THIRD EDITION.
" has @ ROY in BIae says.

A Republican rally was held Wed.
nssday night In the Second ward. Phila-
and General Adam King of
Baltimore was the speaker. Mr.. King
said:
| am not here to make any apologieS
for the Republican, party. The party
has survived the sneer Of the fool. the
hiss Of the eopperhsad and the attack
Of armed rebels, and will continue
to survive the shot gun policy Of the
south. Now, while the music Of busy
wheels resounds through the land;
when immigrants are coming to our
shore, mighty throng from every
quarter of the globe, with eager eyes
and happy hearts, singing Uncle Sam
is rich enough TO buy rs all a farm,
the Democratic party comes forward to
defend your Government. They i'm.
plore you to forget the past. Iimplore
you to remenberit.
Referring to the nomination Of Tildsn
he said: "1'hs Democratic party took
up Samuel ]. Tildsn and shouted for
filden and Reform" Every tramp
lurking in dark alleys with blackja ack
ready to strike down his victim aid rot
him, was for Tilden and reform. Rve'
ry topper, struggling after nights de-
bauch into some rum shop, called fol
his dram, and wiping out his watery
eyes as he graspsd his glass, and said
Here's to Tilden and reform" BverJ
night rider and moonsbipsr was fol
Tilden and Reform. Every internal
rascal and outlaw from society wal
for Tilden aud reform. Every convic
in Sing Sing was for Tildenand reform
Mr.. King closed by exhorting hi
audiance t" bury the bogus Democracy
under mountain of intelligent voter
on the md Of November next"

sixty years, and is still in the

people reflect credit upon themselves
He has held this Office before for two

The great local upheaval of 1876
threw him out, but he none the less
carried with him into private life the
confidence and regard of those whose
approval is most to be sought and
valued He simply asks for the
nomination, and will abide by the ac.

SELLING THE SELMA AGAIN,
An Early Move 70 be Made
to Construct IL.

The Selma railway was resold in
front of the Shelby county court
house yesterday, by order Of the
United States court, the same buyers
as before bidding it in at 10000,
Major j. j. Busby representing the
purchasing parties. The property
bought includes fifty miles of com
pleted road, extending from Selma in
this direction, with the rolling stock
now operating it, also the right of
way between this city and Selma, upon
which no iron has ever been
laid. 1t IS understood that
the buyers will, as soon
as the court confirms the sale, at
once organize, with a view of building
or extending the road and putting it
into operation with as little delay as
possible. Believing it to be good
property, parties in the east, capital
lists too. have offered to take an inter-
est in the enterprise. The buyers of
the road have been more or less in
terested for some time past financially
and otherwise, and they feel the i'm
pOrtance of developing the country
and increasing trade by an immediate
move toward building the railway.
The bonded debt of the road was
originally 100000, but a part of these
have been since taken up and can
celled. The Aberdeen bonds sold
some time ago to Mr.. Horace An
drews were not offered yesterday, the
making advanced bids having
withdrawn their proposals.
