competitor again maligns the mem
DRY of that grand old veteran
Geo. g. DibrelI, who has gone t.
his rich reward with no stain upoI
as fair character as ever blessed

"My competitor grows irritabl,
and peevish because he himselt
made record of enmity agains
the farmers of Tennessee, and
have dared to mention it. He
himself made the bed in which he
finds the cruel thorns. He says

charge that he said that the leader:

'yiler than the meanest reptiles

he bitterly denies it and says nc
respectable papers have charged
it. Fellow citizens, ! didn't orig

a newspaper in his own Congress

Leader, and here it is and / read it;
1.-The greatest trouble with Car
mack is that he talks too much
has always talked too much. The
Covington Leader resurrects a
speech at Covington during the
old Alliance days, when Popullsm
was in process of incubation, in
which he described the advocates
of free silver and fiat money as
being like mules, without pride of
ancestry or hope of posterity, and
denounced the leaders of the ALI
ance movement as 'viler than the
vilest reptile beneath the mud stills
of hell 1t is still fresh in the
minds of many how, in 1896, he
became one of the Tennessee lead
ers in that 'heretical' movement;
so is the vindIctive language he
aimed at Grover Cleveland. Still
fresher in the minds of the work
ingmen of the State is the scurril-
Gus and abusive language he used
concerning Mr.. Hearst. Nor have
the Bryan Democrats so soon for
gotten his abusive treatment of
and language to Mr.. Bryan in the
National Convention of 1904. And
some of the older voters remember
how eighteen years ago he was
pleading for personal liberty and
denouncing the temper

the Brownsville Graphic. | have
been repeatedly informed that he
did use such language-that he
used it in a speech in Tom Davis
grove near Lewisburg. He com

after it is denied and without proof.
These are the proofs and he has
not yet convinced many people of
The falsity of it. There is not a

abuse who does not recognize in
his at least a strong resemblance.
