 "TAE MAN FOR ME."-Hon. Green Clay Smith, of Kentucky, in his speech at Washin- gton, remarked:
 ''From the mountains of Tennessee-a State that undertook to secede and went into the evoluton-there was man who had emigra- ted from North Carolina to earn his bread and meat in this new country. He was born in the humblest sphere of life without rich parentage, without advantages or the means of gaining an ordinary education. In conse- auence of his poverty he arrived at the age oi twenty Lone years without knowing the alpha bet of his own language but by his industry, energy, and force of natural intellect, he rose to greatness and renown--as q member of the Legislature of Tennessee, then as Governor ot Tennessee, then as Senator of the United States, then as Vice President of the United States. and by an unfortunate accident, he became President fully indorse him as the Ch ef Mag istrate ofthe nation Andrew John son, the tailor boy of East Tennessee, is the man for me-
 The staior boy of Tennessee" is now the man of the people. He is the David destined by a wise Providence to slay the Goliath oi radicslism, and save the country from reign of misrule - Memphis Appeal.
