Smith IA an hours speech. Mr.. Browne re-
plying IN torty-fyo minutes. and Judge

KvEEY WHITE MAN.
The Democrats loudly cheered their
speakers rs they poured hot shot into the
Republican party aud their representatives
for the many deeds enacted IN the present
Congress which were detrimental and de
grading 20 the South. and which should at
least make every southern and white man
vote the Democratic ticket. The day was
indeed "a field one for Democracy who are
thoroughly aroused and viii gave an III
creased majority for our nominees.
noDgKR BAILEY TAME.
The speech OF Mr. Browne was exceeding.
~ tame and he wanted 10 explain himself
on the force bill and the LangstOn case,
both Of which ho WAS tainted with by Mr..
Smith and Judge Flournov. To the sur,
PRISE of many Judge Waddiil when called

He was chocred by his political asso-
ciatos but great mass OF the people and
even some of his own friends Kissed him.
Instead of his speech arOuslng enthusiasm,
u 10 claimed that the position he took on
the force bill mas done the Republican
party harm and will not only cause the

LEXINGTON. Va. October Cadet Nc
Connico no doubt feels easier this evening.
The grand Jury. after examining the wit
nesses who testified at the coroner's IN
quest held upon the body of Cadet Tall
ferro. failed to find true bill against
McConnico. TINS was the most sensible
manner in which to dispose Of the matter;
for had McConnlco been brought to trial
he would undoubtedly have been acquit-
ted. Public sympathy here is largely on
the side of McConnico; but there. are
some persons who. viewing the case from
an extreme standpoint. say that McConnlco
and all who aided or abetted him are guilty
of a most bartarous and outrageous muir
der. The death of young Tallferro affords
a theme of unending discussion. McCon-
nico's father has been here for some days;
He will shortly return 10 Texas, and Will
take his son with him.
