As Detroit constable was on his
way down town the other morning he
was met by two men. one of them was
a stranger and the other an old friend.
The latter held out his hand and said:
"Mr. Blank, | hear that one of your
six regular jurymen died last night"
"Ah, yes. The poor fellow is gone.
He was a truly good man. Summer
and winter he was always around the

Col. JNo. H. SAVAGE was at the
state convention at Nashville yester-
day as a delegate from Warren. He
took no conspicuous part, though he
showed his hand in the Wilson county
rumpus. In speech at MurlreesbOro
the other day:
He was for harmony among the de-
mocracy, if it could be obtained upon
principle. His plan was harmony and
concert with the high tax or state
credit wing upon the presidential cleo
ton, and battle to the knife upon state
issues. If this is accepted, and COM
mon sense and common honesty re-
ouires that it should be, there was no
danger to the democratic party. Fed
eral issues were one thing and state
issues another. Let them be kept dis,
tinct and separate. Let presidential
electors and the candidates for con-
gress discuss federal affairs. Let the
candidates for governor and the iegis-
Sature discuss state issues, and let the
democratic and republican, the white
and black be free to vote upon state
issues according to his best judgment

health and spirits, and never appeared
to better advantage. 1t was his in
tention to visit Memphis, but dis
patches received from Washington
will probably call him back to his
post of duty. All ran smoothly
in the convention until Wilson
county was reached in the roll
call. Then the trouble began. Two
sets Of delegates demanded admission.
These had been chosen respectively
on account of their high or low state
credit views. Both sides had rallied
their friends in force to fight it out in
the convention. The committee on
credentials, of which j. A. Taylor
Of Shelby was a member, brought
in a majority report favoring the ad-
mission of the low tax delegation and
a minority report recommending that
both sets be admitted to the conven-
tion. After two hours stormy de.
bate, the minority report was adopted.
Shelby county voted 80 for the mi
nority and 80 against it. Some of the
low tax delegates from Wilson ex-
pressed indignation and threatened to
leave the convention. One or two did
go out, declaring that they had
been disfranchised, but l
think they reconsidered their
action and came back. At one time
great confusion prevailed, and il
seemed as if no definite conclusion
could be reached. There had been a
general desire to keep the state debt
question out of the convention, and
the unpleasant issue was taken hold
Of with great reluctance. The settle
ment agreed upon was the best that
could be done under the circumstances
and will doubtless give general salts
faction, Those who have the statt
debt influenza can take the stuml
now or wait for the August conven
ton. This is not the place nor tn,
time for it. One thing is evident
this convention, which equals in in
telligence and respectability, ant
doubtless in the tax-paying record o
its members any that ever assem-
bled here, is overwhelmingly Of
the state credit side. When ex-Gov
ernor Porter, in the midst Of the con
fusion, appeared for the first time
standing ona desk to raise a point Q
order, he was vociferously cheered 70
two or three minutes. 1t was tn
demonstration Of the day. 1

ballots taken in the Chicago eonver

feeling here in regard to the pres
dental race isvery hopeful. The non
ination of Garfield is regarded
rather strong one, and will put Il
, democracy on its mettle. All division
must be closed up and a solid fro

a fall. Allindications point to a dem
cratic victory in November. Cas-,

So far as the democrats are con-

he is certainly more worthy of sup

elect a president, the south would
fare better with him than with any
other at the head of the nation. But
speculation is useless with the result
likely to come at any moment.
