Brownlow's Knoxville Whig. [volume] (Knoxville, Tenn.) 1866-1869, 1868-10-28

keow that he is favorably impressed with Kast Ten
nessee, and will give good report of TO thostur
dy Of the Keystone State. He has by his plair
manner Of speech every word of which carries witi
i che impress of honesty, his sound advice, and hi
friendly Intercourse rendered his name immortal
among US, and will be ever remembered by our PEG
pie in their kindliest manner.
After the conclusion of Judge Kelleys speech
and another song from the Glee Club, Hon. D. w
C. Sentor was called upon, and proceeded in a
speech of one hour to show up the Inconsistencies,
the folles and the misdoings Of the Democratic
party. The manner in which his speech was re-
ceived showed that he had touched upon popular
chord. His appeal to members of the old Wing
party was perfectly irresistible, and we cannot see
how any man who has ever acted with that party
can, after hearing Senters speech, further act with
the Democracy.
Hon. Horace Maynard followed neu in one of
his happest efforts, his remarks being mainly ad-
dressed TO those men who loyal during the war
but are now acting with the rebels. At the close
of bis speech three cheers were proposed for Hor
ace Maynard, our next Congressman" which was
heartily responded to.
Hon. John Caldwell, an old citizen of jefferson
county, gave his reasons for supporting Gen. Grant,
which were received with applause. he is an old
man, respected and beloved, and his opinions have
much weight with those who know him.
After another song by the Glee Club the crowd
dispersed.
Notwithstanding a cold wind had been blowing
all evening, making it uncomfortable in the open
air large and attentive audience remained to the
last We will here take occasion TO say that no
portion of the exercises were more successful and
more generally appreciated than the performances
of the Glee Club ......
at night there was grand torch-lght process
sion which marched through the streets with music,
and carrying pine torches and transparencies with
suitable notices The crowd again assembled in
front Of the court house. where speeches were made
by Judge n. A Patterson, Judge Kelley, Mr.. ]. W.
Tomeny, of Memphis, Colonel D. NJ. Nelson David
Richards and also few remarks from Judge North.
We regret that space forbids fuller report of
the entire proceedings Suffice it to say the meet
ing was a success. 1t was all that could have been
expected or desired, under The circumstances East
Tennessee is good for thirty thousand majority for
Grant and Colfax.
The day was one Of marked quietness, there being
less drunkenness and less unnecessary noise than we
have ever seen in so large crowd. At night few
miserable tools Of the Democracy attempted to
create disturbance, by hanging around the outakirts
of the crowd and making cowsrdly demonstrations
in the dusk.
During the day the following telegram was read
from Gen. Burnside, which was received with deaf
ening applause, showing the fast hold he has upon
the affections of East Tennesseeans

Thursdays proceedings there is no doubt but that
East Tennessee will do her whole duty on the 3rd
Of November
