Quito a crowd Of negroes were present 20
get glimpse OF tho Republican candidate,
and as the General alighted from the bus
there was "A rush 10 the spot, q craning Of
nccks. and the candidate was soon put into
an uncom mfOriably close space by his mot

Congressman Burrows. who was with
Malone. had no attention whatever paid

HIS APPEARANCE.
Malone was buttoncd mp rather tight in
bis big brown Oyercoat, which looked AS II
10 had served him during many campaigns.
The BIC fur collar Of tins garment was
turned up 10 point where tprotected the
throat 0f the little man. The queer, old
fashioned collar which the General wore
aud which reached up into his now gray
locks. his curious cuffs. and tucks IN the
waist oi bis pants greatly amused the No
grocs. and with broad grins they slyly
touched each other and pointed TO these
queer features in tho dress Of their canGl-
date
Malone carried on his arm n small ira
vcllng-satchel. aud in one hand he had
srrap-book which contained the dnid FOR
his speeches.
IHE TRAIN MOvEs.
Soon the train backed down on the track
in front OF the Chesapeake and Ohio
depot, and the General pushed his way
through the crowd 10 where Mr.. Burrows
stood alone. and addressing the Congress
man, said in his peculiar Whitney voice
" Burrows, let's get TO our seats and take
smoke
The Generals guard nearly all seemed TO
have come into possession Of tickets before
they reached the station, As not many OF
them made purchases at the tlcket-oifce.
Into the smOkng-car they followed Ma
hone and Burrows. and this crowd very
nearly filled that particular part OF the
traln.
AT HANOVER.
When the station called Hanover Court
house. but which Is nearly half a mile from
the Courthouse. was reached about thirty
or forty negroes were waiting on the plat
form either 20 see the train pass or eager
tp greet Malone 1t was doubtless the
former attraction that brought them
ihither. as the General passed almost un-
noticed 10 buggy which was III waiting
for him. No enthusiasm whatever was
shown and Judge Waddill and Malone
quietly drove away. Burrows and Captain
Hudnall were furnished "A buggy IN which
to drive to the Courthouse.
AT The COURTHOUSE.
Arriving at the destination the great
crowd which the Republicans had expected
e. welcome their candidate could not be
sccn. With the hundred or more negroes
carried from Richmond and who had
reached the Courthouse hy near route
across a corn-feld. with others who came
from King William aud Louisa, the crowd
that set up q feeble yell at signal gwen
hy a white man at the approach OF the
General numbered about 800 negroes and

tween the hotel and the court green.
The Republicans had worked hard to
give their candidate a grand reception, and
their disappointment was plainly visible.
On the green were some 400 Democrats,
who smiled as they saw the day was theirs.
Malone, after alighting from the buggy,
walked upon the hotel porch and stood Tor
several minutes facing the crowd. Some
negro, with the appearance OF a Hanover
corn-held hand, sad, pointing TO MdhOne,
Fellor-citizens, dats our next CIV

few feeble cheers. The crowd seemedmore
disposed 70 draw near enough TO get

vidual than applauding the remark o1 their
dusky brother.
BURROWS SPEAKS.
After Malone had spent more than an
hour receiving callers IN room at the ho-
tel he and llr. Burrows were escorted to "a
stand on the court green, where their meet
Ing was held.
The platform was rooted and covered on
the west aud north sides with cotton cloth
in order 10 protect the speakers from the
rather chilly wind. Into u corner where
the sun fell with most warmth the Gene
raj tucked himself, drawing his overcoat
close about his form. .,
County-Chairma John s. Coates called
the meeting 10 order and presented Mr..
William Talley as chairman OF the meet
The latter. in complimentary terms, in

been heard at Hanover Courthouse. The

Mr. Burrows now passed TO discussion
of the Blair bill. the internal revenue, the
tariff. and other matters, claiming that the
Republican party is going TO give the peo-
ple better educational facilities relieve
them of the tObacco-tax, ana protect the
interests Of the country. He al the same
