THE TENNESSEE I;EPUDIATORS

Tennessee politics arc not running
very smoothly. Some years ago the
stale issued, in behalf railroad
companies, certain bonds, and only
few days ago the United States

railroad companies can not be held
responsible, and that the state must

not i'll favor, of population, but
of compelling The railroad CONF
panics to pay these bonds. The
court decision, therefore. knocks the
low tax platform out from under
those who have stood upon il. and
now they must abandon their posi-
ton, or occupy that of real repudi-
ators. 1t was Thought by the reg
ular Democrats, who, like those of
Arkansas, are in favor of
the state paving its obliga-
tons, that the low tax boilers
would return 10 their old party
allegiance, but it appears they are
mistaken, and that the low-taX par
ty is more determined than ever to
keep ticket in the field. The Hw-
tax men declare that the courts Ie-
cision has made them more DEER
mined than ever and that they in
tend 10 fight The political battle
through. They have virtually de-
clarcd in favor Of rcpt.diation, and
are row ligh,ing under that banner.
They are in the minority, howe. cr,

HOW 1T CAME ABOUT.


Judge Smith desires ii to be stated
that election matters were not con-
sidered by the commissioner court
until the May term; that ii had not
come TO the understanding of the
court. atpeculiar changes had been
made in the election law by the Six
tccnih Legislature. and that he and
the other members of the court
thought the old apportionmcnt of
election places in the different cleo
ton precincts. would hold Is hereto
fore established. The question was
brought 10 the attention of the court
az lis May term. and il was then too
late. under the existing law. to make
more than one voting place in each
election precinct. Under the head
OF Election" chap. /. art. 1862,
reads:
The rlection ur. cincts OF the coUn-
tie as now established. shall C"nstl-
tutc election precincts, out the com
'ui>aioncr's cour- a. each count.
I:iay, NJ the first regular term % saiu
court for each yr.i'. change Or dis
continue amy election precinct. or
establish new precinct or pSccincts.
5 10 said court may seem cNpcdi-
cni.
Art 666 reads:
There shall he designated bv order
of The commissioners court. one
place within each election precinct
at which all elections in said pre-
cinct shall he held.
The law being obligatory, and, not
being understood i'll time. Judge
Smith presents this ~ an excise for
the hardship imposed upon voters.
The designation of voting
places should have been made
at the February term. bat
having passed without the court
comprchending the requirements OF
the law, there was no remedy. 1t is
wrong To question the intention Of
Judge Smith in this matter and ii
can be attributed alone IL abScnse
of information. Judge Smith eN-
presses regret that the change i'll the
law was not brought Ia his knoWl-
edge early enough to prevent the
evil. but us the matter stands. many
voters are certainly subjected to the
greatest Inconvenience. and all that
they can do is to make the best of it
and go TO the polls on election day
and vote the straight Democratic
ticket.

Dastnrdly Attempt by Incendiaries.
 OTTAWA, Oct. IA diabolical attempt was made, Saturday evening, to blow up and burn the court house in this place, undoubt- edly for the purpose of destroying the court records The fire had been started in the vault, and several record books piled up ill it were so badly burned as to be of no use whatever Several cans of kerosene, two kegs of powder and nitro glycerine and a torpedo were discovered by tho firemen who entered first. If this material had been ig- nited, the building would have been de- stroyed and several lives lost. The cells of a dozen or more prisoners in the jail were just beneath where the fire started, and all would have perished. Certain parties are suspected, but further evidence will be nec- essary before any arrests can be made.

The party will leave at 1O:45 on the Air Line road for Middletown, and on arriv- ing there will proceed to Portland and visit the brown stone quarries Thence the party will return to Middletown and take omnibuses for the granite quarries some four miles dis tant. This place will be reached about two o'clock and after lunch the party will gath CT specimens and study the rock formations there. Middletown will be reached on the return about half past four and there will be some two hours or more before the train leaves for New Haven. Many will doubtless improve this time to visit the Wesleyan Uni versity buildings. The present indications are that large party will go. Fare to Mid dletown and return 50 cents. This is a re- duction of nearly one half in the rates.

It was deci- ded to leave the matter in the hands of the delegates, Hill and Watson. who will confer with the officers of the Harvard and Prince ton.teams at Springfield soon. It was voted to leave the present funds in the bank until the season is over, and then to give the sur plus of this seasons earnings, together with all but $1OO of the money now on hand, to- wards the purchase of the new athletic grounds.
