ATTENTION, DEMOCRATS.

The regular democrats of Harde-
man county, as represented by min
GRITTY in the Nashville convention,
voted for Wright and the platform
upon which he is now canvassing the
State, aRd those who deserted the con-
vention and party, nominated Wilson
and gave him a platform. Now it is
clearly the duty of the democracy OF
the county to be true to the candidate
and platform of the party, as it is the
duty Of the boilers to sustain Wilson.
We can't blame them, they can't
blame US for being loyal to principles.
There is no middle ground to occupy.
If the boilers yield any portion Of their
platform, to that extent they sell out
Wilson, and if the democrats yield,
they sell out Wright. Neither faction
can be expected to take such a step,
especially the boilers in Hardeman,
who are admitted to bein the majority.
They will control the convention to-
morrow, and though it is called a
united democracy, yet it will be in
reality a united boilers meeting.
This they admit. Such being the in
evitable result of affairs in the county,
we advise all democrats who desire to
place themselves in line with the regu-
lar democratic nominees, Wright and
Hancock, not to enter that convention
because it will be run by the boilers
in the interest of Wilson, and against
Wright and his platform. Hence let
the democrats stay away and hold
themselves in readiness to organize at
an early day.
We deprecate division and had
hoped that the unity of the party
could be preserved; but to grant what
the boilers will demand as to resolu-
tons and candidates, would make us
traitors to Wright. and place US in
open opposition to the regular demo-
cracy of the State.
Wilson's chief organ, the Franklin
Review and Journal has this to say on
mongrel conventions;
The split between the Wright and
Wilson men is irreparable, and any
attempts to hold q convention Of the
elements together will prove abortive.
Such q movement will end in the
merest farce,
Again:
The Wilson men Will vote for no
Wright man for the Legislature, and
the Wright men will vote for no VIII
son men for said positions, The
patched-up work of convention can't
heal the matter. 1t will OILY widen
the breach,
Hence in the interest of real har-
mony, we advise separate action.
The Wright men had rather be de-
feated in the county than surrender
their principles to the boilers. Let
US keep alive the watch-fres of true
democracy in the county, let US keep
step With the regular democracy of
the State and of the Union. This is
our mission.

We appeal to Democrats of what
ever shade, and conjure them by the
memory Of common traditions, COM
mon purpose and comOnm hopes, for
the sake Of the principles we profess,
to lay aside all differences and in a
spirit Of good will come together on a
platform of compromise, and mite for
the election of John V. Wright and a
democratic Legislature. We cannot
afford any longer to court defeat by
our folly Memphis Appeal, Sept. 5.

The republicans voted against the
5O-4 plan as an investment TO divide
the democracy, and il paid them well,
as the present canvass shows. They
will do this every time they get a
chance. The submission plank they
will use to break down the democratic
party. Why, then, should we persist
in having such thing, when the
democrats can more safely express
their will by electing men to the Legis-
Iature.

THE demagogue says if taxes are
raised the renter has them to pay.
This we deny. Adam Smith, stand
ard authority, says;
I. Supply in excess of demand causes
prices to fall.
2. Demand in excess of supply causes
prices to rise.
Hence, we say, that it is the supply
of land to rent that makes the price
of rent to foil; and that the demand
for land to rent makes the price OF
rent rise. Let all the land in Harde.
man county be for rent, and it could
be rented for song in spite of taxes.

THE RAILROAD SUITS.

On last Monday, in the United
States Circuit court, at Memphis, the
bondholders moved to dismiss their
suits against the railroads. This mo-
ton was resisted by the attorneys for
the roads, who demanded that the cases
be tried on their merits. 1t is
rumored that Judge Whitney is pre-
pairing a decree adverse to the bend
holders in the suits before him.

meeting. It is now known that he
went to the convention on a free rail

gates without a word Of proof against
one of them, except that he himself
had free pass and went there on it.
Moreover, a prominent member of
Wilson's West Tennessee Executive
Committee tried to get a free railroad
pass back home from Nashville and
failed. Now he is Ioudest in OBTAINING
