Federaliss had Jerred the State, that they count
ed upon the election of only one Democrat, though an
other district might have been considered doubtful

monster, and another such blow will crush IT. nlllng,
as il would, with force enough TO break down oil the
Clay Gibbs which could be raised to protect it.
R.soiued That the good old North State, and her
daughter, Tennessee, should not be oveIlooked-both
having elected majority Of Democratic members Of
Congress; and they have best wishes, that they
may in 1914, be found on the side of the Democracy
in the great cause which be decided between the
good, old-iashioned Jetfersonan ID mocracy and the
old fashioned John Adams Federalism with It's alas OF
