Gone Garfield.

The following dispatch from
Chattanooga to the Cincinnati Com
mercial Zone of the bitterest and
most vindictive republican papers
in the country shows how the
teachings of Savage and Wilson are
driving their followers into the rad
ical camp. The recusant demo
Gratis mentioned below are Wilson
men and have been prominently
identified with the boiling move
ment. Low tax democrats of Giles
cOunty-thOse of you who honest
ly differ with us on the state debt
question, but who are loyal to dem
ocratic principles-can't you see
to what dangerous lengths an
abandonment of the regular or
ganization of your party in this
hour of peril may lead you. Read
the following and be warned in
time.
There was large and ,enthusias
tic crowd at the Garfield and Ar
thur club meeting to night, adj
dressed by Hon. Lewis Shepherd, q
prominent democrat and leading
lawyer, who announced his sever
ance from the democratic party and
approval of republican principles.
Shepherd was voted for strongly
in The democratic convention for
presidential elector, and served as
prominent democratic member of
the state legislature.
Mr.. c. c. Snyder, a member of
the democratic county committee,
also addressed the club, announc
ing his adhesion to the republican
party as the only one which pre-
scented honest and consistent politi-
cal principles.
Mr.. Otto Fischer, attorney; Hon.
w. J. Gift, a Tilden elector, and re-
Gently q prominent democrat; Col
w. G. Dewitt. a leading attorney,
well known throughout the state,
are also announced as having left
the democratic party. Cliff and De
Witt viii probably take the stump.
Great excitement prevailed over
this wholesale desertion of the
democratic party. The canvass in |
this state is most interesting, and |
proper effort would elect a United |
States senator. The democrats are |
hopelessly divided.
The election Of Hawkins, Repub.
lican, for governor, is universally |
conceded, and in nearly every legis-
lative district there are two or more
democratic candidates. The Ma
tional committee should turn its at
tention to Tennessee; great work
can be done.

A Card from Judge Wright.

Columbia Herald: | find that a
statement made by one of the re-
porters of the Memphis Ledger, to
the effect that while l was a mem.
Der of congress l introduced bill
to increase the pay of members of
congress, is being circulated in this
county. When | first saw the
statement l went to the reporter
and told him it was false and asked
him to correct, and he said he
would do so also told Mr.. S. +.
Wilson that the statement was
false, and be agreed with me, as he
knew 1t was false 1 also called
the attention Of Mr.. Mathes, the
editor of the Ledger, to the false
statement when l met him at Col
liersville, and he promised me to
correct it. l now state that | never
introduced such a bill, that when it
was introduced and came to vote
l voted against 1t, and on the call
of yeas and nays the journals of
congress so show. The whole
thing, from the beginning to the
end, is false, and those who stated
it knew it was false when they
said so.

Special to the American.

Special to the American.
MEMPHIS, Oct, 25.-It is now
conceded by even the strongest OF
Wilson's supporters that Wright is
fast gaining adherents in this and
adjoining counties. Wright will
carry Memphis by 5000 majority
over Wilson. This revolution OF
public sentiment is due mainly to
the belief that there is a secret un
Outstanding between Col. John H.
Savage and the republican mana
gers that Wilson is to be kept on
the track, and in the event of Haw
kin's election the republicans, if
not strong enough themselves to
elect a republican senator, will join
with the Wilson men in the legisla-
ture and send Col. Savage to the
United States Senate. 1t has
leaked out that several of the So
called Wilson democrats, who are
candidates for Legislative honors,
will not, in the event of cleo
ton, go into the regular democratic
caucus.

Senator BayArd is not discour-
aged by the result in Indiana.
This is what he said to a Philadel
phia reporter a few days since
Il believe and have always be
lieved, that Gen. Hancock typifes
to the American people a high
toned, patriotic and lovable senti-
ment. 1 think they love him be
cause he represents all that is gal
liant and true and clean handed and
upright. The affection which they
have for him l might denominate a
justified hero worship. l believe
that this feeling must strike down
deep among the American people,
irrespective of campaign arguments,
issues, torchlight professions and
barrels of money. He has taken
hold of the popular feeling,
and That is why he has strength of
his own. Without his intending
it, he is a force in politics, and the
people have made him so. This
force is entirely distinct from that
OF machine politicians or the usual
method of drumming up votes. l
shall not be satisfied that the
American people will reject Han
cock until l see it done. This
feeling of mine is independent of
my party position. 1 think the
American people are a generous
people and sympathize thoroughly
with men whom thew believe to be
of Gen. Hancock's type"

The Memphis Avalanche says
Tennessee virtually repudiated five
years ago, and has since remained a
repudiating state. That is to say,
the state has refused to pay the in
terest on the debt. The debt and
interest still remain unpaid. Dur
ing this repudiating era of five
years the value o: property has de-
creased 100000. The value of
property has decreased $55,0O0,00O
since the state tax was reduced to
ten cents three years ago. The re
pudiation organs are requested to
cast up the net profit to the people
of Tennessee OF repudiating a debt.
that could be settled at less than
$20.0O0,000, while the value of the
real property is steadily decreasing
under the repudiating policy at the
rate of over Sl5,OO0,0OO per an
nun.

