Old Pine Tree Maine
The State of Jim Blaine
Has Joined the Democratic train =!

All the towns in Maine have
been heard from except SIX. So that
it is now known that neither the Re-
publican or the Fusionist is elected
Governor. The Republican caudi-
date will have a plurality not exceed
ing $50 votes. He will lack howev-
er near 100 of majority. There is
no misunderstanding the meaning of
this result. Nobody expected it. No
we'll informed democrat outside of
Maine expected less than 10000
Republican majority. 1t gave Hayes
nearly 10000 over TiIden. 1t was
always Republican till the fraud of
1876 was developed. Since then it
has been wavering. Our Republican
friends attributed this wagering to
local causes. We were disposed to
accept this explanation. We had
noted the fact that since 1875, every
State except five had voted MAORI
ties against the republican party !;
but we confess we were not prepar-
ed to believe that these past cleo
tions indicated the ruin of the Repub-
Iican party. But there is no mistake
as to the meaning of this election in
Maine. The honest masses have
repudiated republicanism. Blaine
the shrewdest of them all, with I'M
limited money, with help from every
where, with full knowledge OF the
fearful result to his party all over
the country which failure would
briug-has failed. Name, one of
the staunchest of the Republican
States, on the eve Of great presi.
Dental contest has failed to vote re-
publican. Upon the fullest vote
ever polled in the State. the MAORI
ty is against that party. Every
body knows the effect which this Re-
suit has already produced. In every
State, the floating doubtful voters
have taken their stand on the strong
side. States thai we're doubtful
fortnight ago, are not doubtful now,
States Qike Maine) that were conce'
ded by all to Garfield have now be-
come doubtful. The fercest battles
are to be fought not in New York,
Indiana and Ohio, but in Maine,
Pennsylvania, Illinois, California,
Wisconsin. The cry of a solid South
and a solid North, will no longer be
heard in the land, except from the
mouths Of idiots. The waning star
of Garfield went out last week, in the
full blaze of the rising sun Of Han
cock-It was Maine that did it

ROB TAYLOR'S SPEECH.

We offer no apology for taking SO
much of our space this week for Bob
Tayler's speech on the Internal Rev
enue bill. We simply commend the
speech to the thoughtful considera-
ton of our readers. 1t shows that
the boy Congressman from the First
district Of Tennessee comprehends
the interests of his people as fulIyas
the oldest men in the House. 1t
shows Bob Taylor to be constitu.
.tional lawyer of no mean ability.
The speech is a bold manly effort in
favor of the revenue ridden people
of this mountain country. 1t tells
the truth about the injustice and OPP
preston Of the revenue law as it
stands and as it has been enforced
by Pettibone and his crew for so
many long years, 1t speaks forth
the feelings of man who is one Of
the people. in the shape Of an unan-
swerable, logical argument. Read

We read Of the departure Of Mr.. job n
Scherf, Oate proprietor Of the Lamar
Heuse,) permanently from Knoxville
with sincere regret. We have known
him personally and intimately for mere
than a decade, and have marked his
guilelessness as a friend and his integri-
ty as man Ia the community where
he has lived So long he is appreciated
and inspected as one Of the most affable,
accommodating, and intelligent caterers
to a migratory public that ever presided
over a city caravansary. His -withd raw
al from the Lamar House was to take
charge of the Rankin House, one of the
largest and most elegantly equipped no.
tells in the South, just completed at Col
umbus, Ga. To our Georgia friends,
and especially to eur press COntempora'
ries Of that city and State we say when
you meet John Scherf you meet a man
with heart as big as fodder stack
and a German Democrat as reliable and
true as steel. The sincerest good wishes
of all who knew him in East Tennessee
goes with him to his new home. May
his tribe increase aud his shadow long
remain.

THE TURLBYoS MILL CONYEN-
TTON

A convention to nominate a Dem
ocraLic candidate for Representative
in Hamblcn and Granger, met at
Turkeys Mill, last Friday. Owing
to the very short notice. there was
not a full attendance Of delegates.
The convention organized and adj
journed to Friday of this week, when
it will reasonable at the same place.
1t is sincerely hoped and desired
that as many of the delegate as pos
sible from each county will be pres
ent Friday.
We want to say that much, very
much, of party success depends up
on the action of that convention.
We want to say that it will be a
blunder if that convention under-
takes to grind any mans axe
There is some where in the two
counties a sound, heightened geutle.
man, possessing undOubted ability,
with unstained personal character,
and qcho is not an office seeker. A
mau who, when elected, will dare to
do his duty in the legislature. Let
the convention hunt up that man,
and offer him the race. Such q man
will command the votes Of honest
men of all parties. He will add
strength to the general ticket and
will be elected. no mau act pos
sessing these characteristics can or
ought to be elected. Let the con-
yention remember that the facI that
a man is candidate gives him no
claim on it. Let it look to the in
terests of the party, if in doing SO
il utterly ignores the interests of
aspirants. Let it demand the ser
vice of some good man-onc upon
whom we can depend.

THE GEORGE WASHINGTON
EXHIBITION.
The One Show that Does Exhih=
it All it AdVertiSes.

it All it AdVertiSeS.
Sells Brothers w orld's Fair of Won
ders, and Werld-famous Menagerie and
Circus. which is to exhibit at Knoxville
on Friday, October 1st, is as pre-emi-
ncnt for truthfulness as for everything
else, and prides itself upon filling its
vast tents, not by wholesale misrepre-
sentation, but through hone ably filling
its bills in every respect, and presenting
everywhere every feature advertised.
This is the secret of its tremendous pop
ularity and success, and justities the
press everywhere in lending it the aid
of its powerful voice. 1t gave exhibit
tions in Louisville an September Sd and
4th, and here is what the Courier Journal
says of it;
The audience last Night numbered at
least ten thousand. The advertisement
were fully justified The show stands
for itself 1t is the best beyond ques-
ton, on the road. The living hippopO-
tamil were muade to walk around the
ring and show their beautiful features
TO the crowd. A herd of six performing
Colorado cattle, presented newell spec
tacIe, and gave evidence of good intel
Iigerce. The human sized ape, which
rode bareback, was another remarkable
constituent of the show. 1t went
through nearly all the feats done by hu.
man horseback riders, and was greeted
with greatest enthusiasm. The perform
Jag dogs had several fresh acts in their
redertoire and pleased the crowd i'm
mensely. Fourteen performing thor
ourbbreds presented beautiful sight
The show concluded with an excellent
bareback exhibition, full of wild and
daring feats. The Sells Bros. are to be
CONGRATULATED on the excellent circus
and menagerie they have collected. In
no respect have they failed to give what
thew nromised, and their exhibition is
heartily recommended to the patronage
of other cities as one that is worthy Of
all that is claimed for it.

THE DFY4GOGURS CRY.

The demagogue cry Of low tax"
is the fimsiest humbug that was ev-
er invented to lead an honest com
munity into committing crime
against themselves, their children
and their country. 1t is a subter-
fuge too thin and baseless to deceive
any intelligent man, and will only
capture those who are predisposed
to repudiate the bonds of the State
and to refuse to pay any Of the pub
lie debt, whether justly or wrongful
Iy contracted.
When those who assume to be
leaders endeavor to pursuade the
people to do wrong and TO commit
an outrage upon common honesty.
they ought to be Indignantly frown'
ed down by the whole community
and consigned to private life. This
whole trouble has grown out OF the
efforts of a few men to get control
of the Democratic party in the State
and 10 get into Office. They talk

Tie Inconsistency of Garfield in
advocating one course as a lawyer,
