GRANDMA HAwKIEs's YARN
Gov. Hawkins said he recognized in the
anpearance of the audience the TACT that the |
paople were interested IN the questions Of
The day and that they were aware OF their
dnties. He addressed himself TO their pride
/ az Tennesseans and their patriotism az Amer
leans. He conceded to all men the same
privileges that he wished accorded to MIN.
He conceded to every man the right 10 differ
| from him. Two years ago he had been
l elected governor of the State OF Tennessee
| He had tried 10 do his duty in that othce
In April last he mad been CHOSEN again as |
the standard bearer of the Republican party.
He was ready 10 render an account OF MS
stewardship and to vindicate every official
| act of his administration. He had canvassed |
| nearly the whole of the State, and he had
Ieyerywhere been greeted by large audiences,
showing that the people wanted TO know the
| truth. There were those in the State who
assumed to dictate to the people. In some
| of the counties posters had been put up on
the walls and fences, telling the people 10
| stay away from the speaklngs,a as Bate woulo
| soon be there. He had said to the people
| that these men would apply the torch to the
| temple OF liberty itself, and then run away
| dnrine the conf agration. 1t had been boosted
in Nashville and in Memphis that the Dem
ocratic party would buy 10000 colored votes
There was a time when colored men couId
| be bought, Dul ludl day Neo P"oN,
colored votes were no more on the market
than white votes. The people had been
, told that the country would be ruined, the
wheels of industry would run backward II
| the Republican party got into power. Inc
| liberty of the country would be sppverled II
the Republican party got possession oil the
| Natiooal government. That party mad now
been in power for nearly quarter oil cen
n tnry. and was there a man in the audience
:, that did not know that the country WIS
he freest. the happiest under this broad
Icanony of heaven? On the banner OF the
narty was inscribed, "Pesce on earth and
-, good will to men" See reconstruction
measures and bloody shiri lor lurther ue-
C tails ON this subiect.-REP The country,
owing to the Republican party, had gold
| circulating medium. 1t was grand achieve
l ment of the party. The people were told
II that the public debt would never be paid
n and yet large amount OF 1t had heen
. paid besides a considerable amount oi
money for pensions. Industries had BEER
,timulated and encouraged by this party
| and he looked forward 10 magnificent fu'
Y ture for himself and his children. What
IF were the principles OF the party? They
were inscribed on the banners and every
s. man knew them. The impel ishable and
immortal principles of the old Wing party
: were inscribed upon the banner

. The Republican party had favored the pub
lie school system. The speaker, BY way o
h buncombe, spoke of the convict labor EN-
ng ployed in the State of Tennessee in competl
d. lion with free, honest labor. The Repusll
- can party, in its platform, was opposed
'e- this. He wanted TO know what the Demo

oTy his speech was delivered here before, and
reminds one OF the bashful young man W
