crowd of unemployed strikers indoors, ani
they did not even assemble in their usual
numbers at the different packing houses at
o'clock. Of the 5000 strikers who are still
out of jobs only small majority turned out
The biggest crowd was at Armour's, where
about 500 assembled on the viaduct Not
one was put to work, and they all went
back home disappointed Very few of
the old hands We're taken back at any

was the scarcity of hogs. The receipts wert,

furthest on Saturday, iU which vent large

Mr.. Bulwer, Q c., last week sentenced
Henry Shedd to one months hard labor
and twelve strokes of the cat for having
refused work offered him at three shil
liugs per day, and having gone into the
workhouse. Certainly it seems a strong
measure that the rates should have t.
support a man who might earn three shil-
lings a day if he chose.
On the other hand. it is an equally
strong measure that q man should be
logged who declines to regard three shiI>

allows this, it is clear that every one who
goes on strike. and. being on strike, falls
back on the rates for support. is liable to

sons residence last Saturday after.
noon. We do not consider it necessary
to give a long report of the speeches,
as, with slight variations, they were
substantially agreed on all national
questions. All acquitted themselves
ably--not a poor speech was deliver.
ed. Mr.. Bond was eloquent and en-
tertaining; Mr.. Latta made a strong
argument in favor of stopping the
coinage of silver; Mr.. Caldwell was
argumentative and interesting; Mr..
Pierce was fowery and impressive;
ana Judge Carthel was logical and
powerful in his arguments. The lat.
ter gentleman-our home man-made
strong and thoughtful speech, one
which thinking men can consider and
ponder over. He shows deep research
and Judicial training. If he is sent to
congress, oui district will BE- repre.
sented by one of the closest reasoners
and hardest workers in that body.
Messrs Bond and Caldwell tried hard
to get Mr.. Pierce to say whether he
would abide by the action and sup,
port the nominee of the Brownsville
convention, but, like the Irishman's
fea,::when they put finger on him he
ives not there. He said if he went
into the convention he would support
the nominee; he would never do any,
thing for the election of a republican.
When asked if he would run as an
independent candidate, he repeated
that he would do nothing TO elect a
republican; but he would not say
whether he would be an independent
candidate or not. He left the i'm,
preston on the audience that he
would run as an Independent if he
fonnd that he could not get the NOM
ination at Brownsville, and lost
friends here by not answering plainly
yes or no. Numbers of them say
they will MT support him as an inde-
pendent, as much as they admire
him.

Arrested for Wife Murder.

As will be remembered, an account
of the killing of Mrs. McEwen near
Gibson was published in these col,
umns some months since, reported to
have been lone by unknown parties.
Since then suspicion has gained ground
in the neighborhood that her husband,
B. McEwen, was guilty of the terri
ble murder, and the grand jury at
Humboldt last week investigated the
matter thoroughly, resulting in true
bill being found against him. We
hear that his bond was fixed at $4,000,
which he had not secured at last
reports.

BOB TAYLOR.

1t was wonderful. Never before,
since the war, was such a canvass
made as Bob made. He captured
the hearts cf young men and old men.
Now, with one accord they all cry,
give us Bob or give us death. In vain
have the republicans nominated ALI
to shut off Bob. In vain do his OPP
posers cry, he can not run against his
brother. The answer comes back
flom the mountains of the east, from
the savannahs of the west, and from
the billowy hills of Middle Tennessee:
Give us Bob. The counties of Sulli-
van, johnson Cooke, Unicoi, Clai.
borne, Hancock, Hawkins, Lauder
dale, Benton, Dixon, Madison, Moore,
and many more, have already in.
structed for him, and still the tidal
wave rolls on.
And what canvass it will be when
he meets Alf on the hustings! Never
such was cen before. Brother against
brother. Both fine speakers. The
ewes of all the states of the Union will
be on US. Voters will come from the
hills and hollows, and from every
nook and corner of every county in
Tennessee, to hear and to see,the won-
derful combat.
1t will be angry and bitter, you
say, and will estrange the brothers.
Oh, no, not at all. Both are men of
excellent private character, and neith-
ct has an extended political record.
There need be no ill>humored SPAR
ring, no sharp personalities. The day
for that sort of political speaking
passed away with Parson Brownlow
and his crew. That kind of talk leaves
the average crowd of sovereigus with
teeth on edge. If you think can
vass can not be interesting without it,
you have forgotten how Bob laid it on
to Sam Hawkins, and how all demo>
Gratis went away proud and joyful.
Yet there was no bitterness and no
billingsgate; and yet this was the
very canvass that made Bob's repu-
tatioa statewide.
We want big vote this year. We
want to run our majority away up to
the old figures, along into the forty
thousands. All we need.to do this is
to get the democrats out. The stay.
at.homes run our vote down last elec-
ton. Bob and the unique canvass
will bring them out from everywhere,
and he will arouse them and enthuse
them. A few of the political dudes
around the cities, and some of the
wire working politicians may not want
Bob, but the country people want
him the honest, hard-fsted, un>
selfish people from the country with
no axe to grind. They want him,
and they are determined to have him.
They are concerned only for the honor
and glory of the democratic party,
and they want TO see its banner car.
ried high and proudly, and they want
to hear a shout 60 up everytime the
flagstaff is raised. They want no tame
canvass. They want it lively and a
great deal of it, and Bob is the man to
put it up in that shape. He is one Of
the ablest men in the state, and is
without a peer as a canvasser. He
has Itriumphed over the republicans
glorlously every time he has met them
10 political contest.
Give us Bob and we shall be happy.

No "COOns" Wanted.

Jack Grim, colored, returned here
from Cairo few days since, where he
has been living some time, working
with grocery and produce house. A
short time since he was sent up the |.
q. road to Anna, Ill.,, a red hot re-
publican town, to buy a lot of chick
ems, eggs, etc. While walking along
the street, he was halted by a white
man and asked what he was doing
there. Jack stated his business and
sauntered of slowly. But the Hoos,
ier was not satisfied. He told Jack
that "coons" were not allowed in that
town, and he'd better move out quick.
Jack found that the town was an un-
healthy place for "niggers" and struck
bee line for the depot. He said he
thought the folks looked at him
mighty Gurus" on the street, but
didn't understand it until he found he
was the only "nigger" in the town,
and that they were about to mob him
to get him away Jack is a strong
democrat now, and tells the negroes
to 90 to Anna, Id, if they wish to
find out how well the republicans OF
