Daily tobacco leaf-chronicle. (Clarksville, Tenn.) 1890-1895, 1892-10-10


Democracy has acquired every inch
of territory that this government
has.
Jefferson's inaugural address IN
1901 is TO the political world what
the sermon on the mount is to the
religious. 1t will cost ten thousand
million dollars to buy all the rail-
roads and telegraph lines, ten tunes
more than the war cost. "Where
will you get the money!"
Pensions are all right, if honest,
but when it comes to paying fellows
who caught cold, under Sherman,
from sleeping under one blanket in
stead of two, he was against it and
against paying the fellow for injury
received by stumping his toe running
+ from Bull Run.
The Alliance puts an axe in the
hands of Democrats to cut
the grand old party tree. The
man who hands it to me /
will spit in his face. "Woodman,
splre that tree" etc.
Gen. Bate closed amid great APP
plause, the cannon booming and the
band playing "Dixie."
"Our Joe" then introduced our dis
tinguished townsman, Hon. M. Saw
, age, nominee for State Senator.
Mr.. Savage came forward and
said that after the able and lengthy
, speech of Gen. Bate, and it was near
the hour for dinner, he would be
! brief. Just then he desired to make
+, their acquaintance and say to them
, that he was a candidate for State Sem
o ator, and promised, if elected, to be
faithful to the trust reposed in him.
(The applause OF the large crowd GER
= tainly convinced him that his nomi-
p nation met their hearty approval)
q He said the battle was between the
two great parties, the greatest con-
o fiict ever waged in this country.
: 1t was not the third, fourth or fifth
party, it was to be victory for one
/. of the old parties. Wealthy capital
:, lists and manufacturers desired sue
;. cess for the Republican party. The
. masses of the people, the working
q men, the laborer, the farmer and the
: merchant were interested the success
;, of the glorious old Democratic party
The main issues of the campaign
% were force bill and tariff. But he die
:, not have TO deal with these ques
NJ tions. Matters concerning the STATE
of Tennessee would demand his at
tention. Two years ago j. p. Buch
- anan was elected Governor by thu
Il Democratic party, and had made
~ him what he was. He had proven
~ himself failure, and drawn arouno
10 him set of disgruntled men, whom
80 pure Democrats cannot endorse
;, Buchanan is now an independen
,, candidate against the grand old herr
; and statesman, Hon. Peter Turney
:, Buchanan has no chance OF an elec
ton, and all his followers hope is t
-, defeat Turney and elect Winstead
:, He closed his brief speech with al
49, - eloquent appeal to all to stand by tn
- - Democratic party and not follow al
:. - ter such as Weaver, Mrs. Lease
:, :, Buchanan, Mcdowell and j. b. Al

Gen. J. M. Quarles and Hoi
J. w. Gaines made few brief r

ato marked attention.

NY evidenced thorough knowledge
