le have called and you hay
come forward, and he has refuse
E, kto do it. He stands back. He has viz
n lated the rules Of debate. He has a.
re knowledged himself out OF this rae
He fails to come TO time. ICheers.
l. shall, therefore, continue this debat
without him. l shall in the future NAH
this canvass with Judge Lewis. Tn
/. presumption is that Kellar is now out
the fight. LLewis at this point stood U
y and said that Colonel Kellar most hkel
+ had gone to dinner, and would be bac
soon. Several voices throughout tn
room cried that Kellar ought to be con
e sidered out Of the race, and the cries
: "Out,n "Out," "Out," was heard for
4 few minutes.
Colonel Haynes then got the voice G
; the audience, and said that Lewis ant
t Kellar were running together agains
him, and they were taking each other
part evidently.
1.-TWO Jay-birds sitting on a hickory limb,
: One Winked at me. and 1 winked at him"
= loud laughter.l He was the candidate
7 Of the Democratic party in this district
and he would fight the fight out, M
matter what combinations were made
against him.
When the war was over he came e
West Tennessee and centered his hopes
and settled his fortune and his family
in the midst of the people, who thought
him worthy to be their choice for Con-
gress. He was received by them as q
brother and as a friend. During the
seven years that he lived among these
people, seven years of gloom that
succeeded the war, he had done moth
ing and said no word that would indi-
cate his desire to get Office. He had
pursued his ~avOcati0n with laboriOus
and painful anxiety; his sole view being
to rebuild up the shattered and ruined
fortunes of bis family. He was happy
and proud to acknowledge that he found
numerous friends who were ready and
did assist him in repairing the calami-
ties Of the past.
He had no aspirations when the Con-
gressionaI convention was called. He
was a thousand miles away from Mem
phis at the time; and every man who at
tended knows that he did not solicit any
votes in the convention when it did
meet. KeIlar, has said that the con-
vention was tricky and corrupt. l
would, said the speaker, have nothing
to do with it if it a Voices, leave
Kellar out entirely, and go On."l
While Colonel Haynes was attempt
ing to proceed the voices became num-
erous, saying, "Kellar is out of this con-
test; talk to Lewis, and don't talk of
Kellar, he is not in this canvass Loud
above all the rest one burly fellow
shouted out, "Haynes, III vote for you
or die"
Colonel Haynes resumed his speech
by saying, ayes, III leave him out for
the future, and shall combat Lewis, the
c-a-r-p-e-t-b-a-g-g-e-r." Every one
knows that Kellar cannot get a vote.
Lewis will get the colored Radical vote;
the sensible cOlOred men will vote for
me, and l don't see where or how Kellar
can get any votes at all. [Cheers.
Colonel Haynes then told how the del
egates from Fayette county had nom
mated him. They took, said he, a
sponge, a big wet sponge, and with it
wiped out every other name OftheS State,
and substituted his, and the counties of
Shelby, Hardemen and Upton followed,
and he was made the unanimous choice
of the convention. He read the names
OF the gentlemen who formed the con-
ventiOn, and triumphantly called on
Kellar to say if any of these were cor
rupt? 1t is his plan to say in general
terms that the convention was corrupt,
but will not specify where the corruption
and trickery lay; will not say who was
Of it; who did it, when nor where.
| pronounce it, said the speaker, a base
upon the gentlemen who
composed that convention. He Colonel
Haynes was a candidate upon his own
merits, for it was on his own merits he
was nominated by one hundred and
gentlemen of the four counties
that made up the Ninth Congressional
He was a candidate because
was the nominee of the Democratic
Convention. He was a candidate be-
he was the choice Of the people.
There were only a few sOre-heads in
county who were for the indie
)endents. He said he was the first and
lot the eleventh choice of the cOnven-
He was the first and only choice,
because he was the only man upon
whom the convention could agree. His
nomination was made unanimous, and
he therefore cOntended that he was the Z
and only choice of the convention.

here, and when he can support the @

Laughter. Kellar has been running b
1 new grooves until he has run himself 4
ut. He has run himself out of friends il
nd everything else. He can get no fl
Otes in this district unless Lewis leaves d
le anvass by preconcerted plan, and u
uts his name on the Radical ticket. q
Kellar has thought fit to dig up my d
cord during the COnfederacy. He has a

Congress. Now l ask any G.
