Correspondence OF the Richmond Dispatch.
SOUTH BOsTON, October 80, 1884.
This Is probably the last communication
shall write the Dispatch before the elec-
ton, and in closing up nv WORK as 10 the
canvass in this section it Is with the firm
belief tat Halifax. even though she stand
alone. will give n rOuslns Democratic ma
ioriiy. This have always cOnscientiou,ly
clsimcd-not with desire TO send you
cheap political capital, with no foundation
upon which TO rest my assertions. The
enormous crowd at court last Mon
day, the patience, nay, enthusiasm, and
evident enjoyment with which they
listened to the magnificent speeches OF
Major Daniel and General liuntou the
large and unusual audiences. composed Of
our best citizens, which have greeted
Major Daniel at every appointment he In,
made in this county; the words OF COM
mendatiOu, admiration, and cordial CO.
operation that TALL from every Demo-
cratic and many former Reidjuster
lipS-all these are indication, whose
import cannot be mistaken nor mis-
understood. our party was never bet
ter organized for the shock Of Tuesday.
The people are thoroughly aroused. and
will turn ont and work with all the ardor
they usually manifest in local and lcgisla-
tive elections.
Tuesday Daniel filed an appointment al
Republican Grove. iii, reception was Oh
a par with those that had preceded il. We'd
nesday ne was n Oak Level, and there, too.
he met with an ovation from the sterling
Democratic constituency OF that section
that must have gladdened the heart OF all
who desire the success OF our ticket. Gene
raj HuntOn was also at both places. aud did
a work Tor which there i no man more
peculiarly fitted than himself. His long
experience in Congress while Blaine wa
there; bis craftsmanship OF the committee
which investigated the charges brought
against Mr.. Blaine IN the House Of Repre-
seniatiVeS, and his ripe and scholarly ana
sound mind were sources from which he
threw a light upon the Republican parry
ana lis presidential candidate that exposed
the fraud and corruption vi one, while II
showed the weakness, and uniitncsN OF the
Other for the high position to which he 50
srdently aSpire>.
To-day Daniel is addressing a meeting at
Red Bank Here. too, he Is almost hero,
so great is the admiration OF this people for
him. All this is calm statement OF fact
no eXaggeratiOn, no establishment OF
fancy. Why, even in the several Demo-
craft campaign clubs scattered through
out the county there are numbered among
the members mdny cOlored voters thing
never before heard Of in tli- county in
presidential election.
"SOAP.'
But great tfOTt j. being made 10y Re
publican whipprIS-n 10 turn the tide they
see setting in 80 adversely for them. Last
Satu day Blaine canyaSser passed
through, and have 1t from good authol-
itv bat he lett quite a snug bar OF Dorsey
Elkins- Dudley sOap--abOut $1,000. This
VIII not materially affect the result, how
ever.
PLEAsANTBlEs.
Last night number Of gentlemen were
returning 10 South Boston from Wolf Trap,
where they had been to aid in organizing a

A couple Of miles from here. in = tlick

the bushes. They renIed not. nor did
they remain, neither did they stand upon
The order OF their going, for an obedienl
horse, in response TO urgent eXhortationS,
immediately shook the dust OF that spot
from his willing feet and scImpcred for
more quiet and peaceful retreat-homc.
