The Fuii Details.


General Adiai Stevenson, "our next
Vice -President," will arrive In Richmond
this morning NJ TAO o'clock and tonight he
will address an immense meeting at the
Academy Of Music.
An invitation was extended the dis
tinguished Democrat to speak In Peters
burg while on his way to this city. but as
he has beer much fatigued by his trip
South. he was forced to decline. He will
come straight through from Wilmington TO
Richmond. and upon his ARRIVAL here he
will be met at the Union depot by a COM
mittee fromthe Cleveland-Stevenson Cam
paign CLUB. The only persons in his party
are his wife and General Ewing. his law
partner. A reporter has also been travel
ling with the General, and will doubtless
accompany the visitors 70 this city.
IL had been confidently expected that
Adlai would give the Democrats OF the
Oockade City n chance TO enjoy his elo-
quence when he passed through en- route
from North Carolina. but Colonel Cary
yesterday morning received q telegram
stating that he could not do this. Elabo-
rate preparations had been made to send a

escort him to Richmond, but under the
