Daily tobacco leaf-chronicle. (Clarksville, Tenn.) 1890-1895, 1892-11-02


necessary for an umbrella to be held
over him, the old giant of Democra.,
cy poured out volume OF eloquence
and sound logic that took root in the
minds of the multitude. He first
took up the tariff discussion and
showed the people how, under Re-
publican rule they had been robbed
of their hard-earned dollars by a
protective tariff system for tine bene-
fit Of manufacturers of the East. He
made strong speech along this line,
and then took up State affairs. His
subject in this direction was "Buch-
anan and why will you vote for
him." He showed that the admin
istration had been a failure from the
beginning, and gave reasons why the
Democratic party had seen tit in its
wisdom to nominate Judge Turney
for Governor. He spoke plainly on
this subject and was freely applauded
by the people who were listening to
him. He made great speech and
did the cause OF Democracy incalcu-
liable good, from the fact that he car
ried conviction with him. At the
close of the speech the speaker was
presented with handsome boquet,
by Bruce l.. Rice, from the good
ladies OF Rudolphtowp.
Hon. II. III. Buqao was introduced
as the next speaker of the day. The
Democratic orator from Erin was
never in better,trim and he has never
made better speech than the one on
this occasion. In fact competent
judges say it was one OF the best
speeches that has been made in the
county during the campaign. His
arraignment of the Republican party
for its unjust taxation, its attempt 10
pass the iniquitous force bill, its de-
mOnetization Of silver and its record
in various other respects was one of
the most severe that has been heard
during The campaign, and it put the
crowd to thinking. AS the speaker
progressed the crowd cheered until
every man, woman and child in the
audience had caught the enthusiasm,
and gave the speaker an ovation

ner in illustrating his points made
his position so plain that all could
understand him. He made an ex-
cellent speech and it certainly result.
cd in good for the straight ticket.
Dinner was announced at the close
of Mr.. Buquo's speech and better
dinner has not been seen anywhere
in the county during the campaign.
1t was dinner In all the term i'm
plies, consisting of good things
brought from homes in baskets and
plenty of nice barbecued lamb and
shoat, This part of the program was
under the direction of Ross
Bourne and DIR. Allen, assisted by
other good men Of the district. That
they made it a success none will dis
pute and they have the unqualified
thanks OF all who attended for the
part they played in the program.
One special feature was good hot cof-
fee which made the prohibitionists
present clap their hands and shout
for. Democracy. This coffee business
was all the work of Ross Bourne,
and shows that he has the good of the
country at heart.
After dinner Mike Savage was
intr oduced to the crowd and spoke
about forty-fve minutes. He made
a good speech and judging from the
way he was applauded he will get
the solid vote of that county. He
was at his best, and fired the audi
ence with enthusiasm for the straight
ticket. The people of Port Royal
and Sfcinity will frs scratch Mike
Savage. They will give him their
solid vote for they know he will
represent them ably aud honestly IN
the State Senate.
Joel b. Fort followed Mr.. Savage
and wound up the speaking Of the
day with one of his best speeches.
Mr.. Fort was on his native heath
and his words went straight to the
hearts of the people whom he
addressed. He spoke for nearly an
hour and made an excellent speech.
This closes the campaign in Mont
gomery county, practically, The
day was a great one for Democracy
and will have much TO do with the
people Of the vicinity as to
how they will cast their ballots
next Tuesday. They will go to thee
hai.ot box and cast their ballots for
the democratic nominees from Teve.
