FROM CARTER COUNTY

JOHNSON CITY, Oct. 8.-The court
house was packed and Pettibone
made the opening speech at Eliza
bethton to-day. He began by say
ing: "The people of Carter county
know me, and [ have no apologies
to make for the past" Major Petit
bone discussed the tariff three
fSurths of his time In a rambling, OBJ
scure argument. There was no dem
onstration in his favor, not even a
single cheer during his entire speech.
Kings opening sentences capti-
waited the crowd and Republicans
and Democrats joined in tremendous
applause. Throughout his speech,
emphatically four fifths of the audi
ence applauded King. Pettibone's
Sophistry and scheming was expo
sed, and the wrongs Taylor had suf-
fered were depicted in convincing
terms. Determination was seen in
the faces of Republicans to resist
Pettibone. He had never been their
hearty choice, and the news from
Carter IN November would prove
they wanted no more of bossism.
