THE COMMERCIAL ESTABLISHMENTS
are principally devoted to the vending OF wet
and dry groceries, There are four or nve OF
them. a doctors Office and a boot-maker's
sign, together with the depot. Looking around
the village, from an elevation OF fifteen feet
above the surrounding landscape, IL was DIM
cult to discover any natural cause for the alb
sence Of neat aud comfortable dwellings.
The soil is rich; the grub rather poor.
The h-itohing-pOSts in the village were all
well patronised by goOd-lOOking horses and
gaunJ mules, and the groceries were nlled
with spurred and booted knights of the pillow,

had been circulating round the country, and

out in this country invariably point to the
certain success OF Haynes. HIS atlaDie man

presence, at once pronounced MN the man

tors. There is considerable interest manifest
ed by the people in this political canvass,
more than has been felt or expressed since
the war.
TIL SPEAKING.
The country folks appear to have been fully
notified of the fact that q political speech
making would be had, for they were on the
ground in satisfactory numbers al an carry
hour. It was agreed between the gentlemen
candidates that speaking would not com
until about half-past one O'Clock. Inc
only church in the village was spoken for but
could not be obtained. The plOuS people re-

JUDGE LEWIS
commenced his Grafton by saying that he was
glad to meet his fellow-citizens to discuss the
great questions Of the political hour: He I'M
derstoOd that there were three candidates in
the deld-tWo of them Democratic. u be-
lieye that is still the acceptable term; ! am
the Republican candidate" Judge Lewis then
spoke a few words OF compliment to the good
sense of the citizens, and of the responsibility
Of his Democratic competitors, and dropped
the Congressional subject and slid on TO the
idea. He confessed that the Re
publican party, TO which ne belonged, had
faults and committed errors-so did every
party. The difference between the parties IN
his respect was that the faults OF the Repub-
lican party were less than those of other par
ties. He spoke strongly Of the
MERITS AND CLAIMS OF GRANT.
II Grant was superior to Lee in war because
periOr support, he Is not 10 be hated for that. /
He entertained the profOundest sentiments OF
respect for the memory of Lee, and when that
hero died he wrote an editorial in a Memphis
paper which did as much justice to him as
Southern editor could have done. Hatred
is the stain Of ignOble minds. don't expect,
said the Judge, that you can feel grateful TO
Grant; tits too much for human nature. Yet
the Democratic platform which was adopted
at baltimore When greeley ana brown We're
nominated, says the Democracy are grateful
for the works Of the Federal soldiers. The
Judge then got oil one Of his finest efforts OF
the grateful plank-the ninth-in the plat
farm When NnuF leaders. said II l.. assumed /
to adopt that plank, they did what you did
not authorize them to do, and you will not in
iorse il. My competitor here has TO carry
load; has TO preach that doctrine.
He ACCEPTS IT,
and he advocates the claims of a man who
said in his paper that when the Confederate
returned to their homes, they should
not 90 to hresides OF peace, but to homes of
TO them and their children.
The Judge uttered a terrific philippe against
and at the same time BATTERED the
lerOism and self-forgetting courage Of the
who fought manfully on the side Of
he South. He wound up this part of his we'll
considered discourse by asking them, peril
lently: Are you going 10 vote Tor the plat
iOrm which says you are grateful to the sol
liers that whipped you in battle? to vote for
he man who said that the soldiers Of the
south should return to ruined homes and the
premature graves OF wives and
children, sent there by gaHnt famine or the
4 courage, and you certainly cannot do that.

lard things about the people of the South,
