no trick or sleight-of-hand is used TO
change the representation. We did
not learn by what means this end was
TO be brought about. only that it was
to be done in some sly, cunning way.
We set out with a disbelief in its
truthfulness, although assured of ii in
the most positive manner by a trust
worthy source; and Of one thing we
are certain, and that is, the belief OF
its truthfulness by u informant.
His sympathies are with the plotters,
but being a fair-minded, honorable
man, be unhesitatingly denounces the
conspiracy, knowing that like the
boomerang, it will turn upon its au-
thors and destroy them, and possibly
the party with them. Let us do all
things open and above board, have no
scheming, and then no trouble will
ensue. Anything to the contrary will
be as certain as fate to bring two dem
ocratic candidates for governor in the
field, and any one who runs may read
the result Of such a misfortune.
In an especial manner should the
state executive committee be careful
to avoid any seeming partiality to-
wards either section or faction of the
party. They are selected from the
democratic party to represent the
whole organization, and not a part of
it, aud the moment they are detected
scheming for the overthrow of either
wing that moment their influence is
forever gone. We hope, and believe,
they are free from any such maneuv-
We know them to be gentle
men Of honor and probity, aud would
not for a moment, accept as true, any
to the contrary without the
most incontestible proof.
We have seen nothing to justify it
and do not think for a moment but
that they will fairly and truly repre-
sent the democratic party Of Tennes-
see as an entirety.

A PROPHEsY
The Capture of the Nashville
Convention of August 10Th
PrearraDged.

Nashville SUM-
Appended, our readers will notice
an article from the Nashville Banner,
OF July 2Sth, foreshadowing exactly
what occurred in the railroad cOnven-
tiou which nominated Judge Wright.
How true the prediction, none knows
better than our contemporary, whom
we regret lacked the courage and in
dependence to ventilate the outrage
Gus fraud practiced upon the trusting
md unsu,pecting people. The Ban.
uer now says none out office seekers
utter the same cry which they were
first 10 make.
FAIR PLAY, GENTLEMEN.
We have heard ore thing to day
that we earnestly trust is not SO. If
it is true, farewell TO all our hopes of
hlrmony and Cancellation in the Au-
gust convention. Although we learn
Ell it from a seemingly reliable and
Trustworthy source, we are strongly
inclined to disbelieve it. If it is true
we must acknowledge there is more
treachery in politics than has ever
been dreamed of in our philosophy.
The report, as it comes to US. is that
a certain set ofmen, some of them be
longing to the state executive commit
tee, are corresponding with partisans
in every county in the state, and so
arranging matters that their friends
will be selected quietly and "unbe-
knownst" in the primary elections,
thus taking advantage of the trusting,
unsuspeciing opposition, who, believ-
ing everything is being conducted on
tar principles, is watching nothing
md doing nothing 10 prevent IL. In
th way they expect to get control Of
The convention and manipulate it to
suit their designs, regardless Of the
wishes Of any n who may, however,
have a large majority at the polls.
While everything is fair in war and
love, this sort Of procedure would, if
true, bear bitter fruit indeed 10 the
party, and the sweet looking apples of
success be more bitter than the fruit
o. Sodom. When the party that thus
becomes tied hand and foot in the
convention awakes 10 the fraud that
is being perpetrated on it, no n can
Hresee the ruinous objects upon tho
stare. As W. said in the outset
We do not believe such a
course could be pursued in the
face Of a fair agreement, to
have the will OF the people to govern
the convention. While it is perfectly
fair to get all the votes possibly, Justly
done, it would not be SO to slip in by
wire working and party management.
so that a largo portion OF the party
would be virtually d~isfranchised. and.
their wishes ignored altogether. Let
US have a fair expression Of the will
Of the people, whatever that will may
be, and not attempt to pervert il by
any unfair means, for If We expect TO
have unity and harmony in the party.
every one must be satisfied hat his
views are fairly presented, and Ii t

Late Charges.

PHILADELPHIA, October 1.-THE
advertisement in the New York Herald
Of October 4, over the signature Of
Mrs. Garry Newton, of Philadelphia,
offering TO transfer pOssessio ola pre-
possessing girl Of II years to whoever
would pay over 5000 to Mrs. Newton
to reimburse her for the care she had
bestowed upon the adopted girl, caused
an investigation at the time, and as a
result the society to protect children
from cruelty has an interesting case on
its hands. An interview with Mrs.
Brown, otherwise the Carrie Newton
OF the advertisement, who had resided
at 607 South Ninth street, disclo ed
that the girls name was Frances Leola
Morris, born in 1867 in Indiana. Her
parents removed to Milwaukee. Wis,
where her mother died. The father
placed Frances in an orphan asylum
and there the Browns found her while
searching for a suitablecbild for adop.
ton. The parties we're mutually
pleased with each other aud the asylum
people offered no obstacle to the re.
moval Of Frances, who was not, how
ever, formally adopted by the Browns.
They CANE to this city, but recently
underwent reverses and sought to dis
pose OF their prOtege TO some respon
sible person who possessed the sum
asked, which was considered as a sort
of equivalent for the expense of her
maintenance The interview and adj
vertisement were copied into the Mil.
waukee papers and there met the eyes
of the ladies composing the board of
managers of the orphan asylum, who
were naturally shocked that the
Browns should attempt to make mer-
chandise of the girl they had taken
the asylum and seemed so much
attached to. The o Of the lady
