Tbe two latter quitted the train upon its arrival here, and a little afterwatd began the opening debate of tbe campaign, Capt. lis E. Douglass introducing tnem to an audience of about 250 voters. The Hon. Zarb Taj lor. Mr. Taylor began by Having that two years ago tue Republican party placed him in nomination for Con gress, ine nominauon was rat, lied by toe people at Ine ba!lot box. Now tbat he bad served his fellow citizens be congratulated himself upon tbe feet tbat his conduct htd not been condemned. Certainly, wben the in terested leaders of tbe bemocrncy did not find weik Bpo!s in Lis armor, he felt ju tified in icgatdiiu it es tolerably gnod. He taid tho Republi can party had nothing to fear from an examination of its record. AViien it came, into power it found tho Treas ury depleted aud tbe governmeLt's boads dppraciaied. Two years ago, when tha Deixocrats assumed con trol, the bonds tanned far above par and there was a heavy burpliuinthe Treasury. Ho alluded tj lh growth of the country dundg the past qunner of a cen'ury m dm in a mesanreto wis admiui.-t:ation cf natioral aflaiis. Hedtlirtd the (iilloreDt iileas whit'b an imated the two parties. The Democrats always held a btritt, iron bound con struction of the constitution and claim that the naiioual govrnment po. ses (es only those powers expte.-sly and clearly delegated to it in tbat instru ment, while tbe Republicans, in com mon with some of the founders of our government, believed that tbe constit ution was made for tbe country and not the country for the constitution. Id consequetctj of tbia broader, widai view, the Republican patty believed in internal improvements, in widening and deepening rivers and in educating tbe people. TbeWbigs adopted tbislat ter view, while most of the people in this section of country dated into tho narrow view ol tbe Democratic party. Mr. Taylor intimated that the differ ence between lhe industiial position of the Noitb end 8 iu'h was due to the different views he st by tbe two teo tions in regard to the proper methed of CONSTRUING THB CONSriTDTION, and tbat the railway sye terns of the Aorta and ner large manufacturing in etitutions weie ii d.rectly tbe results of tbe looter methods of construction prevalent n that section. The South, at the beginning ol tue late civil war, bad no factoiies, no lailroeds and no pub lio improvemects aud, of course, in that struggle ou) ooe resu t could follow, tier people did not bulieve in fistering enterfrme in the direction of maDUldctuniig and the k udred ar s Mr. Tavlor declared bimeelf in favor of the toriff views maintained by the Kepubl.can party, because tbey not only protecied our people and their capital, but because it brings a higher scalu of wages to the Ameiican workinyman. Tbe Democrats have always c ontended for free trade, lie dweit upon the epecial need for pro tection at tit a day, wben the booth was attempting tj develop bor vust scores ot natural - wealth, but added thaf, in spite of tbis incei.tive, the tendeney cf tbe Democratic party had always ' been toward free trade. For twenty vears, iu their platforms and rpeeckes, the Democrats have Deen telimg us wbat tbey expected to do acd wbat teforois tbey expected to muke so soon as tbey come into power. They promised to reform the tariff and tj collect only enougn revenue to deli ay tbe ex penses ot the country, which would b couomicauy aominiatered. tie called era to account. His competitor, be umletstood, bad taid he would have vutid for the Morrison bll h d he been in CoDgrrs?. Mr. Taylor sa d said tbat this bill, wt,ich was intro duccd in tbe icteiest cf free trade, was deleated, thanks to the co-opera1 tion of a few protection Democrats. Wben tho bill was Dendine in Corgrees the British Minister came to the diplomatic gallery and encouragi d its advocates, me Morrison bill, be sa;d, was deeigoed for tbe benefit c f British tree traders. It took someartt nlan r t eninov imnA.l.nM . , 1, Hat UVD v. u,.uv. tuiuvi mui VIA IUD I1D', believing that persons now interested in tbe maintenance of customs duties on those artic es would not oppoee a further encroachment upon the list, Tbe Democrats intended to give tbe country an economical government. yet daring their first year the expenses of the government were increased 25,GO0,0UO. The good wotk is still eoingon. Ihree deficiency calls have been sent to Congress by heads of de- oattmen's of tbs government, and tbe financial affairs of the country are in a worte state than when tbe IRA 0 ECONOMY began. The civil service ref irm pledge proved equally visionary. In practice, ' . i i) ..Ll; . 