A Mailman Seeking to Grasp the Gov
eminent,

Ulysses g. Grant Is man driven
mad by ambition. Ho now seeks to
grasp the government Of the United
States-a thing unprecedcnted-for II
third term. To accomplish his purpose
he resorts to methods heretofore I'M
practiced in American politics, Such
methods will be condemned by the
neral sentiment of the American peo-
pie.
High-handed have been the assump-
tons of the Grant clique in New York
and Pennsylvania and now still moro
desperate arc the means they adopt i'll
Illinois.
1t is well; at least we think it will
be well in the end.
Can the American people be robbed
Of their right to choose their own Pres,
Ident? In other words, can they be
deprived of their liberties? Will they
tamely submit to haYe Cameron, Conk.
ling and Logan, or any other three
men, dictate to them whom they shall
have for Presinent?
The issue is now made more simple
and plain than ever.
Americans of grit, of blood, of self
respect! Rise and redeem your rights
and your liberties! The great MAORI
ty of you are better men than Grant
who seeks to be your Emperor Of
King!
Down with him!
Vote him down at the pools
Consign him to eternal and cOndigI
involun AIRY retirement.

senator David Davis Speaks.

The constitution wisely defines the
respective limits offcdcral and Of sta:e
governments under Il happy and har-
mOninus system wherein each is indie
pendent in its appropriate sphere and
both operate cnncurrcntly To protect
the integrity and stability of the I'm
ion. Any encroaChmem of one on
the distinctive domain Of the other
necessarily disclocates the machinery Of
the constitution and involves danger To
the whole body pnlitic. In fact every
departure from the great charter of
liberty and law Is attended with peril.
The demand made by the adherents of
one of the great parties for strong
government means substantially cen
tr;ilized government, destructive Of
home rule in the states, and the very
reverse Of what Mr.. Lincoln well de
scribed as "a government Of the peo-
pie" Carried to its logical conclu-
sion, such change would finally over
throw the republic.
An innovation upon sanctificd tradi-
tons of the presidency, first established
by the example of Washington, is ur-
gently demanded by powerful inter
est in the Republican patty, if the linz
itation of two terms, heretofore univer.
sally accepted, be destroyed, the way
to self-pcrpetuated presidency will be
opened by use and abuse of enormous
public patronage. Break down this
barrier and an end Of the experiment
of republican government looms ur
darkly as the cost Of Il fatal conccs
sion.
The rapid growth of corporate power
and the malign influence which it ex.
erts by combination on national anC
state legislature is well-groundet
cause of alarm. 4 struggle is impend
ing in the near future between over
grown power with its vast ramifica
tons all over the Union and a hare
grip on much of the political machin
cry on one hand, and the people in III
unorganized condition on the other

Last Saturday after the conven-
ton adjourned, L. X. Riddick,
Esq, Of Somerville, was invited
to address the people. He said
that he did not intend to make a
regular political speech, but only
to mention some facts that should
be considered before the coming
campaign opened. He argued that
national affairs demand the sagest
counsel of our best men and are
of higher Importance to the PEG.
pie than mere local and State af.
fairs. The Republicans are
threatening the integrity of our
institutions and would swallow
up the interests and rights of the
States in the merciless NAV OF
Capitalization. He referred to
the inroads upon the old Consti,
tuition and the recent increased
power given the Fedral courts.
Put them in power and they
would deprive the States of the
chance to repudiate their debts.
The Republicans are progressive
and we have to watch them with
ceaseless vigilance. He claimed
that the State debt question is
not now properly before the peo,
pie. 1t is in the hands of the
court and until a decision is
made, the matter is question of
no political interest and hence it
cannot be rightly drawn into the
coming campaign. Mr.. Riddick

Fayette County Democracy.

At a recent convention held in Som
erville, of the Fayctte County Demo
Gratis, the following resolution was
adopted without a dissenting voice:
BE 1t ResOLued, That while the De.
mOcray of Fayette County during the
coming canvass expect to support, as
heretofore, the party nominee for Con
gress and all offices with their united
enthusiasm and zeal, yet as the Con.
gresham has been given to Shelby
county ever since the formation of the
present congressional district, and as
no Democrat of Fayette or Harde-
man County has been nominated for
that position since the war, and as
Shelby County has in the National
Legislature, an able and efficient rep
tentative in Senator Harris, we re-
specttully submit to our fellow citizens
Of Shelby that the Congressional nom
ination should be conceded to either
Hardeman or Fayette County, and we
unanimously present to the Congress
sional Convention the name of L. X.
RIDD1CK, Esq, Of Fayette, as our
choice for that nomination and we
cordially indOrse him as man of abili-
ty, of high moral character and in
every way worthy and fitted for the
position, and in the event he is nomi-
mated we pledge ourselves TO extraor-
binary efforts to carry this County for
him by the largest majority it has ever
given to any candidate for a political
office.

