Of these gentlemen spoke.
MIR. Buck stroud's Speech.
The real speaking was then opened by
Mr.. W. f. Stroud. He spoke briefly but
forcibly and to the point. He expressed
his appreciation for the honor Of having
received liz votes for the Congressional
nomination, and said that he was a
Stroud man then, but that he was Bum
man now. He had served with Capt.
Bum in the Constitutional Convention
Of 1875, and there became we'll acquaint-

| Quoted himself as patriot and Christian
gentleman He urged the people of
Chatham to vote for Capt Bum because
he represented and would vote to carry
out the principles that the people favor.
Mr.. Stroud said that he was an earn
est Allianceman, and he was also an
earnest Democrat. In fact Alliance
principles and Democratic principles are
identical. He arraigned the Republicans
for having enacted the legislation which
had brought depression to the agricul-
tural interests of all sections, and show
eu that the Democrats had never had
the power to repeal those laws. ALI
ance principles can only be carried out
through Democratic success. His speech
would do good in every township :. :.,9
district. He is Gods noblest work: An
| honest man.
Mr.. Dunn's Speech.
Before receiving our correspondents
letter, the following account had been
taken from the Chatham Record:
Hon. b II. Bum spoke for an hour
aud a1half, making decidedly the best
speecl that we have ever heard him
make, and that is saying a great deal.
We will not do him the injustice of at

very able speech. He was repeatedly
greeted with loud applause and enthusi-
astic cheers. especially when he would
score good point on ''the Professor. "

quently declared that he was in favor ot
protective tariff for projections sake
that he had been opposed to the sub
treasury bil until nominated and thai
he had DENOUNCED Col. POLK for favor

having said if Mr.. Stroud was nominal

vote against Mr.. Stroud and for th,
