Facts Worth Remembering.

According to Mr.. Schenck, the Radi-
cal Chairman of the Committee Of
Ways and Means, of the Radical Con-
gress, the public expenditures for the
fiscal year ending June 80, 1868, were
79.17S,066.S3.
This is what we have to pay for Radi-
calism.
The whole expenses of the Govern
ment during the last year of President
Buchanan's administration, 1901, were
S6O,S4S,774.72.
This is what we had to pay for De-
mocracy.
The balance in .faror of the corrupt,
lavish, and wasteful Democracy" as
compared with strictly economical
Radical adm inistration, is the little sun
of $3lS,329, 292.l1.

Ma,Iry County,

= The Nashville Union 0nd Imericon
has the following about the progress Of
the canvass in Maury county:
a friend who returned yesterday
from visit to the good old county of
Maury, brings most gratifying news as
to the work being done in that locality
for the cause of Democracy. He says,
in every part of the county the sup
pOrters of Seymour and Blair are work
ing with commcndable and untiring in
dustry. On Saturday last he attended a
rousing meeting of colored Democrats
at Cullcoka, and had the pleasure OF see
ing the organization Ola large Seymour
and Blair Club, consisting entirely of
colored men. Stirring and convincing
speeches were made by Joe Williams,
of this city, and others, and everybody
present seemed well pleased with what
was said and done.

The Radical Presiding.

A cotemporary remarks that if Radi-
cal editors desired the people should
really know the condition Of our ma
tional finances they would hasten to lay
before their readers so important doc
unent as that of Mr.. Delmar. AS the
case stands leading Radical organs,
though profuse in their abuse of Del
mar, have failed to publish his state
ment. If Radical editors did not place
party interest above the public welfare
they would aesist tire people in arriving
at an understanding of the true tinar-
cial situation. AS il; is they not only
refuse to contribute their aid in that di-
rection, but mystify, garble and conceal
as much as possible.

Nelson's Appointments.

Brownlow's why, Of Wednesday,
contains a list of appointments for Col.
Nelson, the Radical candidate for Elec-
tor for the Second District-commenc-
ing at Loudon on the 18th, and extend
ing to the mountains and covering the
territory along the Kentucky border
generally. Since Clementson admins
tered that dose of black hawes to Dave,
the latter seems disposed to let his light
shine in the remoter and more obscure
portions of the District-whither the
Democratic Elector is respectfully in
vited to accompany him. AS our paper
has but limited circulation in the dark
and benighted regions alluded to, we
omit the publication of the appoint

Mob Law in Kansas,

The Kansas City Times of the 26tl

mob in ''loyal Kansas" on the night
of the 2lst inst. Kansas ought to be re-
gardcd as a very good State to cmigratc
to. With drought, grasshoppers, horse
thieves, robbers and mobs, that State i.

is said to have done:
Last Monday night, near Mound
City. Kansas. a drove of cattle number.
ing about fifty head, was deliberately
butchered by mob of two hundred
men. We did not learn the name of the
owner of these cattle. but he assured
our informant that every steer i'll the LOT
was from southern Kansas, and that
there was not a Texas steer among them
The mob surrounded his herd, took the
herdsmen prisoners, and then common.

After all was over the herdsmen were
released and the mob dispersed. ...

From WaShin rtOn,

A Washington writer says: Politics
absolutely absorb everything here
Nothing is talked Of but the political
situation, and the opinion in regard to
the success of either party. of course,
greatly depends on the political bias of
the individual expressing it, but as a
dispassionate "lookcr-on here in Wen
na," have no hcsitancy in saying, from
the best data possible to obtain, that Il
reasonable hope may be entertained OF
Democratic success in November, and
if the legitimate material at the COM
mand Of the Democracy is judiciously
used between now and then, that hope
may be placed beyond the shadow Of Il
doubt.

The meeting last night was the great

was joined by the delegation from the
adjoining counties, it extended 10 miles
