sUMNER's COMING nan.

A Fountain Head, Sumner county,
correspondent sends us the following
sketch of Capt. W. G. Pond, who was
nominated for Representative, at Gal
latin, last Monday:
He is a prosperous dry goods mer-
chant. When the late war broke out,
he left his family, his business, his
home, his all, for the cause of the
South and entered the army as LIST
Lieutenant in Capt. Turner's company,
30th Tennessee regiment. He bore a
brave part in the gallant defense of
Ft. Donaldson, was subsequently pro-
moted to the rank of captain and serv-
ed until the surrender.
Returning home, he did not sit down
to mourn uselessly for the lost cause,
nor bewail his own shattered fortune;
but, like a genuine philosopher, he re-
conoiled himself, as best he could, to
his fate, and resumed his old vocation,
with a view peculiarly characteristic of
himself. His efforts have been crowned
with that degree of success which is
sure to attend the well-directed efforts
of a shrewd, energetic, industrious
business man. Such is the candidate
whom old Sumner proposes to elect as
her Representative on the first Thurs
day In November.

THE skullduggery by which Snyder
was swindled out of the nomination in
the Third Congressional district, and
Nelson foisted upon the convention as
the Republican standard bearer, pro-
vokes this indignant criticism from the
Chattanooga Times:
We are not going to stir the disgust
ing mess again. 1t is fresh in the mind
of every citizen of this city. The bra
zen fraud of the chairman, the dirty in.
trigues of the delegates, and where in
trigue would not suffice, the use of
brute force and villainous violations of
all law, and all rules of decency,
all promptings Of honor. Had the
men who planned and executed the
defeat of Snyder, in last Thursdays
Convention, stolen a sheep, robbed a
till, or burned building, their moral
ofense would have been respectable by
comparison. No means were neglected,
however low no trick was left untried,
however rascally; no slander was too
vile u be perpetrated by the Repubi-
Can organ and its whippers-in.
And the man who was nominated
under these disgraceful circumstances
is the candidate Dibrell has to beat. It
will be as easy as rolling off a log.

II
FAYETTEVILLE, Sept. s, 1S74.-In
1881 or 1882, the National Republi-
can" party cast off that name and took
unto itself that of "Whig." Hugh
Lawson White was not a candidate for
President until the year 1886. During
that year and until after the election
in November, 1856, his supporters in
Tennessee claimed that he was better
Democrat than Martin Van Buren,, the
Democratic candidate. The friends
and supporters Of Judge White in Ten
nessee did not adopt the name of Wing
nor claim to be a part and parcel of
the Wing party of the country
Legislature of 1887. During that ses-
sion William E. Anderson, of David
son, avowed in the Senate that the
friends Of Judge White in Tennessee
were Wings, and belonged to the Wing
party of the United States. Judge
10. G.. Guild, in his recent communica-
ton In the UNION AND AMERICAN says:
But thirteen of the old line Democrats
were returned in 1885 to the Legisla.
ture in both Houses, viz: Nicholson, of
Maury; Turney, of Franklin; Moore, of
Lincoln; Ridley, Of Warren; Crockett,
of Rutherford; johnson, of Green, and
myself, of Sumner, and six others"
do not know by what test Judge Guild
decided who were old line Democrats,
returned TO the Legislature of 1885.
If those only who voted against
the nomination of Hugh L. White,
for President, two of the names
designated by Judge Guild, must be
stricken from the list Nicholson, of
Maury, and johnson, of Greene for
both Of these gentlemen voted for
Judge Whites nomination.
NV conviction and better recollection
is, that those returned were Senators
Wm. Trousdale, of Sumner VIM.
Moore, of Lincoln, and Boiling Gordon,
of Hickman, and Representatives AL
len Caldwell, of Overton; B. L. Ridley
and WoOdsOn Northcutt, of Warren;
Hop. L. Turney and Wallace Estill, of
Franklin; Henry Robertson and Geo.
W. JCnes, of Lincoln; Thomas Daven-
port, Of Lawrence; West H. Hum
phreys, of Fayette; George Smith, of
Dickson, and Jo.C Guild, of Sumner,
and Granville S. Crockett, of Ruther-
fOrd-three Senators and twelve Rep
resentatiyes-in all, fifteen old line
Democrats, as determined by the test
above.
l do not know who contributed the
funds to establish the Nashville Union,
but l do know that early in the year
1886, l subscribed for the prospective
Union, paid for it IN advance, and have
continued a subscriber to it ever since
under its different names and phases.
When the Legislature, of which / was
a member, met in Nashville on the first
Monday IN October, 1885, the Union
was an established institution, and had
been from the 30th of March of that
year, with M. A. Long as publisher,
and S. H. Laughlin as editor.

