BLACKBURN VERY BITTER.

-
Iivered at greensboro.
Greensboro, KY, Oct. Ex-senator Black
burn spoke here this afternoon in answer
to Secretary Carlisle's speech on Monday.
Mr.. Blackburn was extremely bitter in
his remarks. He quoted Mr. Carlisle as
saying that "ifty-three times as much
silver had been coined since 1878 as in
the SO years before that date" The
stenographic report of Mr. Carlisle s
speech said dollars" instead of silver &"
but Mr.. Blackburn read it SILVER and
said: IT declare this statement is not
true. The man who uttered it did not
tell the truth. The man that uttered it
did not try to tell the truth.
OF all the falsehoods that
were ever perpetrated upon mankind
the meanest, the most cowardly, the
most dastardly and the most contemplate
is by the men who tell part of the truth
and suppress the balance in order to
mislead and deceive the people,"
Mr.. Blackburn also said that Mr.. Car
Isle says the present silver dollar is
only worth 30 cents. THAT is not true"
said Mr.. Blackburn, land it is lucky for
him that it is not true. For If he told
the truth instead of being at the head Of
the treasury department he ought to be
IN the penitentiary as a counterfeiter of
the money of his country"

Mr.. Hoffman is wrong in his supposltion
that after the transfer OF the Seaboard

that the Louisville and Nashville will give

Brunswick, Ga, Oct. S.-The city regis

coming municipal race does not promise
much of a fight The registration will be

Mack Maxwell a colored citizen, we'll
known and liked, died yesterday from hy-
drophobia. His death was awful and
pitiful. Several weeks ago he was play
ing with pet bull dog and In fun gave
it a slap in the face. The dog was in
furiated and sprang upon hts master, Bit
ing him severely. That afternoon the dog
showed unmistakable signs of madness,
and was killed. Maxwelps wounds healed,
but after ten days signs of illness APP
peared. Evidences Of an acute case of hy-
drophobia followed and for days, he was
tied to his bed, growing, swapping and
snarling at every one.
1t is very evident that the people of
Brunswick are against another gubernato-
rial election at this juncture. 1 have
sounded the public well within the past
twenty-four hours and expressions of
opinion, except in the cases of one or two
politicians favorable to Gov. Atkinson be-
ing senator, are against another cam
paign. There does not seem to be much
fear entertained as to the result in a con-
test between democrats and populists, but
far seeing ones look with apprehension at
the growing danger of a white republican
party in this state. The opportunity for
the republicans to get foothold at this
juncture is one not to be treated lightly,
according to those who look into the fu-
ture. The masses of the people, however,
are thinking of what 1t would cost the
state in actual cash to conduct another
campaign.
