lncalculable harm. More iufamouE

The speaker then compared Grover
Cleveland to Moses on Pisgah's
heights, and Mcdowell and his men
as the demagogues who were trying
to get the people to forsake the God
of Israel. "We are going to win,"
said he. "New York has barred her
strong right arm and is fighting for
Democracy. Indiana is as safe as
Kentucky, and West Virginia, Con-
necticut and Illinois have joined the
great majority. But there are infa-
NOUS, scheming demagogues who
are trying to lead you astray. You
may yell for Buchanan, but you had
better stay at home, for there are no
Buchanan men anywhere else. Nc
DOWell has twisted the tail off o. the
Alliance tiger. Iscariot betrayed
the Savior for thirty pieces of silver,
and Mcdowell could not resist
$4,000. A Third party man is like
bird charmed by serpent. We
love the bird and want to extricate
it, but we want to take fence rail to
the snake. ] was not badly treated

not. He has a grievance, and a man
with grievance is not worth a con-
tincntal. In Wet Tennessee we are
putting the hayOnet to the Third par
ty fellows. In my Congressional
district Buchanan will not get 1900
votes. Turney will get 5000 more
votes than Winstead, Buchanan and
East put together. Turney will be
elected by greater majority than
any man since the war. Nine tenths
OF the Third party men will come
back before the election. If they
don't they will join with the Repub-
licans 10 their mournful chorus and
chant their tale of Woe"
The speaker related the story of
the heart Of Bruce, and said that he
would like to hurl the casket con-
tanning the doctrine of local self
government into the ranks OF the
Republican party and bid the Dem
ocratic hosts to rescue it. Col. Pat
erson made one of the ablest speech
@ ever delivered in Montgomery
county. He is an able and aggres-
sive champion Of Democracy. He is
clear, logical and graphic. He revel-
ed in the region of thought-thought
intense, profound, important. All
this is the secret of his power as an
orator. He doubtless did much good
by his visit to Montgomery county.
and TO him are due the thanks of a
large and appreciative band of loyal
Democrats.
At the close Of Mr.. Patterson's g
speech loud calls were made for
Mike Savage. This young Dem
ocratic standard-bearer stepped for
ward and made one of his earnest
and eloquent appeals for the straight
ticket. He did not talk long, but
what he said pierced the very hearts
OF his listeners and convinced them
that they were hopelessly lost if they
pursued the phantom shadows of
false gods. He concluded his re-
marks with sledge-hammer blows,
and his words had telling effect. He
is making some strong speeches In
this canvass and is doing much good
for Democracy.
