The success of Tennessee in getting rid
of half of the principal Of its debt and
nearly half of the interest on the re-
mainder. has encouraged the frugal citizens of

The manner in which the Sage of Cipher Alley
captured Tammany Hall recalls John PhDniI'S
count Of how he whipped Judge Amcs when the
later attacked him. There was blow. Some
body fell. We got up. Then, quickly lnging his

the South and West on q soft-money platform.
He Is using all his power TO have the next campaign

abont il be mght rs well make tho experiment
thorough one, and, therefore he would better take

trbutiou of "sinews' TO help the glorious work

questions. where he Il as Wild and as reckless As
Voorhees,. When he was elected 10 the Senate he
declared himself in favor OF financial system
which would ruin tho most prosperous country m