1 i ... it reiuriueu jv-uununus uui nuu iriu- ocrats io. He commented at Bime length uron tb9 i umlierof Dew ofliceB cteated during the eiogle yer ol Dem ocratic rule, Baying they tar exceeded those cl any previous vear in the his to-y of tbe countiy. It wss intended to lekabiii'ate the navy, yet when the Re publican Senate appropriated S6.000, tlCO for that purpoee. tue Democratic Houst i u' down the figures to f 3,500, 0C0. Ia spite of their promiocs, tbe Demncra'sdo not want to build up a navy, neither do they inteod to pro vide adequate aeienees lor tbe conn trv. Tutv make ere at promises to the laborina peopln, but what have the wvrking'iien rfceived? Nothing bnt glrikep, bloodshed and aesesinations have followed, and for the first time in the history of 'our country tho ted fltg of atarchy and socialism has waved clove the stars and stripes. A revered li adcr c f the Democratic pa:ty, foreseeing; the labor troubles which would follow bueinees deprorsion.suggested a policy of s rengthening our const defences, a work nf great magnitude, wbicu would luruisu enipioymeoi to a vatr. numlx-r of workingmen, but bis voice was disregaraeu oy tue party leaaors. BARD HONEY. Mr. Tavlor then to k up the Demo cratic position on the financial con duct of the Democratic administration, which is now attempting todry npthe res-urces of the people by making a single standard. This would enhance tbe value ot money, in comparison with other representatives of wealth, make debts harder to pay and make tha rich grow richer while . the poor btcame poorer. Tbe Demo crats, after charging the Repub licans with maintaining a large reserve idle in the Tressiuv. are -guilty of the same fanlt, and that, too, on a greater scale, tney were guilty of positive neglect of duty in nt ap plying it to tie reoucuonoitne public t"ebt. Mr. Taylor then toot up the B air bill. There are in Shelby county alone 30,000 childi en who rever look .INTO A SCHOOL DO IS. The school year iu this ciuntry is 160 days, aiid lhe public rthcols have only about 5000 pupil; yet, in face cf these facts, which should appeal to every thinking man, tte Democtats do not uvor in is ir at eoucnuonai measure. The people of tkis Congres sional district should vote tbe Ke publican ticket and thus aid in blotting out Ignorance. Mr. Taylor spoke at some length on tbis sub ject and then closed with an appeal for the parity of lhe ballot box. Men who will not lorge cnecks and who will not break into a bank Bhouldnot com mit tbe greater crime of tstapering wiih tbe ballot, ah our laws ema nate from THE BALLOT noi. It is not so heinous a crimo. there- fote, to violate a law as it is to pervert the ccutse of influences which are 10 shops themselves into la as. This is a ciime for which a dreadlul retribution is provided. It leads to other crimes, and tends to a destrmtiou of Ameri can institutions Already in M Rsis sippi, so Mr. Taylor i informed, ana believes, they have progressed front stealing elections to Healing nom inations. Afttr a really eloquent trib ute to the sanctity of the ha lot box Mr. Taylor closel and Mr. 1'lielan took the stand. Mr. lla Douglas introducsd the speaker with a few remarks. Mr Jnuies Vhelnu'a Iteply. Mr. Thelan began by ayirg te wished, first of all, to correct a fnw false impressions which his opponent's addrers might have left in ttie minds of hrs heaierc. Tbe c n'tst between bimeelf aud his opponent is one of ideas a warfaie of principles anl of politicsl beliefs. Upon these mm will differ, and may differ hones:ly. The speaker is a Democrat. The span of bis Hie has been snort, out ait mere is in his being, all that ho has in berittd.all that be imbiberl from wha be has read, ana itom wuat ne nas seen and learneu, mane inn a Dmccra He appreciated the hnnnr be bad received at the bands cf his party, and be trusted that by the exercise ol ins tkst endeavors, he might prove in a measure woitby of it. Returning to tho address juet dnlivered by his opponent, in which the two great POLITICAL PARTIES were arrayed against each other, he said: In order to examine into the nuture of tbose tbnga which shall bs we must look into those things which have been. The stream is but a con tinuation of its source, la all its corns the bread liver bears traces of tlirt influences prevailing at its loan taiuhead. The history of the Repnb lican party biats out tbe simile. Whatever of eood has been in the mission of tbe Republican party has been accomplished'. It has seen i s day. Tbe very fundamental idea of the par;y was tbe violation not only of the spirit but