Sur: In an editorial article in The TRIBUNE
YOU have cassed Gov. Hendricks OF this State among
the "ropudiaonists and In substance, say that 81 lie
should he nominated hc would be opposed by The nde
pendent voters. II by the term "repudationst" you
class Gov Hendricks with those who would rcpudiatc
any OF tie Governments ObligaOns, you do him wrong
unntentional OF course, but nevertheless wrong. II
Won mean by that term that Gov. Hendricks iayOrs
any financial policy which would lead to such result
You likewise misrepresent him. There is nothing in his
public speeches private utteranccs that can be even
tortured into such meaning IL the independent voters
or what is the same the Greeley Republicans Of 1872
shall II Gov Hendricks be nominated at St. Louis,
refuse to support him, they will exhibit far less
manly and honorable than that OF the Democrats
In Indiana in 1872 Political histories record very few
as mananimous, enthusiastic, and earnest support
that gwen by the great body Of Democrats in 1872 TO
their ancient enemy. Indiana led of IN that movement
and Gov Hendricks PIT at the head OF the ticket
and no man IN the Union gayo more cordial
or effective support TO the Cincinnati nominees
and platform than did he. THE TRIBUNE will not admit
that The Cincinnati platform OF 1872 IS IN favor OF Tepu
policy IN National Convention. Gov. Hendricks ~
dorscd That platform, and has not yet rcpudiaed H.
Gov Hendricks ls an able man. he Is an honest man he
L. q safe man. What more was Horace GrcclCGi Inc

the democratic party put patriotism above all other con-
eratous and cordially supported that marvellous Old man.

A Rare Treat.

The Rev. John W. Hammer, ST.,
filed the pulpit of his son Jno. W.
Hammer, Jr, at the Methodist
Church in this place, last Sunday
morning. The house was filled to
Overlooking, and breathless atten-
ton was paid to every word that
fell from the lips of the cold man
eloquent" He opened the exer
ercises by reading the 99th hymn
'Joy to the world, the Lord is come,
Let every heart receive her King
Let every heart prepare him room,
And heaven and nature sing" &c,
His text was chosen from the
xviii. chapter of St. John, 3Sth
verse: ''What is TRUTH
From beginning to end his ser
mon was a close, clear and poaer-
full array ofreason and thought, knit
together by his mastery mind and
delivered with an JUNCTION and force
characteristic of his best old-time
style. He was filed with his sub
iect and frequently during his
discourse the old man of God
thrilled every listener by his elo
quence and soul-charming words.
We shall not attempt to give
even a faint idea of what the ser
mon was. Suffice it to say that il
was a great sermon from a great
and good man, and was most warm
ly commended by all who had tn'
good fortune to hear it. 1t was &
rare treat indeed, and the wish E
universal in this community that
the beloved old man may often fiji
this pulpit during the present Con
ference year.-FrankliR ReVieD.

Another Fire.

On last Friday morning about 3
O'Clock the splendid new residence
of DR.. j. C. Roberts on End street
was discovered on fire, and soon
burned to the ground. The house
was scarcely finished and for that
reason an old carpenter shop adjoin
ing was left standing The shop
had been used for a stable lately, and
Thursday night Tor Friday morn
ing some one set it on ire. DR..
Jones was sleeping upstairs next
to the shop and was awakened by
the flames when the shop was about
half consumed. He gave the alarm
and quickly the town was alarmed,
but no water could be procured in
time to prevent the flames from
communicating with the house. DR..
Roberts loss will reach about So
600. which is reduced by $1,000 in
surance and the worth of the debris,
bringing his actual loss probably
to about $1,000. The house was so
compactly built and hedged in by
brick walls and a slate roof that
the adjacent buildings were saved.
1t is to be regretted that water
could not be procured, as a few
bucketfuls might have extinguished
the flames ana saved the house.
Several persons worked heroically
in saving the furniture, etc, most of
which was lost. Five fea.herbeds,
a gold watch, a $50 pair of specta
cles, bureaus, trunks, etc, were lost.
DR.. Jones also lost his watch. The
tiend who set fire to the stable had
the consideration to turn the horses
out first. No clue to the incendiary
that we have heard. DR.. R. desires
US to express thanks to his friends
who worked so vigorously ab the
fire.

Gov. Harris Speech.

