Williams followed him and warned L
those present Of Barbour Lewis, who, Z

paws Of them and run himself into Il
lavOrite positions.
NelSOn-LOOk here Williams. -
WilliamS-As for q soldier. where
can we get g holder. one than VIM. b,
Stokes. This is not the day for men
to manipulate Conventions, If il 7
comes to that, that we have to go forth
to the people with two candidates,
and if, as it has been asserted, that,
under the laws, Senter has the game /
in his own hands i'm order to elect
if We don't yield, we nlight as "
well settle the cgestiQn at one time as e
another. \ cOliOquy here ensued be- @
tween the speaker and Brother Peirne, ! a
relative TO an article in the Knoxville ii

Col. BrownloW- The menwho came d
came here for Senter, did the fighting a
during the war; and the old men who Al
come here f0F, Stokes are sugar con- o.
tractors for the Confederate army h.
Loud applause. It has been stated eI
in the Press and Times that l am r.
guilty of ingratitude in my opposition n
to Gen. Stokes. L don't see it in ! lf
that light. Stokes did speak for. r.
BroyniSN at the last election, but he b
was at the same time speaking for @;
stokes. BY the aid of 1900 votes that Ii
Brownl9W stFpck out, Stokes was k
elected. <
