ALAMO, TENN.
Fielder, the Democratic Nominee for
the LexfsIature-JOsiahP atter-
sons Speech.

Special Correspondence of the Appeal
ALAMO, October 5.-Thinkiug it might in
terest some of your readers to hear from the
Democracy of Crockett l will endeavor to
give you few items. On Monday last, o.
tober I'd, large number of delegates, select
ed by the different districts on the Saturday
night before, met In the courthouse of this
place for the purpose Of nominating a
Democratic candidate TO represent this
county in the next Legislature. After Or
g2nizlng the Convention proceeded to ballot
which resulted in the nomination of A. I.
Fielder. Mr.. Fielder is man of strong
personal following, and, though farmer by
occupation, has done good service in the
political field. He is squarely on the Bate
platform, and will carry the war into Egypt.
Mr.. L. b. Lewis, another aspirant for the
nomination and who was defeated only by a
few votes on the m a jority rule, was called out
by the Convention. He addressed the peo-
pie for Fielder and the Democracy in such
an eloquent manner that it Us ade his follow
ers proud OF the support they had given him.
During the time the committee was out Mr..
Frank Bond, of Haywood, in very thrilling
and mastery way, presented his and the
claims of the Democracy for the support of
the good people of Crockett Mr.. Bond is
the Democratic nominee for State senator of
this district, and although with Republi-
can majority of 1000 or 1900 to meet will, if
not elected, give his opponent a close rub.
After dinner the crowd assembled again TO
hear Col. Patterson, of your city, on the po-
litical topics of the day. Col. Patterson is
not only an eloquent, bot an able and clear
speaker. and his exposition of Republican
honor (so-called), hypocrisy aud misrule
with the Beasley and RUSSELL alliance left no
room for doubt or mistakes. His hearers
were largely the best representative men of
the county. We will roll up fine majority
for Bate in November. Yours, etc.,

marriages, one succeeding the other. Judge
Qusrlss charged that il under the laws OF
New York license was unnecessary, and an
zvowzl OF an intention Of living together as
man and wife, and so living constituted a
legal marriage; and If Mary Stuart Camp
bell and Owen Prentiss was married by her
father, a minister in good standing, in the
presence Of witnesses, thus constituting 3
legal marrisge; and if Owen Prentiss and
Lizzie VALLEY, she knowing of this previous
marriage, did by mutual consent live to-
gether as husband and wife, and 50 svow
themselves, then this constituted 4 marriage,
and Lizzie VALLEY was guilty as charged.
Some other points will also have to be passed
upon by the Supreme Court.
1t is thought by those who have heard the
evidence, and said BY one OF the prosecuting
attorneys, that it will be very hard to con-
vict Prentiss, because his Wife's evidence
cannot be used against him. 1t is the gen.
eral impression that she does not want him
convicted any way, as it was the woman and
not him she was after. No few say openly
that Prentiss will give bond in few days
and the case against him never allowed TO
come 10 trial. In return for this be ID said
to have agreed to live with his wife, Mary
Stuart Pfentisa. Others who claim to be
better posted, insist that the case will come
up and be disposed of at this term of court.

CONKLING ON GUITEAU.
The Ex-senator Thinks that she Assas-

The Louisville Sunday Argus says that on
a recent rip TO Washington DR.. Coleman
Rogers, of that city, met the Hon. Roscoe
ConkliDg, the great dividing wedge in New
York politics, and, owing to delay in max
ing railroad connections, they were thrown
together for period of eleven hourr, during
which time the great New York senator en-
gagged In general discursive talk, touching
a number Of Interesting subjects. Mr.. Conk-
ling, in company with Hurlbui, of The New
York World, boarded the train at Hot
Springs, Virginia, and, together with DR..
Rogers, they occupied the came section of
seats. Mr.. Conkling, ascertaining the fact
that he was in company with one of the rep
rssentstive medical men of Kentucky, the
conversation turned as to the sanity or in
sanity OF Charles Guitesu.
"What is your opinion of the case, doc
tori" asked Mr.. Conkling.
II think. sir, there was not a shadow of
doubt TO his insanity"
Exactly my belief" replied Mr.. Conkling.
"He was undoubtedly an insane man, and
his execution will be blot on the escutch-
con of the country, and future ages will 80
regard it."

peanuts and chalk are in serious trouble un-

peanut industry is great one. Peanuts are
heard and felt in every political convention,

ST. LOUIS, October 6.-The fair this week
has given a greater impetus to the jobbing
trade of the city than ever known before.
More people have been here from the coun-
try, and more goods have been bought than
during any previous fair week, and all
classes of merchants are happy. The retail
trade has also been enormous, and notwith-
standing very large sums of money were
spent for display in the way Of the illumin-
alton of the city and for the fantastic pro-
cessiop, everybody seems to think it was
money we'll invested, and the returns are
regarded as entirely satisfactory. There has
also been great activity in all kinds Of man
ufactures, and orders have flowed in and
purchases have been made by buyers on the
spot far in excess of the ability OF clerks and
porters to handle. 1t will take at least two
weeks 10 get even with orders.
