who had nursed Marse Cawge.
This largest crowd which ever greeted
public speaker In Huntsville turned
out to-day and heard Judge Clark.
Ho was introduced by Judge Nor
man G. Kittrell. Among tho things
he said; "Whero do you go TO find the
principles OF partyY Motto its can
didates; not TO tho street corners. or
politicians. When we como to exam
inc into tho principles Of party
whoro else can you go to but TO the
platform Of that party9 Where eau
you find the principles that James 3.

He considered II baseless doctrine for
men TO ondeayor TO make loss OF plat
forms, II was what a party must stand
upon and no loathed any one who ride
ouled them. He was willing for tho
people 70 mako n close examination
OF the platform he stood
upon OF that upon which
Hogg stood and would abb do by their
decision noxt November. He did not
stand with Hogg, Coke and that gang.
His business here to-day was TO show
the discrepancies between his platform
and their,

DoDGnSG CLARK MEN.
Hore Mr. Clark read tho declaration
OF the national platform upon the ques-
ton OF silver coinage and entered into
discussion Of It's merits. He explained
Il as ut other places, showing how
there was not a flaw In IL and then took
up .'the thing adopted at Houston"
as he called IL. The Houston platform
was drawn by one OF our senator's
and representatives In congress- He
was morally suro IL came Out
OF Senator Colte's nimble brain,
for, after tho convention ut Chicago,
Senator Coke forgetting his feRlty 70
his party, national and state, slapped
Democracy In the face by introducing
u similar bill In congress. The dobased
| silver dollar was moro odious 20 tho
| Democrats OF tho North and East than
tho force bill or protective tariff is 20
us. Much as tho subtreaaury plan dis

| than these wildcat banks for they do
mnnd a good, honest dollar any way.
They said we bolted. Bolted-was
any convention organized there ct tho
first meeting? No, and whom wo went
back the next day tho doors were bolt
ed upon us. Armed police acting un.

Hogg kept US out. And yet we boited.
The subject OF
BRASS COLLAR DEMOCRATS
was next taken up. Democrats noed
| no brass collars. Brass collars were
| for dogs. Dem Gratis thought for them
selves. They did not follow debased
silver dollars and graduated income
tax. When tho Hogg men can't Hay
anything else about us they yell

Tho Hogg men roll up their eyes
in holy horror at "C1arlf, Cuney and
the coons,p yet Coke once voted for

was going 10 vote for him lClhrkl.
| While tho colOred vote was unsought
