mel Beirne. Of the Richmond State, and
Senator Daniel addressed large crowd
Of sOvereigns here to-day, many col
ored people and white -Mahoneites
giving them strict attention. Colonel
Belrne dwelt largely upon the inhu-
encc of Cleveland s administration
upon the material interests of the coun-
try and the contempt of Harrison : for
It's great Southern section. the effect
which was the pOstp0nement Of the era
Of perfect reconciliation.
In the Virginia fight, tariff. prohibi-
tion and finance played but a small
part. The contest was between the
virtue, intelligence and patriotism Of
the State and Malone. a tyrant, railroad
wrecker and viOlator of all pledges.
He sketched with a masters hand how
he had ruined his career as soldier By
his career as "a railroad manager. pOlili-
clan and citizen. and by comparison
with the spOtless record Of his oppO-
nent, Mckinney. he made many votes
votes for the Democrats.
SENATOR DANIEL
was in splendid trim. and carried the
crowd with the force of a whirlwind.
He fejOiced TO see that so many Repub-
licans were showing that they loved
their State better than Doodle. and
were uniting with loyal, State-loving
Democrats 10 save the old mother from
the clutches of degenerated son. He
was honest in his hatred Of Malone.
and should never respect himself if he
heard Malone had expressed a good
opinion Of him. He showed that
the State had turned a system
Of railroads over To Malone. upon
hich she held mortgage of three
millions dollars, and had strengthened
his hands by charters. and other legis-
latiOn. which enabled him to borrow
Si5.000.000 on the consolidated lines.
Using his position TO secure legis-
latiOn favorable to his plans, Ma
hone had a bill passed to give
another mortgage priority, thereby
swindling the State Of the interest.
He wrecked the road. paid fOr labor
and supplies in scrip. and then through
John 5. Wise. bought this scrip up at
fifty cents on the dollar. and secured
an order from the United States Court
that these claims be paid at face value.
Malone had violated his pledge to the
Confederate soldier. to the Legislature.
to the bondholders, 10 the Democrats
to the Read jusicrs. and the day would
come when he would turn his back
upon the Republican party.
He denounced. Malone circular pur-
porting to prove that the Democrats
had exceeded the Republicans by $780,
600 annually in the expenses Of the
State Government, and demonstrated
that he had compared four years Of
Republican rule to five by the Demo-
Gratis, and failed to give any credit
for the II. 200 000 placed by the
latter TO the credit OF the
sinking fund. During the five years Of
Republican rule not a dollar went to
this fund. whereas the Democrats, du-
ring the first year Of their restoration
to power. turned in 500. GOO and had
increased the schools in efficiency and
number, paid large amount IA pen
.iOns to disabled soldiers. and met every
legitimate demand upon the Treasury.
The speaker S exposure of the record
of Malone was scathing. and evoked
almost continuous cheering. The trai-
tor was. he thought, Jealous of the
devil. and wanted to turn the State
into an organized hell. Time and
ratience would enable him to
share honors with his model
without dragging the old mother
down. In all he said of Malone,
and his record of treachery and ruin.
he was sustained by Fulkefs0n. Massey,
Yost. Lewis. Riddlebcrger, Cameron,
Hansbrough, Gum, Round. Frazier,
and other Republicans who know the
man. and while renOunciDg none Of
their Republicanism. they would not
support him. Ii the best men Of his
own party turned from him with
fear and disgust the Democrats could
not be censured for their uncompro-
missing effort 10 save the State from his
hands.
c. II. Causey addressed small crowd
Of Republicans, mostly colored. There
was no enthusiasm whatever.
