A TRIAL WITHOUT ANY INDICT-
MRNT

The Nashville secret caucus OF malcon-
tents, taking advantage Of the personal
canvass of Ex-President johnson, invoke
on the Tennessee Dem ocracy the same ig-
nominjous fate that overwhelmed Brown
lowism few years ago. What has the
Democracy done to deserve any such
treatment at the hands of Tennesseeans5
These marplots would put it on trial with
out bringing against it one single specific
charge, because they know that none such
could be sustained before an intelligent
people. Has the Democratic aaministra-
ton been too extrayagant' of expenditures
or has it been too penurious9 Has it run
ahead of the wishes of the people in re-
establishing our State credit, which was
swamped by Brownlowism; or has 1t been
too slow for the people? For the sake oil
restoring our credit, has it levied taxes too
heavy, or b as it left taxes too lights Has
it run ahead of popular sentiment on the
question Of general education, or has it
been lsggard? Has its railroad policy
burdened or relieved the people2 These
questions of taxes, and what is to be done
with the public funds, are the vital, practi-
cal and pressing issues with the tax payers
and sill others interested in the future well
fare and good name of our State. Where
in has the Democracy failed Of its high
trusts? Has it not been, in the manage
ment of these important and unavoidable
practical questions, the party of the people?
Has it done any will but theirsP What has
| it done that should invoke this unreason-
ing clamor to bury it like Brownlowism as
a noisome thingP What are the chargesf
Where is the bill of Indictment? What
are the specifications? Let US take pr2c.
teal, common-sense, business view Of our
interests. Let us beware Of change when
there's no prospect or even easy promise Of
an improvement on the present. The ''inde-
pendents" offer us in exchange absolutely
nothing for the danger Of Radical rule be
ing restored.

A sNARE AND HOW TO GET QUE
OF 1T.


With Horace Greeley, lifelong aboli-
ZIONIST as the Democratic candidate for
President, with Andrew johnson rum
ming against the Democracy for the first
time before or since the war, and scatter
ing independents" figuring on the pos
sibilities of chaos-we need not be surprised
at finding here and there simple minded
Democrat who is puzzled by the mixed
conditions of things. Mr.. Johnson's per-
sonal candidacy has given our chronic NAL
contents just the opportunity they wanted
for developing all their capacities for ere
ating confusion, and the Radicals are on
tip-toe expecting 10 reap all the benefit. But
there is one clear way out Of the snSrl !:
Vote the straight ticket vote for every
name from top to bottom. Do this, and
the way Is clear. Our enemies will be dis
appointed and false friends COMPOUNDED. 1t is
the only plan on which the people can unite
from one end of the Statet to the other. 1t is
the only pIsn for securing that local self
government which the Democracy assures
US. Vote the straight ticket straight
through, and all is well.

A CORRESPONDENT Of the Banner, who
''has 10 vote in Tennessee" argues after
this fashion: "SecessioR was either right
or wrong, expedient or inexpedient." But
as secession was wrong, because the result
proved it inexpedient, therefore we ought
to vote for Mr.. Johnson. Suppose we ap-
ply the same argument to Maynard.
Wouldn't vote for him be as good soon
tession of crime" as vote for Mr.. john
son?
Ii we must support Mr. johnson be-
cause he was Union, wouldn't the same
argument compel us to vote for Brownlow
himself? Is that whittier the Banner tend

THE Banner yesterday published the ad-

In that address Mr.. Allen says:
"In spite of the frauds perpetrated, we
have carried Indiana, reduced the vote
greatly in Ohio, and lost Pennsylvania only
by startling corruption. The future is full
Of promise. Georgia proclaims In her great
majority that the suffering Southern States,
In their desire for equal rights before the
law, win give 125 electoral votes to Horace
Greeley"
Mr.. Allen does not seem to thinks solid
South will hurt Mr.. Greeley, or that the
large majority in Georgia will do injury to
the cHuse In the North. He speaks of 1t as
matter of pride and encouragement. He
and the Bonner do not seem to look through
the same spectacles. o.
