to the constitution providing that
they should never be paid, and that
now her bonds are selling above par.
Mr.. Wilson is in receipt Of a letter
from that State giving a list OF the
bonds repudiated and so authenticated
as to be the sharpest arrow In his
culver during the canvass.
An incident occurred during the
debate that was of much advantage TO
Judge Wright. Somebody handed
the latter a note while speaking to
the effect that he had "bolted" at
Belmont, which was denounced as a
wicked lie by Judge Wright, who
happened to occupy a post OF honor
in that very battle.
From the reports sent to the Nash
vile American, it would seem that
Mr.. Wilson is skinned afresh every
day publicly and shamelessly by his
opponent. 1 am led to believe that
the skinning process, as described by
the young man Of the American is a
very interesting n and have en-
deavored to get a ticket of admission
TO the show, but so far have signally
failed. But l will tell you what l
have seen over and over again every
day. / have seen Judge Wright
caught in the meshes Of every intrl-
cate argument he has spread. l have
seen him beaten on every Q point
he has urged. | have heard him
answered fully and to the extreme sat
~islaction of the crowd on each ques-
ton asked. And again | have seen him
ask question after question relevant to
the main issue and each time have lseen
them ignored and turned aside by
some funny auecdote blythe other side.
Instead Of devoting his time to pleas
antry and personalities, Wilson grasps
the subject with a giants grip. and
the magic of his argument is in itself
sufficient to hold his audiences spell
bound. Leaving out the subtletles
and curious windings of metaphysics,
the plainest words framed into the
plainest sentences, are alive with the
fires of eloquence, and carry with
them to the hearts of the people a
mighty weight, and however much
they may applaud the wit of Judge
Wright, Mr.. Wilson's remarks are
carried home as a sort of mental fod-
der for the mind to chew upon. This
last idea does not originate with me,
but | have heard almost the same
words used by hundreds of those with
whom | have spoken.
In concluding, | have only to say
that except Gibson this will be closer
contested than any county l have
passed through. Dyer county casts
about 400 votes, Wright's strength
lies in the little towns and Wilson's in
the country. Mr.. Wilson's speech to-
day made him many friends, thus
swelling his already large following in
this county. We leave by carriage in
about an hour for Ripley, Lauderdale

ASuRgeshOn to summer Tourists

A change Of climate is at all times
more or less dangerous. There are
elements in a new atmosphere which
are injurious, especially when the
system is exhausted by care and over
work, and which should be guarded
against. After careful observation
we have come to the conclusion that
Warmers safe kidney and liver cure is
the best preventive for atmospheric
evils and that it will restore health
and vigor sooner than any remedy
which has ever been discovered.