THE FAYETTE DEMOCRACY,
Recommending r. X. Riddick for
Congress.

ls'"orvlllo FaIcon.
The resolution passed by the con-
vention recommending T. X. Riddick,
Esq, as the Democratic candidate for
Congressman from this district meets
with the hearty endorsement of the
Falcon. The reasons urged why Fay
cite county should be entitled to the
Congressman are cogent and speak
with such evident fairness that Shelby
county should not and we hope will
not deny Il claim so justly made. The
Fayette county Democray makes this
request of their fellow Democrats in
Shelby with more confidence because
her former requests of this nature
have been granted with such courteous
alacrity. These demands have been
remarkably modest and in all their
political relations Fayette has shown
disposition to yield the preference to
her more populous neighbor. Only
twice in ten year has Fayette county
made Il claim for the offices voted for
by the people of both counties-thc
foater in II ard the State Senator in
'76-and ON both occasions the requests
were granted without hesitation. Ven
ture the assertion that no people i'll
the State have done more faithful and
Jealous work for the party and asked
80 little at its hands us those of Fay
cite county. We now respectfully
submit that these services should be
recognized by according to them the
Congressman and they challenge The
closest scrutiny into the fitness anC
availibalty Of the candidate they pre-
sent. To our readers in Fayette il
would be entirely superhuous to say
anything of the personal history anc
character of Mr.. Riddick. Native
and to manor born, he is well knowI
to every citizen i'll the county. T,
those who live in other portions of thu
district we would say that he is a MAJ
of superior intellectual qualifications
decided force ofcharactGr and consum
mate ability as lawyer. When quit,
young his talents brought him to til,
front rank of his profession and 70
several years past he has been q lead
ing member of the bar III this place
He is staunch Democrat, has don
efficient service on the Executive Com
mittee in this county for several year
and has always demonstrated an earn
est zeal in the party cause. We are con
fident in the assertion that he coult
carry Fayette county by n nue.
larger vote than any other possibl
nominee and this fact alone make
him very available candidate. Tn
district could not be more ably repre-
scented in Congress and we hope to Sc
his claim favorably considered by til
: Forthcoming convention.

The present is critical period
for the Democratic party. In a
little over two weeks the nation
al convention Will meet in Gin
matt. The future Of the Dcmoc-
racy, for fortune or failure, Will
then be determined. II the
delegates to that great conference
viii act wisely. the party may
succeed in lis long struggle for
the control of the Government.
For, though the Democrats bad
a majority in both houses of Con
gress, they are still but an oppo-
sitiOn, so long as the Executive
and the administrative de-
partments are held by the other
side. 1t is now possible for the
Democratic leaders to achieve a
complete political victory under
the Constitutions such Il victory as
was won by the Liberal party in
England. On the other hand, il
is within the power Of the conven.
ton to ruin the party beyond the
possibility Of recovery. 1t there
fore behOOves Democratic states
men and managers, and particu-
larly those of the South, to lool
the situation in the face and to ac'
with discretion and firmness.

THE GOYERNORSHIP.

The general draft OF State al
fairs demands a higher order Of
craftsmanship among those who
are called to- direct public inter
cst5. More availability is not the !
essential requisite in candidates |
who aspire to positions Of high |
public trust. This false standard |
of fitness has fastened too many |
weak and mediocre men upon |
the people. Such policy in the |
choice of representative men Is
injustice to the grave matters en-
trusted to their control and most |
discreditable to the intelligence
of the voters.
Merely to elect man regard
less of his personal and political
fitness, simply because he can be
elected, is worse than defeat.
Governments suffer in the hands
of such men. They trim along
through their term of Office never
measuring up tosthesaltitude and
dignity of the current matters
brought TO their attention. They
wear unhonored the hOnors of
Office and clutch the emOluments
utterly unable to grasp the ques-
tons chief in public thought.
Those great, tall men Of the
past, who stamped the impress of
their matchless worth upon state
and national affairs, were not
trimmey6, timc-servcrs and mere
available party-men; but were Of
heroic mould, chosen for intellec-
tual vigor, ripe experience, I'M
spotted personal character, sig
nally conscientious and untOuch-
cd by peculation or the slime of
Office. These men tOiled for
the good of their fellows and
Heaven granted them a recon-
pense of fame.
Tennessee has great men in
private life whose services should
be utilized. They do not and can
not thrive on the fat and perfume
of rings, but still they are in de
mand. The times need them.
Among those of our gifted and ex.
perienced statesmen who would
invest the Executive chair of Ten,
nessee with the official aroma OF
the best days of the Republic, is
that noble Roman, Geo. W.JOnes
of Fayetteville. He has convic
tons and the grit to pursue them.
Such a character at this hour is an
anomaly. Such Il public man is
rare.
When in Congress, Samuel J.
Randall was forced to acknOwI
edge that of all the public mer
before the country, Geo. Jones
was chief among those who hat
clear cut opinions on all measures
and the high-ordered, irreprOach
able manliness, to maintain then
and who won for himself the con
1idence Of even a bitter Oppo
sition. Moreover, he has always
been opposed to a State incurrin&
any Indebtedness whatever. HI
thus stands in an acceptable
light with the Low-TaX party anC
the State Credit party would re
joice to have such a patriot ant
statesman take hold of the helm
of State and guide the old shiI
amid the quicksands and treach
erous edIyings environing he
way. They would trust his heat
and heart and follow his plum
wherever it waves.
There may be some ambition
