z Upon the honors done to the memory
a Of General Lee in Court Square, Mem
Is phis, in October, 1870, Colonel Haynes
d said: II would not on this occasion,
for the price of my self-respect, utter
o one word Of partisan import offensive
e to the feelings or p%reiudices Of any. I
would to God that On this solemn occa-
e ssiOn of public bereavement could pour
D from the urn Of charity the oil Of
5 concord on the national wounds, and
= could see once more the animOsities of a
b great people quieted into the
e affection of a common brotherhood,
: before whose united armies and people,
= animated with the love Of freedom, the
1 knees Of tyrants might well smite to-
gether, and the crowns Of Kings trem-
e Die on their heads"
Again, it is stated in that article that
,, political historians remind US that
Haynes was once turned out Of the
Christian church for his indiscreet amil-
iarity with some Of U-fame.
Thus. the impression is attempted TO be
made by this article, printed in my COM
petitor's paper, that 1 was turned out Of
the Christian Church for criminal con-
nectiOn with some women Of Hl-fame.
THE PENALTY Is DEATH.
Now, I put the question directly to
Mr.. Kellar to know whether he adopts
or in any manner indOrses this false and
cOwardly i~nsinuatiOn OF imputatiOn
against my private character, and the
sanctities Of my domestic life and family
relations. I pause said Mr.. HaynesJ
for an immediate answer to this ques-
ton.
Mr.. KeIlar arose and said: "I do not
indOrse or adopt it. 1 did not write the
article, and do not adopt it, and had
nothing to do with it and utterly repu-
date any imputatiOn against Mr..
Haynes's private character. Mr.. Haynes
stands too high in this community to be
assailed lightly. do not, nor is it the
rule, indOrse anything that is in the
AUGldnche which is not editorial. We
are not responsible for the netCs which
appears in the papers. [ have nothing
TO do with your quarrel with the Repu6-
lean Banner"
Some words passed between Colonel
Haynes and Colonel Kellar, which were
wound up by Kellar saying he would
make his reply when he got up 10
speak.
Colonel Haynes said: al am glad you
disavOw the slanderOus article, and do
not indOrse it. 1 pronounced SANDER
Gus and cOwardiy lie, and no man shall
make such an imputatiOn before me
without paying the penalty with his
blood. Tremendous cheers No one
a invade the sanctity of my private
home without punishment. / am not
10 be assailed, because l am a candidate
for Congress. LCheers. L feel that I
am talking to my friends lyou areb and
that you viii stand by me and not suffer
my reputation to be assailed, because
you, the people Of Fayette and the peo-
pie Of the other counties, have chosen
me to be their standard-bearer in this
Congressional race. LCheers.l Iaccept
with qualification the declaimer of Col
onel Kellar. and his explanation that he
did not use the article from the Banner,
and that he did not intend it as AN
attack on my private character"
AT this juncture the lovely face of
Judge Lewis was elevated above the ex-
cited multitude, and he helped to pour
more oil on the troubled waters. He
read a list Of appointments for the
future. Some one suggested that he
could read that when the meeting
should be over. "Yes,n said he, "that
is true enough, but the Democrats will
all leave when 1 begin to speak.
Laughter.
The coast was now clear, and Colonel ,
mounted the rOstrum. Com
mencing with "FellOw-citizens of Fay
cite county" he was rudely interrupted
before he could 90 further by bowls, cat
calls, whistles, Kisses and groans, and /
he commenced to speak the
audience eyinced a decided disposition
not to let him go N. He tanned them :
down, however, with that even, open
eye, and, by raising his voice to a high .
pitch, and saying he thought ne was ad- .
dressing gentlemen Of Fayette. He
then spoke at some length about the
controversy between himself and s
Haynes. He said he was not responsible
for it. Colonel Haynes himself had
commenced it in his Moscow speech. %

of the various phases of the
campaign. He wa not concerned in Z
producing those qUarrels. They Origi- J,

made a speech, afterward published in

ipeech he linked my name with the
Banner. He (Kellar) did not like the =
Banner to be friendly to him.
He paid il no money. He then
to the leading article in the -
APPEAL of that morning, and said the n
APPEAL took an improper view Of the
.ase. Colonel Kellar said that he was =

UGH attacks. But Colonel Haynes had ~
ttacked the Banner every bit as II