Ex-Gov. Isham G. Harris arrived
in Pulaski from Lewisburg last
Monday night and spoke to an i'm
mense audience of people at the
court house Tuesday morning. He
was very hoarse from his eXertions
the day before, and announced his
inability to speak, but the crowd
was so eager to hear him that he
spoke for about an hour under great
stress. Notwithstanding he was al
most Frustrated and scarcely could
speak above a whisper, he made the
finest, most patriotic, soul-stirring,
honest old democratic speech we
have heard this campaign. 1t is
doing no politician in the State in
justice to put Gov. Harris head and
shoulders above him as the most
profound politician and thinker end
the most excellent stump orator of
the day. The recent Grant-Taft
usurpation furnished HIM text by
which to aI1aign the party Of pro-
scriptive hate, perjury and pecnla-
tions-a question that overshadOws
all others, a strike at liberty and
free government, a vile and gigantic
overlapping of law and Overreach-
ing of the constitution, measure
which if perpetrated by Queen Vic
toria in her monarchial kingdom
would cost her her crown in forty
eight hours, and endanger her head
The speaker saw but one hope, and
that was in the people, and he urged
them, old and young, EVERYBODY, to
come out to the polls on the 7th of
November and stamp the party Of
hate into everlasting oblivion with
such tremendous and overwhelming
unanimity that the whole land
would tremble and tyrsnts cringe
and beg. Our people have not had
such a political stir in years as was
effected by Gov. Harris, and his
burning eloquence and the-everlast-
ing truths he uttered went home TO
every heart with the soul-thrilling
power of conviction. o, for a hun
bred such men in every State! The
people would soon spring from their
lethargy and seize from the grasp of
haters and bummers the helm of
state, and guide the country into
that haven Of prosperity and glory
for which our fathers launched the
craft.

Died.

On Tuesday morning, oath, inst,
at 1870 o'clock, at his residence Z
miles south of Pulaski, of pneu-
monia, MIR. WIN. J. SHORT, aged 90
years. Deceased was a life time
resident of Giles county, except the
space of two or three years spent in
Mississippi since the war, and bore
the enviable reputation ofbeins one
of the most honest, stable and true
men that lived with US. His death
is regretted universally and his fun
eral on yesterday was attended by
a large number of friends and rela-
tives. He leaves a wife and five
children, for whom we most sincere
ly sympathize. The funeral ser
vices were conducted by Rev. J. B.
Anderson.

A young Pulaski lawyer had a
client who was arrested charged
with a criminal ofense. Before
trial day ne furnished his antago-
mist, another young lawyer, with a
list of his authorities, and here they
are: Bishop , vol; Acts 71-3-5;
Gritty 2 vol; Parsons on contracts
Starkie Ev 3 vol; Greenleaf; Wash.
on Real prop; HubbelPs Legal Dt
rectory; Law Almanac; Webster s
Dictionary. Now! There's an ar
ray of authorities for you that
might shake the title Of the oldest
residenter to his estate, subvert the
constitutional rights of whole com
munities and almost turn the lands
upside down, wreck fortunes, blast
expectances, annihilate titles
abridge liberties and everlastiDgly
wind up domains, principalities and
powers-but how in the name OF
Solomon you can find law there to
clear a man of hog-stealing is a
mystery that can only be fathomed
when he furnishes the pages and
sections relied upon. If the man
had stolen the hog in writing, he
would doubtless have referred to an
ink stand to prove the contents OF
The instrument.

Good Butter at Burgie's.

During the fire last Friday morn
ing great apprehension was felt for
a long time that some Of the ada
cent buildings would be ignited by
the mynads of sparks which for two
hours filled the air 1t was indeed
q time of great apprehension and
alarm, a steady gale was blowing,
and, save a slight sprinkle the eve
ming before, there had been no rain
for six weeks. What could the
people do? There was a splendid
new edifce burning, with no hope
and not even an effort to save it.
The pv0pIv seemed perrecJly para
lied in the presence of the destroy
ing flames. If other buildings
caught, where would it end? There
we're no facilities for conquering
the monster, and strong, resOlute
men had to stand with arms akImbO,
and await the result. 1t was a
dreadful suspense. And yet for
$1,000 the town could be supplied
with the necessary facilities for ex-
tinguishing all such fires. We be
lieve the people would sustain the
Board of Aldermen in making the
investment, and we appeal to the
Board to do it at once.

It seems to be a well established
fact that the last three or four years
have witnessed a return of the Jews
to Palestine from every quarter of
the globe. The number going from
Russia is entirely unprecedented.
The Hebrew population of Jerusa.
lem Is more than double what it
was ten years ago, and the move
ment is going on rapidly. Most OF
the city property is now in the
hands OF Jews, who have gone there
from other countries, and, in a few
years time, they will probably be
the owners of the whole city.-New

Bishop Quintard's Lecture.

Rt. Rev. Bishop Quintard lectured
at the Episcopal Hall in Pulaski on
Monday night upon "What I saw in
Europe" The lecture was devoted
to the very interesting history and
description of the famous churches
and cathedrals of England, abound
ing in details of sights he saw while
travelling recently in the United
Kingdom. The lecture was full of
interest and information, and was
dressed in the beautiful and de-
scriptive language peculiar to the
Rt. Rev. Bishop.
