Mr. Springer, of Illinois, says in
letter to the Tammany committee
"There can now scarcely be any
doubt of the triumphant election in
November next of Hancock and
English. A loss of 10000 in Maine
to the Republicans is equal to a
loss of $4,000 in Massachusetts,
100000 in New York, $4,000 in
Pennsylvania, $4,000 in Ohio, and
$4,000 in Illinois. Hence. if there
is anything in relative losses, we
may reasonably expect as the re-
suit of the November election not
only solid South but also a SOL
id North for Hancock and English"

Hon. George w. Jones on the
State Debt.

Marshall Gazette.
FAYETTEVILLE, Tenn, Sept. q
1S8O.-Messrs. W. n. Cowden, A
B. Ewing, II. N. Cowden, r. L
Phillips, r. L. Adams, J H. Levi
and other deIlocIats Of Marshal
county-GentIemen: Your letter
of the oath instant, has Oeen re
ceived, asking me to address The
people of your county on the frs
Monday in October next, / suppose
upon the vexcd question of thu
State debt, which divides and rui
nously abstracts the Democracy O
the State, and which may result
in the defeat of all that SOUND
Democrats hold dear, in the cleo
tion of the Republican candidate
for Governor.
l was opposed to the use of the
credit of the State for any and all
purposes, whether to raise capital
for banks, to build the capitol, buy
the Hermitage, or aid in the con
struction of railroads or turnpikes.
l believed it would be better for the
State to pay as she went-create no
debts to quarrel over, as now in
Tennessee.
When 1 was a delegate to the
convention Of 1870, which framed
the present State Constitution, l
co-operated with those who in
serted in that Constitution the pro-
vision prohibiting the creation of
public debts by the issuance of
State bonds.
What and others think of the
validity of the present outstanding
bonds of the State is a matter of
little consequence. Mankind at
large, the world over, believe that
the State executed the bonds,
and that the people of the State are
legally and morally bound to re
deem the bonds, the evidence of the
debt.
Believing as L do, that the qHes-
ton will never be quoted and ia
ken out of the political discussions
in the state, until the debt is settled
in some way acceptable to the
States creditors, and believing the
present as favorable time as there
ever will be to compromise and adj
just, and settle the debt question,
l sometime since wrote letter,
which was published in the Amer
can, in which favored the settle
meDt with the bondholders on the
best terms that colld be obtained.
l still believe that the best interest
of the State, its present Iopula
ton and those of the future, will
be most decidedly benefited by the
settlement of the debt on such
terms as 1 feel confident can be OBJ
tanned from the bondholders.
1 see it reported in the papers,
that Memphis has agreed with the
holders of her outstanding bonds,
to settle at fifty cents en- the dollar,
with three sper. cent. interest for
five years, five per cent for five
years, and six per. cent. for twenty
years. Surely the people of Ten
nessee are as able to pay as the city
of Memphis.
L would settle up, ana as no more
such debts can be made, the Demo
cratic party will be united and har-
monized, all of which can be done
by the election of j. V. Wright,
upon the principles of the party as
adopted by the convention which
nominated him.
/ have declined all invitations and
requests to make speeches In this
canvass, and must respectfully de
cline q compliance with your re-
quest. With profound respect.
@. w. JONES.

The "sea serpent has been caught
at last. A dispatch from San Fran
cisco, dated Sept. p, says: ga
genuine sea serpent, 6 feet in
length, with an orthodox name,
head shaped like a panther's, and a
tail whitfield down to a sharp point,
was brought in by Indians yester-
day, they having caught it in deep
water in the Straits of Beharo. Its
appearance creates great interest
among savants, and old fishermen
cannot place the monster. The ser
pent has been photographed, and
the body will be preserved in spir
its and sent to Ottawa for classified
ton"

Athens Pest: The claims of the
Wllsonites that they are in favor of
"low-tax" is a gross and palpable
fraud. If the policy they advocate
should prevail, in less than five
years the depreciation in taxables,
real and personal, would be so
great that the rate of taxation
would have to be increased fully
90 per centum to meet current
state and county expenses.

