a Largo Crowd Greeted Them Here Last
Tuesday.
Hon. B. A. Enloe and Col. r. P.
Cole spoke here Tuesday to large
and attentive audience.
Mr.. Enloe opened the discussion
with review of the work of Con-
gress while he has been member.
He referred to several important
measures which he has pushed to
final passage, and to others which
passed the House but are pigeon
holed in a Republican Senate.
He illustrated how the farmers
prosperity had been destroyed by
the protective tariff and trade re-
strictions enforced by the Repub-
licans against countries which buy
our surplus products. He showed
how preposterous it would be to at
tempt to restore prosperity until
the Republicans are dislodged from
power.
Mr., Enloe explained his position
upon all matters Of interest in cur
rent politics, and admonished Dem
ocrats to reunion in the party Of
our fathers and battle as brothers
in common cause for the relief
giving principles it alone proposed.
He placed himself squarely upon
the Democratic platform, and said
he would rise Or fall with the Dem.
ocratic, nominees.
Colonel Cole then followed in {
speech on matters relating to his
personal history and partyservices
He spoke of his service in the leg
islature and Of his professional pur
suits as aolawyer and railroad at
torney. He argued that he ha(
always been Democrat.
He did not take issue with MI
'Enloe on national questions, bu
! paid his respects to The CHRONICLE
: and the Nashville American.
The courthouse was filled wit
) people fromallparts of the county
