Ex-fresident Johnson on the stump.
MEMPHIS, October 17th.-Ex- -Presi-
dent Andrew Johnson made a speech
in this city tonight at the Opera
House to an audience of about one
thousand persons. He took ND the
subject of labor, asserting that it was
the foundation of everything. He
nexttouched upon the Limitation OF
organized law-making, and cited nu-
merous historical illust ra tions to show
that the Constitution of the United
States had been violated. He then
alluded to the public debt of Tennes-
see, in which he at first advocated a 30
per cent. reputation and wound up bv
advocating its entire reputation; he
touched lightly upon the reputation
of the National debt, charging that
unless this was done the people of the
country would all eventually become
slaves to a monied aristocracy. He
barely mentioned the third term ques-
ton, and after speaking for an hour
and Il half, finding that his audience
was becoming wearied and gradually
leaving, he branched off upon his
claims as candidate for the L. s.
Senate, and acknowledged that his
only aim was position and power to
confront his enemies. He finally
wound up with an attack upon Gov.
Brown for opposing him. He also re-
lated what benefits he had secured for
the South during his administration.
His speech was listened to attentiyely
except by the restless portion of the
audience, and he was frequently APP
plauded, especially in that portion Of
his speech favoring reputation.
