remarks were listened to with marked
silence and respect. He was not al
witty, perhaps, as usual, as his current
jokes were not suitable for the audience
Yet he occasionally got of hit thai
excited hearty laugh. he was pa
thetic over the insults offered the South
ern men and their wives and children
To this point he REQUIRED with increased
force and earnestness every few minutes
Yet the crowd remained quiet and pas
siye, though very attentive.
In conclusion he happened to remem'
Der that he was a candidate for Con
gress, and said If elected he would rep
resent all the people, and, among Other
things, he was in favor of public grants
of land to bald Southern Pacific rail-
road.

He was greeted with hearty applause,
and the crowd evinced new interest, and
pressed forward to listen. He began,
after a few Introductory remaks, by say
ing that Greeley was the nominee OF
three millions of Democrats and many
millions of Republicans. When boy
he once witnessed dog fight, at which
a brawny porter suddenly appeared
from the hotel, and Selling one OF the
dogs wore out all the rest OF the dogs
with that one; and even if Greeley were
the liar and scoundrel depicted by Judge
Lewis, he would still answer very we'll
to wear out another man with who was
obnoxious to the people, (applause). and
while not admitting what the Judge said
of Mr.. Greeley, he himself was above
denounciug General Grant as liar or a
scoundrel; he would be ashamed to con-
descend to do such thing, and so ought
you to blush turning to Judge Lewis,
if the blood of shame could mount as
high as your face. He Colonel Haynes)
would not waste words in such a man
ner, as he was there to advocate great
and not to abuse men.
In regard to the ninth section OF the
Cincinnati platform, he said he too re-
membered with gratitude the heroism
and sacrifices of the true Federal SOL
diers, who fought as men, in striking
contrast to the bummers and campbell
lowers, who robbed women and children
in the rear; he was glad to know that
all we're not engaged in plundering the
people, and was ready to accord the
brave, honest Federal soldier all due
praise.
We are now for the great doctrine OF
reconciliation, while such as Lewis keep
alive the fires of hate. You demanded
the reconstruction of the States on a
basis to suit you. Bayonets were in
voked, judges and legislatures turned
out, while 10000 white freemen In Ten
nessee we're dlsfranchised and negroes
made voters. You came here to pretend
to love the Confederate soldiers and
wbeedle them, the men you disfranchlsd.
Your party loved power and plumber
and took the means to get it. You, by
an unconstitutional act, turned out the
and laid your hands on the
revenues. A voice" Yes, and We are
paying it Yeti lApplause.l You drew
.en or twelve thousand dollars salary
illegally, which can yet be recovered
rom you in the courts. Yet this is the
pleasant, interesting gentleman who gets
IN the blind side Of you and crawls into

ute-like voice to instruct you as Demo
rats how to vote. [GFeat applause

Every vote given for Colonel Kellar is

hat Colonel Kellsr may get increases
Judge Lewis chances. We have &C
.epted Greeley and discarded old worn
,ut issues, and ask everybody TO join
n the great liberal movement. Judge
Lewis has just returned from Washing
on, and perhaps made visit to Long
Branch. He wears bis masters collar,
and in fighting for his master is fighting
Tor bis bread and butter. He gets sal
AIRY Of, perhaps. two or three thousand
dollars in a Federal Office he holds at
Memphis. Lewis, Amen Oh, yes,
you can well say amen" you always
say amen when you get your fngetE
on dollar. Applause and laughter. ]
Mr.. Greeley is the candidate Of the
great Democratic aud Liberal party,
and no man can hesitate between him
aud Grant. The secret Of Judge Lewis
enmity TO Greeley lies in the fact that
Greeley, after his visit South. said that
carpet-baggers aud thieves should get 10
the rear. [sensationl ! do not apply
this to Judge Lewis by any means; yet
