ter and Maynard spoke to a large
crowd in James Hall to day, begil-
ming at l P. N. Maynard led off
ana his speech was not different
from those already printed. He
discussed the funding. and assess.
ment laws, the penitentiary lease,
Civil Rights and the Porter reso.
lutions. ..,
Porter's reply was well received,
and he was frequently interrupts
ed by applause. He showed that
the funding and assessment bills
and penitentiary lease were not
party measures, and that as msny
Republicans as Democrats, in pro-
portion, voted for these measures
in the Legislature He gave a
scathing review of May nard,s re-
cord On all important questions
since 1929, and showed that be
had no policy if elected but tc
construct a government not Of
the people but supported by Fede'
raj bayonets. Porter made friends
and will run ahead of his ticket
in this county. Maynard Jailed

Ias The Democratic State
Executive Committee of Ala
ALBANIA has issued an address de-
nying the truth of the. char
ges made by Senator Spencer
and the Radical congressman
from that State, that outrages
are perpetrated there. They. a.
yer that the charges were made
for the purpose of influencing
elections In the North and West,
and to procure Federal troops
to be sent to Alabama to con-
troll the election. They also
charge that the rations donated
by Congress to sufferers by the
overflow Of the rivers, are used
as a corruption fund all over the
State for the purpose of CONTROL
ing the election by the Rc2ubli-
can party.

/ Mr.. Wisener said 1--WE had
met here for the purpose ofnom-
mating a Governor, perhaps, if
the Convention chooses, but at
any rate to devise some means
to beat Democracy. He had
been fighting Democracy Al
years. Didn't think a greater
calamity could befall this coun7
try than for the Democratic
party TO come into power. Give
them both houses Of Congress
and they will undo all that has
been done by the Republicans
since 1866. You will go back
into slavery, my colored friends.
This is easily done; all they
have to do is to increase the
number of Judges of the SUI
premc Court and then have the
Court decide all the late amend
ments to the Constitution in
valid and procured by fraud"
This is portion Of the speech
Of the Hon. w. II. Wisener,1 at
Chattanooga, on the 10Th nit,
when he was appointed Proyis--
ional Chairman Of the Repub-
lican, Convention. q Mr.. Wise
ner is a good lawyear and a rc-
spectacle man. He is no novice
in political matters. This makes
his conduct appear in a very
ugly light, He kncw,t while
he uttered the above, q he was
misrepresenting his opponents.
We are surprised at such a
course. 1t can be readily. seen,
that this was an effort OH. his
part to hold the negro in dthe
Republican, party by appealing
to his fears. The Convention
went back upon the negro cn
the social rights bill and Wise
ner and Maynard were sugar
ing them with the idea, that
they must vote for them, i'll or
der to keep them from going in
to slavery. We don't expect
many of them to vote with us
but we honestly warn them that
the white Republicans of Ten
nessee headed by BrownIow are
dead out against, them, in tho
Social Rights Struggle. Now
go and howl for your quas
friends. Franklin RerietU.

illustrated from his own designs,
making fun of the comet.
There is also a poem by Helen

Railroads and the Gran

road management calls down
upon itself the just wrath of
the honest farmers; and while
many of them in the prosecu-
tion of a hostile opposition to
The railroads, have been con-
trolled by q too yindictivc spir-
it, yet the views of many of the
milder grapgers must commend
themselves fayorably to every
justice-loving citizen of the
United States. There is moth
ing truer than the oft-repeated
assertion that the industry Of
the country is dependent upon
the railroads; and its success in
large measure depends upon
how well they are managed and
controlled. If the railroads are
run for the benefit Of stock
gamblers and INSCRIPTIONS spec
ulators, the masses of the popula-
ton OF the country must suffer.
Nothing in the world is more
true than this. 1 T.i-.l
A writer in the New York
Tribune several days..ago, treat
cd upon this subject very ably
and very forcibly. He raises a
point which we think has not
been sufficiently insisted upon.
1t is: The distinction made in
tariff rates between through and
local freight as bearing on the
question of Justice to the farm
ers. The railroads, beside be-
ing run for the benefit Of a few
managers are often run for the
benefit of the terminal cities
The natural results Of this has
been the rapid growth in wealth
of a few cities, and the destruc-
ton or decay Of the intermedi-
ate towns. This writer insists
upon the well known fact that
it costs the manufacturer or
merchant less to ship his wares
over the whole length Of rail-
road than a part Of if. 1t costs
as much to- ship from the mid
die of road to either end as
from one end to the other. The
freight from ocean to ocean is
less than if carried half way,
The injustice of this system
must be apparent to any one
who can read, and can see with
open eyes. The only possible
statcmentin its favor is the adj
ditional wealth it brings into
the managers hands by success
full competition with other road
and against this insignificant
sophistry are arrayed the de-
mands and the interests of the
vast industry of great people.
1.-THE farmer" says this writer,
has toiled behind the plow and
the reaper piling up the golden
hsrvcsts in hope of transforms
ing his humble cottage into a
home of beauty and enjoyment
If he has failed, the frescoed
palaces of railroad kings reveal
the cause. The railroad kings
can borrow countless millions al
= or 8 per cent. in the cities,
while the farmer or mechanic
can rarely get loan for 10 oil
20 per cent. This state of
things is the natural result of
the present railroad system
Where did Gould get his $780,
100000, Vanderbilt his $70,-
100000, Scott his $50,0O0,0O0,
and the rest of the railroad
Kings their $5,000,000 and
S1O,OOO,OOO? Did they pillow
it ont of the sods of the prairies?
Did they dig it out of the mount
aims? Did they fish it out of the
sca?'
There is but one answer to
these inquiries, and that answer
is universal one. 1t comes
from the heart of great peo-
pie; Whose pnlsations are MAIN
