EDITOR LEDaER-Wilson will carry
this county by at least 1900 votes. We
vote about $500 votes. Be assured Will
son will loose but lew democratic votes in
this county. 1 have been making a can
vass in this county for Hancock, English
and Wilson, and Wilson is all right. I
have been in Henry and have been credit
ably informed that Wilson willcarry that
county by a large majority. The samein
Obion and Gibson. | have letters from
almost every county in West Tennessee.
and there is no doubt of Wilson's success
in West Tennessee. Let every low tax
man who is q democrat, go to work and
all is well. No man can get on the stump
in my county and say Wright is on the
regular democratic platform and make any
one believe him.

LOM-Tax Logic.

CHATTANOOGA, September II, 1880.
This is a representative government.
But the American, Bailey, Colyar, Wright
& Co., claim that a majority of Tennessee
ans are in favor of repudiating the state
debt.
Therefore, if this statement be true, our
representatives will have to repudiate the
debt. Ifthey do not vote for reputation,
they will not faithfully represent their
constituents, and will act in an un-demo-
cratic manner
Query: Are the high-tax organs CON
s'stent, and are they advocating the pure
and true principles Of democracy
But the majority Of Tennesseeans are
neither repudiationists, knaves nor fools.
They have enlisted and are fighting under
that same old democratic banner which
in other days floated so proudly over our
fathers. With the gallant Frank Wilson
as their captain, they are marching on to
certain victory. Through the dark clouds
of the present they behold the rainbow
of promise illuminating the future
with q dazzling briliiancy. They
are in favor Of paying every
dollar of their just Indebtedness, but moi
one cent of the unjust. They are in favor
of the railroads and all other corporations
| rings and monopolies paying their own
| debts, and not endeavoring TO saddle then
upon the state. They are in favor Of hon.
esty, economy, and the principles of pure
Jeffersonian democracy. Yes, we, the
people Of Tennessee, are honest. They
will support with their votes no mar who
casts a reflection upon the fair name ofthC
people of the proud old Volunteer state
They win support no man who, either
directly or indirectly, calls them repudia.
tors, knaves or fools. The people of Ten
nessee will not support John V. Wright
the railroad candidate, for their governor
but they will support and elect the peo-
pies candidate, Frank Wilson. ThesC
are plain facts, but facts the solid, sub
s%tantial citizens of Tennessee will heartily
endorse. Truly,

MANS FATTRFUL FRIEND.
A Remarkable story Of the Graf
itude of a bloodhound.

The Detroit Free Press tells a re-
markable story of q bloodhound's
gratitude at Andersonville. The
prisoners were allowed TO 60 out in
squads, strongly guarded, to collect
FIRE wood. One day it was the herO's
turn to go, and for the first time since
his Imprisonment he caught sight of
Colonel Catchem," the big blood
hound. The Michigander noticed
that the dog limped painfully on one
of his fore feet, but gave the matter
no special attention until after, being
out for half an hour, he sat down to
rest neal one Ofthe guards. The dog
approached the guide as if to ask some
favor, but was repulsed with an oath
and a threatened blow. He then
skulked around and came near the
prisoner, who saw that he had an old
horseshoe nail run into his foot. With
a little coaxing he got the dog near,
and finally pulled out the nail, and
the animal ran away, seemingly well
pleased. Twelve days after that, one
night about midnight a tunnel
was ready. The prisoner was
a long time getting clear OF the neigh
borhood, and weak and starved Is he
was, he was not more than two miles
from the stockade when day broke,
and Colonel Catchem'' was put on
his track. When he heard the hound
coming, he looked for a suitable tree
to climb but failed to find one. Armed
with a club he took his stand, and de-
termined to make a fight for it. The
dog recognized the man, and began
exhibiting every sign of friendship.
After a few minutes the pursuers we're
heard in the distance. The dog at
once trotted off in that direction, and
was shortly baying and leading them
over a fictitious trail. The prisoner
pushed ahead for half an hour, and
vas then rejOined by the dog, who
kept either close to his heels or just
ahead of him all day, and lay beside
him in the woods at night. This posi-
ton OF guardian or companion he
maintained until toward night of the
second day, when he returned to the
stockade The prisoner was then
thirty miles away, but on the morning
Of the fifth he was recaptured. When
he returned, the hound met and ca
ressed him. From that hour to the
close Of the war the dog would not
take the trail of an escaping prisoner.

