concluded with an impassioned out
burst of eloquence, urging all true
Democrats to support the new Con-
stitution at the polls on Saturday, and
predicting a glorious triumph for it over
the old instrument of tyranny and OPP
preston.
He sat down amid a storm OF applause,
and was succeeded by
B. II. BARNES, ESQ,
who came forward and pledged himself TO
support the party and do all in his power
to advance its interests. He denounced
the Radical party as the root Of all evil
and explained the attrocious acts of this
vile party in the South. At home, men
in our own midst rise up and Try to de-
stroy their own people for thu sake Of
| office. Commented on the action of the
friends of Major Strange in trying to force
him on the people against the regular
nominee of the party. The Radicals de-
nounced Major Strange as the author of
the Fort Pillow massacre, now they place
him at the head of their ticket. The head
l-of the call on Major Strange wai VIM. r.
Moore, the deepest dyed Radical in the
city of Memphis. Next comes Ilr. Laski.
! Thirty loyal leaguers are also on
the list. I respect Curry aud Taft,
they are o~utspoken Radicals; out
what shall we say of Mr.. ROlfe Saund-
ers, who claims to be in the Irarty and
comes out in opposition against The party
ticket. MI. Barnes advised all TO stick TO
the ticket, and closed an earnest an elo-
quent address.
COLONEL HEIsKELL
was the next speaker, and on corning for
ward was received with great applause.
He thanked his fellow-citizens for the
honor conferred upon him SOME time
since. If the amended Constitution is
adopted, the final rout OF the Radical
party Will a place. The suffrage sec
ton was not satisfactory to him. de
would nave changed it, but as it is, it was
The voice of the Convention. If The Con-
~stitution is not carried, the people will be
put back under Radical rule. Colonel
Heiskeu advised the people to ratify the
Constitution, for it gives the people
power. When this is obtained
they can change whateve. OBJ
i~ectionable features it may contain.
Read Brownlow's letter against the rati-
location of the Constitution. The best
argument for it was Brownlow's disap-
prOvsl. Col. HeiskelI closed his logical
speech by advising all to vote for the new
Constitution on Saturday next
col. A. H. DOUGLASS
was announced as the next speaker, and
was loudly cheered on his appearance.
Col, Douglass defended the Democratic
method of nominating candidates by
means of a convention as the only true
and safe method of presenting standard
bearers and candidates for Office. The
serpent tempted Eve in the Garden of
Eden; so the Radicals whisper thei- false
hoods in the ears of all who would listen
to their devilish cOnnsels. The nominees
may not be the best men in the
country Blu in a convention, all interests
have to be consulted. Major Stran ge is a
good man, but when he, places himself in

beaten and taught a lesson. Colonel
Douglass closed his brief address by
thanking the meeting for its patient at
tention.
&Captsin A. T.ssLacy was introduced as
the next speaker, and was loudly APP
plauded during the course Of his remarks.
He advocated a full support of the ticket.
Every Democrat desiring to destroy Rad
icalism should vote for the ticket from
the head to the front. Mr.. Reilly is the
nominee of the Irish element, which has
always been true to Democratic principles,
and comprise One-third of the party
in Memphis. They have one nan
on the ticket-ws nave sGven.
We must support the whole ticket, and
nothing but the ticket. Captain Lacy ex-
cused himself from speaking longer, and
retired mid hearty cheers.
Mr.. BrizzOlara offered the fOlloWinatres-
o%lution, which was carried unanimou sly
by the enthusiastic assemblage:
RESOLVED, That this meeting heartily in
dorses the action of the late County Con-
ventiOn, and pledges itself to vote the
straight ticket, hOldislB that boilers and
disOrganizers are a disgrace to their
try and the enemies of the people.
Colonel Perkins, the Chairman of the
meeting, announced that the regular or
der of the meeting was closed.
Captain Moffet, upon being loudly called
for, came forward and denied that the
nominees were not the best men That
could be selected. Not one of the indie
pendent candidates could 90 before That
convention and secure the nomination.
The opposition was exclusively against
two Irishmen on the ticket. There are
only two Independent candidates. Ii
these representative men of the Irish peo-
pie are beaten on Saturday next, the en-
tire ticket will be beaten, for the Irish
hold the balance of power. All they
asked was fair play, and this they must
have. They asked for nothing more, and
would be satisfied with nothing less. Th
sentiments expressed by Captain Mofet
were loudlysapplauded.
At the conclusion of Captain MOffst's
pertinent and outspoken remarks, the
.assemblage dispersed, fully determined
to support the Democratic Jicketon Sat
urday next, against boilers and aisOrgsn-
izers.
