UNION CITY.
General W. X. Bate SereHaded- His
Speech in Responsibilities to
the Democracy.

Special to the APFEAL.l
UNION CITY, TENN, October As you
were advised by special yesterday, the
ex-Confederate soldiers and citizens OF
this plsce, at an early hour after dark to-
tonight, assembled at the Southern Ho
tel and there ssrensded him. The
crowd was so large as to en-
brace all the men and many OF
the women and children of Union
City, and the utmost enthusiasm pre-
vailed. After the band had played sew
ersl tunes, among them "Dixie," the
General made his appearance in response
to loud and frequent calls, and made what
is considered one of the happiest speeches
of his life. 1t was q spontaneous burst OF
eloquenoe, delivered in true Tennessee
style, and was received with the widest
enthusiasm. He advised his hearers as TO
their material progress and welfare, touch
but lightly upon the politics of the day.
He said that Southern Democrats
should not become demoralizsd by any
new organizations but rely implicitly
upon those northern Democrats who have
been our friends to make the platform and
nominate the candidates. We must re-
serve our strength As q rear line and be
prepared to move on the Radical phslapx
and win victory. We must be patient
and follow the lead of the men who are
worthy of our confidence. If we do so
victory is ours. Cheer after cheer went
up for the gallant general at the close of
his speech which was listened to with
marked attention.

The Banner says of our handsome and
distinguished governor elect: "6is per
sonal and political history are SO well and
favorably known beyond, as well as with
in the limits of the State which has re-
posed in him the grave trusts OF the most
responsible Office in Its gift, that any
eulogy st the hands of his friends, RDtici-
patory of the occasion, would be superfiu-
GUS. His administration is looked for
ward to with confident hope snd an
abiding faith in his capacity, integrity
and irmness. OF one line of policy to be
pursued by our new executive, we think
the public may reasonably be assured,
and this Is an emphatic and decisive atti-
tude toward the lawless reprobstes who
are bringing reprOsch upon the State by
their Infamous atrocities in various por-
tions oft commonwealth. The COVER
nor-eleet is not the man to deal with such
desperate diseases with g glOved hard,
and backed, as he certainly will be, by
the moral support and sympathy of al
most the entire community, he is in po-
sition to make his ex tcutive authority all
the more effective"
NEW LEGISLATIVE PRESIDING OFFICERS.
The Union and American thus sketches
the speakers of the senate and house of
representatives:
General John G. Vaughn, speaker Of
the senate, Is native of Monroe county,
the county in which he now resides. he

Mexican war, and was, 1t the conclusion
OF that war, captain of a company. He
was also an ofiosr In the late war, and,
before its conclusion, was brigsdier- gen.
eral In the Confederate service. For sew
eral wears previous TO the late war he was
sheriff Of Monroe county. He Is strictly
temperance man, and devout member
OF the church. He is q man OF very de-
cided opinions, firm IN his convic ions,
and warm ia his friendships. Z little ex-
perience will make him an excellent pre-
siding officer.
Mr.. James d. Richardson, speaker of
the house, is native and representative
of the county of Rutherford. he Is 3 son
of DR.. John ". Richardson, of Ruther-
ford, who, for many years previous TO the

old Whig leaders of Middle Tennessee.
Mr.. speaker Richardson is twenty-eight
years of sSs. He studied law under Judge
Thomas N. Frazier, the judge of the Grim
inal oourt OF Dayidson and Rutherford.
Since his admission to the nsrS he bs7
closely devoted himself to the stuGJ and
practice of his profession, and justly won
for himself 8 high rsnk among his pro-
fsssional brethren. Studioas in bis hab-
its, quick In mis- perceptions, courteous
