The Pulaski citizen. [volume] (Pulaski, Tenn.) 1866-current, 1882-10-05
Col. Jno. G. Ballentins.

Col. Jno. G. Ballentine, the NOM
inee for congress, was born and
raised in Pulaski, being one of the
sons of the late Andrew Ballentine,
one of the most progressive and pub
lic-spirited men of his day Col. Bal
lentine moved to Mississippi before
the war and commanded regiment
of Mississippi cavalry during the
dark days. He is about So years
of age, of magnificent form, courtly
address, strong in body and mind.
He was graduated from the Univer-
sity of Nashville and afterwards
from Harvard. He was always
active in business, priscely and
cordial in his friendships, and is
marked with one of the unerring
characteristics of elegant gentlemen
of We olden time-a love of fine
horses and alteration of the fair
sex. AS the nominee of the democ-
racy of this district he will carry
the banner ably and valiantly to
success. He is possessed OF that
urbanity and elegant cordiality of
manner that has made him very
popular and will win upon the peo-
pie as they come to know him.
The seventh district will not suffer
in being represented by such man.
The Pulaski citizen. [volume] (Pulaski, Tenn.) 1866-current, 1882-10-05

The state convention of the
Young mems Christian Association
will be held in the Methodist church
here from 18th to 10th of October.
We hope and believe that Pulaski
will give the delegates cordial re-
ception. A committee has been
appointed to secure homes for those
who come from a distance, and will
call upon you this week to see how
many you can accommodate. This
convention is calculated to do much
good in Pulaski by way of encour-
aging the association at this place
and awakening a more general re
ligious interest in the community.
Throw open your doors and give
the delegates homes, and encourage
them in their good work. There
will probably be seventy-five or a
hundred visiting delegates, who will
arrive on the morning of the 18th,
and it is the duty and will be the
pleasure of our citizens to see that
they are well entertained during
their stay.
The preliminary meeting will be
held at p. m. on the 18th, recep-
ton at p. IN. Welcome addresses

The Pulaski citizen. [volume] (Pulaski, Tenn.) 1866-current, 1882-10-05
Speaking Monday,

AS previously announced the
democratic candidates for the legis
lature spoke in Pulaski first Mon
day. They had a good crowd to
hear them. Mr. Blackburn spoke
first, and was followed by Capt. Bal
lentine. They both handled the
question of the state debt and other
important questions which the peo-
pie will be called upon to decide at
the ballot box in manner that
showed that they were thoroughly
posted upon the issues and able4to
defend their position and the prin-
ciples of the democratic party, not
only against the attacks of the
boilers and the republicans in the
canvass, but in the legislative halls,
when the fight will be hottest and
the result reached Giles will give
them an overwhelming majority
over all opposition.
After these gentlemen had con-
cluded, Mr. Gillespie of Lincoln, an
independent candidate for the senate
from this district, was introduced
by DR.. +. Edmuudson, democratic
nominee for that position. Mr..
Gillespie doesn't endorse any of the
several platforms cnunciated by the
various political parties of the state,
but says he has a platform of his
own. 1t consists of but one plank
the 60-3-4-5-6 act. He, like Fus-
sell and all his followers, argues that
upon the enforcement this one act
of Mr.. Hawkins three extra ses-
sions depends the honor, integrity
and prosperity of tae state and her
people. He contends that that act
is the law and cannot be coDstitu-
tionally repealed. He seems to be
the fair-minsed, straight forward,
honest farmer which he claims to be,
but he has made the mistake in
politics that all the boilers have
made, and it only took DIR. Ed
mundson, in his reply, few min
utes to knock his narrow, ''sky- blue"
platform sky-high.
