Col. E. w. Cole has obtained
control OF the Western and Allan
tic railroad from Chattanooga to
Atlanta. If he keeps on increasing
and consolidating his power, he
will become a veritable Old King
Cole, and if he is not already "a
Jolly old SOUP he ought to be

There were put chased just before
the Ohio election, and have never
been used. Our reason for selling
is that we are not very well, and
feel unequal to the task of turning
our paper into poultry yard.
If Ohio smashed Thurman, New
York certainly pulverized Tilden.-
Bayard is next IN order, and if no
election is held in Delaware soon he
will doubtless wear we'll for awhile.
There is one trouble with Bayard,
though, his State isn't big enough
to build an air castle on.
The right of suffrage is exercised
rather too often in this country
these days. This thing of rush
ing to the ballot-box every month
or so is undermining democratic
institutions. The worst feature of
our present form of government is,
that the people vote 100 often-for
the Republican ticket.
The soul of Savage seethes and
bubbles in the columns of the Nc
Minnville New Era, because the
blOated railroaders refused to carry
his squad to Nashville at half fare
rates. The inflated r. RS do not
appear to be disturbed by this vex
alton of spirit in Warren county,
for they continue to bear alofL the
anti reputation banner on which
Is inscribed the business like de
vice: "Pay full fare or walk, by

On the night of his death Zacha-
riah Chandler, unconsciOuse of the
dread summons awaiting him, de-
livered an exceedinly bitter speech
in Chicago, in which be mahgned
the Southern people with VIC
Ience precedented in the annals
of sectional warfare. Among other
things he said: "You may 90
through every State in the South
and you will find a claim hidden
away for every slave liberated"
He stated further, of his own
knowledge, that the Southern sol
diers were about to demand com
pensation from the government for
time and limbs lost in the late war,
and that petition TO Congress for
the enactment of a law providing
for the payment of these claims
was now being extensively circula-
ted and signed In the Southern
States. Before these lies had time
to cool, death palsied the tongue
that uttered them.
The Memphis Avalanche, the
leading Greenback, or National,
party organ of the South, makes
this candid confession:
"The party of Currency Reform
has dissolved into thin air. Even
the Cincinnati Enquirer gave it a
parting kick, thus: The Greenback
party, as separate political organ
ization, never had before it any "a
tional possibility Of party success
And further: with the decay of
that party in Ohio the hopes of the
party as a separate power in poll
tics disappear
We commend the sound common
sense and candor of the Avalanche
to the papers and would be leaders
generally of the new party move
ment. 1t is as clear as a cloudless
sun at MONDAY that the democratic
party is the sole hope of defeating
radicalism and Capitalization in
1880. Every vote drawn from the
democracy by any factor whatever
is halI vote given to the radical
party. There is no mistake about
this, and no man can fail to see it
that is not utterly blind with igno
rance or prejudice Jackson Trib.
