Editors fntslliEsneer.
| A gentleman from Oil City, Pa, repre-
sentinga wealthy company Of that place,
has leased several tracts Of land in this
Immediate vicinity and will begin boring
for oil soon. The prospects for this town
becominga great oil city are very aattei-
ing.
The report from Basnettsyille that
corpse had been exhumed and robbed Of
Its clothing, proves to be false.
Warrington district will send three
delegates to the Wheeling Convention,
and It has been ascertained that they are
all for the silent man. The Pllmed
knight will doubtless capture the rest OF
the delegates from this county.
Complaint Is heard quite often against
the 3. e O. K. r. for removing the tele-
graph office from here. The business in
terests OF our town demand that it be re.
turned. Other towns OF much less impor-
tance are favored in this respect, notwith-
standing they pay nothing In the way OF
freights in comparison TO the amount
paid at this station. The shipments OF
cattle, grain, lumber and produce are i'm.
mense. We have tannery that ships to
different points in the country $1,000 sides
Of oak sole leather annually, and the
hides from which that leather Is manufac.
tured nearly all comes over the u. & o.
R. K. Considering the importance Of
Warrington generally, 1t is quite appar.
ent that the railroad company does not
give us "fair shake"
Marion county is enthusiastic for the fu-
sion. Two years ago the Republicans
fused with the Greenbackers, and while
they gained nothing particularly for them
selves, they had the satisfaction OF de.
feating the Bourbons, and they will gladly
fuse and "thuse" to accomplish the same
result again. GEORGE.

HAYES NOMINATION..
A Hint That the Chicago Convention May
Turn TO Him ns n Dark Horse.

Turn 10 Him ms n Dark Horse.
WASHINGTON, May 4.-The Star tonight
says edltorially that "while it is true that
Hayes long ago announced that he would
not be a candidate for reelection, he would
not be likely to refuse a nomination
should his party tender 1t to him. Its
not improbable, either, that the Chicago
Convention may turn to the present in
cumbent as It's standard bearer. The
votes in the Convention may be so divided
among Grant, Blaine and Sherman as to
prevent either from getting the nomina'
ton, and then there would naturally fol-
low some sort OF a compromise. In cast
ing about for a dark horse with the best
running capacity, attention would be di,
the very fact that there Is nothing tc
criticise or condemn in It's four years o
government would constitute strong
point in favor Of giving 1t another trial.

THE NEXT LEGIsLATURE.

Ordinarily this time of the year
would be rather early to begin to
discuss and plan for the nomination
for members of the next legislature,
but we take it that all acknowledge
that this is no ordinary crisis in the
history of politics in Tennessee.
Next winter must see our much
mixed state debt question made
clear. 1t must witness the triumph
of honesty and good faith or the
victory of reputation and dishonor.
1t must see the skirts of Tennessee
cleansed from the stain that is
already upon them or it must behold
them blackened beyond publication.
If the state credit men do not
conquer in the next fight it is ex-
tremely probable that their defeat
will be such that recovery is impos-
sible. When the scheme of repu,
diation was first preached it's adyo-
Gates were in contemplate mi
nority. We all know how they have
increased, until now they number
not less than $4,000 Of the voters
of Tennessee. The great crime
was of such hideous mien that only
one glance was needed to despise it,
but artfal decorations and constant
presence has turned much of that
loathing into love. Every time the
cowardly policy Of the democratic
leaders caused them to dodge the issue
was victory for the repudiationists
and much gaining has made them
bold. Formerly, they demanded
an inch now they want the ell.
Formerly, they were content with
small enoluments now they de-
mand the highest places in the gift
Of the people. This command Is not