Dyer d. Lum, assistant secretary
of the National Green back commit
tee, is out in letter in which he
states that Gen. Weaver, the green
back candidate for the presidency,
is mere tool of the republican
managers, receiving pay from them
to stir up discussions among the
democrats. Lum's letter is adj
dressed to Hon. L. II. Murch,
greenback congressman from Maine,
and it has created quite a sensation
among Weaver's duDes.

The chairman of the state demo
cratic executive committee has re-
received the following letter of in
quiry from Indiana:
LIBERTY, IND, Oct. l, 1885,
Chairman Tennessee State Central
Democratic COMMUNICATIONS Sir:
a man by the name of Thomas d.
Evans, attorney at law, came to
Liberty over year ago, an entire
strar ger to every one here. Since
then he has claimed to be repub-
lican and then again democrat.
BINs are out announcing that he
will make a republican speech at
Brownsville, in this county, to-
night. He IS announced to speak
on the subject of the "Solid South"
its Intimidation of Negroes"
"Rebel Democracy" "Ku-Klux
Klans" and "Social Ostracism on
Account of Political Difference of
Opinion" etc, etc. He claims to
have graduated at the Lebanon Law
School, and to have practiced law
at Lebanon, Gallatin and Nashville
He says that during the war he was
an officer of Stokes regiment, in the
union army, and that through his
unionism he was socially and in
every manner ostracised and com
PEELED to leave the state of Tennes-
see. At present he is an intense
radical, ana during his residence
here has constantly been seeking
office at the hands of both parties
at the same time. Our faith in him
is weak. We would like to know if
his stories of himself and the south
are true. Please search his record
and oblige, yours, respectfully,
BART. BURKE,
of Union Co., Ind.
The committee proceeded to
search Evans record, and did not
have to search far. Among the
records of the Federal Court it was
found that in November, 1873, Ev
ans was sentenced to five years i'm
prisonment tor having forged the
official bond of Joseph E. Black
burn, U. S. Marshal, in 1870. He
served out part of his term in the
Nashville penitentiary and was par
doned by President Grant. He was
Blackburn's deputy, and, before the
law overlook him, committed many
official rascalities. A complete
copy of the record in his case has
been sent to Indiana. and will make
lively campaign reading. Evans
was not a member of Stokes Cav
airy, and is not supposed to nave
belonged to any command. He
was always regarded as hummer
and a man of low character.

This is it in nutshell: We
must beat Hawkins. How? With
the strongest democrat. Who is
hep Ordinarily the regular nomi.
nee is stronger. and why not now?
IL Wright IS not stronger, he ought
to be, being the regular nominee.
If Wright is not stronger, democra-
cy ought to hang its head in shame.
If Wight is not stronger, farewell
democratic organization; and when
the organization falls, democracy
falls, radicalism triumphs, and
Brownlowism will set in upon us
again. We must beat Hawkins and
preserve democratic organization
or we perish politically. Wilson
men, you are honest men and dem
ocrats. Reflect moment. Is not
the regular nominee the man to
beat Hawkins? Surely he is.
When it comes to be the case that
the regular nominee of the demo
Gratis is not the strongest, then we
had just as well throw up the
sponge

There is a big sized political
straw in the fact that the Presi-

Mr.. Wilson, the candidate of the
disadected democracy, in his speech
at Pulaski, was very severe in his
illusions to the little lawyers in
the towns. Mr.. Wilson is himself
a lawyer; it is fair to suppose that
he is a little one because the most
ardent of his partisans- is bound to
confess that he has achieved no emf
nence in his profession; besides, he
lives in a town-Gallatin. Prior to
his present candidacy he was bet
ter known as local politician than
a lawyer, aud i: he was noted for
anything it was a mania for max
ing himself conspicuous in the con
ventions held at the county site. 1t
occurs to us that the less he has to
say about the little lawyers in the
county towns the better. When he
denounces that much abused class
he is simply befouling his own nest.

On February 1, 1879, the Chicago
Tribune denounced Gen. Arthur
the Republican candidate for the
vice presidency, as the head center
of syndicate of revenue thieves, -
and asserted that "every member OF
the ring of crooked importers in
New York city desires and is labor
ing for the return OF Mr.. Arthur to
the collectorship." The Tribune is
now heartily laboring to have this
disreputable fellow elected vice
president Of the United States.

The white girl who married n ne
