nj II O'Clock a special train from
DanyilIe and MartinsvIIle came IN WIN
banners waving and shouts OF patriot
ism from at least seven nunoieo per
sons. who were met with an immense
crowd at the depot from Sonans. Ibis
large crowd. headed BY the Danville
bsnd. formed into procession, and with
flags waving and soul-stirring music
marched up to Sonaus, and after march,
ing down Main street, returned and
stonped i'm front of the speakers stand,
which was on Nh. Moo.e's law-office
norch at the head of Main street, sna
there. in the balmy air of Indian sum-
mer. stood this immense crowd of two
thousand people for over four hours.
listening with the most profound and
untiripg attention TO Patrick's great
favorIte, Colonel O'Ferrall. and other
speakers.
Colonel OFerrall spoke first. He
vas bendsomely introduced by Hon.
Posie g. Lester. VI has been my good
fortune and pleasure to hear to'enei
O FerraIl on several occasions, but can
truly say that never before did | hear
anything that would equal his speech
here to-day. He first touched on the
tariff. after which he went for Malone
with gloves off. and his arrangement OF
Boss Billy was terrific. and carried con-
victions to the minds of many stauDch
Republicars who Will never support
Malone. He then paid beautiful tri-
butte TO Mckinney. L. Ter and Scott. and
after several telling hits for Peters and
Debart he closed this ever to be remem-
tered speech with sublImely beautiful
and pathetic peroration on those NIr-
ginians of Virginidns, Jackson and Lee.
I'm attempt was made by the Repub-
leans TO draw OFF the crowd to hear a.
l.. Pedlgo the Republican candidate for
the Senate. who WAS now announced
10 speak in the court room, but 1t was
most glorious failure. as only some
hundred and fifty white men and
crowd of boys, and most Of the negroes,
with lot of negro women, followed
into the courtroom, where Ped
igo harangues the crowd for two
hours rs several of our hone
yoemanry remarked: To see the tv o
crowds and note the difference was
enough t6 show a man which was the
right party and the one for a white
mans government. Colonel o 'ferrall
was followed by Herbert @. Peters.
candidate for the Senate. who was
or, eted with round after round of APP
pIause aud a shower of hats in the air.
lie made a telling speech of an hour,
and from the shouts. Peters was evi-
IDENTIFY making fine headwav. and hav-
ing everything just to suit him.
lie was followed by Judge Hairston
of alartinsvIlle. who entertained the
crowd with his good anecdotes and
hard licks at Malone. Pedigo and
n kcs.
The crowd seemed To be so thorough
lyaroused and enthused with DemOcra-
cy that they seemed not 10 tire. but
ike Oliver Twist. they wanted more.
whereupon Mr.. Hardaway, of Henry
was called to the stand. and made a
good forcible speech, which was well
received.
He was followed by Mr. Samuel II.
HOge. our former member of the 1Ou-e,
but now a resident OF Rldford Va. He.
IN his usual eloquent and elegant style,
addressed his old friends and consttu-
ems for some time.
TnIs has Irdeei been day never to
be forgotten in Patrick. and the grand
est Democratic rally We have had in
many DAY.
