From Democratic Papers

Nashville Americana: There are
some things which rise above politics.
The course Of Or. wight, the Republican
nominee for Governor, in remaining at
his post during the prevalence Of yell
low fever at Chattanooga, must be conf
mended AS an act Of heroism by lei of
all parties. AS a leading physician in
Chattanooga, that was his post; as q
nominee for Governor, he could easily
have pleaded his lately assumed politi-
cal duty. At this time, when the flood
gates of sympathy are opened and men
of all parties are pouring ont their
means to succor the afflicted, knowing
no North and no South, no party and
no color, it affords us pleasure to COM
mend an act Of personal heroism in a
gentleman with whose politics W. Go
not agree, and we know that none will
be warmer in commentator than his
| chivalrous opponent.
Knoxville Tribune: awe are sorry
| % have to admit the fact that there is
one Democratic paper in Tennessee ca
pable of rhe indecency Of impugning
the motives Of DR.. Wight, the Republi-
can candidate for Governor, who is de-
tanned in Chattanooga by a sense of hui
name professional duty TO his fellow
citizens upon whom the pastilence has
fallen. The S~hclbyville Commercial
which usually is nothing, il not absurd
ly intense in its folly-insinuates that
DIR. Wight ''fndS it a better paying
business to follow the practice of his
profession than to engage in a political
canvass" Such an imputation, at such
a time as this, deserves to be severely
rebuked. Judge marks, who as yet is
personally unacquainted with DR..
Wight, took occasion on the delivery of
of his frst speech at Bristol to com
mend in the warmest and sinCerest
terms the phylanthropic spirit Of his
competitor, and to regret that so sad a
duty as the one he was discharging
had deprived DR.. Wight Of the oppor-
tunity of presenting his Owl views to
the people. No man in the State APP
preciates more fully and recognizes
more cheerfully the heroic labOrs in
which DR.. Wight is now engaged than
does Judge Marks, and Zone can be
found more ready than he to repel the
i%mputation of m%ercenary or d~emagogi-
cal purposes to his competitor while
battling with the scourge that is daily
bearing his neighbors to the grave.
The %ungracious assault of the Comm en-
cial will awaken no other feeling in
Democratic bosom than that of con-
tempt for the spirit that prompted

The Republican Nominee for Congress.

The Republican Nominee for Congress.
The Republican convention OF this
Congressional District that assembled
at South Pittsburg nominated Hon.
Ken. Wheeler, of Chattanooga, for
Congress. The convention was very
small-the yellow fever excitement
being 20 high that delegates would not
attend. There WAS not n third OF
the counties in the district represented
| by delegates, but however the little
handful from Chattanooga and Marion
! county saw proper to take the respon-
| sibility upon themselves of speaking
for the Republicans of this district. III
! this they assumed considerable respOn-
| sibility that they had no right to do
1t was undoubtedly the views of four
dfths of the Republicans of this dis
trict not to make u nomination, but to
let the Greenbackers and the BourbOns
fight it out, which would have UNI
doubtedly resulted in electing Cliff, the
| ~Greeubscker. But as it is, both Cliff
and Wheeler will be defeated by at
least ten thousand majority. Ar.
| Wheeler would make us an excellent
! representative if he could be elected,
but surely he ~ not fool enough tc
think he stands the ghost Of a chance,
70 be plain about it, the best thing
Wheeler could do would be to with
draw in favor of Cliff 50 the latter
could be elected. As it is, every mar
with q thimbleful Of brains knows
Wheeler will be disgraccfully defeated,
These men that run the machine did
not represent the party in their action
of a nomination.

Platform on which Wheeler
stands for Congress.

The Republican party Of the Third
Congressional District in convention
assembled, adopted the following resO-
buttons:
/. The record Of the Republican
party, of its devotion TO the cause Of
national unity, and its administra-
ton of public affairs is such as to en-
title il to the continued confidence
and support Of the people.
2. The record of the Democratic
party is that Of a struggle for power
instead Of principle; a record Of trea-
sons, stratagems and spoils; Of incon-
sistencies and compromise; and since
its dethronement from power, il has
taken scarcely any position on public
questions which it has not abandon
ed. It's leaders, by distorting and
suppressing the truth, have hereto
fore deceived and misled the people,
and still end9ayor TO impress upon
them wrongful ideas of government.
3. We favor Federal appropriations
for public improvements, but are ut
terly opposed to subsidies. ,
4. We urge upon Congress the ne
cessity of an appropriation which
will be sufficient for the immediate
completion Of the work now in pro-
gress upon the Tennessee River.
5. All lands granted by the gener
al government which have been for
eifed urder the laws ought to be
r eseryed FOR the use of actual settlers.
Whereas, under the Democratic
management in the South proper ed
ucational facilities are being denied
the rising generation, therefore, We
recommend national action for our
relief.
2. We congratulate tho country
upon the neal approach of the re-
sumption of specie payments and are
opposed to any System Of finance
which would give us a permanent
currency not interconvertible at par
with gold.

