FULTON DEMOCRATS AWAKE.
An Enthusiastic Meeting Addressed by
Mcssrs. Caldwell and Arnett.

Fulton enjoyed her first political
meeting of the campaign last evening.
The meeting was held in Gchringcr's
Hall, which was well filled with an
audience that was quick and hearty in
response, showing that the Fulton Dem
ocratS were alive 10 the issues OF the
hour. and had their shoulders to the
wheel The meeting was called 10 order
by Henry Stein, who proposed Law
renee Heller for chairman. Mr.. Heller
very neatly performed the duties OF the
Office, and made some Introductory re-
marks, which were well wordcd and to
the point
Col. w. W. Arnctt was the first speak
er, and he opened his address by so
clearly outlining the Force bin and the
disastrous effects il would have upon
the country, rs to very per,cptibly
move his hearers, and they applauded
vigorously. After an eloquent and COM
prchcnSiyc summing up OF the tariff
question. Col. Arnctt was succeeded by
Hon. Alfred Caldwell, who threw such 4
series of pertinent and telling points
upon the screen that thc audience be-
came almost rc-awakcned. Mr.. Cald-
well pictured the workings of the tariff
as they applied to matters right here at
home. and the general recognition Of
the admirable argument was manifested
in more ways than one. Democrats Of
Fulton are fully awake.

made and published IN the Democratic
papers that hc had openly expressed
himself iu favor of mixed schools for
white and black children. The crowd
gathered. but the doors were not opened.
Maj. Gaines failed 10 show up. There
was no explanation. He simply broke
his engagement. The mixed school
statement made by him will Kill him
politically. His own sons said when
they heard it that If it were true they
would give up the fight and had two
counter aflidavitS made by parties who
Swore they did not hear him say il.
Later indiSputable evidence was pub
lshrd by the Democratic papers that he
did say 10. and the Gazette this morning
contained an informal challenge for the
Major ion his speech tonight % come
ont publicly and deny the statements
imputed TO him. His failure To appear
here tonight is looked upon as being oc
caSioucd by his unwillingneSS to meet
the issue. He dare not repeat his state

them. His defeat is as certain as any
thing can bc which has not yet occurred.
