HENRY COUNTY.
The Democrats Thoroughly Orannized-Ciuo
Meetings.

The Democrats Thoroughly Organized-Ciuo
Meetings.
Correspondence ofthe Richmond Dispatch !
SPENCER, October 20, 1885.
Every precinct in this county is no v
thoroughly organized. The Democrats
are being wrought up to high tension.
A club has been organized at this place,
known as the Freeman's Club" with
upwards of hundred members. AT
our meeting Saturday night there wero
about one hundred and seyenty-fiye
true-blue Democrats. Messrs. F. d.
Hunt and W. o. Hardaway, Esqs., OF
Martinsyille, addressed the club. Mr..
Hunt was greeted with deafening APP
plause. lie was an original Readjust-
er. but when Malone went into the
Republican camp he renowned his allie
glance and resumed his place in the
Democratic ranks. He discussed the
issues of the campaign forcibly and in
diligently, and made many votes for
our party. He is the most popular
young man in the county, and speaks
with ease and grace.
Mr.. Hardaway followed in bold and
aggressive speech. He is the canyasser
for this senatorial district. He is a
gentleman of high mental endowments,
we'll posted upon the issues of the day,
and placed the record Of the Democratic
party before his audience in mastery
manner. His speech was responded to
by vociferous cheering. He unveiled
the iniquity Of the enemy, and his ex-
coriation Of the Malone ticket was
greeted with great applause. He, too,
was an original Readjuster and took an
active part in Cameron's election.
There are continued changes to tho
Democracy. Hon. S. j. Griggs, ex-
member of the House under the Ma
hone regime, is with us this time. lie
has large influence and his conversion
to our faith means something. Il. w.
Steelly, former postal agent on our rail-
road, is now one of our most Jealous
workers. Still they come. All such
men as these are heartily welcomed.
Strangers who visit this county say
it is the best organized county in the
State. Tell Mr.. Barbour to put Henry
down as sure for the ticket by large
majority. CoLFAX.
Richmond dispatch. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1884-1903, 1885-10-21

Malone has received large sums of
money from South-haters and monopo-
lists with which to bride voters and
carry on his other nefariOus work.
But the Democrats can and must defeat
the corrupt and dangerous petty boss
State.
Let the moneyed men see to it that
Mr.. BARBOUR has as much as General
MALONE. 1t would be shameful to
allow MALONE to buy his way back to
the United States Senate. How many
thousands Of dollars would it damage
Richmond to have this city turned over
to the tender mercies Of MALONE
governed by a commission Of his ap-
pointment?

NORFOLK AND PORTSMOUTH.

Political Meeting Nomin M tion--F Fish.
Correspondence OF the Richmond Dispatch
NORFOLK, October 20, 1885.
A handful of Republicans met secret
" last night in bar-room on Market
Square, in Portsmouth, and nominated
MIR. Pat. McDonough as the Republic
can candidate for tie House Of Dele
gates from that city. None of the
prominent Republicans were present or
took any interest whatever in the nomi-
nation. In fact, the party has lost its
grip in Portsmouth, and its strength is
growing beautifully less ~ every day.
Those Republicans retained in the
navy-yard have not only contributed
literally to the campaign fund, but
have announced that they intend to
support the ticket.
A young man named Courier died
suddenly last night at his home, on the
corner of Clay and Queen streets.
After he expired the body became
greatly swollen and turned black all
over. The doctors are greatly mysti-
fed.
This season has been remarkable for
the enormous quantity of that delicate
and succulent pan-fish the spot, taken
daily at all the fisheries on Chesapeake
bay shore. The season opened in July,
and the rush in market is as great now
as ever, though it usually closes at the
end of September. Fishermen predict
that it will run to December. The like
was never known before, and the fish
have sold as low as twenty cents a
bushel from the carts.
The people of the neighborhood Of
Mount Pleasant, Norfolk county, are
considerably excited over the discovery
of the headless body Of an unknown
colored man to-day in a swamp on the
farm of William Carlin, on the Norfolk
and Southern railroad. The matter is
shrouded in mystery and coroner's
jury are now investigating it. A muir
der is suspected.
Hon. John E. Massey will not speak
here tomorrow night, and in conse-
quence Of continued illness cannot fill his
engagements in the Second district.
Several saw-mills in the Dismal
swamp, idle since the bank failures Of
last spring, resumed work yesterday.
The Chesapeake and Ohio railroad
steamer Kanawha, disabled in Hamp-
ton Roads last night, was towed here
to-day for repairs.
The colored allies assembled in force
at the courthouse to-day to receive
their share of the campaign fund. which
it was generally reported Captain Pat.
McCaull brought here for them.
