We have been all along convinced that our
gallant Governor would come out of the
Wedderburn fasco with flying colors. And
now that he has shown himself the true
man, We hope the press of the State will
frown down any attempt to break down the
Conservative organization by maligning its
head. Some people delight in parading
themselves before the public witha chip on
their heads, daring everybody they meet to
knock it off, and we don't see why they
should not be left alone at their innocent

regarded as true on the ground that the dis
position Of the Spanish mountaineers who

reasonable to give it credit for broader

on the downward way to disorder and de-
prayity for o length Of time quite sufficient
to school them to very cruel acts. Take the
eases we know of in Cuba, for example, in

SIN Another Campaign story"

The Press and Herald of Friday
published what purports to be letter
from some one in the sixteenth dis
trict, addressed to his Dear Cousin"
in this city, announcing his renuncia-
ton of the Radicals" on account of
Hon. Horace Maynald's speech at
Thorn Grove. To show what little
truth this correspondent writes to his
4" dear cousin" he says;
1.-THE most absurd thing that took
place during the day was Sheriff Cos
sett rising after Maynard quit, and
stating TO the crowd that those were
his sentiments. / don't think he
knew what Maynard had said, or he
wouldn't have been fool enough ~
have said what he did"
Now, the truth Is, as at least one
hundred persons in Knoxville well
know, Sheriff Gossett was not at
Thorn Grove at all that day. He was
no nearer there than fifteen miles.
The letter was no doubt written I'm the
Press and Herald office, by one Of its
rowing, unreliable, irresponsible news
gatherers, and is only campaign
story.p

On the morning If the 2Sth, at 3 or 4
O'Clock two men named respectively
VIM. Puston and VIM. King, brought
in two prisoners, named a. Barlow
and John Thomas, aud had Them con-
fined in the Knoxville Jail until some
time in the forenoon, and from an &C
auaiutalIce of postcn aud King rs well
AS from the jailor we learned the fol
lowing particulars ~ tn the cause Of
the arrest:
Yesterday one week ago a youth was
seen vending his way towards Ebene
ger, stating that he was going tu work
on a railroad aud stopped at the house
of one of the prisoners above mention
ed aud got something to eat, for which
he paid % cents. Shortly after the
boy left the house. Barlow and
Thomas, under the plea that the money
was counterfeit, started after the boy,
and came up with him in the neighbour
hood of Ebenezer, and started back
with him. The boy was seen in their
company crying aud begging to be re
leased, and was last seen in their com
pany going through All old field, the
two men being armed with sticks.
This was the last time the boy was
seen or heard ".
One OF the men was afterwards seen
with some Of the boys clothing, and
suspicion Of foul play was at once
aroused in the minds of many OF the
neighbOrs, especially as the char
acter of the two men Is any.

near the Lonas farm, aud Thomas near

| him A warrant was sworn out for
these parties, aud on Monday night
! the arrest was made, and search be

was found in the possession of one oil

the boy had worn, while the prisoners
claimed to have no knowledge OF the
boys whereabouts. They claimed that
the boy gave them his clothing and the
shoes, VERY reasonablesstory, indeed,
and that they had not seen him since
The boy was seen with them on Tues
day evening, as before stated, aud that
night, it is said, shrieks were heard IN

over the entire matter.

Another Campaign Story

The Press and HerdLd's report OF
the meeting IN the 2lst civil district on
Thursday was of the same character as
that at Thorn Grove on the oath,
which, by the way, Mr.. Ledgerwood
has admitted to have been false, to a
county candidate. The Press and
Herald, it should be known, has none
of its own reporters present at any of
these meetings. 1t relies for its reports
upon some one of the struggling fell
lows who are paid by the Democratic
candidates to go about the county TO do
their dirty work.
If necessary, we couldiprove by the
certificates of every disinterested per-
son present that its report of the speak
ing at Spangler's Church was in every
material point false. But we have not
time to waste in such discussions. We
merely desire to point out briefly the
numerous cases of these false reports to
show the public how utterly unrelia'
BILE and INSCRIPTIONS the Press ana
Herald is. A paper whose editor open
~ admits that he published false
hood for campaign story" deserves
the unenviable reputation it now en-
lows.

One hundred and thirty voters met
Tuesday at Hunters School House, IN

tary.
Senator David Richards, Thos. A. r.
Nelson, and A. J. Kicks, ESD, address

about two hours and a quarter, and the
meeting dispersed in excellent spirits
and with the promise of good Re-
publican majority next Thursday.
