OF the division Of the negro voters into
squads OF tens, wi h leaders to see
| that thf y voted. Hs referred to Cbal-
mers' arithmetic, and showed by his
own figures that he claimed his cleo
lion by the negro votes estimated at
1924, the white Republican votes es
timated at 500, and the Greenback
votes, which latter he estimates at
1000. Judge Morgan then read the
letter of the great Greenback
leader, Gen. A. NJ. West, which
was addressed to the Hon. W.
s. Eskr.dge, in which he proclsimed
his allegiance to the Democratic party,
and announced that he would in the
future act with The Democracy, and
showed that Chalmers could not ex.
pect the vote of Greenbacker in this
district, aud by leaving out the 1000
Greenback votes he was defeated by
his own figures. He then said "if
there is a single Greenbacker who
would latter this letter. desert his
great leader and r, fuse to follow him
snd his patty comrades into the Demo
cratic triumphal procession, but in
stead would prefer to follow Chalmers
with the crowd that he proposes to or
ganize into the Republican party, he
knew thst the Grsenbsckers would
give Chalmers quit claim to all of
their interest in such Greenbscker,
and that he (Morgan) would furnish
him (Cha mery) with a collar to put
upon his neck, and with a halter with
which to tie him bshind his wagon"
We do not think there was man in
the audience who was not convinced
that the Executive Committee and
Judge Morgan We're right in declining
to enter into joint debate with
Chalmers.
Judge Morgan was listened to with
the greatest Interest, and at the con-
clusion of his speech a storm Of ap-
plause greeted him, aud il there we're
any Democrats present who bad been
previously timid or douhtful they
were satisfied that the cid Democratic
banner was safe in the bands of its
bearer, and all felt that the canvass
had opened glcriously and that
grand triumph awaited us in No
vember.
AT the conclusion Of Judge Mor9an's
speech calls for Capt. j. T. FAINT (who
had accompanied the Holly Springs
Democrats on the special train were
made, and this favyr,te son of Msrshsll
county was compelled TO respond.
This he did in his own eloquent and
happy style. He announced his de-
termination TO do all that he could to
promote the election Of Judge Morgan
and the success OF the Democratic
party, and appealed to the Byhalia
boys who had calamity stood by his
side on the field OF ba tie to once more
rally to the defense OF the old party
for whose triumph and success they
had always 50 manfully struggled.
Capt. Fant's address but added the
climax to the enthu iasm OF the crowd
and cheer after cbeeIo greeted him,
after which the band suEuck up, aud
ii was near midnight When all dis
persed, f. cling that there had been a
grand political revival in our midst,
and each determined to buckle on his
armor, "shake fl the dew drops that
glitter on his garments and march
once more TO battle and to victory"
