Tom Montgomery has received 10000
Hancock and English cigars, put up I'M
der the name of Victory" and by
special order of Tom. The one we
tried was certainly splendid, and the
box he says he will give us will certain
ly be splendider--as Bob White would
say. Really, it is the best cigar of the
season.
We yield considerable Of our space
this week to the speech of Hon. Jno. Il.
Beaslcy, delivered last July in our
town. We do this because Mr. Beasley
is q clever man because he has render.
ed us a friendly "quid pro quo" for our
trouble; because we want to please the
so-called low-tax men by giving them a
hearing in our paper just as we would
the so-called high-tax men because we
respect the low-tax men, personally ;
because we want all sides to be heard
because we believe what Beasley says
can do no harm if men will think and
be uninAuenced by passion; but not be-
cause we endorse Mr.. Beasley as poll
ticlan, nor any man as politician who
bolts the regular Democratic Convcn-
ton or is opposed to a fair settlement of
the rhole Indebtedness of Tennessee.
We see the sediment of base reputation
at the bottom Of too much that is now
discussed.

Several newspapers in this State-the
Lebanon Herald especially -call the
Home Journal marks organ" We
will only say that the appellation is un-
called for and unwarranted. Gov.
Marks never, in all his life, dictated or
suggested a single word for us to use,
nor an idea for us to convey in our pa
per. This paper is owned solely by one
person, and that person is not for sale.
He never tried to buy us, and we are
under no obligation to him pecuniarily
or otherwise, except that he Is our
friend. And we sincerely believe the
Democrats in convention. at Nashville
made a serious mistake in not rc-noml-
mating Marks for Governor. He was
not an extremist he was as good n
Democrat as any man there he merifcd
denomination and because he was
not re-nominated we will have, We fear,
a Republican for our next Governor,
but not through any agency Of Gov.
Marks. He is too true a Democrat and
soldier to lend assistance toany division
in Democratic ranks. We say this Of
our own accord and not from any
throne, for we bow at none. AS to the
Home Journals efforts in the campaign
we shall have something to say next
week. and we believe all our readers
will do us the justice to believe we are
sincere. We cannot support Republl,
can, nor can we support any cause which
is irregular and questionable in matter
upon which the future honor and pros,
pcrity of our State depend.
