TERRELL'S SPEECH.
IEINIkI1IIII . VI 11IICIIs
Snecial TELEGRAM to the Statesman.

RocKDALE, June 28-Hon. A. w. Terrell ad-
dressed large audience of Milan county citizens
at this place to-day. The crowd was Variously es-
timated from 1000 to ?5OO people, VINO pala tne
speaker throughout the address, which occupied
two hours and fifteen minutes.
Judge TeTrells arraignment of the class leglsla-
ton, out of which such vast age essions OF wealth
have grown at the expense of agriculture,
uttered in language most forcibe, and also plain,
that no one could misunderstand him.
The attack on ''watered stock OF railways ana
TELEGRAPH companies was whitening and cOnyinc-
ing as were also his utterances in regard 10 gam
bling in futures. Judge Terrell recognized the
railroads as part and parcel of our advanced civil
zation, admitting that they are necessary CORPORA
tions and entitled to even liberal interest on the
actual capital invested in them: but he insisted
that in their corporate capacity, they were amend,
able to legal regulations 1t was just to them and
to the people who sanction their existence ana
maintain them by their patronage.
His views on the labor agitation question were
expressed in substantially the same terms as ne
has spoken on other occasions. He had no obJec-
ton to the organization Of labor, or anything else
looking to its elevation and advancement, but he
denounced strikes and interference WIN OF destruc-
ton of either private or corporate property.
Judge Terrell made the statement that sixteen
members of the present American senate are
millonaires and that it was not to be wondered at
that the senate should continue to foster class
LEGISLATION. While stating that he would favor
co1ferrng q coat of tar and feathers on any man
from the north or south who sought political cap
ital by waving the bloody shirt, he believed tna'
the identity of agricultural interests existing be-
| tween the southern, western and northwestern
states should draw those sections very closely to
gether o..ou
niece OF reason and logic, creating mos
favorable impression. He at no time indulged II
the stereotyped anecdotes so commonly used bl
politicians but several of his brilliant hits eicie'
both laughter and applause.
| Judge Terrell has made a decided impression
here and his popularity with the people is 30 grea
as to compel an expression of their preference TO
him as United States senator in the next legls
| lature. , Al,
Business houses generally were closed, and tn
city appeared in holiday attire in honor OF tn