the letter of the con- aii'ution. Since its organization great things have besn conceived and con- summat d. . THIS POLITICAL PAKTY I may be iiRonea to ine convuiemun cf tbose violent .forces of nature which are called inrd equisittou oaly on rara cccas'ons. tt cauiu ieve have grown up Into power excepting durtDga great upheaval (if political forces, it may no useneu, wiuiuut impiety, to the flood, which cl old time devastated the earlh. But when the floods came the ark floated out on the sui face of the waters and perpet uated the race of mmkind upon the face of the globe.. The crest D moi rat c party is the srk in which, durinir all the violent convulsions attending the birlh and career of tbe Republican party, was pieeerved to the people the prin ciple of good government. There is no ciime wrought againB'. ine popular will in AmeiiCAU which had not its origin in THB REPUBLICAN PABTY. As you aU know, lima are two antag- on,s.:C tneories regarumit imv io the proper method of adminiE- ti.r.no- the Bovernment nf our country one represented by the Dem ocratic and the other by the Ropubli- r-an mrtv. Tbe Rflrulilictn idea is that cf a strone central government, According to tbia idea the govornment is like an octopus zieat and power ful in the center, and sending cut its tnnfacleB to crush and al sorb ell wilh initsrepch. A governmental poucy actuated by tbis idea holds iu con tempt the const tution iramsu ior ine protection of tbe cit aens of the land, and is characterize! by a lack of replied for the wisdom and Inmnioht of our forefathers, whose ex nnriflnce mcfzestad and created safe- Duarca ur oar we mre. uuuor iud . ,, T ' 1 .

Tbe Democracy constitute a party whose central idea is tbat ot ren govtroment by tbe people. Tbe Democratic party protects uuu has always protee'ea the in dividual and the community which is an aggregation cf individu als- from the encroaenments cu mm centralized powrr. A term often sp plied to a man who was in himself thotougniy represemauvo m iuo eu liticsl faith to whicn he belonged may well b used in connection with thu Repuhi can party. He man on hrrseba k'Ms a flttirg emblem ol th Republican party. It is a party oi KOHCI AND VIOLESC'K, wboee i- variable prclice it is to over ride and t ample down all barriers which cannot be otherwise overcome. As Thadde.'H rVtevers (lid not hesitate to declare, on uu ccMtion whjn pnrly success demanded questionable meas ures: 'At all bezrtrda t.ur cwj-ci iuu be sustained.' And this has been the rulii g idea of the Republican party, hitb, alter the civil war, euipiuyeu a 1 tbe orgauizjd forces oi tne government, so that a free expreesiou oi tne win vi " people could not be given.

Grant, for two terms, was Prpnident. and one of the Republican ladders. Senator lira', arose in hia place and sa'd be conld nnt deny that tha shameful tracks of bribery and nrrnntion lad straight to bia door then read tha letter on tbe parity of OCTOBER 7, 1886. tbe ballot box, about which my oppo nent speaks so much in the etorv of the election of 1176, and reflect that Hayes, the greatest fraud of all, rewarded every one who aided him in the swindle, from John Sherman down to the lowest member of the Returning Board; or Garfield, as a man in private walks ol life, nothing ill cm be said, and of the d-l nothing ill should bespoken, but a3 an apxtlo of purity he was tadly deficient-there are too many chatgns to leave it a matter cf douh. tbat tbe STAIN OK TUB TABTY clung to him as it had to his pieiltc?e gors; and last of all came Aithur, placed in the Preeident'al cbair by ec cident, whose cllicial record in con nection with civil tervice reform was so foal tbat it was lepudiated even by so rank a fraud as Rutherford B. Hayes. Then, lost to all sense cf de cency, in 1 134 they chose for their candidate that most statesman-like sham, the meanest, moil despicable one of them all, James G. Blaine, of whom it may be said, as it wai of Bacon, that he was "the brightest, wit tiest, meanest of uankiud." But they bad gone too far. All the respectable element within the party felt outraged, and the great political cabai was broken by the very vices which bad kept it in power so long, and which it believed were invincible. It had gone too far. Tbe American peo ple are too noh'e to rermit such a msn to enter the White House. Tbe Republican party have com mitted evry possible crime avalii't the people. 