The Manchester Republicans held their
first public meeting in this campaign in front
Of the market-house last night. A stand
had been erected where the one from which
the Democratic orators spoke Thursday
night stood. On this were members OF the
Richmond and Danyille Railroad Band. the
speakers OF tue evening, Thomas {" shorty y
Smith (whO preslded), A. B. Tyson, B. B.
Wesiger. and other local politicians Of this
persuasion. There were, perhaps. 800
persons present, not more than two
thirds OF whom are Republican voters,
and more than - per cent. oi
these were colored. The first speaker
was Colonel II. G. Parsons, OF Rockbrdge,
and he was followed bY William II. Mullen,
the Labor candidate for Congress two years
ago, who retired a few days before the elec-
tion in favor OF Hon. George ID. Wise. Dir.
Mullen spoke very briefly and his effort was
principally devoted to lsudlng the personal
character Of Judge Waddill. He rather inti-
rated that the issue Is not one between two
parties, hut a question "a TO whether the
cotlon-mills ana Belle Isle will not close il
Cleveland IS reelected.
Ex-,Judge Edmund Waddill, the Repub-
! lican STANDARD. bearer, followed in some
what lengthy discourse. lie predicted tri-
umphant victory for the Republican ticket (;
endeay0red 10 reiute certain statements
thst he had heard Of Captain Wise's making
concerning his (Waddilfs) refusing 10 meet
him in joint discussion, dc. lie said If the
Governor were to speak over here he ought
10 bring a big book with the irontispece
bearing the words, "Thc things that / have
failed to do for the workingmen." After
deVoting nearly hall an hour TO these mat
ters Slr. Waddil proceeded 70 address him
self to the workingman, using such argu-
ments as were designed to captyaic hi4
hearers, especially the colored element.
The speaker endeayored to hold his
audience until the arrival Of Mr. Jar
rett Of Pennsylvania, who first spoke
in Richmond. This gentleman addressed
himself especially to the tariff, which
subject he has made a special study. Mr..
Jarrett was heard in this city four years ago
during the Blaine.CleYeland campaign.
Unless the Republican ticket receives
msuy more votes in Manchester than last
nights meeting would indicate they will
come out sadly in the minority.

A SKETCH OF TIE SPEECH.

The speaker made appropriate reference 10
the invitation to address his fellOw-citzens
and the welcome which greeted his appear
ance, and said he would show his apprecia-
tlon Of the compliment as well as OF the mag
nihIde OF the contest by an abstinence from
anything adapted to wound the most scnsl-
tive.
This was the last presidential election in
the first century Of our Government and was
an illustration Of Democratic institutions and
the highest function OF popular representa-
tive government. These elections sre edu-
catOTy, and show the dominancy OF law.
Since the war We have had sectional strife,
the array Of angry passions, and the fierce
waving OF the bloody shirt In this contest
there has fortunately been an elimination, 10

The lifting up az the contest to higher
plane Is the result OF Cleveland maenanlmity,

has done more than his predecessors for the
paciicatiOn and uni1ca,Ion OF the country.
The prophecies as 10 the payment Oi COnicd-
crate bonds, pensiOning Of Confederate sol
dicrs OF injustice 10 the negroes, are all iaisi-
fed. With Republicans the only test Of lcyal-
ty. OF love for the Union, was voting the Re-
publican ticket Al otheraSsuranceS or proofs
were disregarded. NOmatter what personal
or DOlticcl antccedents Republican vote
aiOnes for all crimes. The South, by voting
for Greeley, Mcclellan, Hancock, &c, hy a
thousand methods, had given proofs OF iideli-
ty TO the Union, OF thorough reconstruction.
Cleveland accepted assurances, recognized
our equality in thc Union, adopted the policy
OF cancellation not Of hate, and bound the
south To the Union by hoops OF steel. In
his appointments his confidence has not been
misplaced, and abroad and at home The South
has protected the ilag and the interests OF the
country equally with the North. This Ie-
stored fellowship, this knitting OF alienaied
secliOns-is an incalculable gain. We have
now indestructiDle States in an indissoluble
