Mr. l'erdue's propositions were
taken up and completely dissected.
Judge Cate had not been speaking
more than twenty minutes before
he convinced the crowd that the
tariff was not a matter of minor
importance, but on the contrary
that it overshadowed all other
questions. He illustrated that a
reduction of tariff to a revenue
standard would bring our foreign
trade to our own state ports, where
our cotton, wheat and beef would
find exportation thus to a great
extent solving the question of
tariff and transportation at one
stroke, because by that system the
greatest portion of our transporta-
tion would be within the boundaries
of our state, where the railroads
are subject to the control of our
legislature, whereas under the
present system our products must
be transported two thousand miles
to the eastern seaboard, and all
the products of eastern factories,
weich we are forced by the tariff
to buy, are freighted the
same distance back and all this
transportation is over lines that
arc beyound the control of state
regulation and can only be regu-
lated bv the cumbrous machinery
of the general government. Jndge
Cate showed that Mr. Perduo was
acting in very bad faith by sup-
porting Marion Martin, who advo-
cated every measure which led to
the "squandering of the public
domain" which lie deplored so
much, and who did everything in
his power to defeat a Senate Bill

regulate and controll railroad

stand. Finance he handled after
thc old regulation greenback style.
! Transportation was his most im-
portant theme and he declared
himself in favor of Government
ownership of all means of trans-
portation. He told the people |
that they had paid for the roads:
suffrage arguments went the way
of all the others, like chaff before
an avalanche. Judge Cate's speech
was full of convincing argument
and was roundly applauded by the
Democrats and patiently listened
to by the members of the Union
Labor party.
At the conclusion of Judge Cate's
in subsidies, ctc., and they were speech Mr. Perdue again took the
paying for them in full every three i stand for his rejoinder of thirty
years again through extortionate ; minutes, in which he accomplished
freight and passenger charges, and
that the roads rightfully belonged
to them, but he neglected to ad-
vise them by what means to get
very little, the time being devoted
almost entirely to defensive ex-
planations. Having told thc peo-
ple in his opening speech that they
f their railroads, or had paid for the railroads and that
was for the most part : hameless
misrepresentations of fact, embel-
lished with the lurid creed of com-
munism. He was in favor of thc
confiscation of the railroads—pure
and simple confiscation was the
means he would adopt to get pos-
session of them. Ho read the
same garbled extracts from Sena-
tor Reagan's speech, which is in
common use among U. L. speakers,
j as evidence that the Democratic
party is pursuing the same finan-
cial policy of its Republican prede-
cessors. He asserted that the
railroads belonged to the people,
and lie made his statements about
congressional appropriations and
other matters without the slightest
regard for the truth.
When Rhodes had finished W.
R. McGill took the stand and
prefaced his remarks by stating
that this man Rhodes furnished
him with the first example in all
his experience of a man who was
so lost to honor and common de-
cency, and so brazen in his impu-
dence that he could stand up be-
fore an intelligent people in thc
light of day and teach his doctrines
of communism. Mr. McGill then
took up thc speech of Senator Rea-
gan and read extracts from it
which Rhodes had carefully avoid-
ed, in which the Senator com-
pletely contradicted every position
which Rhodes sought to prove.
Mr. McGill told him that he read
from Democratic speakers like the
infidel read from the bible, only
such parts as he could distort to
serve his purpose. At every point
in that thirty minutes rejoinder
Mr. McGill scored Rhodes without
mercy and the audience applauded
enthusiastically. Tn noticing
Rhodes' assertion that "we have
paid for the railroads," he in-
quired of him how much of the
tax money he had contributed to
pay for them, and stated that it
was reported that the last cow
owned by Rhodes had been levied
on for bis tax, and it was a com-
mon rumor that his neighbors in
Van Zandt county had been taking

as usual to appear. The truth is
Col. McGill has run his opponent
out of the field and ho is now
fighting out of pure good will for
the balance of the Democratic
nominees. The little Wren is not
the only one of the U. L. P.'s
afraid of our Bill. Bob Cain, with
all his boasting, has quit coming
to time when our Bill is expected.
But the brag champion of the U. L.
P.'s in Upshur, Mr. Perdue, their
candidate for the State senate,
turned up al Yantis on time and
entered the list against the De-
mocracy.
Col. McGill opened with an hours
speech reviewing the history of the
National Democracy, recounting its
splendid achievements in peace
and war, showing if to be the party
of the people and a bitter enemy
to the aggressions of corporations
and monopolies. The whole crazy
fabric of the Union Labor platform
fell before one blast, of Col. Mo-
Gill's bugle horn, and Mr. Perdue
was challenged to show where, in
a single instance, the Democracy
had failed in its duty to the people.
In the usual audacious, rickety
style of the Union Labor orators,
Mr. Perdue fiercely arraigned the
Democracy for nearly all the ills
of this life, saying about two words
in favor of the Bepublieans where
he saiil oiks for the Union Labor
party. Perdue is evidently a Yan-
kee from his brogue. His Radi-
calism was so transparent that Col.
McGill in his rejoinder told a fa-
mous nigger snake story wherein
a snake tried to swallow a nigger.
The snake did not succccd entirely,
hut still thai snake had more nigger
in him than a man with a chop-ax
would suppose. The boys saw thc
point and yelled themselves hoarse
with applau-e. In short Col. Mc-
Gill demolished the enemy horse,
foot and im'tillery, and vindicated
the Democracy from all their false
charges. i . r.lvic' was hacked,
chewed and spit out. Democracy
is on a firm fool ing in Yantis. Col.
McGill is doing valiant service for
the Democracy and should have
proper credit therefor, fie is fast
making the reputation of being one
of the leading Democratic orators
in Wood county.
