TIE MEANING OF THURSDAYS VICTORY.

The decidedly large majorities given fol
the Republican county ticket in Knox
county in Thursdays election is the sub
iect of general comment. The result was
beyond question surprise to the Democ-
racy, and the very unusual majorities as
found them. The result has dumbfounded
their party leaders, and one and all admit
they can not understand it.
There are some reasons for this decided
expression of public opinion that ought
not to be overlooked. The Democracy of
Tennessee, since their restoration to pow
er, have been extremely yindictive and
short-sighted in their legislation and pub
lie policy. They have disregarded the in
terests of the people, have legislated for
rings, have outraged all ideas of fair
ness and justice and shown themselves
bitter partisans unworthy of the trusts
committed to them. This policy has been
characteristic in State and county mat
tiers. The machinery of the party in this
county has fallen into the hands of men
who use it for their own selfish purposes.
They have loaded the party down with
strikers not entitled to public confidence
and support. These influences had their
result Then the vote was full one and
when the people turn out and vote their
sentiments, Knox county is Republican
by decided majority. This demonstra-
ton OF public opinion should have its
weight, and the leaders Of the Knoxville
ring who have their connection with the
iunta at Nashville, should understand that
their will is not omnipotent and that the
people do not nod at their winking. The
Union people of Knox county well remem-
Der the party that without reason legislat-
ed ThOrnburgh out of office to satisfy
the greed of a place hunter
They well remember the leaders that gerry
wandered Maynard's Congressional Dis
trict to defeat him, solely to crafty the
hatred of disappointed, unworthy rivals
who dared not meet him upon their merits
before an. honest voting public. To salts
fy their malice they robbed East Tennessee
Of a member of Congress and placed the
growing industrial. interests of the coal
and iron counties of this section into the
keeping of a free trade, bitter Democratic
majority across the mountains. We might
enumerate other glazing outrages of Ten
nessee Democracy to explain the meaning
of our glorious victory, but we have given
enough to show that Thursdays vote has
its proper significance and was intended as
singing rebuke to these corrupt and sell
fish party leaders.