EDITOR LEDaER Find enclosed re-
mittance, for which you will please send
the daily LEDGER to my address. We
think the peoples paper should be sup
ported, and the old-fashioned democratic
principles, as ~enunciated by our gallant
standard bearer, Hon. S. +. Wilson,
should be disseminated among the people,
so that, seeing their interest, they may be
guided thereby, and no longer be led to
support means in the interest Of railroads,
lobbyists, etc. We have but few Wright
men in this county, 50 you may count
on a pretty solid majority for Wilson and
the people in Lauderdale county.

Fish Nfnrr.

AS a gentleman was fishing in the
mill dam below Winchester, Va, he
accidentally threw his line across a
strong white duck, which. suddenly
turning round, twisted the gut around
her own neck and fixed the hook Of
the dropper-Ay in her breast. Thus
entangled and hooked, she soon broke
off the gut above the dropper, and
sailed down the stream with the end Of
the fly trailing behind her. She had

about a pound and a half took the fly

who had the misfortune to be born in
America and to be in love in England
That he is in love no just person will
question. Is the lady not the richest
woman in all England Is she not
also old and shriveled, with hose a
mile too large for her shrinking ex-
tremities2 She must therefore soon
die, and dying, leave her money. Ev-
erything, indeed, goes 10 show that
Nj. Bartlett loves and loves despe-
rately. The lady herself is also in
love. There is no age from five to
five hundred years at which a woman
cannot love. Take my lady with the
false hair, the skinny lip and the
palsied limb, and place by her side
the young and amorols buck, all
blooming in robust msnhood, and
let him talk to her as did 0thello to
the fair Desdemona-tell her of his
perils by land and sea, and she will
love him for the dangers he has
passed, if for nothing else, and he will
love her "that she did pity them

PURDK.
Judge John V. Wright ON his Ma
tive Heath,
But Wilson VIII Beat him In his
Own County.

Special Corr. LRDGKR.I
PURDY. September IS, 1880.
We arrived safely at Purdy at ten
o'clock to-day and met the largest
crowd of the canvass. About two
thousand people are estimated to be
present. We all visited the graves OF
Judge Wright's father and mother
which are on the road from Bethel to
Purdy. The crowd were the honest
yeomanry of the county and not the
Sunday school children and the nice
town folks that we met at Jackson on
horse back to greet the Hon. John V.
Wright with all their pomps and
splendid array, with brass bands and
cannon for the purpose, as they said at
jackson, to intimidate Col. Wilson.
Wilson is recognized to-day as the
man who so proudly holds up the
banner of the people, and |, for one,
can join hands with the Hon. Milton
Brown, OF jackson, and say |
thank God there is one man yet in
Tennessee who has the brains and
the personal courage to stand before
the combined forces of the railroads
and rings that controlled the state so
long, and to-day are trying to crush
her people to the earth, and tell them
they shall not do it.
Colonel Edwards led off in his usual
elegant and pleasing style, and made q
logical and forcible speech. and
created an unusual interest in the
large audience. He was often greeted
with applause. He said taxes we're al
inheritance every man was born to,
and the poor man as well as the rich
was taxed until he was laid away in
his grave. His mush pot story. con
nected with his joke on Judge Wright
and Colonel Wilson, comparing them
to Esau and Jacob, produce an abund-
ance of fun aud a sensation.
Judge Wright spoke next. He
made an excellent fourth of July
speech. He made a very touching
and sympathetic allusion to visiting
his fathers and mother 5 grave thu
morning. Judge Wright has man
warm friends here. His speech was
full of interesting jokes. He failed t.
discuss the state debt issue, and hi,
friends and supporters we're disap
pointed.
Colonel Wilson came forward at the
close of Judge Wright's speech and
was spplauded for several minutes.
He was her introduced by Colonel
Huddleston, Of Purdy. Colonel Will
son spoke for one and a half hours.
and made the finest speech OF his life.
He literally tore Judge Wright's ar
guments all to pieces and | heard
men OF all elasses-Wright, Edwards,
and HawkiLs men-say they never
did, in all their lives, see a man SO
badly used up Judge Wright was
evidently hacked in his own beloved
county of McNairy. Wilson's speech
produced a perfect revolution in the
sentiment Of the people. l heard re-
publioans, greenbackers and high-taz
democrats say openly ard boldly thai
they we're going to vote for Wilson
because he was a man that had thu
brains and the personal courage Il
stand by the people in this fight an(
would do it.
After a fair c%anyassing Of the largl
crowd present, l can safely say VIII
son will carry McNairy county, tn,
old home of John Y. Wright, by
respectable majority. A. N. j.
