THE DUTY OF DEMOCRATS
Nashville Banner.

It is evident 20 compromise be-
tween the two elements of the Dem
ocratic party in Tennessee can be
effected. This being the case, it is
the duty of the State credit wing to
lose no further time, but to at once
resolve upon carrying out i'll the
most effective manner possible, all
fair and honorable means to eject
Hon. John V. Wright, and legisla-
tive aspirants of the same faith as
our distinguished nominee. We
have less than two weeks in which
to prepare for the battle Of the
ballot, and every moment is pre-
cious. The least hesitation weak
ems our chances. We must utilize
every hour and every just method
to carry the day, Everything de-
mands the triumph Of the State
credit ticket, just as it requires the
consignment TO political oblivion of
Mr.. Wilson and his demagogue col
leagues, and the most emphatic de-
nunciation by vast majority Of
freemen Of the Republican leaders
who seek to overthrow the honest
government we have built. Ten
nessee must be saved, and by the
ballots of her people. They are ex
pected to preserve their beloved
State from the ravages Of Mr.. Will
son and his co laborers in the field
of Communism, and from the clutch
es of Judge Hawkins and his re-
tinue. We do not belive that Ten
nesseans will falter in their duty.
They are equal to the work they are
asked to do, and patriotism will
render that task a pleasing one. A
great revolution in public sentiment
is going on. Our dangerous posi-
tlon is fully understood. and there
is no longer any battling between
opinions. But one thought actuates
every member of the regular Democ-
racy. and that is the defeat Of our
political enemies. There are many
who, although claiming affilation
with the Democratic party, will not
co operate with US in keeping cou'
troll of the State government. Deaf
to all conciliatory offers, aud im-
to every entreaty made in
the interest Of the party, they per-
sist in indirectly aiding the Repub-
leans to capture the State.
The immediate and thorough or
ganization of the Democratic forces,
and the exercise of HercuIean eff
forts between the present hour that
at which the polls close, will insure
the election of Judge Wright and
majority of the paxt Legislature.
Work as you never worked before. |
Urge upon every doubtful voter the
importance Of keeping Mr.. Wilson
lr Judge Hawkins from getting con-
5rol Of the Gubernatoria! reins. On
he day of election-Lhe day ON
which the most work must'be done
make every vote tell for the Demo.
;ratic ticket, and when the returns
,ome in we will have no reason 10
year looks Of defeat.

GO TO WORK T.!

The Democrats of the First Con-
gressional District have every rea.
sonable prospect to hope for the re-
election of their candidate. They
have placed before the people gen
tleman who is every way worthy of
their support. A man of the high
est integrity, capability and energy,
Robert L. Taylor, who has so sub
timely aud heroically carried the
banner of reform and justice, cannot
fail to receive, as he deserves, the
hearty support of not only the Dem
ocrats but hundreds and thousands
Of honest Republicans who are tired,
disguised and sick of the tricky per-
formances of their own party both
at home and abroad. From every
part of the district comes word Of
good cheer for Taylor Now, let
every one of his friends. from this
day till the polls close the End day
of November, ''come to the scratch"
We can see no good reason why we
cannot, by hard work. reflect Bob
Taylor next Tuesday. We can. AL. |
though to some extent demoraIized
and divided, Pettibone's supporters
are stubborn and confident. To beat
them we must be energetic and ac-
tive. Go TO work for Bob Taylor
fight his adVersaries hard-and we
will win.

Let the Democrats take heart
Our grand ole party grows and
fattens on reverses. Look now how
weak we were fifteen years ago, yet
we've had scarcely anything but re-
verses since. Our cause is just; no
party ever had a greater, purer or
worthier leader than we have in this
crisis. Let US do our duty and we
cannot fail to win next Tuesday.

The annual session of the Holston
conference of the NJ. E. Church, South,
Bishop McTyiere presiding, has been
sitting in Morristown since last Wednes-
day. 1t adjourned Monday night. We
give brief synopsis of the daily pro-
ceedings elsewhere. A finer body of
men in personal appearance and chris
tian department meyer assembled. Nor
ristown petitioned and was honored over
several older and larger towns in being
selected by the last conference for the
present, session, and our people have
shown their appreciation of the honor
by entertaining the distinguished guests
in hospitable and bounteous style and
giving them very large and appreciatiYe
audiences during the daily sessions of
the Conference, and whenever the pull
pits of the town were occupied. On
Sunday, every church in town was fill
ed to OVERLOOKING. At II o'clock, the
Bishop preached in the Methodist, DR..
McFerrin in the Baptist, and DR.. Sullins
in the Presbyterian church. At o'clock
DR.. Wiley at the Methodist and Dr. Laf-
feFty, editor of the Richmond Christian
AdvOcate, at the Baptist church. At
night, Rev. Frank Richardson filled the
Presbyterian pulpit, Rev. j. NJ. McTeer
the Baptist, and DR.. Kennedy the Meth
odlst. Never before, probably, have so
many able, eloquent and Impressive SER
mons been preached in Morristown
within the same length of time. May
they be as seed sown in good ground.
The next session of the Conference will
be held at WytheVille, Va.

