on record is the

fraud on record is the
course of the Louisiana Returning
Board in 1876. Now there is not
sensible man in the whole South
who can honestly and truthfolly
say that there is the slightest SINH
larity in the two cases. Democratic
organs and Democratic speakers
may say there is, but if these men
are blessed with any, intelligence at
all they will know while they
say it that it is weak,
contemplate gubterfuge, unworthy
of the consideration of men
of brains. The 6 Returning Board
in Louisiana was the last barrier,
weak though it was, to the red,
handed servants of the genius of
Murder. It was the one bulwark
that interviewed between the cuts
throats of that State and their
prime object-ofiees and the emolu
ments connected Herewith. Three
thousand Republicans turned their
faces up toward the stars in that
bloody State between the years
1866 and 1875. Terrorism, bars
barity that would have been dis
grace to the Zulus, was the bright
burning star, the sacred lamp that
guided the footsteps Of the LOUIS
lana White Leaguers into the Cap>
itol and the offices at New Orleans.
Is there man in these United
States that can truthfully affirm a
like charge of Maine? Why SO
unaccustomed are the people of
that State to these means of carry
ing elections, that thousands of
them can not believe the history of
Ku-Klux Klans in the South. They
can not see how such things are
possible, and regard them only as
campaign material, ammunition used
to fire the Northern heart. If they
had believed these stories the Re-
publican party would have swept
Maine as the simeon sweeps
the countries Of the East. Every
thing would have been carried be-
fore it, and the Democratic party
would have been shattered from
"turret to foundation stone"
The cases are as widely apart as
are the poles. One is the land Of a
free, untrammeled ballot, the other
is the land of a political band of
Thugs, more dreadful and more
deadly than the copperheads of its
own swamps.

An Interview With King Alfonso

An Interview With King Alfonso.
NJ. Theodore de Grave writes to
the Figaro, describing an interview
with the King and Queen of Spain
at the Royal Palace, Madrid, on
Sunday. He says:
"At4 o'clock nearly every one
had lefts with the exception of
Queen Isabella, the Projects of the
Palace, the Marchioness de Noval-
iches, and Marchioness d Alta Villa,
and the Count de Sanafe. The
Queen Dowager did me the honor
of presenting me to the Princess of
Asturias and the two Infantas. A
few minutes afterward King Alfonso
and his eonsort arrived. His Maj
esty advanced toward me, and, ex-
tending his hand, gave me kindly
welcome. Referring to the pageant
of the previous day, King Alfonso
remarked : I do not care for those
grand ceremonies at which etiquette
compels one to put in an appear
ance. During the four days festiv-
tiles, however, I must be resigned
to my fate. And yet some people
think i am infatuated with all this
pomp; they speak of me as if [
were a Philip II. So far from
that being the case, no sooner
had the procession fled past
than | rushed off to my apartments
and put on a jacket while my wife
changed her bridal costume for a
simple walking dress. We were
glad to make our escape In the
course of further conversation his
| Majesty said: He had taken the
Queen out for walk round the city,
and it was impossible to describe
the pleasure it afforded both of
them King Alfonso then said (:
affairs Of State keep me in Mas
drid. [ have to open the Chambers
and to deal with the Cuban ques-
ton before the Council. All these
things compel me to work, so that |
am now enjoying few holidays. [
shall soon, [ hope, resume my active
life. Nothing pleased me more
than the stirring scenes of the Car
list war-the life in camp, the days
in the saddle and the nights round
the bivouac fires His Majesty
afterward presented me to Queen
Christina, whose charmingly simple
attire contrasted not unpleasingly
with the marvellous toilets and the
displayof gold and precious stones
which were to have been seen a few
hours previouslysin that magnificent
palace"

THE KNOXVILLE CHRONICLE
And Weekly Wing and Chronicle
for 1880,

During the coming Presidential
year, the DAILY CHRONICLE will
take an active part in the vigorous
discussions of all political issues
involved, and will, at the same
time, keep its readers folly posted
On all the important events of the
day. 1t will do whatever is honest
and legitimate to promote the sue
cess of the Republican ticket,
placing fidelity to the interests of
that party above any personal aims
or privata ambition. To this end
it will favor the selection of good
men with clear records, per-
sonal and political, for standard
bearers in the coming canvass, and
when such are selected, it will do
everything reasonable to secure
their success.
In State politics, the CHRONICLE
will support no man for any office,
from Governor down to constable,
who is not in favor of paying the
State debt upon terms satisfactory
to the creditors of the State. It
will oppose the efforts of repudia-
tionists to drag the entire State
down to their low and degraded
standard, first, last and all the time,
and even though the repudiationists
should be successful, it will continue
to denounce them and their infa-
nous schemes.
The WING AND CHRONICLE will
be published weekly, as before, and
will be made up from the issues of
the DAILY CHRONICLE. It will con-
tain choice selection of miscella-
neous matter each week, together
with editor ais, telegraph and local
matter. Especial attention will be
given its columns, and everything
that could be Objectionable in the
family circle will be carefully ex-
Guided. 1t will be the object of the
publishers to make it a welcome
visitor into the families of the
country.
Its market reports will be carefully
revised every Tuesday and made as
nearly perfect and reliable as pos
sible.
The Agricultural columns of the
WING AND CHRONICLE shall receive
close attention, and will be i'm
proved all the time. In this depart-
ment, the views of practical farmers
on topics of interest will be invited.
The proprietors of these two old
and we'll established journals will
spare no pains to keep up and add
to their established reputation, and
are confident that they will make
them worth many times more thar
the subscription price charged.

THE MAINE STEAL

We have been watching with
some degree Of curiosity, the opin-
ions of the press, and more espe-
cially the Democratic part of it, in
regard to the steal in Maine. While
with the Republicans there was nat
ural indignation at the Infamous
scheme, with the Democrats there
is to be discovered a boastful bragga-
docio, but beneath the surface an IN
dercurrent of fear and uneasiness at
the final result. Now that the
swindle has been consummased
they attempt to hide this feeling.
the more deeply by wide>mouthed
indications of joy over the coke, !"
as some of them are moved to
call it.
This measure completes the
measure of Democratic stupidity.
Had the election been close, had
each of the candidates for Governor
received a comparatively equal
number of votes, had the Legisla~
ture depended on the counting out
of one or two districts it might
been possible for them to carry out
the plan, and by speclous argu-
ments and well planned public
speeches to make the people believe
they were in the right. But such
was not the case, and they will soon
discover that they threw away a
knight to save a pawn. On the
face Of the returns, Mr.. Davis,
the Republican candidate for Gov
ernor, had 68,462 votes; Mr.. Smith
had 1850, and Mr.. Garcelon had
21,176. Thus Davis had a plural
ity of 20,952 over the next candi-
date, and lacked only ga votes Of
having clear majority. Ga the
face of the returns the Republicans
elected 81 members of the House,
and the Democrats 80, or a Repub-
lican majority of 81. In the Sen
ate also, the Republicans had a
majority. Here then was the prob
lem. Chow to count out a man
who had received 20,952 votes
more than the Greenbacker,
and 1926 more than Dem
ocrat ?" The only way was
to count out the large Republican
majority in the Legislature, and
this has been done. The will of
the people has been set aside and
men put in Offices who never did
get them by the consent of the
people. Time will work out revenge
for this, and our party can afford to
wait. For the control of a State
for one year and United States
Senator, the Maine Democrats have
completely shattered what few pros
poets they did have for electing a
President next year.
