Our Last Word.

Next Tuesday, dear readers of the
Home Journal, you who are qualified
by law to vote, will have the opportuni-
ty to say who shall be our President,
Eice-President, Governor, Congress
men, State Senator, Representative,
&c. Whether for Hancock, Garfield,
Wright, Wilson or Hawkins, or any
other man-vote as your conscience die
tates, and do not get mad at any one
who votes differently from you. We
are all citizens, and have equal rights.
The Home Journal deplorcs the split in
the Democratic party. and is honest in
advocating John V. Wright as the reg
nlar nominee of that party. And the
Home Journal honestly believes that
the State debt could be settled at 5O-4
and to ask the bondhol,ler to take less is
downright attempt to swindle. If the
state does not owe the debt, nor the
railroads owe it, surely some one does.
Now, the bondholders loaned the money,
and we say the State owes the debt.
Then, like men, let us vote for an hon
orable adjustment. This is our advice,
and we give it in the kind spirit with
which we have received opposite advice
from our Wilson friends. In any emer-
sency, however, the Home Journal is
Tor Hancock and English for President
and Nice-President, John V. Wright
ior Governor, and State Credit all along
Inc line. We cannot vote for any man
", wAo has the smell of reputation upon
MS garments. We are as sure that
evil will follow reputation as we are
sure that God let's the sun shine upon
.Ile earth. And it is shame for the
gate Of Tennessee to harbor the thought
ol population, and weigh her honol
"Sa'hst little tax which would be nee
%'ary to pay debt contemplate com
Par'l with her ability to pay it. 4

Farmers are not through sowin,

The little rain that has fallen has Il ten.

weather naturally killed it out.
ar. Styx's" plan to settle the State
debt is very good, provided enough of
the voters would place large figures be-
fore the aughts, but | am thinking Il
good majority would vote for the
two 90.
Politics are at low ebb here. We
have nothing to get up an excitement
about. Now and then you will hear II
Wright man "spout" IL little, and then
you will hear Wilson man blow his

swindlcrs any way. Besides, we have
fallen behind in our calculations, and 10
keep from repudiating We will say the
railroads owe them. We know the
bondholder has no recourse on the rail
roads, but there is nothing like being
smart" Is this the sort Of moral phi
losophy you would teach?
Why are you not willing, Mr.. VIII
son, for this matter to be settled by the
Legislaturel Are you afraid We would
not select an sintelligent body of men ?
Do you not find it easier to get into Of
flee by talking about railroads, monopo-
lies, bondholders, &C., and making the
people believe they ought not to pay Il
debt? 1t is easy to make man believe
what he wants..;o believe. and men can
vote folded tickets. In the Legislature
the world can find out how each member
votes.
Now, I am poor, unfortunate
wretch, and know that Il man should
not be admired for what he may or may
not possess Of riches, but for what he Is.
| further know that the capitalist and
laboring man are beholding to each
other, and they ought to respect each
other as tellow-travelers, and the man
who would try to excite the prejudice OF
one class against another is not friend
to his country. He would swindle, him
self, to get into Office and would swindle
the people after he got in.
Now, | have dealt in facts so far as
know, and hope the Democrats will go
solid for John V. Wright for Governor
and A. Il. David for Representative.

Yes, sir. We believe Wilson will
get about 800 votes in this county,
and Wright will get about 500. If we

cause he is on platform that suits u.s.
But YOU Wilson men are entitled to
your views, and We are equally entitled

We have had some killing frosts.
The most of the wheat crop sown is
up, with good stand, and looking we'll.
The farmers are getting in their corn.
The dry weather has cured early corn
sufficient to house.
The works ut the Foundry are pro-
crossing rapidly. They have employed
about 10 hands. They expect to in
crease this force by 16 more this weeks
They have three hot blast stoves under
Roadway, each to be 60 feet high, and
one completed. They will get the brick
work of the cast house completed this
week. The brick work of the engine
house is completed. Two stock sheds
for material-50x2O0 feet, and u feet
high-are under Roadway. The smoke
stack or chimney, which is to be 1850
feet high, is under Roadway. These
works present quite an interesting scene.
| notice other improvements going up
in COwan.

The farmers are busy gathering crops
and sowing wheat, and attending to
their own business. They have no
back biting, but business enough to at
tend to without going into spasms about
politics.
Our schools will show for themselves.
We have good teachers, and the people
keep their eyes open in passing. Some
people are wise in their own conceit, but
We propose to be honest and Industrious.
Corn crops good. No sickness among
our cattle-no cholera among hogs. Nc
murders or stealing, and | wish the
same could be said for the whole coun
try. Yours, My By.
