Democracy as Repudiationlat

The Brownsville Democrat comes al
as for intimating that the Democratic
party would nominate a repediationist
for Governor. 1t declares that there is
no chance for Il Re ~pudiationist TO be
dominated by the party, and says our
wish is father of the thought. We are
pleased I'd learn that the Democracy
are getting to be honest-although il
must be a very late conviction. But
the Democrat will find out in due time
that we are right about it. That party i;
composed Of Repudiationists and they
are as certain to nominate a man OF
their kind as two and two makes four,
A~s5foD4sof our assertion We refer the
Democrat to the Rhea Springs NeuS-thc
leading Democrat weekly of this Sec
ton. The News says that Col. Savage
reflects the sentiment Of three fourths
Of the llehiocfatic .party and should
therefore he its candidate. The Nous
- SViiS't III oho pNhSV D"'"b0 iSP
resents their views he should undoubt-
eddy be their candidate. But we hope
never'to live to see the day that Tenn
essee will be stained with Reputation
The best thing that can be done il
for that what few honest Democrats
there are left to join the Republicans
and help eltIcr. d compromise man.

The Democrats are thirsting for the
control of this Government. and the
people have had a foretaste of their ca

worthy of mention has been done for
the good Of the country. The apprO-

of progress the session Is liable to eX-

have been removed, some rebel claims
have been allowed, while others have
been discussed and killed, and some
other minor measures have been con-

accomplished by proper application to
business before the holidays. Most of
the time of the House is consumed in
cunning for Republican officials with
no captures. .

rheumatism and govt, since the acrid
element in the blood which produces
them by contact with the sensitive COW
cring Of the muscles and joints may be
eliminated by the Use of that matchless
depurent, Hostetter's Stomach Blttcrs,
before the intiammatOry symptoms are

to attack the heart, the ACCESSIBILITY of
an early use of such Il reliable antidote

by the increased action of the kidneys
which act rs strainers-produced by
the Bitters, and the sufferer will find,
if he uses this supreme defensive agent,
that he will be protected against a re-
