been deuged with dispatches from demo-
Gratis and republicans in that city urging
him to cancel one day of his Ohio dates
and speak in that city before the close of
the campaign, promising a special train
and all other facilities from Chicago to
Nashville, and back into Ohio.
one Of the most pressing of these let
ters came from Judge A. S. Collyar,
prominent lawyer of Nashville, and who
was a member of the confederate con
gress and which read In part: II am
a democrat, but a believer in a protec-
tive tariff With me. IL Is above all
