True Democracy.

Thomas Jefferson is the rcputed
father of Democracy, and we give
below his definition of a Democrat:
Mr.. jefferson, eighty years ago, de-
fined a Democrat, one who maintains
"equal and exact justice to all men ;
the support of the State Governments
in all their rights; the preservation of
the General Government in its whole
constitutional vigor; jealous care of
the right of election by the people /;
absolute acquiescence in the decisions
Of the majority; the supremacy of
the civil over the military authority (;
economy in the public expense; the
honest payment of our debts,
and sacred preservation of the public
faith; freedom of religion; freedom
of the press; freedom of the person
under the protection of the habeas
corpus, and trial by juries impartially
selected.

Congressional.

We had very pleasant chat with
Thomas l.. Williams, Esq, the Demo-
cratic candidate for Congress in this
District, while he was in town last
Monday.
Mr.. Williams is in good spirits, and
feels that with united pull, strong
pull and pull altogether, he can beat
HOuk.
There certainly can be no better
time for the Democracy to succeed.
Everything is in its favor, and we
should use every effort to redeem this
District.
There will be two Republican can
didates, and with the abuse they can
heap upon each other, and the truths
they can tell about themselves, will
open the peoples eyes and they will
seek a man who has a reputation
above suspicion. That man the De-
mocracy presents to them in the per-
son Of Thomas L. Williams.
Let us all WORK for the election of
Williams.

Judge Hawkins and Col. Edwards,
the Republican and Greenback candi-
dates for Governor, spoke at this
place on Monday.
We were somewhat surprised at
the demonstration made by our Re-
publican friends. They went out to
meet the Republican candidate for
Governor, and as they PASSED our
sanctum we took the liberty TO count
them. Including the head Of the
procession, tile candidate and his
driver, the cOlored Brass Band and
the rag-tag and bob-tail which came
after the Band wagon, we counted 70
persons in the procession.
How the mighty have fallen! Just
think, and call back the procession
that went out to meet Maynard when
he and Ethridge spoke here. 1t makes
one feel good to sec the difference be-
tween then and now. Then, the par
ty was united and overbearing, ready
to do anything necessary to success,
no matter what, Now they 90 about
the streets like mourncrs. They are
as gentle as lambs, and they have no
enthusiasm.
The idea of "LOyal Hount" turning
out only Is good loyal men, black and
white, to meet the Republican candi-
date for Governor, is a good sign, that
the party in this section is on its last
legs. 1t shows concluslvely that the
"bloody shirt" has been laid on the
shelf, and when that is done the Re-
publicans Of Blount have nothing
they can rally to.
Let the good work go on as it has
begun, and Hancok and English will
carry loyal Blount" with ease.

There are several things preferable TO

Murfreesboro News (State-crediD :
Harmony is a mighty good thing if it

State government by showing that it
has a policy az TO State affairs. If it
has not what is 1t for?
Pulaski Herald (State-credit): The

Mcmphis Avalanche (Statc-cTcdi0:
The Democrats cannot avoid the State
debt issue. The people will force it
upon them. An attempt to postpone
it will be a miserable failure and will
result in the defeat Of any candidate

Gallatin Examiner (Statc-credit):

masked dancer in the harlequin pan

the State debt a mere "lOcal" issue
that must not be brought into the
canvass, is dishonest.
Jackson Tribune and Sun (State-
credit: When the question is in
shape for action the Democrats can
settle it, as they would have done long
ago but for the league between repu-
diation Democrats and their Republi-
can allies. Democrats must pay the
taxes, and they prefer to make the
settlement,
Shelbyville Commercial (Repudia-

seeing and knowing that a large ma
jority of said wing do not want him
reelected, he would not be putting
himself forward for reelection. He's
the tool of the bOndholders and rail
road wing of the party.
Humboldt Argus (Greemback): The
Huntingdon Vindicator says "Gov.
Marks is not any too popular with the
Democrats of Carroll county. AS
rule they regard him as a demagogue,
and a man who lacks stamina to carry
out his own convictions" And yet
the editor admits that if he is nomi-

they can be counted on to vote for
