The enthusiasm WAS intense, and although

I've mere minority, the antl-Brady men
have never yet been able 10 assemble so
large and earnest a crowd rs gathered to-
night 10 hear IN exposition of the causes
which have led 10 the irremediable split in
the ranks of The Republican party In this
district. However, the audience didn't
bear what jhcy expected. but on the con.
tIaTy very guarded speech.
iur GOVERNORS SPEECH.
Governor Cameron preiaced by saving
that he had always found the people Of Pc
tcIsburg willing TO listen TO reason. and as
freCmen he appealed 90 them lie had not
come with the intention Of making speech,
for he thought he had made himself plain
enough in letter which he had written
few days sgo. He had come rs a
dtizcn II the Fourth district TO say that he
had ~ many rights ~ any other citizen,
snd INTENDED 10 exercise them. lie did not
wish 90 he misunderstood; nc was no fac
tlous rebel fighting his party. A voice:
.sW bat pariyy"l "My prty--,he Repub-
,icsn party
SIGNIFICANT LANGUAGE.
The Governor considered this interrupt
iion imyertinCnt. aud adGed significantly
tha; II any person should make an Objec-
tioualle remark with the intention Of in
>uliinc him. he would reply that at some
time m The future he would not be
Governor 81 Virginia. but only a
Yr,yeic citizen. aud that then the
Icr>on who delivered an insult would
lc lbc 1r,i who had ever Extensively APP
proachcd him who did not subsequently,
hear IRON lim. This much as 70 his per-
Soral accountability. He wanted TO be
calm and digniied. and only wished 10 say
what he thought was righs-to advise what
10 40. not 10 dictate. He was no;
Ircseut 70 advocate any particular c1ndi-
date. but thought that the people ought to
name thtir Own man. The person who
w, fairly chosen by the Convention
would never meet with opposition from
Inn. There were some people IN the Com
-pouwealth who held that he 0he SpeakeTl
thought no man had a right to have an
oumion ,xccW himself. This was not 50.
Other vcoul, had Just As much right TO be
mistaken - he had to be right. When he
had found out the man whom the people
wanted De- would support him.
Will N0I SUPPORT ANACHlNE CANDIDATE.
lie would not support machine candi-
c.;s. and 4 Ibis were treason. the most
could b made = n. Tie did not intend to
make auy FIGHT outside Of hi> party. and he
wanted IN, Democratic friends - well
~ his R,pu,ncsn friends to under
stand this. As 10 abuse within his
own party. be- had bis own opinion,
and h. intended 20 bold TO it. lie had not
CON, with Tie intention Of saving anything
urkint about anybody. but he wanted TO
lay il down - principle that the PEOPLE
had The right 20 name the representatives
Of their political life. The slavery OF the
mind and Of The ballot was worse than the
slavery 81 the body.
FOR BLAME AND LOGAN.
lie wanted 20 say to every body present
that he was for Blaine and Logan and
protective tsriiT. II the people had their
way he would support the nominee cor
diallv and chceriul'y. he wanted candidly
70 say that be would not support any man
smpiy because he was a white man or black
man. He wanted the best man, irrcSpec-
tyc Of color. He had been trusted and
honorcd ly the people Of the Fourth dis
uici. and he promised them that there
would never be any di>cord unless In de-
fence OF principe which he deemed more
sacred than success.
SENATOR GAINES SPEAKS.
4 speech was then made by Senator
Gaines. who spoke briefly but effectively.
lie earnestly pleaded for the nomination Of
man who should be the peoples choice.
In bis county he said the people
are opposed TO the machine and stand
forty 10 one against the job which
the revenue ring is attempting 10 fost
upon them. and will not support the ma
chine candidate. II such a candidate he
nominated. The difficulty in the Republi-
can Jary is Of this nature: The people
have sworn in their might that there i one
individual whom they do not want and
whom they viii not have.
DENOUNCTNG THE RING.
lie appealed 10 the Republicans to avert
The present evil with which they are
threatened, and said that those opposed TO
tie rim should make every effort TO do
this IN the Convention tomorrow, and ii
they failed they should have TO correct it
outside Of that Convention. To stand such
AT outrage a. the ring was attempting 10
iuAici upon them was TO disrupt the Re-
publican PARTY. The machine he said, had
iii Oh Z little more than Il can chew, and
We propose % make II y0mit.
