JUDGE BUTLER
appearing, was loudly chcered. This was the
fourth race he had entered on-one of which was
run under most adverse circumstances He was
grati1ed at the confidence reposed in him by his
constituents. Three times he had borne aloft the
banner of Republcanism to victory, and If we
were Republicans from principle, success would
| again crown our efforts, as in the past. His op-
ponent was chosen on account of his great per-
sonal popularity, but when the votes were court
| ed he would divide his advcrsary's vote in his own
county.
| The Democrats had no use for the negro;
though Just before the election they made
loud protestations. Now was the time to
rally around the standard of liberty, which
never would be furled in the First District.

| MR.. S~INGLETARY
Was called on, but said the shortness of time
prevented him from discussing national poll
tics. The struggle between RepubIicanism
and Democracy in East.Tennessee would be
fought in the First District. He expected
to fight the foe at any and all times until the
canvass ended, and trusted to give a good
account Of himself. His speech was well re-
ceived and at the close the house rang with
CHEERS FOR GRANT N WILSON.
He endorsed the Administration. and re-
newed his vows on the alter of his country,
and after again thanking the convention for
the honor conferred, he concluded without
having made a regular speech, His remarks
were received with loud applause.