The Memphis Appeal, very mild
paper which has all along favored
the submission of any settlement of
the state debt to the people, now
estimates Wilson's vote at only
10000, although it placed it at a
much higher figure two weeks ago.
1t says: 1.-TWO weeks ago we placed
Wilson's vote at 10000. but he is
rapidly losing strength, rs boilers

Attention. Democrats!

Nashville Banner, 2Ist.
Last night, Mr.. w. ID. Covington
one of the boilers candidates foI
the Legislature, from this county
stated IN the ninth ward, that fifty
Wilson Democrats in this city
would vote for Garfield for the pur-
pose of getting votes for Wilson,
and that the bottom was Knocked

the people from voting for the par
" that cares so little for the sue
cess of the National Democracy as
to endanger its success by swapping
its gallant leader for a local office.

their Democracy. Are they true
Democrats?

Nashville American: We met a
gentleman from New York, yester
day, after having written our views
concerning the democratic chances
in the East. He not only confirm
ed that view, but declared that New
York, Connecticut and New Jersey
would as surely vote together for
Hancock as the day OF election
came. Said he, l am surprised at
the disposition of your people to
lose hope. The defeat OF Landers
will have no such effect in the
East"

StiIIThey Come.

GAINESVILLE Tobacco Leaf: We
have glorious news from Robertson
county. The people are beginning
to see the full drift of the repudia-
ton movement and are unwilling to
run off after a policy which could
but disgrace the state. Mr.. John
Dunn, one of the most influential
men in Robertson county, says that
in his district alone out of % men
who have heretofore been consider
ed wrong, he can find sixteen who
will vote the straight ticket. Not
only is it the case in that district,
but is the case all over the county.
The people are beginning to under
stand, and will vote according to
the dictates of their conscience, and
not follow the blind prejudice en-
kindled by the aspiring politician.

A United States Senator will be
elected by the next legislature and
that body will also be charged with
the work of redistricting the
state under the census of 1850.
The Shiny trail of Horace Maynard,
the vilest traducer of the south that
ever derived sustenance from her
soil, creeps in the direction of Bal
iey's seat, and the collision of dis
affected democrats with radical
plotters threatens Democratic as
tendency IN the General Assembly.
The loss Of a Democratic Senator
from Tennessee may wipe out our
majority in the u. ). Senate, and if
the republicans are allowed to ger
rymander the congressional dis
tricts they may arrange them so
as 20 secure a majority of the Ten
nessee delegation in the House Of
Representatives for the next tea
years. Think of this. democrats,

In Tennessee, under the law OF
1874, no liquor can be sold within
four miles of an incorporated school
of learning, unless located in an
incorporated town or city. The
friends of temperance are taking
advantage of the enactment in
some portions of Shelby county by
securing charters of incorporation
tor schools in their neighborhood,
in all cases near some little village
where the inebriating fluid is dis
pensed.

JOHN V. WRIGHT.
Changes from Wilson to Wright

Special to the American.
BOLIVAR, Oct, :23, 1851 have
travelled over the southern portion
of this county and find a great
change from Wilson TO Wright, to
further guarantee the defeat of
Hawkins. The change is due to an
honest desire to aid the democracy
in retaining the control of the
state government; due to the state
ment of Col. Hamilton, of Memphis,
the republican candidate for con-
gress, whoS.in speeches at Middle
ton and elsewhere, said: "Pll be
honest to say, voted against the
so proposition, because l wanted
to divide the democratic party, so
as to destroy it and give the repub-
licans control of the state legisla-
ture, by electing Hawkins Govern,
or and Maynard to the United
State senate" In his discussion
with Hon. Casey Young here, to
night, Hamilton reiterated this
statement.
The Pulaski citizen. [volume] (Pulaski, Tenn.) 1866-current, 1880-10-28

Every sign on the political hori-
zon indicates that Wright is by
long odds the strongest democratic
candidate for governor. From
every section of the State comes the
cheering intelligence that he is
steadily gaining ground, while Will
sons followers are dropping off by
the hundreds. Loyal democrats of
the "low-tax" persuasion are be-
ginning to see that Wright repre-
sents the regular organization of
their party and that mis- defeat
means two years of Republican rule.

Horace Maynard, the most invet-
crate and malignant villifier of the
south that breathes, is neglecting
his duties as Postmaster General
to canvass Tennessee for the U. S.
Senatorship. He sees a chance OF
securing a Legislature favorable to
his claims and is working like a
beaver for the position. Do Ten
nessee democrats want to see this
cadaverous and lean visaged CassI
US representing their state in the
senate? We believe not, and for
that reason we admOnish them to
to be careful how they vote for
men for the Legislature who are not
sound to the core and whose devo-
ton to the party is beyond the
reach of suspicion.
The Pulaski citizen. [volume] (Pulaski, Tenn.) 1866-current, 1880-10-28

Mr.. Wilson's election, even if
such a thing were possible, would
result in the destruction OF dem
ocratic organization in Tennessee
and deprive the party of that cohe-
sive force which for so long has en-
abled it to keep radicalism in sub
lection.

The Avalanche saws: Memphi

The Avalanche says: Memphis
was a rural village of 5000 inhabi
tants when the money was borrowed
to build the railroads that have
been the chief factors in making
Memphis a city of 10000 inhabi-
tants. Not a dollar of that Dor
rowed money has been repaid to the
lender. And yet there are citizens
in Memphis to-day who are op
posed to repaying a dollar of it.
