In Chattanooga Declare For

The Chattanooga Commercial says Of
Hon. Lewis Shepherd anl Hon. c. &,
Snyder, Secretary Of the Democrats
Executive Committee Of Hamilton co.
The headlines explain it all. Last
Friday night the gentlemen named
above both aAHsscd the G. lrlield Club
and renouH regular Democratic
organization. Mr.. Shepherd referred
to the great acts OF the Republican par
ty, its policies and lis achievements, and
while there were some acts he could
not endorc, its general policies he APP
proved, especially On the tarin.. lie
had been bred a Democrat; but hc could
not find IN the Democracy of to-day
what had been instilled in him rs Il
youth. Mr.. Shepherd spoke at length
but want of space precludcs an extend
ed report.
Mr.. Snyder made a ringing Republic
can speech. lie said he was tired of
trying to warm a corpse by sitting up
over it. The democratic party he was
done with, and he would nevermore act
with it until it represented something
consistent and true. lie was tired Of
being faced first in this direction and
then in that, and Of being made to walk
blind folded after mistaken party lead

THE sun CEASES
To Shine On Democracy.


The New York Sm, the most bite
and uncompromising democratic papeI
gives it up in the following languag,
in its issue Of October goth, viz:
''Ihe democrats have sustained an
unexpected and Notifying defeat ~
Indiana and Ohio. Its disastrous, and
may prove fatal. Ii il silly to MAXI
light Of it, and idle TO try Ia whittlc II
away by cunning calculations and
adrOit figuring. The democrats are
beaten, badly bcaten-whether beaten
to death or not is the only question.
"lt has seemed to us that the whole
democratic campaign was a series OF
plumbers. The party had one man,
only one, whose immense strength had
been demonstrated on a national field
Samuel j. Tilden. 1t is the one
great, ~pre-emincnt name in the demo-
cratic party. lie was Il refOrmer, in
deed, as his record in the office of gov
ernor has proved. He was Il statesman,
ms all his public papers, especially his
letter declining to compete for the nom
nation, had cmplatically shown.
kllllAlliSNs llht W dNllllSAbn Nv ilNAl UlllN
his country to love; and even the ties
of kindred were ruthlcssly sundercd by
his stern and mrelenting hand, If the
faintest blush of an improper practice
rested upon them. So patriotic, so loft
ty, 50 convincing, was, his great letter
to the convention which made the NOM
inatiOm. that the most adrOit and the
ablest of all his enemies, after reading
it, avowed his disposition to support
HIM.
"This illustrious man the democratic
party thought could afford to dis
pense with a. Il candidate. There is Il
word of one syllable with twoO's in it
which might not appropriately be in
serted.
"rhe party nominated General Ham
cock-a good man weighing two hum
dred and fifty pounds. But Hancock
is not Tilden.
"'IhGn as Il browning act of folly,
the party went into the state of Th0mas
\. Hendricks, ard took another man
for Vice President. Any name Other
than that OfIIendricks would have been
folly enough but to 20 one step fur
ther, they had to take a mar with the
most odious reputation as Il skinilint
to overcome.
