the negro vote OF the south, but in
reality adopted to diminish democrat
ic ballots in northern cities. Of the
$685., 295 appropriated for supervisors
and marshalls In 1876, only $4S, 719
had been expended at the south.
The remainder was paid out at the
north, and over $3.50, 900 in the city
of New York alone. In 1878 it was
still worse. Only o~ne-twelfth of that
years appropriations 1922, TAP was
spent at the south.
Under democractic rule recently re-
established at the south, all classes
and interests, continued the speaker,
had been advanced. 1t was wonder
full to contemplate what had been ac-
complished. Southern production had
been so vast that in the short period
of ten years two thirds Of its exports,
after supplying home demand, would
have liquidated the national indebted
ness if it could have been applied in
that way.
The attack made on Crittenden was
easily repulsed. 1t was conclusively
shown by documentary evidence that
Zimmerman and Hamilton were exc
cuted in obedience to a decree
of condemnation by court
marshal Of those persons to
death, in consequence of their
being adiudged to be maraaders and
horse thieves preying upon all classes
of society.
Capt. Mcintyre finally took up the
Cotty act, and soon convinced his
hearers that instead of being a bill of
reputation, it was a statute to define
the rights of debtor counties and their
creditors, securing for each such an
adjudication Of their claims by the
supreme court as would be respected
in national tribunals of higher resort.
In concluding, the Captain remind
ed the democracy that it was their duty
to be wide awake this year. Their
highest and best interests we're at
stake, and, therefore, he advised them
not to scratch their tickets because
some objections might be made
against some of the party's nominees.
The present was not a time for
lodging and exchanging. If the
battle is to be won, the raliying cry
along the whole line must be ''princi-
Piles, not men,"
In the foregoing report it has been
our aim to give such an outline of
: Capt. McIntyre's address as would
indicate both the attack made by
, Judge Forrist on the Democratic
party, and its %vlndication from that
aspersion. Within the space that
can be allotted to this address, which
occupied ver two hours in its deliv-
cry, there Is not Dom for q fair syn
opsis of what was said, much less the
text and language of the speaker, but
we hope enough has been reported to
l convince our readers of the importance
and success of the task undertaken.
