Judge Abe DemOss made a1 able speech
in favor OF the nominees, at the conclusion
of which loud calls were made for Gen. W.
b. Bate. The General, however, gave way
TO Mai. Albert Akers, although the latter
had not been invited To be present and the
meeting had been called exclusively in the
interest OF the White Mans ticket. Maj.
Akers was accompanied by three of his
brnilefs and two personal friends. After
he had told about all the jokes that he ever

the rather extraordinary announcement
that If his hearers would scratch Dortch's
name off the regular ticket, he had nothing
more TO ask, as Ire intended to vote that
ticket himself. IL was evident, however,
that this declaration did not go down with
the crowd. What the other "thorougli-

most thrilling appeals for unity Of action to
which we ever listened. He implored the
people uf the old Fourteenth TO stand by
their colors and fire single shots, with no
scratching, for The good and competent

Quite a large crowd assembled at the
Chattanooga depot last night to witness
the dying efforts Of the Black-and-Tan out

Uhfis Powers led OF, but was interrupted
by calls for nearly every candidate before
the people, and finally concluded by saying
he was entitled to their votes because be
had the manhood to ask them to vote for
him.
When Powers finished his harangue,
calls were made for NJ. III. Brien, Jr., who
came forward and took the stand. By this
time the assemblage had grown somewhat
boisterous, and Brien prefaced his re-
marks by appealing to them net 20 10 any

Needed. lie made his usual speech, saying
he could not command an executive COM
| mittee, and, for the first time in the his
tory Of the country, politics were encEoaeb-
ing upon the judiciary,
At the conclusion Of Brien's speech, with
the crowd yelling for first one man and
then another, Mai. Albert Akers mounted
the platform and began one Of his peculiar
orations. He said that the battle had al
ready been won, the storm had passed and
the vistory was theirs. While he contin-
ued in this strain, and talked about the
compliments paid him every day for bis
| gallant deeds in the service of his country,
a party Of horsemen came dashing down
Church street towards the meeting. FROM
some cause or other this started general
stampede and a rush for the inside of the
building, during which Maj. Akers disap-
peared.
Order was finally restored, and at this
| juncture MAJ. Dick McCann, seizing lis
opportunity, jumped upon the stand and
tried to speak, but had hardly gained a
footing when lie was pulled down and Mai.
AkerS put up TO finish his speech which had
been so rudely interrupted,
lie was followed by Mai. McCann, who
made short speech, in which he said any
man who would vote the SiraightOu,
Democratic ticket was either a fool or an
idiot.
