THE CAMPAIGN DAILY
CHRONICLE.

We intend to make the CHROME
Gle the best newspaper in East
Tennessee, as we have been doing,
and while we expect to make it re~
publican to the core, at the same
time we intend to make it valuable
to men Of all parties. Without
boasting, we think the facts bear
US out in saying that we have
given fuller reports of recent state
and national conventions than any
other paper in this section. And
our reports have been accurate and
impartial. We expect to keep this
up, and in order to place the DAILY
CHRONICLE within reach Of all, We
propose to send it up to and in
Guiding the 18th day of November
for TWO DOLLARS AND FIFTY
CENTS, cash in advance. Send on
your subscriptions by money order
or registered letter at our risk.

DEMOCRATIC MIsREPRESEN-
TATION AND EXTRAVE.
CANOE.

One of the claims of the demo.
cratic platform adopted at Cincin-
natl is that the party has saved the
country $4O,OOO,OOO a year for the
past five years. Of course this is
untrue, and We propose to meet it
as We have done and will meet other
Misrepresentation made for cam
paign use. A recent editorial in
the Chicago Tribune shows up the
fallacy of the assertion so COM
pletely that We transfer it to our
columns entire:
"Lord how this world is given tn
lying !"-particularly that part of the
western world known as the demo.
cratic party. For shameless nnisren-
resentation, for empty pretense, for i'm
pertinent, transparent and unneces-
sary lying, the democratic party may
unturl its banner with the motto
"Pslmam qui meruit ferat."
The democratic newspapers and the
democratic politicians are now endeav.
oring to rival the democratic platform
in classifying the record of the reduc-
ton in national taxes in which the
democratic congress has taken any
part. One plank in the Cincinnati
platform declares that the democrat,
have saved $40. 900, 900 year during
the past five years by reason of theil
control Of the national house of repre-
sentatives! They might as we'll have
put the figures at S10O 600 600. or any
other preposterous sum that first sug,
gested itself to the platform-makers
The following is the record of expen,
ditures, as furnished by Washington
correspondent, during the past eleven
years:

APPLETON'5 READER RE-
JECTED.

The school board CT Chattanooga
met on Monday night Issf, 10 adopt
Readers for the city schools. After a
spirited fight AppIe.ou's Readers were
rejected by vote of to l, upon an
offer of even exchange, for Tie books
heretofore used. Il was stated that
the AppletOns had two sets Of Read
ers-One for the north and one for the
south. If this be true, it looks like
blowing hot and cold at the same time.
The following reasons were also pre-
scented why the Appleton books
should not be adopted:
q J They are trashy and fictitious
beyond any sense or reason.
~ Many of the lessons are Of na,
ture and character, not calculated 10
improve the mind, or elevate the moral
tone of the child-in fact. the pages Of
these readers are brisiling ali over
with loose and careless, not to say
coarse and vulgar, expressions and
badly constructed sentences.
e } Oar teachers complain of many
of the lessons being too difficult for
children, while other lessons are sim
pie, nonsensical and without point or
merit.
a. There is SO much difference in
books of the same appearances and
grade, that teachers and pupils are
seriously annoyed in recitation.
Is When a school reader would
lead a child to bell eve that aU0rds agd
actually freeze in the air, we think ii
time to call halt.

IT will be interesting to compare
democratic speeches and democratic
newspaper editorials of this year
with those made and written in
former years. For instance, com>
pare democratic speech of 1868,
when the orators of party were bell
lowing themselves hoarse against
NEGRO suffrage and "negro equal
ity." Or in the matter of the cur
rency, take the democratic speeches
of even two years ago on the cur
rency question and compare then
with those that have been made be-
tween now and November. We are
told that democracy is the same
yesterday, to-day and forever, that
is rock-ribbed, copper-bottomed and
unchanging. And yet the demc'
cratic illusions of a few years
ago on the negro question and
those of only two years ago on the
currency question bear no more re-
sembance to democratic utterance
OF toNday than does a chapter in
Tom Paine's Age of Reason to one
OF John Wesley's or Jonathan Ed,
wards sermons. They all pledged
''amens" at Cincinnati, to the
constitutional doctrines and tradi,
tions" of the party as illustrated in
long line of democratic statesmen,
but when you come to look at that
''long line" of statesmen, it will be
found that scarcely any two of them
agree, no one of them has agreed
with himself long at time.

We congratulate our evening
contemporary on his sound editorial
of yesterday on the state debt ques~
ton. He is down on Governor
Marks because of his position on
that question, and urges upon East
Tennessee democrats to send a solid
delegation to Nashville next month
to vote against the denomination Of
the present incumbent. We trust
it will be done. We believe that
it will be done. We believe that
the republican candidate for gov
ernor could defeat Governor Marks,
or at least there is a strong proba~
bility of it, but after ali, We prefer
that our democratic friends shall
nominate a good state credit man
for governor. We want to take nc
risks. We will try to elect our
candidate, but if we fail and must
have democrat, We want a state
credit man.
