had been frequently manifested during
the day, seemed now 10 be intenslnsd'
and many Of the spectators joined III inc
loud calls for the Ex-Governor As ne
walked out from behind the scenery loud
cheers went uD from hundreds OF throats'
and he gracefully bowed his acknowledg-

appearance I'm the political arena in TINS
city since the Old-Market Han meeting
i'm the fall OF 1889. when he ana senator
Riddleberger came here 10 speak under
the auspices Of the anti-Mahone Repuol-

silvery tinge. The Ex-Governor SPOKE
about an hour and half. and was given
respectful attention. though NUMBER
Of people left the house after he had been
speaking a few minutes.

length to Senator Daniel. Said he:

power far beyond the legitimate authority
given them. There is a public man IN
this State as dear to my heart as any
who breathes. Not for worlds would 1
say a word that could be properly con-
strued as unkind 10 him, or that would
wound his chivalric feelings. He was the
leader OF the movement that obtained az
the state convention at Staunton; he
was the head Of the Virginia delegation
10 the convention at Chicago, and l can
say here with truth that / believe no
