JOHN II. BRIGHT.
His Speech Friday Night Was a
Masterpiece.
A Powerful and InTincible Prcsenta'
lion of Democratic Principles.
His Audience Reused to Wild Enthusi
asIn by HIS Brilliant Rhetoric and
Convincing Argument.

The al lrcsS of Hon. John NJ.
Bright, of Fayetteville, in She Circuit
Court room Ffiuay mig ut was the most
complete and logical presentation OF
Democratic principles that has been
made here during the present cam
peigD.
Tue audience chamber wa7 filled
with members of the Maury Coun;v
Democratic cluO and Others. who had
been attracted thiJher by the fame of
/ the orator.
Mr.. Bright has past his three score
years and ten by more than n hall
/ decade, but the years have not bent
his form or dimmed his powers.
Erect and alert wi h vigorous
strength manifest in every tone and
motion. his very presence commands
attention and respect which increases
to admiration as he rises to the de-
mauds of his subject.
Mr.. Bright has been in public life
for the last fifty years aud speaks
from the fulnes4 OF ripe experience.
The contemporary of Hon. w. &.
Whitthorne in Congress, he was
notable figure for many years in the
House.
In his speech, history, logic,
rhetoric, delivery, confessed willing
obedience to an earnest, capable mas
ter. The best that history says to a
free people, still loving liberty and
worthy TO be free and prosperous i,
found IN the record of the Demo
cratic party, and no where else; and
the lesson was presented in a way to
carry conviction to every honest
listener, and to inspire with hope
every real lover of his country.
One after another, the parties now
seeking commissions from the people
were reviewed, and what the people
may expect from each of these was
shown in tie records already made.
This comparison o. party histories
and political principles was made In
a manner that only such master eau
use, convincing every mind open to
truth ard yet wounding no honest
man.
Equally fore BILE and gratifying was
his presentation of the Democratic
candidates, Cleveland, Stevenson and
Turney. These names, so familiar to
us all, were presented by one who
knows them better, and listeners who
had been following these standard
bearers through faith, felt now the
right to say 81 see, and, in eeeing, re-
jOice."
I We were glad that we had beeh
faithful, proud more than ever of our
leaders, and determined to follow the
speakers advice, by discharging the
duty which so imPeratively calls for
every true man -''vOte for your
country's good"

ABASE COMBINATION
The situation as Seen by a SterIin
Democrat.

Democrat.
EDITOR HERALD A duty that
every Southern mau owes to himself,
his family ana the land OF his ma
tivity is % see that the leaders OF the
Third party do not fell him into
the bondage of the Republican party.
When the voters of the Third party
are asked by their leaders to vote in
the interest of the Third party, they
should reflect that TO comply direct
" or indirectly would violate every
principle of political honor.
The platform of the Republican
party and Third party are as d!sslml-
laf as it is possible for two political
creeds 10 be, and for men who have
claimed all their lives to be true
Democrats to now Iurn and aid in
any way to maze Republican pTinci-
plies effective, would be shameful
qualification and abandonment OF
principe.
Every reform advocated by the
Third party has been and II no"
strongly opposed by the Republican
party, and there is no grievance com
pIaIned of by the Third party that
reclIy to the Republican party.
Iheu, l ask them IN the name Oi
honor, that is il they appreciate
honor, have they 70 far fOrgOtt II
Themselves as TO vote directly Ur in
directly against their prOfessed inter
est. No man of ordinary intelli-
gence can fail to see the cOmbina-
ion between the Republicans and
Third party leaders and their respec-
tive followers. We owe it TO our
selves and the country to defeat these
conspiratOrs in political corruption
and dishOnOr.
The money that is now in the hands
of the managers of the Third party
and the Republicans in this State,
and which is being used to carry into
effect the infamous contract, by
bribery and corruption, CONES from
the same source the treasury of the
Republican National Com aittre.
Tue question Is, can Tennessee be
bought? Can enough of the rank and
file OF the people be bought to enable
the leaders of the Third party to carry
out their infamous contract TO deliver
the vote of this State TO the Republi-
can party on the Sth of November
There are honest men in this county
who are now acting with the Third
party who, If they knew the truth,
would blush with shame at the paTI
they are now taking.
But they will not believe the truth,
though one should come from the
grave and tell it. And yet the evil
Qence printed in the daily press is OF
such convincing / ature that no res-
sOnable man can doubt its truth. II
they do not believe it, it is because
they wilfully shut their eyes and say
they canDOt see. In the event, which
we are glad to say is not probable,
that Tennessee should give her vote
TO Harrison by reason OF the success
OF the base combination we have
mentioned, no man, who being a
Democrat heretofore, assisted TO
bring about the result will ever be
able to clear his name aud character
from the stencil of treason to his State
and people which will rest upon him
forever.

