does not avow his Republicanism on ac-
count of ostracism and persecution, on his
way home from the Centennial called to

of the position he occupies toward the

paper in this city as follows:
CLEVELAND, Tenn Oct. 49, 1876
| You are continually abusing the South
| about something. You Northern folks got
| rich off the war, while it broke the South
up. You are always harping about South
! ern claims. The people of the South have
/ right to be paid for everything that was de-
/ stroyed by the Yankees And IRE are going 10
| hare H. 1t is nothing but right that we
should be paid, and ne intend to be, lost
1 twenty negroes, and | ought to be paid fG
| them. w. s. TIPToN.
/ The Tennessee rebel differs from the
| thousands of other rebels in the South in
| that he openly proclaims what the rest are
I keeping quiet for policv's sake until Til
den is elected. Should the Democratic
I ticket be successful, from the whole South
( will come the impudent cutlery of this
I man: THE people of the South have
+ right to be paid for everything that was
/ destroyed by the Yankees. Ind IRE are
/ going 10 haze it, In these words the
whole policy of the South is summed up.
( For this policy they are numbering ne
| groes, prescribing white Republicans,
breaking mp Republican meetings, solidl-
flying the South, and working for Tilden.
When they obtain control of the Govern
ment, then they will openly proclaim
what this fool from Tennessee could no
keep to himself The people Of the North
must decide at the polls in November
whether they will pay the eX-rebels OF the
South for the damages occasioned by
Union troops in keeping them in the
Union. If they are not ready, their only
escape is to vote for Hayes and Wheeler.
