. West Virginia, Florida
Tennessee and North Carolina sra reasonably
certsin to vote for Blaine. By the way. I
think one great mistake the Republicans
have made heretofore was TO abandon the
South 70 the Democrats without an effort.
Why, there are asveral States down there
that could be with little effort restored to the
line. AL that have mentioned
could be brought back, and maybe
one or two Others. The South Is
