letters from. Capt. j. w. Childress,
chairman of the democratic committee
"In reply to your two commuuica-

Judge Hawkins divide time with Capt.
Sheaf, and the other suggesting that as
Mr.. Edwards (as you arc infOrmed) has

material canvass, Judge Hawkins shall
meet Judge Wright in joint discussion.
! beg to say that Judge Hawkins has
made Il list of appointments reaching
up to the lst of November, at which
he will divide time with any of his
competitors aGi ke respectfully declines
to divide time with any one else. |
also beg to say that, as it is understood
that Judge Hawkins has three cOmpet-

at the time he refused, under the cir

The Speaking Monday.

bLN. DBEEIL, the Democratic can.
dldate, aud j.. w. James, the Green.
back candidate for Congress spoke tC
the crowd In the court house yard Mon.
day Gen. Dlbrcll opened the discus,
sion, singing the same old song that hC
has sung every time lac come around,
lie still claims to be a farmer. When
hc made this announcement a large
sized smile could be seen among the
audience for the fact Is, and almost all
know II, that lac has been an office hol.
der for - years. lie owns a little farm
near Sparta, but rents it out or has II
carried on.
lie was unusually bold in his asscr-
tons. lie charged that Gen. Garfield
had pocketed 5000 ofthc back salary.
We were somewhat surprised at that,
because we had thought Gen. Dibrell
too much Of 4 gentleman to be guilty
of such an Infamous assertion. Gen.
DibIcll knows very well that he told a
ialsehood when he made that charge.
The following from the Knoxville
Chronicle explains the matter:
We hardly know whether certain
tennessee democrats are most to be ad-
mircd for their blissiul ignorance or
their wide cNpanse Of brassy check.
They call Gen. Garfield n "salary-grab-
Der, " referring to the act of 1872, in
creasing the salary of congressman.
The fact is Gen. Garfield opposed that
salary bill in the committee of the
whole, and only voted for the appro-
priation bill, of which it was a part.
when 1t became evident thai its failure
would render an extra session of con-
gress a necessity. He never received a
dollar OF he back salary, but covered
ltlnJo the treasury ut once. On the
contrary, every democratic congress-
man from Tennessee pockcted the back
salary and kept it. These are the facts
and the Tennessee democrat who, UNI
der the circumstances, criticiscs Gen.
Gariield's acts without also condemn
ing the democrats then in congress
from Tennessee, must be either Il fool
or Il very bad man.
There are none but a few dirty, one
horse papers that make that charge,
aut to think that Gen. Dibrell would
50 degrade himself by uttering such a
dirty, low falsehOod, it was Il surprise
to us. He undoubtedly thinks the
people of this county are a set of igno-
ramuses, that never read, or else lie is
trying to earn the prize for the biggest
liar the country produces.
He failed TO say anything on the
state debt question, but it is well
known that lie is Il high tax man-as
he wrote letters and make speeches for
that side Il few months back.
We were Il little surprised also at his
abuse of the grccnbackers iHasmuch as
he told the people two years ago that
he waS a greeRbacker himself. But suck
is liIc-a man with no principles can
be anything for votes.

i am opposed to the democratic
party, and want to tell pou why: Ev-

that tiled TO tear the old flag down
was a democrat. Every enemy this
! Republic has had for twenty-five
years was a democrat. Every man
that starved Union soldiers, refusing
them a crust in tho extremity of
death, was a democrat. The man
that assassinated Abraham Lincoln
was a democrat. Every man that
sympathiZed with the assassin-every
man that was glad that the noblest
President even elected was dead, was
a democrat. Every man that wanted
the privilege Of whipping another man
to make him work for nothing and
pay him with lashes on his naked
back, was a democrat. Every man
that raised blood-hounds to pursue
human beings was n democrat. Ev-
cry nan that clutched babies from
the breasts Of shrieking, shuddering,
crouchiug mothers and sold them into
slavery was a democrat. Every man
that impaired the credit of the United
States was a democrat. Every man
that swore that he never would pay
the bonds, every man that swore hat
he never would redeem the green
backs, every maligner of this country's
credit, calumniator Of his country's
honor, was a democrat. Every man
that resisted the draft, every man
that hid in the bushes and shot at

believed that a State could go out OF
