The Tallahassee Southern Journal contains
the following tribute no less true than compliment

at is said, we know not with what truth, We
suspect however, with very lille, that the Next

Corwin, Wing Senator in Congress from Ohio
II this be so, surely our Wing friends will forgive
Mr.. Secretary Walker Tor having wtit!cn SO ably
in favor Of Free Trade that his Report was or
dercd 10 be published in England by vote OF The
friends Of commercial freedom in the House OF
Peers. The fact is the Wings ough. 10 be and
doubtless are ashamed of their course in so relent-
lessly abusing the Secretary, whose only offence
was that his intellect had called forth such hon.
age from The proudesl legislative body on earth.
They should rather have been proud OF an Anne
rican who had thus contributed 10 The ,amt Of his
country-of man oi science, who taking up The
theme which such minds as those OF Adam
Smith, Ricardo, Mill Brousham and Peel were
supposed TO have exhausted, could yet say some
thing on il worthy of following all iha! had been
before spoken or written.
We learn from The Lynchbnrg Republican that
Mr.. Tredway has given formal notice 10 MIR.
Flournoy, that he means 10 contest his seat in
Congress. That paper is convinced Of Mr.. rs
legal title to The seat; which can be made TO
appear 10 The House CT representatives, Chat-
ever may be its political complexion.

HicSsrcRD, July 8, 1917.
Messrs. Edors-Ihe candidates for Congress
met al this place to-day and addressed The peo-
pie. Col Boiling led off in speech o;an hour
and hall. Il was an impassioncd and violent
effort 10 show off The Inconsistencies OF his op.
ponen,, and convince The Democracy that they
ought 10 withhold their support from Mr. Meade;
From this he passed on 10 The Mexican war, and
sang the old song about Folks bringing on The
war, and asking an appropriation Q! three mil
lions TO hribe Santa Anna and The Mexican
people. This filled up the measure u his
speech. MIR. Meade followed in speech Of The
same length and assure you Thai The reply was
all that his most ardent friends could desire. He
commenced by abiding 10 his nomination, and
said that an inlelligen, convention had presented
him 10 The district as Republican worthy Of the
suppor, OF the party, therefore he should not al
Temp, defence Of himself; for he was sure that
the endorsalion oil The convention was oil H.
self sufficient guarantee Of his Democracy.
Col B. TO the contrary Notwithstanding. But IN
compliment 10 hisopponen he would notice some
of he charges of inconsistency, which he did in
a very satisfactory manner. He said he knew
something Of the manner in which Col. 3. was
brouoh, out tina, a few leaders OF The Wing par
" having been given 10 understand that Col. b.
was soil enough 10 butl lis head against
post held meeting and Ielnesea MN 10
declare himself a candidate. MIR. MEADE men
proceeded in d mastery style 10 review Tue

war his arguments were truly convincing, and
we'll calculated to raise The President IN The good
opinion OF The patriotic yeomanfy oil The coun-
,ry. I'm connexion with The war and The acqui-
silion oil territory by treaty of peace, ne INTRO
duced The celebrated Wilmot Proyiso, and so
handled The subject as TO make deep and last
ing impression. He also anaigned the Wings
for giving laid and comfort" TO The enemy, ana
inflicted a severe and meTiied chastisemen! upon
Them His speech was pronounced mastery
effort, and told upon all present. Col. Boiling
undertook reply, but il was an up'hii business
he had TO travel over the same ground, ana 10
doing so made some important concessions re
was tame and fiat; so much so that an in!eii'
| oen, Wing said that The effort was unworthy OF
its author, Col. B. is certainly man OF COCO
talents and il is Notifying 10 see him employ
inc himself in so useless a contest. MIR. Meade
again took The stand. Such burst oil elo

of The successor OF the lamented Dromgooe.-
Taking hold OF The concessions wIuns from Col
B., he placed him on The witness Stand and no
