desired to name the secretary that he
had been using, and Mr.. j. X. Watkins,
OF Whitley county. was made the dis.

mittees not being ready to report, con-
veution adjourned till o'clock. At 3
o'clock the bell called the people to the
courthouse, where Willie A. Morrow
republican elector, made speech as a
republican delegate-at-la large for the
State. II il wasn't for taking up 80 much
space | would like to give you synop-
sis OF his remarks, but after letter OF
this length, will try TO cut it short. He
paid tribute to A. T.. Stevenson when
he said he fired 5000 republican post
masters; said again that il he were a
democrat he would be something, which
the democrats present were ready to adj
init, and went further aud said that the
present democratic platform in substance
declared that the Southern Confederacy
was right. The bloody shirt was waved

ply.
After Billy got through, John ID.
White WAS called on TO address the
crowd and he did it as a kicker all the
way through. He said that neither dem
ocrats nor republicans had the courage
to attempt to do away with the internal
revenue system, because it supported SC

was for tariff, but not for an internal
revenue tariff on tobacco any more thar
he was for one on corn. The Hon. Johr
ID. was for arepeal of the tax on liquor
and made a splendid prohibition speech
knocked Willie Morrow out on severa
points aud was cheered as much or more
than the previous speaker.
