ardor of the Democrats in Clay Ward

tive feature. Proper and necessary re-
freshments may be ordered for the use

president thereof, whenever directed so
to do by the executive committee.

SPEECHES.
Several new members were elected |
and then, all the business being com
pleted. it wa. thought that speeches |
were in order.
Mr.. Walter T. Booth, who was pres
ent, was first called on. Mr.. Booth re-
viewed the course of Malone in the /
past. his unfriendliness toward work /
ingmen, and said he wished clubs |
could be organized in every precinct in
the city to help in defeating the Repub
lican ticket.
Mr.. Conway K. Sands. q candidate for
the House of Delegates, next spoke. by
invitation. The question was, he said,
whether Virginia should be ruled by
pure man or one who might DO said TO
be tainted with the fumes of the infer
nal regions. He drew line of parallel
between the past and the present, and
told how Thomas Jefferson had ar
raigned the King OF Great Britain for
numerous tyranic acts IN the same way
that the people now arraigned Malone.
Captain J. III. o 'Bannon. the superin-
tendent Of Public Printing. made a
brief address, in which declared that
the State Of Virginia was in rs much
danger tonight as she was when the
Federal Army crossed the Potomac.
But as bad as General Malone was, he
would be powerless were 1t not for the
power behind him that msnaced the
malignant power of the negroes.
Mr.. c. NJ. Wallace, a young Demo
crat, was the last speaker. He alluded
to Malone, who, after his bad record
came before the people with unblush-
ing effrontery. asking favors Of them, {
and he asserted that all movements /,
made by Malone were detrimental to /,
the public good. Democracy, he said, |,
meant 1.-THE strength Of the people. {
and he hoped that the significance {
would be realized in its fullest and most h
powerful sense at the forthcoming cleo b
ion. :
