Coming down TO State affairs, Colonel
Relrne showed that the Democratic party IN
VIRGINIA had o clean, strong record. 10
the neople WHO crOaked and asked what had
the Democrats done, he could reply they
psssed the mcdaniel hen law and they
created the Board OF Agriculture. They
had maintained the schools as they had never
before been maintained; they had main.
tanned the asyiums; they had come nearer
se.llipg the state debt than any other party,
and 1t would not be long before the Dond-
holders would sue for peace.
In contrasting the Democratic Adminstra'
tion Ia Nlrgiuia with the Republican regime
OF few wears ago Colonel Beirne paid his
respects In very telling way 10 the officials
connected with the broken contracts aud
with the broken bank OF Petersburg, and to
those guilty OF fraud and peculation aud
mismanageuent. The Republicans OF Vlr-
cinia with their small minority OF white
men aud their horde OF blacks striyed 10
control Virginia, but the Democratic party
with right on its side-the right OF race, the
right of property, and the right OF labor
must and will win. The Democl attic maiorl-
ty would not be less than $1,000 or 10000.
Colonel Reirne concluded his speech
about thirty minutes in length-by empha-
sizing the splendid record ei the Clay Ward
Actiyes. and thanking them for the honor
thew had conferred upon him in electing
MIN TO honorar, membership.
After Colonel Beirne's address the club
adjourned 10 the refreshmenl-tables, aud 4
halt hour was spent over beer aud solids.
II was generally agreed that Colonel
Beirne's speech was one OF the most enter
tanning and effective ever delivered In Rich
mond.

favorably reported. This was carried and
the nomination was accordingly reported
to the Senate when it met again, and then
on motion OF Senator Edmunds confirmed.
