THE LION OF THE HOUR-His AP- ,1 PEARANCE WILDLY GREETED BY . THE OLD SOLDIERS-AN ELO- : i QUENT ADDRESS-His LOVE FOR I THE SOUTH. RICHMOND, VA., July 1.-Gen. ; Wade Hampton, South Carolina's old hero, is tho "biggest Confeder ate" here, if I may so express it. He was given an ovation today such as has rarely ever been seen. He was the lion of the hour at the opening session of the convention, and the tribute paid to him was well deserved. When the old hero appeared, entering the haty wheie ; the thousards were assembled, Governor O'Ferrall was in the^ midst of the magnificent speech- \ Thc old soldier was 8upporte<$by: several veteraus. His entrarle was the signal for a great outr?t of .applause, which, forced Gover nor O'Ferrall to suspend. The gov^ , ernor had just said in his speech, "Why this occasion ; why this mighty gatheiing?" Gen. Hamp ton's appearance seemed to answer the query. The crowd yelled for "Hamp ton" and the Fl.irida delegation started the wave ; the North Caro lina delegates took up the cry, and it swept through the hall. The South Carolina delegates could not stand the pressure and supple mented the cry with the rebel yell. The whole assembiege was soon on its feet. Virginia suggested "three cheers for Hampton" and they were given with a hearty good will. Old soldiers had'their hats in the air. Many had followed the uobie old man into daring charges. They ki.ew his worth and did not hesitate to testify to it. The ap plause became contagious and those in the galleries took it up. The fair women of the South-for they came from all the Southern States-waived their fans and handkerchiefs in the air. It was a proper ovation to the great cavalry leader. Gen. Hamp ton was unprepared for such an ovation; he rose and bowed. Then the governor was permitted to fin ish his speech as General Hamp ton took his seat on the stand. Then the call for Hampton was re peated, but General Buckner, the . Kentuckian, was introduced and his speech was followed by "The ' Old Kentucky Home." Anothor ! attempt was made to have General i Hampton speak but the mayor's i welcome was delivered and Gen. i Peyton Wise was permitted to speak. As he conclu led . the baud ' struck up "The Bonnie Blue Flag." ' That was applying the match to ' the Hampton magazine and aoth ^ ince jmiuJr* ?n. ihflu, r>r?rml?. L?t .si ( tue audience rise, turned to Gener al Hampton and said : "Speak to i them.'' and an old Carolina sol . dier forged his way to the front ) with a battle scared Hag. When the cheering died away General I Hampton rose and spoke as fol lows : 1 Mr. President: I could always ; talk loud enough to make you hear the word "charge." (Laughter.) I am glad to have the opportunity to meet the veterans again and to mingle with those wlnm I once 1 had the honor to command. It is > proved by the sacrifices ? have . made to meet you ; because (and . here his voice trembled with emo tion) in all human probability I shall never have this honor again. 1 But animated by the same spirit that has actuated you, I have come to pay my homage to that great man and true Confederate, Jeffer son Davis. (Applause) I have come and I have been told that they have assigned me to the command of the cavalry. Jr have come to ride again at the head of the bro ken ranks of these men whom I was always so proud tc see with their gleaming sabres flashing in the front. I have just told your governor how fortunate he was and, by the by, how fortunate I am also. Someone has said that he has never seen a dead cavalry man. (Applause mingled with laughter.) I said to Governor O'Ferrall. "You ought to very proud that you were in my com mand, for if you had not been in my command you would not have been here to make that speech (Renewed laughter) I was not so fortunate, however, as he. He was prepared to speak, and made a magnificent speech. I will confuse that I was proud of my cavalry. I did not expect to speak when I came here. "Goon; go on," exclaimed an old comrade and General Hamp ton continued as follows : "During my associations around hore in this little neck of woods, I was called to figV more than to speak.'' (Loud cheers.) Raising his voice higher in res ponse to the request, from the au dience, he added : "My fellow citizens, myoid com rades; I would be fighting again if the flag of the Confederacy was still waving.' (A voice, 'That's right.') JI want to impress upon you the last words I ever heard our il lustrious General Robert E. Lee say. It was after the war and I was in his house talking to him about it He said: 4I did enly what my dutyjjdemanded. I could never have taken any other course without dishonor.' And turning those noble, flashing eyes to me. he said: 'I tit was all todo over a^ain, I would act precisely as I have done.' (Loud app?ausp.) And I repeat to myself what my great chieftain said. I have no apologies to offer. (Continued applause mingled with exclama tions from the audience of That' right.') "Whon my State called upon me 1 and called upon all her children to volunteer, I entered the army as a private. By the by, I think ;he privater are entitled to more credit than anybody else in the irmy. (Laughter.) Wo could have aad good priva'ea Without good officers, but could not have had *ood officers without privater. ? always take off ray hat to the tat tered jacket of a private-the mau who did uot desert them, aud who has not deserted since. I am sor ry to say that a good many I know have deserted siuce. My friends I can not take my seat without thanking you for the cordial and grateful and unexpected ho?..or you have paid me and in the way which you Lave extended it te me." ''Believe me that if there is any thing left to me in life it is the proud thought that I was a Con federate soldier. I want no epitaph apon my monument other than that I was a Confederate soldier. lean not shake handu with all of you. If I had as many handa as Briarius I could not do that. My he*art goes out in thanks to yen, i?jj? if we eau not meet again .iere we.eau across the river under the shade of tre?s." (Loud applause.) When the old general ceased speaking the baud dived into "Dixier' and the applasewas deaf ening. Resolutions Adopted by the Edgefield Light Dragoons on the Death of W. D. Allen, July 4, '90.
