PROBABLY CARMACk'S
 GREATEST SPEECH.

Senator Carmaek, who Was shot down on the streets of Nash vile recently, was ole of the country's most eloquent men. When he was first elected to con- gress twelve years ago, his cleo ton was contested by Josiah Pat terson, father of the present gov ernor of Tennessee. Mr. Car mack argued his own case and won out before the House. His address on that occasion won for him the title of 'The Young Mar Eloquent, and was pro- nounced by Speaker Reed one of the greatest efforts ever made in that body. In closing his speech Mr. Carmack said:
 Il speak, sir, for ny native state. for my native south. It is q land that has known sorrows; a land that has broken the ashen crust and moistened 1t with her tears; a land scared and riven by the plowshare of war and bil- lowed with the graves of her dead; but a land of legend, a land of song, land of hallowed and heroic memories.