The Representatives, who voted
against the nomination Of Judge White,

SHELBYvILLE, Sept. 10.-The oonven-
ton to nominate Democratic candidate
for Congress from this, the Fifth district,
assembled here at Il NJ, to-day. All the
counties, consisting Of Bedford, Coffee,
Franklin, Lincoln, Marshall, Moore and
Rutherford, were fully represented, and it
soon became evident that 4 very lively
fight was ahead.
After adopting the two-thirds rule, bal
loting commenced and continued up to the
time of sending this dispatch-1O P. NJ
when the fifty-sixth ballot was taken and
stood as follows: Bright, 81; Palmer, As;
Martin, u; Tolley, 10. Whole number of
votes cast, 127; necessary to a choice,

The friends of both Bright and Palmer
are confident, but for the present, at least,
the contest seems one of endurance, as the
convention will probably make an all night
thing of it.
Even if Bright should ultimately get all
of Martins and Tolley's vote, he would
still need So votes TO secure the nOmiRa-

and as his flock is numerous and two of
them are boys, he has anything but sine

wicked years, enfieed his younger brother,
who has only had ten years experience in
boyish deyiltry, to 90 out on the river in a
boat, species Of pastIme which their faith

But the boys went this time, trusting TO
luck TO conceal their depravity from the
knowledge Of their pa, and in due time
they returned, and walked around the
house, the two most innOcent-lOOking boys
in Burlington. They separated for a few
moments, and at the expiration of that
time the elder was suddenly confronted by
the father, who requested private interview
in the usual place, and the pair adjourn

highly-spirited performances, in which the
boy appeared most succes sfully as '1heavy

WHO ARE THE REPUDIATION-
ISIS.

The Republicans lack leaders with
brains to conceive a policy and courage
to stick it. This is forcibly illustrated
in the case Of Ohio. The Republican
journals throughout the country have
been indulging in free denunciation
of the Ohio Democracy for their re
pudiation" prochvities on the question
ofIpaying the $40 bonds in legal-ten.
der notes, The following is the express
sion of the late Democratic Convention
at Columbus, on this subject:
That the Democracy of Ohio reiter-
ate their declaration that the go
bonds, by the letter and spirit of the
law and the general understanding of
the community, were payable IN legal
tender notes, and the act Of March.
1869, winch pledged the faith of the
nation to their payment in coin, was an
unnecessary and wicked sacrifice of the
interests of the tax-paying laborers for
the benefit of the non-tax-paying bond
holder.
1ue OulO 1ecpuDllCdu COuNtuIlOU,
which was held at Columbus few days
ago, under the lead of Senator Sher-
man declared this to be fat reputation
Now let us see what is the record of the
Republicans of Ohio upon this very
question of paying the $50 bonds in
legal tender notes. Here IS a couple of
plank from their platform of 1868:
That the Republican party pledge
itself to the faithful payment of the
public debt according to law, and we
hereby express our conviction that, ac
cording to the laws under which the
ive.twenty bonds were issued, sand
bonds should be paid in the currency
of the country, which may be legal ten
der when the Government shall be pre-
pared to redeem such bonds.
Now, it would be quite entertaining
for the Republican journals n demon
strate wherein the Ohio Democracy
are more in favor of "Tepudiation "
than the Ohi) Republicans, on the
question of paying the $50 bonds.
