Col. John FL. Savage addressed very
largeand appreciative audience of the
voters of Hamblen county at the Court
house last Monday. We have not the
space to give the speech more than
mere mention. Col. Savage set out by
denying that he was seeking selfaggran-
dizement. He was aspiring to no office,
and in visiting and talking calmly and
earnestly to the people, without attempt
ing oratory or eloquence, he was actuat-
ed solely by what he honestly believed
to be for the best interests of his bond
ridden and oppressed fellow-citizens. He
intended, if his health permitted it, to
present the same arguments he did here
to the people of every county in the
State. He was now and always had been
! Democrat after the kind of Jefferson,
| Jackson and Polk, and had never in his
| life cast vote for any one inimicable to
their teachings. He intended to fight
the battle of the people against the bond
holders under the Democrat tie flag and
as member of the Democratic party.
He was in a good humor, and did not
desire to make war upon any party or
any particular men, but he did not want
them to misrepresent him and make him
mad He was willing to pay the bond
creditors 33B cents of their demands, al
though they had no legal claims for
cent He referred to his interview with
the bondholders, as committeeman
of the legislature, sustained his course
in that body and prided himself that it
was through hisinstrumentality that the
proposition of the bondholders, to take
so cents in the dollar, submitted to the
extra session of the legislature by the
Governor, had been rejected because
the coupon feature was put in the bill.
He occupied the stand about an hour
and forty minutes. We have heretofore
manifested to the readers of the GA
zETrE, and now entertain opinions wide
Iy differing with Col. Savage. Wehave
believed, and believe still, that the State
owes a debt for value received, and that
her productions and resources leave her
legislators and her people a paltry and
contemplate excuse for non-preparation
to pay it on the basis of the Senate bill
last winter. Col. Savage could not but
have felt complimented by the patient,
earnest and cordial attention he received
from so many of the voters of Hamblen.
That he struck a popular chord, and
played upon it dexterously, was painful
ly apparent. The assemblage was COM
posed largely of Republicans, but on
the subject discussed there seemed to be
wonderful unity in popular sentiment,
and that was lamentably Savagc-like III

COL. JOHN IT SAVAGE.

From the Rhea County News:
We place at the head of our columns
to-day the name of this gentleman for
Governor of Tennessee. We do this in
the hope that the Democratic ConYen-
tion-which we presume will be called
will accept him as its standard bearer
in the coming State canvass.
In his speech delivered at Gallatin
Tennessee-which we printed last week
he gave a clear utterance of his views
on State questions. We believe that
speech more fully represents the senti-
ments of the people of the Tennessee
Valley than anything we have yet seen
from any public man. We are sensible,
however. that there are other gentlemen
Entertaining similar views-in the
Democratic party, quite as able as Col
Savage, and if such one be chosen by
the convention, this paper will give him
a hearty support, bnt should the party
commit the folly of trying to force up
on the people a high tax man, or one
whose sympathies go out for the money
power alone, the Democratic masses will
spurn the nomination. Col. Savage Is a
bold, fearless, candid, and honest advo-
cate of the peoples rights, and they
want him, or Gome man his equal in
these forces for their Governor.

The cambridge Watchnian, if not in
deed wooden-headed, is nevertheless
fttlic-eges-ed in appearance as to salts
factory understanding of the position of
the Republican candidates for Judge of
this Circuit. 1t proclaims that all of
them are pledged to the action of the
New Market ConYention. That while
Judge Swami was not so clear upon this
point in his card, yet lie had affirmed in
a speech last December that he would
abide the action of a Convention. tbs
strange the WatclsHaQlt does not refer to
Judge Swann's second and explanatory
card, printed in the same issue. In that
card he says that he meant that " a
Convention made up of a few picked
men, for any certain man, without ex-
pressing the will entertained by the peo-
pie, would be an improper one, and
fraud upon the rights of the people, and
no one is bound to give sanction to a
fraud, " [unIess it is a Presidential one,
is no doubt meant He is also ''fearful
if Mr. Meek ana Mr.. Murphy cannot
understand a simple card, land by the
way, the simplicity of the card is just
what staggers Meek, Murphey, and 9th
ers, written in plain English, that nei-
ther of them would make good judge,
and at this late date it would be too
much public expense to educate them"
From all which we gather pretty fair
idea Of the kind of candidate he is.
Clearly, it is
Law that moves his chariot wheels,
And Fit.ess holds the relns."

An exchange says; 'One of the most
absurd typographical plumbers ever
made was that which appeared in the
shipping news of certain New York
daily paper. Among the vessels as re-
ported below, were two chips and three
barls' The banks were all right, of
course, and probably some inveterate
punster might insist that the ships were
equally so, because, in this case, they
We're on the C." We cannot agree
that the above is equally as absurd as
the typographical error committed by
some New York daily in 1886, when
speaking of an important battle between
Don Carlos troops and those Of Queen
Isabella, it announced that the former
was defeated with great laughter.

Here is a great deal of truth in few
words from an exchange: Most of the
farmers and spectators of East Tennes-
see lost money on the hog crop last sea-
son. In some cases, corn worth forty
cents a bushel in the crib, did not bring
more than five cents when fed to hogs.
1t has been disastrous season on hog
drivers, many of them made money on
the minus side of the question. The
fact is, East Tennessee, as hog growing
country, cannot compete with the North
west; and she must, in self-defense, be-
take herself to raising cattle, sheep,
mules and horses. Hogs and corn des-
troy the soil; cattle and horses will inn
prove it. for they superinduce the rails
ing of grass crops, which makes manure
and prevents the land from washing.
