MARTISspuRG, VIVA, October7. Judge
Maxwell addressed our people at the Court
House last night for nearly two hours.
Every inch OF sitting and standing room
was taken, and throughout the entire
evening the closest attention was given
the Judge while he arraisued the "Rinp
Democracy" for the manner in which tliey
have governed this State. The Judges
remark, that, If elected Governor, he
would set aside the assessment order of
Gov. Jackson, caused loud and continuous
applause. The Supreme Court WIS Shown

Inc dangers OF suclia precedent going un.
feDuked, were shown in clear aud logical
manner. Quite an amusing dialogue was
carried on between the Judge and Mr..
Spangler, Z. W. Wilson's uncle. lI7'

while he WIS up North filling n Contract

Yes, said Maxwell, .'as mn evidence
that ne never was very fond OF work.
while he was 4 member Of the Lcgisla-
ture, he claims great credit for introducing

and on his own motion the resolution was

trial traits brought down the house. s4
The speech as a whole was in striking
contrast with the one delivered here bv
Mr.. Wilson. Mr.. Maxwell showed BY his
clear, gcntlemanly and scholarly manner
IN presenting the issues OF the day that he
would make Il safe Governor for the whole
people; while Mr.. Wilson showed by his
vic. epithcts and obuse Of ut least one
half OF our people that lie is not fit per.
son TO rule over Christian people. At
the conclusion Of Judge Maxwells speech
Mr.. U. :. Grant Pitzcr, on behalf Of four
young ladies' OF the fMartinsburg high
school, presented the Judge with a beau.

Your correspondent alter mnclipc with
the people and hearing their comment
ieels safe in saying that Judge Maxwell
has addedat least one hundred votes to the
entire ticket, and that old Berkeley will
on October 18th role UP majority for
Maxwell that will, ii the other counties
IN the State do their duty, result in sweep
ing mossback bourbonisn forever from
power in this State, and give West Vir-
glnla grand start in the column OF
States that will in November next proudly
march forth with their electoral votes for
our gallant leader from tile pine tree State,

| ~ r GENERAL beavers SUCCESS.
General James A. Beaver, whom, if the
Republicans OF Pennsylvania do their
duty, will be their next Governor, spoke
in the Court House here tonight 10 ono
OF the most enthusiastic meetings held
during this campaign. The loyal Repub.
licans Of Berkeley love General Beaver
for his sterling Republicanism and devo.
tion to his Nation in its darkest hour, and
would, had they tho power, cxult him to
any position to which he might aspire.
With such n feeling on the part OF our
people here it is 10 wonder that he re-
cclycd such an ovation at their hands.
The General spoke for about two hours
making by far the most able argument on
the tariff that has been made during the
campaign. 5;;si -
Before the speaking commenced q large
body Of Union soldiers together with
many 2ex-Confotlcrates, headed by Capt.
w. II. Riggs met and marched ina body
to the Continental Hotel, where General
Beaver was stopping, and paid the Gencr-
al 4 social and non-parlisan call. a,Fs

a beautiful bouquet in her haud, and in
the following neat little speech presented
this token OF the esteem in which Gen.
Beaver is held by our people:
"As the daughter OF an ex.soldier who
fought ut the battles Of Cedar Creek and
Winchester under Gen. Sheridan, and ut
Petersburg and ApponattoX under Gen
eral Grant, present you these beau-
tiiul flowers as an emblem OF my love
for you. You IRE man whom my father
has taught me to love and respect. Gem
cral the blood that you have shed on Vir-
glnia's shore has not been shed in vain
Your name shall be handed down to the
latest posterity. May God bless you and
make you President Of tho United States
in 1885," $3.50, sSfsh5g y. a.
General Beaver in receiving the gift
made short and beautiful mention OF the
sentiment OF flowers, claiming that If the
leg he left on Virginia's soil would enrich
the ground that produced such beautiful
flowers he would not have it back again.
AS to being President lie claimed that he
never expected Office Mt the hands OF any
people, contenting himself with serving
them in the humble manner in which he
had this night. ;i p
