A rousing rally Of Democrats was held in

ana street. last night ut eight O'Clock: and
although the thermometer stood AT ~ ana
the meeting was held in the open air, q

The stand was brilliantly illuminated
with gas. that shown through colored
shades and scores of Chinese lanterns. y

and announced that Mayor EllysOn would

JUDGE CALDWELL.
was loudly appauded when he appeared.
He began by saying that he c5me TO the
meeting under great disadvantages. hui
with much pleasure. and he reloiccd 10 see
! Fulton so aroused. Without further re-
marks he at once announced his text.
but he regretted. he said. that il could
not come from the Bible. II might
| more properly come from the internal re-
gions. II was William Malone This
man. he said. was no Democrat,
because ne clearly did not believe III
Democratic and gentlemaniy principle:
He declared that William Ma ones friends
had found him to be such william that they
deserted him. and he was compelled 10 i'm
port speakers from other states to 90
through the country and sound his praises.
There are some people who insist because
Mahone is backed by the National admins
tration that he represents Republicanism;
but all people who believe that are 80 green
that they wouldn't burn if they were sent
below.
AJTOCRAT.
Malone is a self-consttuted leader. and
his own nominee for Governor I'm the con-
vention AT Norfolk nobody made a speech
until Malone had told him what to say. and
il is asserted that Malone even formulated
the prayer which the minister offered there.
ROSH.
All the talk about Mahonc's friendship
for the Blair bill is bosh. The proof Of the
pudding j. the eating. and on the only
occasion i'm which Malone had an opp0rtu-
niiy 10 vote for the Blair bill he purpOscly
absented himself.
In Richmond Malone struck the most Sc
riOus blow that education ever suffered
when he attempted TO have mixed school
boards several years ago.
TARIFF.
One of Mahonc's main points to harp ON
was the tariff. and that issue had nothing
10 do with the present canvass. but the
Democratic party was always willing 10
meet him half way ON that when the Oc-
casion demanded il.
Another subject that he strives 10 bring
upis
THE DEBT QUESTION.
That's another thing that has nothing 10 /
do with the canvass. because il Is settled. |
Malone SAYS he can settle the debt. but he |
will not tell YOU how: but il j. very prOba- /
bic he wants TO sell out 10 the bond /
holders. That's about the only thing i
he could do. for the Virginia Legislature
has consulted personally with the b0ndhold-
crs and know what is their ultimatum. and
ifhc did sell out what would then become Of
your schools and public institutions:
FALSE CoLORs.
Malone tried TO palm himself Of n a

of the Atlantic. Mississippi and Ohio road
and the printers Of the Richmond wing.
proved how fallacious were any such claims.
\ COMPARISON ONLY ODIOUs On ONE SIDE.
The speaker closed by drawing Il COM

the dishonest and impure atiri juies Of his
