GRAND RALLY AT THE COURT HOUs
Gibson Opens his Batteries.
wbere the Railroad Bonds Went 10.

Democracy an Expensive Luxury.
At the ringing of the Court House bell, very
respectable audience of some three or four hun
dred gathered in the criminal court room. The
Hon Henry 4 Gibson took the stand and opened
by stating that while in the State Senate he
had learned facts which he felt it a duty he
owed to the people of Tennessee to disclose,
as that they might see the manner in which the
State Government has been, and is being run.
While every one should take an interest in the
Presidential campaign, the home issue should
not be forgotten. He called the attention
of the tax payers to some few facts he
wished to state not all, for it would take
a thousand Henry + Gibsors to tell
all the rascality of the rebel Democratic Leg
islature" Commencing at the close of the war :
when the Republican party OF tennessee went
into power, he gave the figures for the expenses
of the time they we're in power and then those
of the present Democratic rule. The following
being the figures which speak for themselves.
In the year 1867 the Republican expenses
were S717, ,OO0 in 1868, SS91,O in 1862,
$681, COO Democratic expenses for lS7O-7l,
1892 0O0 deducting all extraordinary expenses.
The Republican party paid in 1861 $77a,OOO !;
in 1868, $2025 600 and in 1859 i49lO0O, as
interest on the State debt. -
In addition to the actual expenses of the State,
machinery, and in addition 10 extraordinary eX-
penses for schools, State guards, metropolitan
police, legislation, Claims Commissioners and
the Frazier Impeachment, the Democratic party
had paid no interest," had kept up no schools,
but had borrowed money and were still bor-
rowing.
The Battering Ram and the rediStricting of the
State was next taken up, its only purpose be-
ing to get Maynard out of Congress.
Squandering the peoples money so the DEM
ocrats say But he at once proceeded to give
figures which drove any such ideas from the
minds of his audience, convincing them that
their money had gone into the pockets of the
Democrats themselves.
Ignorance, the right of the many knowl-
edge, the privilege of the few" the motto of
the party now in power. '' 49,
IMMIGRATION.
He asked if there would be any immigration
so long as we had no free schools when the
State threatened to repudiate and Judge Lynch
was chief justice.
The lease of the penitentary was shame.
The State letting it go for $50, 600 per year
when bids were made offering $4,000, and
when $4,000 could have been obtained if full
notice had been given.
In conclusion he said that Tennessee must
take heart and make a strong fight. Encour-
State, the Green Mountain State, and last but
not least, from Maine, who was still rolling up
her majority for Grant After some illusions
to the battle SCARED hero" the speaker took
his seat amid great applause. Although the
audience was not as large as it would have been
had the speaker been sooner announced, it was
one of the most attentive and orderly we ever
saw gathered together to listen to q public
speech.

DEAR SIR: 1 am in receipt of your letter
of the 4th inst, extending to me, by your
committee presiding, an invitation to at
tend grand Mass Convention of veteran
soldiers to be held in the city of Pittsburg,
on the 18th inst. My desire to attend, and
meet again so many old companions in
arms is very great, but my Judgment tells
me to leave the celebration entirely to
those whose motives can not be misunder-
stood. / know of no class of citizens bet
ter entitled to meet in convention and to
have weight accorded to their views than
veteran soldiers who risked their lives for
the honor and perpetuity of their country.
am sure your councils will be marked by
wisdom and patriotism, and that the meet
ing of so many comrades will be joyous
and advantageous one.
wish for you all that you expect from
your meeting of the 18th inst, and only
regret that can not be with you on that
occasion. (Signed,)
With great respect,
Your obedient servant,
- u. S. GRANT.

FOSTERS FATE.

His Case To Be Finally Decided Upon by
tho Court OF Appeals I'm October-The
Novel Question in Law Upon Which
His Life Depends.
The case of the carhook murderer, which seems
to have been forgotten during the more recent and
still more sensational Stokes trial, has obtained a
and decisive stage will be reached in October be-
fore the Court Of Appeals sitting in Albany 1t will
be remembered that Fosters last appearance in
public was before the General Term OF the
Supreme Court, when there, were three Judges
sitting, who refused his plea for new
trial. It was then taken to the highest Court.
District Attorney Sullivan stated to reporter yes
terday that the Court will not for moment con-
slider the merits Of the case. Fosters hope, there
FORE that the Court may reverse the verdict OF the
Jury In so far that 1t decided 1t case OF murder In
the first degree, though the counsel on the other
side strongly cOntended that there was clearly no
premeditation, win be deceived. Tho only question
the exception OF Fosters counsel to that point In
the charge Of exJudge CardozO to the jury In which
he refused to say that striking with dangerous
weapon "a carhook with intent to injure, but with
out intent to KILL was murder In the second degree.
This is new point which has never been raised In
trial for murder, and on the decision OF the Court
was strict law or not hang all Fosters chances for
life. Judge Ingraham, in his opinion on this point
at the General Term, said that such decision
would prevent man ever being BEL hanged IN TINS
he fired pistol with fatal effect he did not mean
to KILL but simply to cause wound should this
point be sustained in October by the Court OF APP
peals Foster will probably be hanged some time In
November, and nothing could save him but the Gov
ernOr's interference. Otherwise he would be
granted a new trial, and very possibly adJudged
guilty OF lesser crime than murder In the first de-
gree, as the general sentiment Is that premedita-
tiOn did not enter IN his case.
