AarroDov. VA. September 2i.-The
horsemen who rode Of to their mountain
homes last evening carried 90 their Isolated
neiehborhoods. as tho Newspaper dis
patches did 10 the urban public, the nm
Questionable intelligence that MahODe's
self-orgauzed ovation dwindled down %
o meeting OF moderate proportions and
that even this was lamentaby curtallcd
when band in the street playing and A
Democratic voice in the warehouse sounded
the CIV. This way, freomen," and pointed
the path 10 Temperance Hall. Thus shorn
OF his glory, Malone went through MS
speech with the indomitabie spirit charac-
tcristic Of him. and did well for ono who ~
no orator. but after the excitement was
over he suffered great collapse Of disap-
p0iuiment. worry and excitement. and took
10 bed for several hours. After supper he
rallied sufficiently TO get up and give
audience 20 several northern newspaper
correspondents and TO pour into their ears
charges against those who were formerly
his bosom friends.
BILLYs BosH.
During his trip he has been saving that
Major :. NJ. YOst was . cashiered COnfede-
rate officer: that John 4 Lewis WAS the
only man he ever knew 20 decline cab--
net Office never rendered; that he has bad
no report If John :. Wise saving anything
against him, and that the "kickers' can
almost be counted on the fingers and
don't amount to anything. At present
what with snarling at those who failed 10
mako the Abingdon meeting the great sue
cess the memorable ovation, that he
hoped. and denunciotion If cx-friends, the
General has had very little time to devote
10 tho abuso Of Democrats
UNFORTUNATE AILUsIONs
His worst ullusion 20 Mckinney was in
connection with q criticism Of the decla-
ration If Mckinney az Charlottesville that
1--WE have no moro use now for this war
tariff than We have for heaYr bat
taliOus." which were % necessity Of the
davs Of battle and blood, and Malone
added snccrinCly Some gentlemen
knowvery lttleot those heavy battahons.
II was of course an insiuuati0n that Nc
Kinney wasn't much of a soldier. il ls m
insinuation that Malone viii repeat, and
perhaps enlarge upon in his tour in the
back country, and which McKinnev's
friends can easily meet by showing that
though not a brigadieT, Mckinney never
found rcfugcin a covered way though not
charged with the leadership OF heavy
battaiOus.' Mckinney was 50 TAR III the
thick Of the fight as 10 receive upon his
person wounds that well nigh caused
death
In keeping with this libel was the absurd
statement that Mckinney at Marion last
year threatened Virginia with kuklux..
Mahone's eulogy of the cclorcd brother,
and the fact that Landon BOydand another
negro Were thought good enough IT, follow
tho General in addressing the audience
have brought M the race question at tins
very point where ne would put it down
for YOU know, M0hones game is to en-
deavor to stop the ears Of the southwest
ern people by arguing that this race issue
is a seusclcss cry.
THE DEBT QUESTION.
In the discussion Of the debt question,
where expectation was raised high but
doomed never 10 be gratlfied by even the
harest outline Of "a plan. Malone referred
TO the Re0djuster measures rs the Read
iuster debt settlement ia preference 10
breathing the name of his senatorial col
league by saving THE Riddlebergcr bill
hut not a thought in al that speech did the
little General dcign 10 bestow upon the
kckcrs except by studious and laborious
avoidance of mention of them.
The Democratic meeting, gotten up
upon brief notice, largely exceeded Ma
homes, and TAYLOR Scott, r. !. Barton,
and John Daniel held their crowd IN un-
broken ranks tor four hours. That Circu-
lar produced and quoted by Barton Is an
important campaign document. 1t was
written by q Yankee. a cOlored Yankee per-
haps. though signed by Malone a. Of date
August y. 1880. and all through it j. the
expression lyon want as SYNONYMOUS
expression for "you should.n or "yoJ de-
sire or " you need 1t warns the col
ored public that the Democrats will have
new registrations wherever rercgistratlou
will do our party good, and TO meet this
exigency W. proposes the plan Of paid
riding and walking bosses.
An EXTRACT.
The following Is an extract: " The cOun-
tv chairman wants 10 notify the pastors OF
the colorcd churches and get them 10 give
notice of this rercgistratiOn and 70 urge
their flock 10 90 up and register.
One man in charge of the precinct
wants in addition TO select two or
three of our most reliable cOlOrcd
men to walk over the precinct and
10 set every colorcd voter and 70 have
him go up and register. The men
so selected to go around and notify the
voters 90 get them up % register VIII, on
bill 10 bu certified 10y the precinct chair
man and approved by the county chairman
and sent here, bee paid. When the work
has been faithfully done these men will be
paid rs cents per day and cents par c1plq
for each man he has gotten 10 register"
MAJOR DANIEL.
Major Daniel left Tor home last night
TAYLOR Scott COOS hence 10 Ta2ewell. Mr..
Barton left this morning for stanton.
Malone this morning took the western
train for Bristol, whence he proceeds to
Big-StOne Gap, III Wise county.
All through the Southwest the Demo
Gratis are happy AMI confident. The Ab-
ingdon meeting gave them great JOY. We
will carry more counties in the Southwest
in November than ever before. Speaking
is heard on every hand.
". G. Pcndleton is actively at work IN
Smyth against Malone.
General james A. Walker, OF Wythevllle,
will certainly vote for Mckinney.
Landon Boyd will be remembered IN
Richmond as a colOred brick-laycr and
statesmen who made himself very odious
soon after the war. His record should be
sent mp here.
We hear to-day that Mckinney was quite
unwell and "a resting az Roanoke.
Malone is gathering up lists of EXON
fcderates in this section 10 whom 10 send
documents.
No one in this section can be found to
bet on Malone. The only election wager
effected Yesterday was $50 that Mckinney
would not have over 10, 900 majority.
