and political preferment their po
sitions bring them. Speaking of thu
Subtreasury, he thought the scheme
was to convert the county into ont
gigantic warehouse. One corner Wal
to be at Woodlawn, one at Palmyra
one at Betsytown and the other one
about Port Royal. He thought, how
ever that this had ali about faller
through, as he heard nothing of il
now from Third party orators. Col
House further discussed the questions
involved in the national contest and
closed his speech with an eloquent
appeal to his hearers to support the
ID amocratic nominees.
Hon. Ernest Pillow, Of Marshall
county, was the next speaker, and he
made one of the best speeches
of the campaign. He told
his hearers that he had come
into the county at the suggestion Of
the executive committee. He began
by paying an eloquent and feeling
tribute to Montgomery county and
her sons who have made their State
famous in the days that are gone,
When but boy he represented his
county in the Legislature, He was
proud tosay that he voted for an hon
ored son Of Montgomery county for
United States Senator, as long as his
name was before that body, and had
the contest continued until now he
believed he would have still been
casting his vote for Jas. j, Bailey.
He had stood entranced by the
matchlesss eloquence of Gustsvus A,
tienry, the Eagle Orator. of Ten
nessee for hours, and he remembered
that this great man had claimed
Montgomery county for his home.
| When boy, too small to be noticed,
he had listened to Democratic truths
eloquently proclaimed by Hon. Jno.

had heard them again from the same
lips, as true and eloquent as ever.

Bob Taylor. He is a born campaign.

work for his party. He made fine

told his hearers that he had just been
defeated in his district for Congress
in primaries, by Hon. Jas. ID. Rich
ardson. He did not feel that he had
been GLADLY treated" and that he
would lie the first man in his county
to cast his vote for the nominee. He
admonished all people to vote the
Democratic ticket from end to end,
and closed his speech amid tremen'
dous applause.
After Mr.. Pillow had taken his
seat, calls were made for Mike Saw.

few minutes, as The hour was late,
and he was suffering from hoarsness
brought on by his Robertson county

with the people in that part of the
county and will get the full vote"
The day was great one for De.
