> SHUTTfG UP MEMS MOUTHS.
The author of that article in the paper

speech, and wanted to know if the people
OF this county remembered how disloyal the
democrats were two or three years ago!-
And at the conclusion of the piece read =

BILE citizen among you, have not the right
to come down to Lawrence county and talk
to you people upon these great questions?-
1t it has, / want to know it. | do know now
that it is in keeping with the policy of the
republican party to shut mp mems mouths
when it can't answer an argument. That is
its policy. 1t shut them up by bayonets in
Tennessee, and it shut out the representatives
from Kentucky recently because it couldn't
meet their arguments or stand before reason.
And perhaps it proposes to shut my mouth
by giving an implied threat in this "Be-
ware" But, thank God am here, and
expect to be in other places, and am pre-
pared to meet the exponent of that party,
here or elsewhere; and if don't lead them
captive before the people of this country,
blasting their hopes for congress, then am
mistaken IN the power, honesty and intelli.

WHAT THE BoNDHoLDERs ARE DOING.

WHAT Idk BONDdOlDEkS AXE DOlNG.
But I see the bondholders are alarmed,
and / viii tell you how know it: They are
already establishing their presses in this
country; they are already sounding the
alarm-cry. How are they proceeding to do
it? They have not the manly courage to
come out in their papers and advocate a con-
tinuation of this system of tax-paying. They
have not the manly courage to do that.
They won't meet me upon the stump and
discuss the propriety of redeeming these
"bonds" in '3greenbacks." How are they
working? They are pretending they are the
greatest friends of reform in the world
They are for economy, and they are going
about endeavoring to institute feeling of
jealousy between different sections of the
democratic party,-talking about honesty.
BY the way, when hear one of these repub.
lican politicians talking about his political
honesty, 1t reminds me of fellow named
Phelps, IN my part of the country, who has
had the reputation, ever since / have heard
OF him, OF being horse-thief and passer o
