LISBON, August 19.-In conse-
quence of'the financial crisis, there
was a general run on the banks here
yesterday, and they were compelled
to close their doors. Several will
suspend payment. The Bank of
Portugal is also closed. All sus-
pending banks have assets in excess
of their liabilities. The present
embarrassment is solely due to the
scarcity of silver coin, supplies of
which are expected from London,
and it is thought that on its arrival
the crisis will terminate. 1t is ex-
pected that an official decree will be
published tomorrow, granting a
delay Of two months for the pay
ment Of commercial bills.
PARIS, August ia fresh

BAYREUTH, August 19.-Five

BELGRADE, August 10. = Dis
patches from General Tebervayeff
to Prince Milan report that his
army is perfectly reorganized and
ready to. assume the offensive.
An extraordinary combined coun-
Gil was held yesterday, Prince Milan
presiding, at which it was resolved
to continue the war to the last ex
tremity.
The Prince of Montenegro UNI
derstanding the Turks intended to

whence he will invade Albania,
where the Catholics promise him
their support.

The reduction in the cost Of govern.

should be followed up with additional
%retrenchment in all departments of gov.
eminent. -Avalanche.
We concur in this. Some genu-
Inc reforms were accomplished by
the last Legislature in the face Of
an organized opposition, Of which
the people at home have very little
idea. We may yentilate some Of
this at the right time. Some Of
the most desirable reforms under
taken were throttled by interested
parties.

nor Harris enumerated his princi-
pies and the principles and policy
of the great. Democratic party in
the body of his letter in a clear,
and forcible, and convincing man
ner. The letter of itself is a strong
campaign document, and is charac-
teristic of the man. He init
mates that, although a pri-
vate in the ranks, he viii
not be an idle spectator of the cam
paign. He will do what he can for
the common cause with earnest
ness, zeal and ability. 1t will now
deyolve upon the Democratic Elk
ecutive Committee to fill the va
cancy upon the electoral ticket.
Middle Tennessee has one of the
Electors for the State at Large in
the person of General Bate. West
Tennessee has no other conspicuous
candidate than Governor Harris,
and we presume, therefore, that to
pour oil on the troubled waters of
East Tennessee the appointment
will be given to some one in that
section. The Democracy carried
East Tennessee for the first time in
1874. This was accomplished by
the aid of the conservative Union
element, which, by the way, re-
Gently elected Colonel Rose, an ex-
Confederate, to circuit iudgeship
over his two Republican COM
petitors, in the district next
above Knoxville. Hon. E. A.
of Chattanooga, was a
Union man throughout the war
and has acted with the Democrats
ever since. He has been a member
of the Legislature two or three
times, is popular in his section, is
a good speaker and DICTATOR, has
done excellent service for the Dem
ocratic and Conservative party, is a
rising young man, was next to Har-
ris in the contest before the con-
yention, receiving almost the entire
vote of East Tennessee, and we
think that his claims are entitled
to consideration at the hands Of the
committee. This is not said to dis
parage the merits of others. But
we do believe, as a matter of prin-
ciple and policy, in r%ewarding the
deserving workers of a party when
it can be done consistently and
properly. Whatever the decision
of the committee, we have no
doubt it will be cheerfully acqui-
esced in by the party from Shelby
to Carter.

RX-GOv. HARRIS DECLINES TO BE A
CANDIDATE FOR ELECTOR.

Governor Harris letter in the
morning papers declining to be a
candidate for Elector, addressed to
the Democratic Executive Com
mittee at Nashville, excited some
surprise and general remark. 0w-
ing to its length we give only the
portion which contains, substanti-
ally, his reasons for this step:
Having twice asked the convention
not to place my name upon the electoral
ticket, aud having been nominated by so
large and hattering a majority az the
convention after my repeated earnest
request to be excused, | felt | owed the
people Of Tennessee too much to refuse
10 take upon myself the responsibilities
and labor Of the position to which the
convention had assigned me. and there
fore reluctantly accepted But having
learned that my nomination as one Of
the electors for the State at large has
produced some degree Of dissatisfaction,

specially but peremptorily decline to be
a candidate for Elector.

This is a candid, manly utter

above and beyond criticism. 1t wi

raised against him on accour
of his secession record, but eve