'Since the days of Nero aud theCVaarstlicra has been noeuch record. We must, however, give them credit for not a litt'e found political sens. They evtry row and then go oubsidn of their own partv linoi to get some thing fresh and tempting to place before the people, ju t as they did two years a.'o, when they nominated my opponent, Mr. Taylor. Mr. l'helan then began to BHYIKW TUB ADDRKHS delivered by Mr. Taylor. Owing ta many ciicnmttanccj the line of tie markation between, the two political parties was not so closely drawn as it might bo. Cjrcerningtue main prin ciples, as s'ated in tho earlier portion of bis address, there could be nodouht, but owing to the immense size of the countiy and the many conflicting in Uresis wnich had weight in different sections, both patties were divided within themselves on questions pertaining to the details of leg islation. The position of Pri si dent Cleveland on tbe silver bill, for example, is not in (coord with the v ews of all the Democratic mem bers of the Houso. The Republicans, too, are divided ou this and other questions. It mult be remembered that these are new quretions which are now in prccistof disjuision, and upon which publio opinion has not had time to crystnlize. He would mention, however, that a Democrat introduced tbe free coinage bill into the loweriouse. If the Republican party bad been in FAVOB OF FRItB COIN AC! B they had an opportunity for passing tbe bill, but ninety-one voted against it. The question is still in the in- ciptency ot discussion; it is not now a pressing question oi importance iu a pattv sense, ss some would have youlieliove. As the national btnk notes are retireu irom year vu yot, the Issue grows mote and more im portant, and ia the meantime the char wine of correct public opinion rises to tbe surface as the fermenting proceBi cf diicnB?ion goes on. wnen flu nnnminn becomes an active issue the political parties will b prepared to deal with if. Concerning the t k about the turplus in the Treasury r.n,. Dunn nratic cartv hes not been in ituwtrlui g enough to cany out and complete the extravagant contracts made ny ineliepuoiicaiis. vruen iiirss ero disposed oi it win tie reaoy to buu mit the results of ltHftewanlship. Unwished next to up a nties tion upou which bis opponent had de vtvud much time the question of nrntectioo. it is the custom of Republicans to smiak of protection bo as to coofusa the peup'o and produce wronn in-pret-sion. It was a question which .n ipl tion 't walk miles to hear. The t ifl jaws certainly need revision, s he won'd e ideavor to show by po'niiiig nut iraiifest dnciminations. . lio then reviewed tli customs duties on a Inner list of article.', end closed by saying tbat tho prot'Cion bills of the past bad boan passed not so much in the interest of the American media- ic and working man ss for the bene fit cf capitalists in certain sec tions of the country. The froutb is now beginning to g-t a Utile berellt from it. Another question upon wh ch grett stress was laid by his opponent wai the uistr mil. ire tavoreu mo principal undetlyii g tbis bill, but the Republicans had incorporated so many clauses that the principle ol Federal aid io education was lost sight of In the party questions involved. It was a KBNKWAL OF THB OLD FKIIir on a new fiald. If the bill as origi nally placed before Conareas had been accepted by tbe Republicans it would have passed. But tbey desired, In the linn nf the Tjolicv of the Dartv. to reack out and assume con1 rol of local insti tutions, which policy wai repugnant to Democratic principles. A compro mise, or lather a substitute, for tbe itlair bill proposed to give the pro ceeds of sales of public lands to the States for school purpoies. The speaker read a letter from the geaeral land office, giving data which lod to a belief thBt the proceeds from this eource would equal if not exceed tbe amount to be disbursed nndor the Blair bill. lie spoke at some length of tbe giant LAND OBANTS of tbe past, made by Republicans to railroads to bs built through uninhab ited sections ol the country,, and con- trm.ti.d tha nolicv of the two names in his regard, lhe public scnoois oi T.ntiHSHce and several other wtaies wara founded with money obtained t.hrnuffti Democratic influences irom tho sules of public lands. Mr. l'helan, in hia diecmsion Ol both tue tariff enrl thn nnfwtion of pnb lio sid to education, quoted frnm authorities to show the position occupied by the Djmocrt;c party. He deprecated exlromo views, and favored that moderate courte wnicu ne ibh nn sured would bring b:st results to the Minntrv. His address was well re ceived, and at its conclusion tbe meal ing adjourned. We differ iu creed and politico, but we are a unit all the same on the de-Blrahlnne-is of a fine head of hair.
