Marble for the Memphis Custom
House.

Knoxville Chronicle, 2oth.l
Mr.. John Burns, of Washington
City, a member of the firm who have
the contract for furnishing marble to
construct the Memphis custom-house,
has been in the city several days pros
pecting, and has finally closed trade
for getting it from the quarry on Col.
John Williams place, about three
miles up the river. The marble is of
that excellent quality for the furnish
ing of which East Tennessee has estab-
lished national reputation, and will,
if properly handled and put up, give
Memphis building which, for beauty
and durability, cannot be surpassed.
The amount to be furnished is
about 10000 cubic feet, and Mr..
Burns will go to work at once quarry
ing and preparing it for shipment, in
the rough, undressed state, to Mem
phis. Knoxville, as well as the quar-
ry owners, is extremely fortunate in
securing this contract for furnishing
the marble, for Mr.. Burns advertises
elsewhere for workmen, etc. 1t will
be the means of furnishing employ
ment to many in need and give us q
good circulation of money just at the
time when matters are tightest. Al
the same time, the contractors could
not haVe improved on their selection

NOT OWE HONEST HAN.

The result Of the Democratic prima-
iiss in this county yesterday was q very
happy surprise to all good Republicans
who have the success Of their ticket al
heart. For months past the NEws. in
common with every other Republican
journal in the State. has been very care
iul to say nothing against Bradley. II
has BEEN the fond wish Of every Rspub-
.ican heart that the old man would TO
ceivs tho nomination for . third term.
and thus compel the Democrats either
to defeat him at the polls BY their own
votes, or make the humiliatins eonfss-
sion that their third.tsrm platforms were
n glazing lie. intended only to catch
votes. In either event. We have felt
certain that Bradley would lose that
prestige among Republicans which
has secured his election to the
Office which no disgrased for two
terms. and SO feeling we have
been disposed to aid in his nomination
by letting him severely alone. These
tactics have fortunately proved success
full. and the probability now IL that the
old man and his beard will lead the
Democratic hosts to destruction in No
vembsr. II would. indeed. be hard to
name q man in the Republican ranks 80
weak before tho people that he could
not out run Bradley in the Gubsrna,e.
rial race.
One result Of the primary election 10
to place IL on record before the entire
State that there Is but m honest man
in the Democratic party. The opponent
Of Gov. Bradley was . gentleman in
every sense OF the word. He was q man
whom hundreds Of poor people in this
State call blessed. for the good deeds
that he has done. He would have drawn
largely from Republican votes all over
the State; but his party declared. by its
action in this county yesterday. that he
was not honest enough to run for
Governor. We propose. during the
campaign. to tear away the fiimsy MAX
Of honesty from the beard Of this
man Bradley. II will then follow that
there Is not one honest man in the
Democratic party according to Its own
verdict. II 10 seldom that . great politi-
cal organization admits this much. We
should be duly grateful TO the Democracy
Of Storey county for its charming frank
ness in the matter. II will give Us the
election in November.

cseded to lay aside his coat and neck-tie

country Gas cursed with factions. while
the great mass Of the American working
men were united. He wished every
workingman to constitute himself a
committee to preserve order. George
Blair Was appointed chairman OF the
meeting and Mr.. Ksarney con-
tinued. He went on to say that
the workingmsn had been illuminated
by . lying. thieving. venal press. lie
abused the San Francisco Cal and the

and said the latter had prostituted itself
and that the former was edited by q

his mouth shut the agents Of the slimy,
