ACTION OF THE CENTRAL CON-
HTTPEE

We are glad to see the general
endorsement which the action of the
State Central Committee, ct its re-
cent meeting. has met from the press
and party. The plan adopted was
not the one of our original choice.
nor the one for which we contended
We favored and urged the appoint
ment, by the Committee, of four
delegates from the State at large TO
the st. Louis Convention. leaving to
Congressional Conventions the Sc
lection of delegates for the Dis
tricts, and the holding of one State
Convention. early in August, for the
nomination of Governor and decla-
ration of principles. Astonishing as
the announcement may seem, how
ever, we soon found that we mo-
noPolized but a small portion of the
brains Of the Committee. So, after
listening to able arguments from
most of the members of the Com
mittee against our plan, and it lack
ing the insignificant formalfty of a
second to be brought to a vote, we
withdrew it and hitched our fortunes
to the plan adopted.

- valued correspondent at Brat
ford's Store, Knox county, Ky, writing
under date of March 10, gives the par
ticulars of a sad case OF, patricide occur
ring in that vicinity the day before The
writer says that owing to family quar-
rel between James Helton and his wife
Mahala, brought about by the inebriated
condition of her husband, she sent for
her married son, Jasper, who lived not
far from her. Upon learning the diff
Guilty between his father and mother,
Jasper took his fathers rifle, his mother
and several of her small children to the
mothers fathers house, TO lodge for tho
night, thinking they would be safer
there than to remain at home, and that
by morning the father would be sober
and harmony would be restored. The
next morning his mother and the chill
dren returned home, and Jasper, after
shooting off the contents of the rifle, re-
turned it home by younger brother,
with a message to his father that now
that lie was sober he hoped there would
be peace in the family. Upon receiving
the message the father became exasper-.
ated at Jasper, loaded his gun, and start
ed for IaSper's house. When near the
house he saw his son in front of the door
and halting, called to Jasper to come to
him. Jasper replied no, he4c0uld not
come. but for him to come down and
take breakfast. The father swore he
would make him come, at the same time
elevating his gun to his shoulder as
though taking aim. The son ran into
his house and hastily snatching his gun
from its rack placed the mIzzie through
a crack in the house, took deliberate aim
at his father and fred The bali entered
the left breast, and the unfortunate man
died Friday night. Jasper gave himself
up, and was placed under guard of two
men. The. next day he requested the
guard to accompany him to the funeral,
which they did. While the wife and
children were weeping around the de-
scending coffin, Jasper ayailcd himself
of the mournful occasion to elude his
guard and made his escape. Public SEN
timent is divided in regard to the muir
der. james Helton leaves a widow and
eight children, and wicked as had been
his past life, he gave evidence before he
died that God had forgiven him. Our
correspondent requests us to say to his
Tennessee friends that this is another
evidence of the wretchedness
and crime produced by whisky drink
ing, and to urge themsto goto work and
battle against the mighty foe.

A CALL FOR JUDGE RANDOLPH
To the Fditor Of tba NFo-risto1,,,, r.a1at+a

To the Editor Of the Morristown Gazette:
There being no paper of Republican
principles published in this part of our
Congressional District, take the liberty,
trusting to your known liberality and
generosity to save it from being con-
signed TO the flames, to write few lines
as an expression of the sentiment of the
Republicans of this portion of the Dis
trict concerning the nominee of the par
ty to which l belong for the Congress
ional race this fall. l am a Republican
one from principle-and as such con-
slider it my duty, and the duty of all 9TH
er faithful members of our party, to con-
slider we'll the question who will be the
man to retrieve the disaster which befell
US two years ago.
In casting about for that individual |
Immediately fall upon the Hon James
II. Randolph, Judge of this Judicial Cir
cult. Judge Randolph is the man for
many reasons He is the unanimous
choice of the Republicans in all these
lower counties. He is intimately &C
quainted and universally liked and re-
spected among the people here. His
honesty and integrity as man, and his
impartiality and uprightness as Judge,
have greatly commended him TO public
favor. He has a widely extended rela-
tionship throughout the lower counties
His Baptist proclivities will rally that
Church around him, and for these and
other reasons he is the man who can car
Ty our banner to victory.
The upper counties have heretofore
monopolized the candidates, and the low
er have hardly been allowed a voice in
our Conventions. Now we demand to
be heard and recognized, and insist that
we be allowed the man of our choice
If you vii publish these few remarks
you will confer a favor on a political
foe, but one who is personally your
friend. REPUBLICAN,

THE REPUBLICAN, CONVENTION

A small and solemn conclave as
sembled in the Chancery Court room
at this place last Monday, the Sd
instant. to appoint delegates to the
Republican State and Congressional
Conventions. Each face wore a fu-
nereal expression of settled sadness,
and an occasional stiffness and hush
perVaded the room, while it seemed
as though the congregation mourned
over the downfall and disgrace of
the mighty leaders of the great Re-
publican party. 1t appeared as
though the political remains of
Grant, Babcock. Belknap, Robson,
Colfax, ct id omne genus, lay slIroud-
ed before them, while they stead
lastly gazed on the face of the dead,
and bitterly thought of the morrow"
After few preiiminaries, CON-
mittee was appointed which reported
list of delegates to the two Con-
ventions, which was severely adopted.
Then fell hush, and ''the silence
no TOKEN" until finally the deep
toned voice of an eminent ex-candi-
date for the Legislature, and present
u. =. official, was heard Offering q
few verses in the shape of resolu-
ton, the purport of which was that
the delegates attend tue Bulls Gap
Convention uninstructed, save that
they be directed to vote for the man
that will win" Here voice NUT
tered, ''that' instructing EN- to vote
for Mcfarland
Silence once again reigned. The
man that will win, the man that viii
win," seemed ringing in every ear,
while the utter irnpossibility of the
proposition seemed to appall each
heart and paralyze each tongue, and
when the question was put by the
Chair, here and there could be heard
low muttered aye '.only this,
and nothing more
Then some irreverent cuss in q
corner calculated, ''brethren. let us
ray;'' but the Chair held that
motion To adjourn was pending and
had precedence. Thereupon they
adjourned.

specimens of variegated marble taken
from his quarry in Hamhlen county. 1t
is of somewhat different color from the
Hawkins county varieties, and is of

Tate's Spring.

we are informed that Messrs. Tomlin-
son and Drake, the lessees of Tate's
Spring, have taken possession, and are
now putting the premises in superior
order and condition, With Che determi-
nation 10 keep the hotel in a manner and
style that will secure an Increased pa
tronage of this celebrated watering
place We are assured that they have
means adequate to the undertaking, and
are in every respect personally compe-
tent to the task. We wish them entire
success, and bespeak for them the patron
age of all who are seeking either health
or recreation.
Both as a safe and pleasant remedial
agent in many classes of disease, and as
an agreeable invigorator and general
tonic, this water is regarded as the
most eff1cacious of the known mineral
springs, and is annually visited by large
numbers, but few of whom fail to find
relief, whether afflicted with positive
disease or only worn and weary with
the cares and tolls of life. This influx
of visitors, who, as a general rule, are
persons of intelligence, cultivation and
wealth, is not without its advantages TO
the country; i'm fact, we may say that it
not only is source of fine income to
the proprietors of the Spring, but is di-
rectly conducive to the material inter
ests of a wide section, and not without
good effects upon its social progress.
We are, therefore, much gratified to
know that during the ensuing season
every possible incidental inducement
will be offered to the public to visit
Tate's Spring
The proprietors are prepared to ship,
in new and handsome barrels, this water
TO any point desired.
