Capt. Phil w. Mckinney. the Democratic

last, was, at o'clock on the night of his ar
rival, serenaded at the Virginia Hotel by the
"stonewall Brigade Band" Though the hour
was late aud the weather cold, a large audience
was In attendance, anxious to see and hear the
distinguished gentleman whom the Democrat
ic party had selected to carry It's banner in this
campaign.
he was, In an appropriate manner, intro
duced to the audience by Ed. Echols. ESQ,
Democratic candidate for the State Senate.
when Mr.. Mckinney expressed his thanks to
the Band for the honor of their serenade, and
to the audience for their presence aud the
spirit they manifested, and his regret that he
was unable to Nuke speech at that time as 1t
would impair his voice and disable him from
filling his appointment on Monday as he de-
sired. He hoped they would all be at the
Courthouse on Monday when he would dis
cuss fully the issues in the canvass. He had
been over a good portion of the State, and
wherever he had been, both in the white and
black districts, the people seemed united and
determined in their purpose to elect the Demo-

Virginia in the las t canvass could not be play
ed upon Virginia-that not enough of Illegal
voters could be imported into Virginia from
other States to defeat the Democratic party.
In response to calls, Hon. H. St. Geo. Tuck
er and Capt. Jas. Bumgardner, jr., made briet.
pointed earnest. and eloquent speeches. They
maintained that the questions which divided
the two parties were not in Issue in this can
vass, but thatit was whether the people would
choose for Governor an honest and pure man
who would guard their Interests with unselsh
devotion, or one who was VIGOROUSLY dishon-
est and who labored alone for his own selfish
interests. In word. 1t was a contest OF the
people without regard to party affiliations, or
race, or conditions in life, against faction led
by an IN Inscriptions and ambitious man, who
If entrusted with power, would bring ruin and
disgrace upon the State.

CURRY AND HoUFF,
Mr. Charles Curry followed the doughty
OFarrall, with outstretched arms and strain
ed voice and shivering emotion as he laid
down the issues and sung the same old song.
Mr. Houff, the Secretary, closed the day. He
said he was not for Malone. but would sup
port him. He said he was the oldes Of all the
Republicans of Augusta and made the first
speech OF that faith ever delivered in the coun-
ty.
THE NIGHT MEETING.
About the same number and political COM
plexion of persons attended the night meeting
at the Skating Rink, where Major Mcmahon
again presided and Introduced the speakers.
colonel Lamb led off and made almost literal.
~ the same speech he did in the morning. He
stated nothing at the hight meeting which he
did not during the day, worthy of NOT t,except
to give an account of the interviews which
took place between Malone and himself, as TO
which should be the candid ate for Governor.
He could have had the No miration, and Gent
Mahone's opportunities In that matter did
not cease till one hour before the time for the
assembling OF the convention. He also refer.
red to Mahone's organization Of the party,
which he did not approve. and said he would
not, If otherwise willing to run for Governor
consent to do so. under the existing plans and
methods of organization.
The redoubtable O'Farrall was again on haAd
and first expressed his indignation that he
should have been announced as coming from
the wicked City" of Chicago. He said his
home was Washington and there he know Gen:
Mahone-that General Malone wrote to him
soliciting his aid in the canvass and to state
his price. He replied that he would willingly
do so without any charge and he was here to
stay in the canvass till the 5th November. The
balance of his harangue was about like 1t was
in the forenoon. 1t is supposed he is oneof the
Quay-Dudley reinforcements.

A contract for printing bonds (SS0000) was
made with one company. but was violated to
give the contract 10 another party for the
reason that it had given 5000 for campaign
purposes. The State was sued for the amount
and required to pay it. The case was taken to
the Court of Appeals, all the Judges Republi-
can, and 1t was decided to be violated con
tract and should be paid. The people don't
want to change from Lees to an administra
tration like that.
In another violated contract-in this case
for the building of a Lunatic Asylum-the
State was mulcted from ten to twelve thousand
dollars.
The Republican administration deposited
Sl35,0O0 in Bank at Petersburg which was
lost, and all the money but about $4,000 went
into the hands of the party in power.
