The Late Democratic Convention,

Perhaps no State convention ever
assembled in Tennessee in the de
liberations of which more interest
was felt and upon the result OF
which more depended. - was Sc
riously apprehended that there
would be dissentions and probably
split. There we're many conflict
ing views to be harmOniZed. There
were various pronounced opinions
by leading men of the party upon
the State debt or State credit ques-
tiOn that differed as widely as the
poles. 1t seemed almost impossible
TO harmonic them. Every delegate
went to the conyention impressed
with these facts and fearing the re-
suit. If a compromise could be eff
fected and harmony prevailed, then
success was assured. If discord
ruled, then defeat was certain. Per
haps these very apprehensions con
tributed somewhat to the success of
the deliberations. ell men felt the
necessity Of mutual concessions,
and the committee on platform seem
to have gone to work upon that
idea. The result is before us. The
platform is all that true democrat
could ask or expect under the cir
cumstances. True it may not meet
our individual views on the State
debt question, but our individual
opinions must be sqbordinated to !
the good of the party upon whose A
success everything else depends. |
The success of the democratic party |
is paramount not only to our puny |
opinions on any and all questions,
but to even the State debt of Ten
nessee itself in ell of its immense
proportions. The platform adopted |
assures this so far as Tennessee is |
But if there was any
thing lacking, the nomination of
Hon. Albert 5. MARKS gave it the
touch. Judge Marks is
eX-Confederate colonel,
had been Chancellor of the Winches-
ter Division for the past eight years
and was unanimously reelected at
the late August election for another
term, and really did not seek but
declined this nomina-
lion. But his spotless life, splen-
lid talent, sound democracy and
manifest zeal in democratic success
had marked him as the man to bear
,he banner in the coming campaign.
For two days and nights the con
struggled to make a nomi-
nation, without result. Hon. AL
red Caldwell, of Knox; Hon. John
1. Savage, of Warren; Cola. S.Col- l
'ar, of Davidson; Col. John A.
Gardner, of Weekly, and Hon. Jno.
VI. Fleming, of Knox, were put in :
nomination, and many ballots were /
aiken, but it was evident that no c
esult could be reached. Finally {
he name of don. Jno. V. Wright, |
# Maury, was offered, but without
esult. Then the name of Albert
J. Marks, of Franklin, was thrown
o the whale, and 1t was satisfied.
10 name ever created more enthu-
iasm before a convention, and al.
hough positively withdrawn by his :
riends, the 22d ballot showed that
e was almost unanimously nomi- :
ated. We accept him, and the :
eople accept him. In fact, the ac- 4
on of the convention both as to :
latform and candidate were never !,
lore heartily received and endorsed :,
V the democracy of the State. y
'hen notified by telegraph of the =
omination and asked to accept, he y
splied, Il will obey the will of the y
eople." u

Courier Journal: The witness,
Leete has added another chapter to
the inside of the Republican crime
in Louisiana. The Republican pro-
gramme, he says, "was to keep the
colored Republicans from voting"
so as to raise the cry of Democratic
intimidation. That was the Kel-
logg plan, the Sherman plan, the
Packard plan. 1t was fully demon
strated,so that no body now doubts
that Leete was correct when he
said: al knew very we'll that Sher-
man and the visiting statesmen had

composed of over 1900 delegates.
Every county in the State except
four was represented. This Is un-

the awakening of the people. 1t
presages a lively canvass and a

CAPTAIN A. T. LACEY, at one time the
most opulent merchant of Memphis, and al
ways a well-to-do business man, died of yell
low fever yesterday morning at his residence
IN Chelsea. He came to this city IN 1862
from st. Louis, where he was FOR many years
engaged in the steamboat business and gen
eral merchandising. Here for FIVE years he
did a very large business as a grocery and
cotton merchant, but the collapse of 1867
caught him, and he went down for a large
amount, which we believe he since fully
liquidated. He was, when he died, partner
of General A. J. Vaughan, recently elected
criminal court clerk, the firm being agents
for the Changers of this and counties in the
adjoining States. Captain Lacey served
several terms in the Missouri Legislature. and
once in that of this State, being elected presi-
dent of our State Senate. He was a candi-
date for Con Rress before two successive Dem
ocratic Conventions, and was regarded one
of the shrewdest and most astute politicians
in the State.

No ONE that knows the Rev. Dr. Landrum,
pastor of the Central Baptist church, whether
he be Baptist, Jew or Catholic, but will pray
for his recovery. From the outset of the
dreadful plague he has been on his feet night
and day, nurse here and an advisor there.
but always the man of God carrying the
blessed consultations of the gospel to those
who were waiting the new birth. How
many sick rooms his pleasant face has lighted
up, and to how many he has been a light,
lighting a way otherwise dark and
dreary no one but himself and those
ne succored can tell. He was every hour OF
day and night at his post, doing his duty,
taking no account of his own safety, but
leaving that to the Great Disposer of Souls.
The loss of his talented son and the sickness
of his wife will, no doubt, be an aggravatioD
of his disease. But with it all we pray that
he may recover, and find many more years
of usefulness, such as he has found in the
past Of life well spent.

Mr.. HERBERT LANDRUM. local editor Of
the ApalaHche, died yesterday morning of the
ever at the residence of his parents. Like
his father, the reverend pastor of the Central
Baptist church, he knew no fear where duty
was to be performed. He stood to his post
and braved all the terrors of the epidemic,
not only performing his own accustomed
labors but taking on cheerfully the load that
others dropped as they died or fed from the
plague. How tenderly and with what watch
fulness he nursed the late Mr.. Thompson, to
whom he WAS very much attached, all who
knew him are cognizant of. Falling from
exhaustion when his brother editor died he
recuperated, and again took his place as the
only one of the AUalanche staff LETT. There
be staid, doing double duty until the fever
took him. After comparatively brief battle
he succumbed, and is now numbered with
those who fell with their faces to the foe.
The most promising man in the profession,
his triumphs were only limited by the de-
mands which each day made upon him.
Quick, witty, sparkling and bright, he babe fair
to outshine all his contemporaries as par
agraphist and chronicler of city affairs. He
never knew a dull moment, and grasped as
eagerly the points of others as he spontane-
ously made those of his own. Cut off IN the
bud and promise of useful career in a pro-
fession to which he seemed to be born, it will
be difficult to replace him. To the mental
qualities and readiness of pen which distin-
guished him, he added diligence and sobriety |
No man could be more earnest or more in
dustrious. He knew what was valuable as
news by instinct and grasped it without de- |
lay. To the members of the profession, he |
was always courteous, kind and affable. They |
fully his good feeling, and |
promptly as he won it, recognized his place |
in the profession. We deeply mourn his death,
and earnestly condole with his parents upou
the loss of son who gave promise of a
most useful and honorable career

interchangeable an officer aud a physician of Sc
much experience and ability. He has worked
in the interest of the city faithfully and
well, employing every medium for disinfect-

own or the experience of others could sug
Rest. Besides which he has been a faithful
physician to hundreds whose confidence IN
