A Nut To Crack

Hcreis (i nut for Miohigan greenbsokon to crack. ). H. Kandall, a leading grccnb.ick'cr, was sent to Alabama ia coinpany with Gen. Wcaver, to Btump the state just bcforo the recent election. At Kisor HUI, at a barbneue, a joint disenssion bctween the greenbaokers and the deinocrats was agreed upoo. The detnocrats led off in the discussion, and the speaker who was moet applaudcd, auiongst other blatant rebel utterances, used the following language : "The coniederacy still exists,my r'ricnds, íiml Jefl 3tti) the ïyi --i Crtpn I bad, h yet our president and devoted to mir intcre6ts, and it" Hancock is alected, and wa have no doubt he will be, you will be paid for all the property you have lost throngb radical rule, and you must stand by the great democratie party, for a solid snutli will now givn Ui cutiré control of the general govermont, and we can redn u all our wrougs." After he was through speaking Randa 11 roso to reply, when notue one in the crowd called out, " we don't want any Yankee to como here to talk to us. We had botter shut him up. " After some disturbance llandall began to spoak and proceeded for a few minutes when a brass band began to play. The demócrata pretended that they could not stop it, and they continued to play until he was compelled to út down. This band came from a neighboring village called Shubuda, to which place llandall went after tho meeting to take a train. He was mobbed on the street and swornatand told that hc ought to be killed. A welldressed man, not one of the lower class, walkcd up to him and banded him a note whioh read as fbllows : August 1, 1880. Daar Sir : We will give you anú your pard tliirty-five minutes to piok up yonr ouda and get out of the town. Youis to death. Tuk Hoïs oi' Bvübcda.. Mr. Randall turncd to the crowd and af.kid theui why a poaoeful man could not wait in tln-ir town till the next train, and was told that he was " a white man with a black heart come down to drive the demo oratie party," and that hc must "get." Wnile he was buyinp his ticket a orowd came up and said if he over came therc again thcy would " Cx" him. This is not the tostimony of arepublican but of a leader of a party which the democrats are trying to persuade to unite with theineclvee. Mr. llandall also says that though two greenbackors were appointed to be present when the votes were counted, they were not allowed to bo there, and on commenting on the state of affairs he says : " The fart is.while deuiocrats as a rule do not approve of this conduct, yet all those. 'juüty of it are democrats, and they want no meetings but democratie meetings, no rule but democratie rule, and prefcr that evcrythinjr else should keep out of the country. The eftect of this rule is to corrupt public sentiment, stultify the feelings of mtinhood and humanity. and to get men iHingling in local and state as well as national politics, in such a condition, with the feeling that they are boni rulers, with nothing in the way of fraud, dishonesty, bulldoziog, or even ruurder, that they cannot be brought to commlt and Justify in the courts to earry their point to retain ]olitical a8ccndency in the south. A solid south and the election of Hancock nieans ostracism and destruction of Ilie iiulependent and greenback parties in the south, as woll as the republicnn party, and no votes to be counted opposed to Bourbon laws, Bourbon udministrations, and county ring rule." This is democratie fruit. How do you the taste of it?
