Daily tobacco leaf-chronicle. (Clarksville, Tenn.) 1890-1895, 1892-07-01

After the reports had been read
speeches were declared in order and
calls were made for Hon. ID. n. Ken
nedy. Mr.. Kennedy responded in
his usual happy style, making strong
ticks for straight Democracy. He
said that he used to be q Wing, and
at that time was fighting the Dem
ocratic party with as much force as
he could command. The Wing par
ty had died, and he was now Dem
ocrat and would fight the battles OF
the party as long as he had strength
to do so. He was for Judge Turney
for Governor and for Cleveland for
President, and he believed that both
would be elected. He was gratified
at the excellent reports that he chair
men of the ward committees had
made and he thought some steps
should be taken to see that every Tur-
ney man in the district came to the
polls and voted on to morrow. He
moved that the chairmen of the ward
committees be appointed commit
tee to see that they were there.
This was carried, and Dancy Fort,
r. II. PoindeXter and Bruce l.. Rice
were appointed committee to aid
them in the work. The roll was
called by wards and everybody
promised to do all in their power to
see that the entire vote is polled in
the primaries tomorrow.
When this work was completed
calls were made for M. Savage. Mr..
Savage responded promptly and told
the meeting that the reports from
the entire county were encouraging,
and that if every Buchanan man,
Third party man, Prohibitionist and
MugWump in the county went to the
polls and voted to morrow, Turney
would carry the county by at least
800 votes. He said that the actions
of the Buchanan men were really
amusing. When Chairman Burney
called the Democratic primaries they
patted him on the back and told him
that he was a good boy
that they always knew he was
gentlemen and would treat them
fairly. They went home, however,
and counted noses and then yelled
fraud. They saw they were beaten,
in point of votes and decided that
they would have nothing to do with
the primaries. They were called
pom by the chairman OF the eXecu-
tive committee to furnish names
from each district to put on the Buch-
anan tickets. This they fatty re-
fused to do and the chairman had to
make the list up as best he could.
After this is done they raise kick
and one man signs the names of
every Buchanan delegate to protest
and has it published denouncing the
action of the committee as outage
Gus. lie was confident that some OF
the delegates would repudiate this
action. Mr.. Savage made a good
talk and was loudly applauded.
At the close of Mr.. Savage's speech
Dr. Northiugton was called upon and
in one of his best efforts. |
He was given several rounds OF
hearty applause.
But for Capt. Crusman, however,
the best part of the meeting would |
have been lost. He said he would |
like to Lear from some of the young
men in the audience. This resulted |
in Daucy Fort and Bruce Rice each |
making speech. They spoke well
and fired tue audience more than the
old war horses, Their speeches were
pointed, we'll delivered and reflected
credit on both of them. The call was
like lightning from clear sky to
them, but they responded promptly
and covered themselves all over with
glory.
