TRYING TO FIRE Up.
In the committees absence calls weT
? made for the orators, three of whom II
sponded in brief speeches.
G. w. Hynes said he considered it unn'
cess lry for him to speak in advocacy Of ID
Republican party, as its great history wa
fresh in the mind of every body and sUff
/ | GENTLY spoke for itself. The only thing
! wished TO say was that he intended to pm
| of his coat, roll up his sleeves, and do III
best thing he could fOT the party. [AI
plausel. 1t was their duty and their d,
sire to 90 in and do the best thing for III
party which they could. He believed ths
: Montgomery county could be placed wher
she belonged-.n the ranks of the Reput
( lican party, and hoped that Davidson couT
ty would get up,,as much enthusiasm as the
proposed to get up in Montgomery.
Mr.. Peabody made a brief address,
which he said the skies over their politics
horizon were not so black as many migl
= suppose. If the Republicans would stan
hand to hand and shoulder to shOulde
, victory was by no manner of means imPo'
: sible. This district was more vitality il
, terested in the success Of the party than an
other in the State, because Of principl
E first, and then of material welfare.
Judge NJ. ~ Brien yielded to repeate
: calls by making a short but sigDiticaI
i speech. He said be was not delegate an
that his district Qhe 15th) was not repr
sented. He felt like an orphan out Their
5 He had tried TO hold an electiO
: for delegates but had failed, there beiT
T but few Republicans in the district. E
| had come because there was no one else
represent the district. He claimed to
