How will this-from the current Is
sue of HarPer's Keekly-read next
Monday morning:
I Parties, we are told, are dissolving,
and thee is immense dissatisfaction
upon all sides. The Republicans, too,
wehear, haze been culpable and reck-
less, and may thank themselves for the
uncertainty of their prospects. But it
is undeniable that the control of the
national government viii either remain
with the Republicans or pass to the
Democrats. There is no chance of a
third party, and the natural end of a
movement Of mere personal dissatis-
faction In that direction is shown
by the Liberal Convention" In
New York declining to nominate
candidates, and the nomination OF
Messrs. Dorsheimer, f. A Conkling,
Willis, and Hughes by the regular Tam
many Democratic Conventions. The
election IN Neuc York is n0sv of the ut
most importance as sign Of public feel
ING. The tendency totcdrd treshet Of
reaction has been distinctly Shoton at the
Vest. This Is perfectly understood IN
Nelo York. EUery Republican, UOter in
this State knolcs that # he does not ez-
eTt himself the Democratic party may
succeed. IL such should be the result,
it can not be said that the Republicans
did not fully understand the exigency,
and their defeat would have deplora-
bic significance.
We accept the test. Let next Tues
day tell the tale.

Man Is SAID 70 be a reasoning AMI
NAL, but this thing called human ia
ture is peculiar. When Tsmesseeans
were disfranchised they complained at
the hardship, but now that we enjoy
Democratic self-goyernment, a very
large proportion of voters are constant
absentees from the polls. Davidson
county numbers about 10000 voters.
The poll in the August election was
1928, showing several thousand alb
sentees. We ought to do better in No
vember. The interests at stake are
more important and far-reaching, af-
fecting the whole State, and necessa-
rily affecting with especial force apopa-
lous and wealthy county ike Davidson.
During the sweltering days of August
there were at least 500 business men
and pleasure seekers absent in the
North or at the springs With the
presence of these next Tuesday, we GER
tainly ought to poll a. fuller vote. 1t
is to be noted that nine-tenths of the
absentees are always Democrats or
Conservatives. Their absence is our
loss. The main duty of our nominees,
and of all who take interest in the
cause, is to draw out these reserves as
fully as possible. By doing so, the
success Of our entire ticket viii be
placed beyond the peradventure of a
doubt.
The interests at stake are such that
the people should be even more active
in this election than that of August.
In the latter none but ministerial Of
ficers were elected-oficers whose du-
ties are defined by law. We are now
to elect the Legislature which makes
the law. The policy of the entire State,
and, to some extent, the future ma
chinery of the counties, depend on the
result. The programme of economy
and retrenchment, to which the party
stands pledged, cannot be carried out
without affecting the autonomy of the
counties In large degree. Retrench-
ment cannot be effected without local
results. The capital county Of the
State is particularly interested. The
progress of reform must be prudent
and intelligent. The necessary func.
tons of government should not be i'm
paired in their efficiency. The case
calls for cool Judgment and a steady
hand. The Democracy is pledged TO
the task. Our candidates are named,
and in the field. Let the people stand
by them, and not run after mere Office
seekers pledged, to nothing, and ire
sponsible.

AT the late election in Arkansas, on
the constitutional question, the total
vote was 102,0 53, with Madison county
to hear from, where the vote is esti-
mated at 1000. In 1872 the total vote
was 8O,O96. The Little Rock Gazette
says:
The Republicans Lave elected but
two SenatOrs-Mr. Haycock, Of Jeffer-
son, and Williams, of Phillips. The
seat of the latter will be contested on
account Of frauds in the election.
There are thirty-One members of the
Senate. In the House the Republicans
viii have about ten members. This
body is composed of ninety members.
Such is the resultin Arkansas, in fair,
square contest, where ey ry qualified
elector was permitted to W 5e. By this
showing it will be seen how we have
been ground down heretofore by Clay
tonism. This result ought to be SUI
ficient 20 put at rest hereafter all ques-
tons as to what the people of Arkan-
sas desire.
The Republicans had majority of
forty on joint ballot in the last Legis-
lature.

