DENIsoN, TEX, Oct. 30.-Judge Silas
Hare, Democratic nominee for congress.
spoke TO the largest audience that has
yet assembled 10 the canvass in this
county, and We must say that the audience
was the most enthusiastic, attentive and
appreciatiye that this opera house has
ever held, and was fully appreciated by
the honorable speaker, who was fire.
quenIy Interrupted by hearty ap-
plause. The judge spoke for hours.
He staTte' out by saying that he had
been assaulted in every conceivable manner
by some who opposed him, but he had
always discussed Democratic principles
in answer TO their ASSAULTS that il u resi-
dence Of about forty years in Texas had
not Informed the people OF this district
what manner OF man he was, that
he had better step down aud
out. But there are some things that 1t is
necessary TO notice, az the canvass Is

sailed him repeatedly, and In quarters
where he conld not answer
him, and Pickett has stated that
there was an agreement that the one OF
us which fell behind in the convention at
Denton agreed 70 withdraw. He has
never known that there was any such
agreement when he was present and no
living man at the Denton convention
heard of any such agreement. On the
contrary, when he heard that Pickett
was saying this, he wrote him
a letter and told him there was
no such an agreement. To this he did
not reply, and has not. When met him
he said and agreed that IL was Simply a
mistake between he and myself, and that
the public are not interested in T., and we
agreed to drop it.. Yet lind in a circular
Just issued by Pickett on the heels OF the
election, that he ieSffirms that such an
agreement was made. After r. Las
more than once stated thu be-
would use that agreement no moro,
now, when / am not present, / an uold
that Pickett would use that agreement,
but never when | was present. Now
docs it not look reasonable that after my
denial OF snch an agreement, and after
my denial in writing, so that if my denial
was untrue Pickett could be able to damn
me as a common liar, II he had any proof
he would have brought it, and was not
that burden on him.
In "A circular Just published and headed
Gan Address by Hon. G g. Pickett to
the Citizens of the Fifth Congressional
District" among other things, he says in
tho RnHURVQafinn bn Ftnanfnur Harm had
the support of the ring politicians and
representatives OF capital and corporate
interests there present, even including
the solid support of the national banks.
The speaker then read Pickett's circular,
Just issued on the eve of the election,
made an afficavit with names attached
to 1t,
The State Of Texas, County of Grayson
We the undersigned do state upon our
oaths that we acted as delegates to the
congressional convention at Denton as
representatives of Grayson county; we
also state that while W. 3. Munson,
q national banker, was delegate
from Grayson county, and acted under in
structions to vote fol- Hare, that we never
saw him In any caucus in the in crest Of
Hare, and it was notoriously understood
and talked OF that ne was strictly oppos-
ing the nomination of Hare and using all
his influence for that purpose. We further
state that G.. b. Pickett was
present at the convention during
the proceedings, and must have known
these facts and we state that his state
ment that Hare had the solid support of
national bankers Is not true.

81 do not make this point, that 1t
would necessarily be against man for a
national banker to be for him. Far from
it. 1t is to show that the truth has been
departed from and mercilessly ignored In
Pickett's circular and his veracity sadly
marred. These matters are personal in
their nature and could never have been
received by me. You know me, fellow
citizens, and that my work has never
been questioned, when stated

He then took up the Issues of the day
and discussed them from a Democratic
stand point. Many prominent Republicans
were present who seemed deeply inter
ested In the speech, and who Joined In
the applause when the speaker would
make a decided hit. The most prominent
ones in the country were supporting him.
They had no candidate, and he was their
choice between the Democrats, and It
was a compliment to him from personal
attachment. Bat they knew he had been q
lifelong opponent TO them, and would 60
to congress a Democrat, carrying aloft
Democratic banner on which would be
embIazoued in letters Of gold, equal and
exact Justice to all, special privileges to
none.n This is the motto OF Democracy
and has ever been, and which was 30 near
and dear 10 the hearts Of the people to-day.
On labor aud capital, he said that the
Democratic party had ever been the

amined, would show this; Thet although
