THE CONGRESSIONAL CANVASS.
The Granger Candidate Makes HIS
Appra rance nj cambridge.
Three COrnered Fighi--sIouk, VIA.
Dry and Democracy Against
IhOrnhuIah.

from Knoxville Daily Chronicle. Sent. 3 ]
The Congressional discussion at
cambridge on Tuesday, the l>t inst,
was enlivened by the appearance of the
Democratic Granger candidate, Col.
Geo. W. Mabry, one Of Knox county's
most intelligent and ambitious far
mers. We make the following report
from private letters and notes sent us
by parties who were present:
Heretofore Col. Thoruburgh has had
Houk and his Democratic latter day
reforms to contend with, but now
Houk and Mabry have locked hands
to beat the Little Giant"
From reports, Mabry's appearance
on the stump only serves to unmask
Houk's Democratic support and make
it more and more apparent that he is
now counting the Democratic rather
than the Republican vote.
THE DISCUSSION.
At 1880, p. NJ, Colonel Thornburgh
opened the debate making suhstantis
ally the same points he did in his other
speeches. In reference to Houk' IS re-
cord on the funding bill, he read from
his speech in favor of the till to show
that his sudden change of frDnt had
been made upon the points upon
which he previously opposed the bill.
He addressed some questions to Col.
Mabry, and while on the Civil Rights

ON CIVIL RIGHTS
Mabry said it was an imposition anC
that he was opposed to the measure /,

the negro freedom and the ballot, anC
that was enough. In this State they
have no sort of right to complain. H,