WE MUsr rAN TIE RAILR0Ans

The Kingston Independent, Radical
journal. argues against taxing the sew
enty-odd millions of railroad property
in this State, on the ground that it
wou. d result in no relief to the people;
the railroads would SIMPLY add the tax
to their charges and collect it from
passengers and freight. Surprising
this were so, it should be remembered,
that more than one-third Of the coun-
ties In the Stete have no railroad facili-
ties whatever. Why should the lands
of these counties De taxed for the ben
eft Of more fortunate neighbors: Is
it not enough that they are already OBJ
iged to shoulder their quota of the
State debt and interest resulting main
ly from aiding railways? But the ar
gument Of the Independent proves alto
gether too much. By the same reason
ing, the Strife ought not to tax mer-
chants or privileges or even land itself,
lest the price of potatoes be enhanced.
Besides, we have a specific remedy
against extOrtiCns by railroads, while
the merchant may ask whatever he
pleases for his goods, the lawyer for his
services, aud the farmer for his pro-
duce; the charters OF railroads are linn
tied in express terms. The State has
done enough for the railroads. 1t is
their turn to help the State in her pre-
sent financial difficulties, brought
about mainly by her generosity toward
them.

In stating the position of MOsely,
Morgan and Norman, our candidates
for Senator, Floater, and county pro-
per, we speak by authority when we
we say that they are infavor of abiding
the will Of the people as may be ex-
pressed at the ballot box as to whom
they will support for United States
Senator. They pledge themselves to
support the aspirant Of the Demo-
cratic party who receives the most
votes on the day of election.-Shelby-
Uilie Commercial.
If the proper safeguards be placed
round the proposed primary election
for Federal Senator in Bedford county,
the result might very properly bind
Mr.. Morgan, who is a candidate for
Representative from that county alone
There seems to be no arrangement,
however, for such a primary election
in Rutherford county. As Mr.. Mosely
is running for State Senator to repre-
sent both counties, and Mr.. Norman as
Floater from both, the action of Bed
ford alone can hardly be conclusive as
to these two gentlemen, in view of
Rutherford's non action. So we go,
complicating matters that the law of
the land makes distinct, and sowing
the seeds for fresh contention.

DR.. J. c. AYER, the pill man, is the

Germ at Lowell, Mass, who recently de-
clined to continue their advertisement

ISLAND BY THE PARTY!l

Elk President johnson will tell you
in his sueech here to-day to stand by
the Constitutional cling to it as the
shipwrecked mariner clings to the last
plank mid the whelm and fury of the
storm. The advice is wise and good as
far as it goes. We say to you, friends
and fellow patriots, STAND BY THE
PARTY As has been demonstrated
time and again, during the past twelve
years, the Constitution, without a party
to watch over its integrity and preserve
inviolate Its provisions and safeguards,
is hardly worth the moldy and dust
cov red parchment upon which it was
originally written.

a wELL-KNowN Massachusetts Re-
publican, now in Washington, reports
a good deal of Generalization in the
party ranks in that State. The prohi-
bition platform is driving off thousands
of Republicans from the support of the
ticket in cities and towns where the L.
cense policy is favored. 1t is not
thought that the State ticket will be
lost, though a large reduction of the
usual Republican majority is conceded.
The opposition are very confident of
securing three, if not four, of the Con-
gressmen.

WE MUST NOT SPLIT.


The fierce rivalries now going on
among our distinguished leaders are
not doing our party any good, and we
hope the day is not far distant when
they will be hushed. We see no good
reason why the people should become
unduly excited by the aspirations of
our distinguished men, and we hope
that in the future, in view of the tre-
mendous issues which are looming up
before us, they will lay all their dis
sensions upon the altar of their coun-
try. This is no time for our party to
be torn asunder by the ambitions OF
men. Democrats must cease their wal
upon each other. God knows that 1t
will take all our resources to meet sue
cessfully the struggle Of 1876. Now
let us all make up our minds, no matter
whom the Legislature promotes, that
we viii abide by it cheerfully and
heartily.