''HONOR TO WHOM HONOR rs
DUE"
We take pleasure in copying, from
the Holston Methodist of Oct. 23d, the fol-
lowing handsome tribute 10 our friend,
Mr. T. A Lewis, local editor of that
paper. The compliment is richly de-
served as the readers of the Methodist
will testify. Under his supervision it
has steadily grown in favor, and its
columns have given such unmistakable
evidences OF editorial ability on the
part of Mr.. Lewis, as to make one Won
der how he so long escaped a seat on
the tripod. Now that he is there, his
readers will join us in the hope that ar
engagements will be made for securing
his comfort and continuance:
+" The Directors OF the Holston Pub
fishing Company, desire to perform an
act of simple justice in calling attention
to the excellent work of the local editor
of the H0Zst0rl Methodist Brother Lewis
entered upon his duties in January last,
at salary which is too small TO men
ton, and has faithfully labored to i'm
prove tde paper and make it worthy Of
the conference whose name it bears, and
whose organ it is. His great desire was
TO render such assistance to the editor
in chief as would cause our Holston
people to fall in love with their own
paper, and to give TO it that hearty sup
port which it deserves.
We are glad to know that his services
have been appreciated by the editor,
and by many other excellent judges.
In what he has written and selected our
brother has shown fitness for the Office
and true appreciation of his calling.
We deem it eminenuy proper that
Brother Lewis shall receive at our hands
that praise which is so justly his due.
1t is pleasing duty which we perform,
knowing as we do, that love for the
church, and love for our paper were
the motives which controlled him far
beyond any other consideration"

a very serious and painful accident
occurred TO John Croxdale, a. young
man about 10 yeafs,of age, of our town,
last Friday morning While the engine
of the Buncombe road was switching
and making up its train preparatory to
leaving, Mr.. Croxdale was in the vicin-
ity and, it seems, was requested to make
a couple--to couple the engine in front
to car; in attempting to do so, his
right foot slipped from the cow-catcher,
where he bad stepped, to the track, and
was run over by one of the front wheels
of the engine; the entire foot was mash
ed and mangled in a terrible manner,
breaking nearly every bone in it, and
causing the most circulating pain to
the unfortunate young man. Medical
aid was promptly secured and admins
tered the young man pleaded so ardent
ly with the physicians not to amputate
the foot that they desisted from doing
SO until Sunday morning, when it was
deemed expedient; the operation being
performed by Drs. Howell and Heacker
Monday morning modification was de-
tccted in the limb and a second amputa-
ton performed-taking the leg off with
in four inches of the knee joint. The
sympathies Of the community are with
Mr.. G. and the family relatives. We
trust that his recovery may be assured.

President Hayes.

The validity Of Mr.. Hayes title may
always be questioned, and his admins
tratjon criticised, but the pay of
one dollar gives valid title to one bot
lie of DR.. Picrce's Golden Medical Dis
covery, and its administration can never
be criticised in cases of coughs, colds,
incipient consumption, and general ue-
bility, for leading physicians of all
schools endorse the Discovery and pre-
scribe it in their Practice Sold by

An old and successful wheat grower
furnishes the following recipe to pre-
vent smut in wheat: Use solution of
four ounces of blue vitriol, or "blue
stone" to a gallon of warm water
when dissolved, use half a gallon to the
bushel of wheat, sprinkle it over the
heap on a tight floor and stir until every
grain is wetted, then dry it by sitting
quicklime over the heap and shovelIng
it over. The solution of blue stone a
lone is a sure preventive, but by the
use of lime you can dry the wheat ready
for sowing quicker.

Mr.. Samuel Watkins, the wealthiest
citizen of Nashville, died in that city
Saturday, the 10th, at the advanced age
of sc years. He began life as a brick
layer and did not accumulate any prop
! erty until after he was thirty years of
age. By unremitting toll and rigid
economy he amassed an immense for
tune, which was seriously impaired by
the war, as a large part of it consisted in
slave property. The value of his estate,
however, is now estimated at 5000, 00O
He never married and had but little
taste for society. He gives more than
500, 900 dollars to the city of Nashville
to build and endow in that city an insti-
tuition to be called the watkins Iusti-
tute," in which regular lectures of a
scientific and useful character shall be
delivered free of charge to the public.
The Philadelphia Times thinks that
some of the NEST humorous campaign
literature of this year is furnished in the
correspondence between Secretary Shcr-
man and Senator Hampton. 1t says the
country can calmly listen to Secretary
Sherman calling Senator Hampton a
Ku-Klux, and to Senator Hampton de-
nouncing Secretary Sherman as a liar;
but when John Sherman, with his Re-
turning Board record, and Wade Hamp-
ton, from the tissue ballot State, get to
reviewing before the country as champ
ions of the purity of the ballot it is
little too much for human Solemnity.
Senator Hampton need not suppose that
he is going to hurt Secretary Sherman's
feelings very much by calling him a
liar. The Secretary has been reckless
enough in his career as POLITICIAN to
invite this kind of thing, and he has be-
come accustomed to 1t. Liar is not
now, if it ever has been, with him
fighting word, and Senator Hampton
will doubtless be discouraged to find
that his fine frenzy has been turned to
campaign account by Secretary Shcr
man, who always makes the most out of
every thing, There will be no duel,
Sherman fights with his tongue, which
may hit at long range, but is not fatal,
while Hampton, who can't get Sherman
within range of anything effective, is at
a disadvantage.
