urday, there we're over 400 people
present.
Col. Manning who was introduced
by Col. I. j. Hudson, the chairman
Of theleounty Executive Committee,
expressed sorrow that circumstan!
ces were so that he had not been
able to address them on a former
occasion. He said that be was the
only candidate for an organized
party in this district. He has heard
that some malevolent persons, had
been SO lost to decency, as 10 say
he had something TODD with Car.
ter's candidacy. He had never had
any communication with him, eth
er oral or written, and as he was a
plain blunt man, he denounced any
one who uttered the foul Islander
either directly or indirectly, as "a
har, and felt sure no one who val,
ued his seif-respect would again,reS
peat it. TEA
He SAID Carter was afalse proph-
ct, going about to stir up strife be-
tween the white and colored peo-
pie, and all good men should have
nothing to do with him. There was
no reason why the black men
should band themselves against the
white. We are spending $1,000
1000 to keep up the free schools and
only $4,000 are raised by taxation
from the negroes. Chalmers goes
for Arthur for his message i'll favor
Of improving the Mississippi river,

Arthur vetoed it. He said no

said by their platform, in this codn.

was.one OF the most important prln-
ciples Of their party, and lie was a
tbbigh RFo1ectionistt R9 showed
the injnstieaO of the present tariff,
ana!sAid it, was the greatest ques-
ton before the American people to-
day, and that he was in favor of re-
%lievlng the working men of this
country from this unjust burden.
He. said Chalmers was not a
Greeubacker, he was not a Repub.
lican, he was not "a Democrat and
he was not an Independent, for he
said "here, Arthur, write the name
of the man you want me 10 vote for
on my collar, and l will go and
stick in the ballot" he was nothing
and but little of that. Gen.
Chalmers was a man CONSUMED BY
HIs APPETITE FOR OFFICE and. he then
read a letter from Henry Q. Myers
see in another column. 3>
In conclusion he said he stood
squarely n,the Democratic plat
form. 1t is in this paper, read it
and see it you like it.
Gen. Chalmers opened by regret.
ting hie physical inability to do
himselfo or the cause he represented
justice. There was a growing spir-
it of independence all over the
country, 1t has caused Ohio to go
Democratic, Penn. likewise. 1t
bas made Delaware republican and
caused the Republicans TO gain a
Congressman III West Virginia.
He denounced Garter as a black
guard, and said he Gid not believe
Manning had anything to do with
his candidacy. He read the "Jonas
letter" which reflects severely on
Senator Lamar, at the sane }time
said he did not know whether it
was genuine OF a forgery, He was
infavor Of supervising railroads.
He did not come here to make ex-
cuses for quitting the Democratic
party. lie did not believe the tar
iff was right, yet some thought it
was for the interest of the country
and he would go with them. He

on his pledges TO the people.