Being Drawn Over the Goals.

The entire police force, regular and
special, were kept busy all day and
late into the night Saturday. Circus
day crowds are always hard to han
die but this was an unusually tough
one. Numerous arrests were made
aud the docket of the city court is
crowded this morning with defend
ants charged with crimes and misde-
meanOrs, including all the grades
from theft to plain drunks. Whiskey
mingles with it all, aud to its door,
as much to the natural depravity,
may be laid the quarreling and
fighting and cursihg and disorderly
conduct Tor which it's victims are
called on to answer this morning.
Among those upon whom Judge
Erwin is called to sit in judgment,
are two circus meu-JOhn Clark, who
claims 10 be a ring master, and Mr..
G. Irwin, who says he is master Of
transportation. They are charged
with drunkenness and disOrderly
conduct. Wade Smith, colOred, is
another arrested for drunkenness,
which seems to be chronic with him.
A States warrant will be issued
against Frank Hart the pick-Pocket,
whose arrest was described in Sat
urdays HERALD.

DEMOCRATS SPEAK AT TIMMONS.
The Stronghold of the PopuIites stormed
and Carried.

and Carried.
Col. \. y. Cox, Hon. w. J. Whit
thorne, John Moore, Jr., James y.
Smissr, ard J. e. VoOrhies spoke at
the TimmOns school house in the
Twentieth district Saturday night, to
a crowd COMPOSED largely of POpu-
lites. r. S. Williams, of Lost letter"
nOtOriety, teaches in the house, and
it is the native heath and stamping
ground of "BrO. WiIherspOOn." The
Democratic orators therefore found
themselves in the midst of the worst
nest of POpulites in this county, and
perhaps in the State, and the blows
they dealt the Third party went di-
rectIy home.
Mr.. Moore spoke first. His address
was carefully prepared, clear, logical
and convincing, and was listened to
with strict attention.
Messrs. WhitthOrne, VOORHEES, and
Smiser, each dealt with political
phases which their personal knowl-
edge of their auditors taught them
would be most effective.
Col. Cox scored some strong points
against his opponent, WHherspOOn,
aud against Williams, SLOWING his
audience the base alliance that these
men had made with the Republicans.
Col. Cox was subjected TO running
fire of questions, when he answered
one after another and turned against
the questiOners to fine effect. The
straight Democrats ia the crowd were
encouraged and the POpulites and
Republicans utterly discomtitted.

A Brave Democrat.

Mr.. w. G Parrot, telegraph line
repairer, of LynnNille, is Cleveland
Democrat who has the courage of his
convictions, The Democrats of
Lynnville had unfurled Cleveland
flag from the top of a slender pole SO
feet high. EnviOus and sneaking
Republicans had cut the rope and LET
it down. 1t was necessary for some
one to go up to the top of the pole be-
fore the flag could be fastened again.
This Mr.. PARROT volunteered to do
and accomplished. The pole was so
small that he could not use the spurs
which are generally brought into
service, and he was compelled to en-
ploy hands and knees in ascent. The
pole swayed under his weight and
endangered bis life, but he reached
the top, fastened the flag and, sliding
down with the end of the cord in his
mouth, reached the ground in safety,
where he took off his hat and Joined
in three cheers and tiger for Cleve-
land. He received deserved ovation
from the crowd.

1t Bids Fair to Equal Amy Mineral Water
known.
Mr.. David Cooper had him a well
bored recently in his yard which,
perhaps, will prove when analysed,
to be one of the most valuable wells
of water in the Union. When the
water was reached it spurted out of
the top of the well, then receded,
remaining a depth of forty feet of
water. The water, when first drawn,
is as clear as crystal and is so strong
of sulpher that it is very bitter
When placed in a bottle, corked and
let set for a while, the bottom of the
bottle will be covered with white
settings and the water will have q
yellowish color. The well is seventy
five feet deep, eighteen inches of
dirt and the rest is solid rock. We
congratulate Mr.. &. on finding this
valuable stream of water and may it
prove a well of healing to all who
may be so fortunate as to drink of
it's limpid waters. Mr.. and Mrs.
Cooper say the water has greatly
benefited them already, the latter
being a victim to dyspepsia, says it
has almost, if not entirely, cured her.