Col. Gilt WIihdraws.

On going to press We learn by
a letter received by II. II. Hayes,
chairman Of the Greenback Ex-
ecutive Committee, that Col. w,
5. Cliff is still in a very critical
condition and will not be able TO
make the race for Congress, and
therefore withdraws. It's thought
that as the time is so short, the
committee will not put out ano-
ther candidate. The only thing
left now for the people TO do lis
to support Wheeler, the Republi-
can nominee.

Judke Marks In CIevelnnd.

Judge A. 5. Marks, Democratic can
Gidite for Governor, spoke to quite q
good crowd here on Tuesday. Mr..
marks it a very good speaker aue is
somewhat familiar with the "tricks in
trade" lie devoted only two minutes
to State issues, In which the people OF
Tennessee are only inter ested. His
entire speech was devoted to abusing
the Republican administration. The
Judge is a man Of too much sense to
undertake to defend the rotten thiev-
ing Democracy Of Tennessee, OF which
he Is the tool. he dared not defend
the administrations of Brown and Por-
ter, but preferred TO attract the atten-
ton of the people to something away
of wonder. The people of this section
would have liked to have heard State
issues discussed. That Is what the
people are interested in; they want to
know who is stealing their taxes and
plunlering the State Treasury; they
want to know why the Democracy
have increased the State debt in the
last eight years from eleven million to
twenty-three million dollars /; they
want to know why Judge Marks and
his theiving Democratic ring have not
been paying on this debt instead of
Using it to their own purpose; they
wan. 70 know why the COmptroller's
Office was sold for $4,000 when the
salary is only $4,000 4; they want to
know how |ohn &. BuTch was able to
pay that amount for it; they want to
know why a State Treasurer, who was
not worth $1,000 when elected, and
after serving two short years comes
out of office worth over one hundred
thousand dOllars-and in addition to
that Is president Of several Banks and
other corporations.
These are the questions in which all
the peoble are interested, but the
Judge, like all the rest Of the ring,
would much rather they wera not held
up 70 the public gaze. 1t is only to be
regretted that Or. Wight could not be
present to expose these things and let
the people soc where the thievery is.
The Judge complimcnted DR.. Wight
for attending to his duties he owes to
his neighbors In Chattanooga. Of
course he was glad DR.. Wight could
not be present, because the Judge
would have had to discuss State issues.
lie was very abusive of hr. Tillman,
the Greenback candidate. lie fears
Ti}lman will take enough votes of of
him toilet Wight be elected if the Re
publicans and honest Democrats stick
t. Wight-which they are sure to do.

Shnr and Lovely.

A gentleman from Charleston who Is
well informed says that Sharp will car
ry the 9Th district by at least 100 ma
iority. He says that Lowery's old
trick of two months ago has just been
found out, and that it is losing him
friends daily. The report also from
the I'd and 18th districts, where Low
cry received a large vote last August,
says that Louery will lose heavily this
time. They voted for him before be-
cause he was a neighbor and would
have made u very good Trustee, but
this time a man is wanted in the Legis-
laturs that will do the people some
good. Mr.. Lowery is entirely unac-
quainted with the ways of the world
and would simply be a igurehead in
that body if he WAS elected. He could
vote "I'' and "No" and draw his pay,
and that would be about all he could
do.

so his pistol dropped to the sidewalk and
was discharged. At this Singleton drew
aud commenced firing. lie discharged

one In on Singleton before tho ARRAY was

Canadian squaw who has been peddling
beaded trinkets about the streets of Vir-

Both parties were arrested. As near as we
can learn the facts, tho ARRAY was the re-
suit Of an alteration earlier in tho day.
and WAS commenced by weese. who called
Singleton 10 him. The latter refused. say.
ing he didn't wish to talk with weese. and
In this probably was right, for II Madame
