the Union party, but % soon as that party
showed the cloven FOO, and departed from mp
right and wholesome laws and principles
which they herslded 10 the world, and becom-
Ing honestly convicted that the old Democrat
&c party vas the only party, then In exissence,
striving 10 maintain and uphold true republi-
can institutions, laws and principles and
10 save the country from ruin and anarchy, he
espoused the Democratic party, and was 10

Tor the purposes for which Il vas intended
lie oppo-ed call for convention for the
purpose Of adopting a new constitution, and
advocated but one session Of the Legislature
within the two years time allotted.
Mr.. Huffsker responded by telling the su-
dience that he was Republican, had never
been any thing but Republican, and was yet
q Republican, and that he was the Republi-
can candidate ior the Senate, and that he had
been selected TO make the race by the farmers
irrespective Of party lie attacked the record
Of HE opponent, calling him "pig here and
puppy there" that he had been Wing,
Union man, third party man, and nov said
that he was Democrat; but he was like the
unruly or, that any mans pasture was his
and that no fence could stop him, and being
political lawyer, he was like the deceitful
ram, In time Of fatne~ and plenty was every
sleeps friend and would 90 clean across the
field To shake his tail, but In the winter time
when feed was scarce he would drive away
the innocent lamb and take all himself He
dealt the political lawyer some heavy blows
and aid such men were always enforcing liens
on judgment for their fees, and In the Jegisla-
ture bankrup,ing the State by legislating for
themselves % enrich their own pocket and
that Of the judges Of whom they expected ia
voru, and that II Sallee was elected he would
carry out the ame measures-but there was
no danger Of This, because the people would
much prefer an honest Republican, who had
been one all the time, Than sman whose party
no one could tell. Mr.. H., closed by saying
that he was Republican, for the reduction Of
taxes, and was the poor mans friend.
Mr.. Huifaksr, although a nice gentleman
and good man socially and morally, must
certainly pride himself upon his secoud-rate
demagogery, which was devoid Of either style
CT beauty, and Of les effect and ON this oc-
casion, when trying to prejudice the minds Of
the people against his worthy opponent be-
cause he was political lawyer and a Demo
crat, he was like the greedy rat who lost his
cheese and fell victim to his own daring adj
venture.
Mr.. Sallee, in his conclusion, admitted that
he bad voted for the gallant Jacobs, finding
the name Of his opponent recorded for the
sane man, and that he voted for the 18Th
Amendment because he thought this the bes'
method 70 assist in burrying the tommahawk
but thus FAR and no further had he cooper
ted with the radical party.
He convinced the ,rsople tha. Mr.. Huitakel
had not been n true to the great Republican
party o. he woald have the Pulaskians 10 be-
lieve. That he did not vote for Harlan
against Leslie, and in "a, when Lincoln was
candidate, his vote was not recorded and in
1867, between Adams and Rice, no vote; 1870
did not vote fer Baker; in 1868 no vote, and
did not vote for Hobson for clerk court Of ap
peals, and in a rAce in Wayne county, regard
ing the school tar, his vote was not recorded
but that he did vote for Barnes, but that h
did not wish TO do Mr.. Huffaker an injustice
that he had examined the poll books with tn
. above result, and this was the record Of tru'
and devoted Republican.
In reply Mr. H. stated that Il his vote wa
recorded for Jacobs that Is was mistake, ant
that the reason his vote failed to appear a
the different times above referred to was from
the fact that he was in other precincts work
I ing for his party and could not get to hi
place of voting Which explanation, ! sup
pose, set his party at rest.
Judge Sallees speech was a telling and At
fecting one, and he made many warm friends
J while here, and will nodoubt make splendid
canvass.
THE REPUBLICAN CONVENTION,
Which met at the courthouse to-day, withou
! dissenting voice, nominated Allen Jones q
their candidate for the Legislature.
