Editor Democrat-star.
Mr.. N. G.. Hath0rn, the Popullt(
candidate for congress from this dis
trict, made a speech at Handsboro, on
last Thursday night week. Anyone
not Knowing who, or what the speaker
was would naturally conclude on
nearing him that he was Il Republi-
can, or that he was making a mighty
bid for Republican, votes, and also for
sore-head StOckdale votes.
lie spoke in the highest terms Of
tue Republican party, asserting that
u was consistent, and had never made
any false promises probably this was
INSPIRED by the fact that there is no
republican candidate for congress in
inns district), and raked the Demo-
cratic party fore and aft, but alluded
70 C0l. S~tockdale Us that grand old
man. (This was inspired, no doubt,
under the impression That %dlsappoint-
ed Stockdale men would bolt the reg
ular ticket and vote for him. Great
head with a hat and a horn on it
But he Will find that he was talking
through his HAT, and was needed lin
a HORN" He viii continue in this
strain until he can hang his HAT on
one HORN Of a dilemma. Among
other things Mr.. llat-and-horn said
was, that he WAS opposed to aliens
owning land in this country and that
the government ought to take il away
from them and hold it for homestead
purposes only. Mr.. Hornhat didn't
say how the government was to ac-
compllsh this feat, probably he in
tends to reserve the information until
gets to congress (?:) and then spring
It,. lie no doubt has solved the prob
lem as to what Great Britain will do
when Uncle sam gets to ousting her
subjects from their property. Wonder
now the Austrians and other nation
%alitics, who Own land and have no
vote, BUT WHOHAvE INFLUENCE, will
like this part Of his discourse? His
speech was ingenious. however. and.
was well received by the majority of
the audience who were supporters of
Col. StockdaIc in the democratic pri.
mary, who, no doubt, feel a little sore
yet, but who, when they think the
matter over, will feel that they are
morally bound to support Hon. W. NJ.
DENNY. the nominee, and who will
not sacrifice their honor by violating
| solemn pledge.
A good deal Of talk has been in
iulged in about the ''big vote Hat
norm Is going to get at this box, but
t some of Col. Stockdale's prominent
supporters will go among the boys
say boys, don't Go it," instead of
aging, I'm going to vote for Denny,
nut I'm not taking any interest in
t." then llathorn's vote will be beau
less. Would it not be a wise
lct on the part Of Col. Stockdalc to
make a speech at Iiandsboro in the
interest OF the nominee? He might
$50 take in Biloxi while down here.
t Coz. Stockdale and his friends
you'd do this all over the district the
candidate would take his Hat
nd his horn and bow himself out into
he shades Of political oblivion.
MI Hath0rn WAS answered by
-ieut-Govern0r NJ. NJ. Evans, of Jack
county, whose speech was On a
Ugh plane OF argument. and was an !
pie defense of the administration ,
nd the democratic party and con-
luded with Il recapitulatiOn of differ.
