A. II. stevvart... aoay.



The body of A. II. Stewart has
never been recovered. That y the
information | have from per-
sons close to Judge Hilton. The
thieves who stole IL relied upon a
woman's weakness to redeem the
body at n costly price. But 20 the
same religious feelings Mrs Stow
arts friends appealed when they
told her IF she purchased these poor
bones ne man would lie safe IN his
grave that they were not necessary
TO the repOse of her husbands soul,
and that If he could appear 10 her
in spirit he would tell her never To
give one cent to keep alive such an
example. Hence the grave robbers
had their nasty work and subse-
quent expense and long waiting on
a reward for nothing. l once asked
Judge Hilton for information on
that subject, and he said: 81 wOtild
probably tell you If i had anything
to say. but the newspaper discussion
of the subject is mainly TO assist
thieves and extort money from Mrs.
Stewart. When the subject dies
out, and the wounds of the hour are
healed, 1t may be time TO talk up
that question"

Not the masses Of the state. for ne
has discharged the trust they re-.
posed In him to their satisfaction.
Cannot senator Bailey better afford
to lose. the seat than pennesse can 10
lose his services2 ? Can tile state Hf-
ford 10 set premium upon refusing
70 warn the people? When cOn-
victiuns on one side are 0utspOken
they are also drawn OUT Oh the
other side, and in much counsel
truth and right are discovered. Bet
ter that a man speak out honestly
wrong and draw the fire OF truth
than compound with conviction,
This is the only fault alleged, and
the people OF Tennessee are nct vet
ready TO condemn oulspOken con-
Viction, manly, moderate leclara-
tion Of views as to public affairs hy
public men, even when they do not
concur.
The local issues as to which dem
ocrats disagree have been fought
over until we have fought into mu-
tual esteem. They have no figure
10 cut in this election aud nothing
to do with the duties of the senator.
although being a senator does not
absOlve man from the duties Of
citizen. We need such men at least
as much as they need us.
The time has come when sOme-
body must see the way out Of this
difficulty, which none seem to care
to discuss or to solve. After a long
and earnest study we have con-
cluded that this is the one way out
the one way by which no man
sacrifices pride, honor or conviction,
when the state will be well served
in the result, by the selection Of a
moderate, conservative, liberal man,
whose position has made him now
the available man. We do not as
sumo thas he Is the only man who
can serve the state. There are other
aspirants and thesF friends who will
not agree with us but circum-
stances and service ably rendered
have given him foremost place,
and this is no reflection upon any
other man. That it is so is simply
fact which goes also with duties
and burdens as well as with honor
honor because Il is a trust from
the people OF Tennessee but, after
all, disagreeable post Of hard duty
under republican administration,
boldness, stern adherence
to convictions, as well as liberality
and a catholic spirit, progressive
thought, as well as conservatism.

Asnake In Bed.
Nashville Banner.

An old man named James Has
kins, lives near Eperson Springs,
Sumner county. On arising from
his bed one morning recently, he
complained of being very much dis
turbed during the night by jariiy,
which he said was about his bed.
Search being made IL proved to be
nothing less than rattlesnake
which had taken up its abode In the
straw bed, and when the old man
would turn over il would disturb
his snakeshlp, and he would com
plain In his threatening manner.
Two more were killed the same day
in the house, one in n crack between
the logs the other on the floor.

J. ALFRED COLLINS is = very handy
kind ofa Democrat to have lying around
loose in the Fifth Waid. Whenever
any political work is to be done to fx
up things in the ward, J. Alfred Collips
is generally called upon to do 1t, and
he does it with alaority and delight.
He is especially handy at election times
when an assistant inspector is wanted.
He knows every body in the ward and
II he does not know exactly where they
live he has no difficulty in locating
them. AT the last city slsction col
ored man named Hockster applisd to
vote and by mistake gave his residence
in Wollaston instead OF Windsor street.
both streets being within the bounda-
riss Of the election district iu which he
offered to vote, J. Alfred raised an oh.
lection, and Hockstsr went away and
voted in another district. When the
Republicans were having a number Of
Democratic rspsat.rs arrested, Alfred
stepped to the front and had Hoekster
arrested for illegal voting. Court came
on, several OF J. Alfred's friends were
convicted and put in jail. Yesterday
H0ckster was tried. J. Alfred was in
his glory. Here at last was Que clT5eg
