Northeast of Knoxville at the inter
section of the two great trunk lines,
the East Tennessee, Virginia and
Georgia, and the Charleston, Gin

at the termini of the East Tennes-

EDITOR IRWIN AT CAIRO.
A Brilliant Young Democrat Knocks
His Arguments All to Pieces.

CAIRO, Ca, Aug. 2S.-Editor Irwin OF
the Southern Alliance Fdrnles- spoke in
Cairo last night to an audience consisting
OF about fifty third partyites and about $50
democrats. The third party leaders refused
to divide time with the democrats and Mr..
Irwin indulRed in some desultory and scat-
tering harangue for an hour and half.
The leading features of his speech was the
advocacy of the sub-treasury and land loan
schemes and government owner
ship of railroads, and denunciation
of the Democratic party In general His
remarks elicited but little enthusiasm from
his followers, judging from the scant ap-
plause accorded him.
At the conclusion Of his remarks he and a
few Of his most ardent followers retired
from the hall, although urged to remain
and listen to some sound democratic doc
trine.
s. A. Roddenbery, Jr., upon being called
for, took the floor. and proceeded to demol-
ish the unstable edifice erected by the
fallaoous arguments Of Mr.. Irwin.
Mr.. Roddenbery is one of the democratic
nominees for representative from this
county, and. although quite young man,
being but % years Of age, ranks among the
most eloquent and logical speakers Of the
Second district, and is doing good service
for the Democratic party in this section. not
hesitating to encounter the disciples OF Tom
Watson on any aud all occasions.

NEW York, Aug. 2S.-The medical

Is only once chance in 1000 of cholera be-
ing brought into this country by passengers
on any Of the ocean steamships. The dan
ger, Dr. Edison says, lies wholly In the in
PRODUCTION Of the bacilli In freight, espe-
cially in rags, and the doctor is frank
enough to say that he rather expects to see
some isolated cases of 1t developed by that
agency. Yet he believes and so do the
health authorities. that the disease cannot
become epidemic. Preparation is every
thing. and 1t Is believed that at all the sea-
ports thorough preparations are already
going on. The health officers here have
sent q physician, who Ia also a scientist, to
Hamburg In order 10 make thorough study
OF the disease, and IL In his judgment IL is
necessary he is authorized to cable informa-
ton co the local authorities. The quaran-
tine commissioner says that consuls at all
the European ports have been instructed 10
keep the United States government thor
oughly informed.
In this city special precautions are taken
to secure cleanliness. The districts in which
filthy conditions most prevail are 70 be
thoroughly secured and cleaused next week.
Every steamship and sailing vessel Wnlch
arrives from a foreign port is TO be thor
oughly disinfected with sulphur smoke and
with steam heated TO 2l2'. DIR. Edison is
inclined to think that greater danger than
is possible TO exist at seaports may be found
TO exist on the Canadian border, but even
there ample precautions will be taken by
the state and government authorities. At
the bureau OF epidemic diseases reliance Is
placed upon the weather itself, for within

BRUNscN, S. c., Aug. 2s.-The candi-
dates for congress from the Second district
spoke here yesterday, Hon. George d. Till
man and Col. w. j. Talbert being present.
Aldrich and CASTOR did not attend. The
| fight in this county will practically be be-
tween TiIlman and Talbers with chances In
favor of Tillman. There were about 800
persons present, most of whom being for
TiIlman The audience was attentive and
undemonstrative.
Mr.. Talbert was the first speaker He
spoke for an hour; stated he was running
as an allianceman, and advocated tks3 SUBJ
treasury scheme and other alliance doc
trine. He denounced the article which ap-
peared In the Augusta Chronicle in which
il was intimated that be was third party-
ite. He was particularly severe I'm his de-
nunolation of the state press styled the
NelUs and Courier as "Old Granny" who
could not tell the truth II it tried, and that
the county papers we're little 1eas yelping
in the trail of the big dogs.
"Uncle George" Tillman was the next
speaker He commenced by saying he was
making this race as @. d. Tfllman, and
democrat, and was not hanging on the coat
tails OF Ben Tillman or Sheppard, and
would ride his own horse, and not get there
in the alliance band wagon. He went into
an elaborate explanation OF che tariff, pens
sions, and other national issues. He said
some people believed that the state governs
ment was 10 blame for the depression now
existing, but they were never more mis-
taken. He declared that the trouble was
with the national government, the differ
ence being compared as dime to a gold
eagle. The chief drain was the pension
system. Some one in the audience inter-
rupted him at this point and asked why he
did not try and remedy this matter. my
