cloQucnty culogizcd Colonel Brady,

Mr. Langston said that liberty de-
mauded that somebody should be buried.
Tho funeral Of Mnhoue and Arnold must

Tremendous applause. Speaking of
the Petersburg Republican primaries,
Mr. Langston said thst he took General
Malone on the latter's own ground,
and when he got through with him there
was nothing lett Of Malone. Referring
tD General Mahone : recent circular, MIR.
Langst0n sand that every vote for Arnold
Was first a whole vote for Arnold, Demo
craL and then whole vote for Nenable.
Democrat Propositions had been over
heard in the streets that the Arnold men
should come over TO the Democrats
Yet they impugned Lsngstons Repubh-
canism
Mr.. Langston paid most handsome
compliment to the treatment he had re-
ceiyed at the hands of the Democrats OF
the district, and sand he feared not harm
from them ON election-dAy. But he
should never cease 10 fight the man who
rides the negro with whips and spurs and
rides to his political deaIn.
Commenting upon recently-issued
circular OF the Arnold men Mr. Lanys-
ton said that it would surely be either
Langston or Nenahle in the next Con
gress, for there was not Il ghost OF a
chance for Arnold. He had the greatest
respect for Mr.. Nenahle, SO great. in
deed, that on the morning OF tho eth OF
November he should congratulate Mr.,
Neuabe on Langston's election to Con-
ercss.
Sir. Laugston repudiated and CHARGE
terized as an unqualified lie the charge
that he had advised colored men TO vote
