E WednS1day afternooI1s immediately on adjournment of the Democratic County Nominating Convention, the courthouse become resonant with democratic voices calling for Judge II. N. Hutton. The judge was present and responded promptly, and to the point, as he always does.
 His remarks are substantially given below:
 Mir. Chairman and Gentlemen of St. Francis County When this conven- tion adjourned a moment ago, flat tered myself that I had escaped this duty, and would not be called upon to talk. But 1 see now that was mis- taken; and in making you short im- promptu talk, feel it incumbent to first thank you for the confidence you have this day reposed in me.
 Lee, in which county is my home, joins St. Francis, and we have lived so long as joining sister counties that lllavs learned to love St. Francis county, us l do my own. Why should I not love her; was once a citizen of this county myself, and for many years have lived in close proximity to her borders, watching all her fortunes and inisfor. tunes, till a spontaneous fellow-feeling has grown and ripened into a feeling of deepest love.
 
 have heard you to-day discuss mat ters that are of the greatest importance and magnitude to the Democratic party and to the country. 1 need not dilate or elaborate on these matters to this audience, for see none before me but veterans in the cause of democracy, and who therefore. know all along this line that l could be able to tell them. But do wish to touch, with remark or two, on the subject of compromise. l came, some years ago, to this country from grand country. Middle Tennes- see, and with these noble people com menced to serve the Democratic party. and, though that was many years ago, l have never wearied in tho faithful service of the party yet. l found in this state tue same class of good demo- crats, and with them, I have been politically associated for long time. 1 have studied the principles of democ- racy closely; have watched the actions of the Democratic party with particular interest, and with minute observation; and declare to you to-day, that have found her principles right, and her actions fair and honorable. If this is true. fellow-citizens; if DEMOCRACY Is RIGHT, IT IS NOT THE sUBJEcT OF COMPROMISE. tGreat applause.l l have been lifelong democrat have been. and anu. always ready to answer my party's call to do any ser vice that in their wisdom may be for tho best, but have never known the time when thought it was necessary to bear truce for democracy. (pro- longed applanse.l
 In conclusion will say, that regard the counties of Lee and St. Francis. as having interests politically in,erwoven: that the misfurtuncs of the one, tn some extent, effect the other, and that the fortunes of the one, in the same degree, are shared by the other. On this account their citizens ever feel fraternal interest, and are Ut all times willing to help each other in the carry ing out of whatever k right. And assure you, that if Ut any time tho democracy of St. Francis county should decide to have external aid, call for Hutton, and he will k found ready to respond to the best of his ability. tGreat and prolonged applause,l The above k not precisely the Ian guage of Judge Hutton. but that of tho reporter, written from memory, and embodying his ideas substantially. These are his exact words, however. If democracy Is right, it is not the sul,- ject of compromise" which certainly i. the truth, and which ought not to be forgotten during this campaign.
