RossyILLE, Tenn, Oct. %, 1880
Ed. PUBIC LEDGER The Appeal
of to-day comes out with very unfa-
yorable news to the Wilson party, say
ing that the Wilson committee had
failed to further stick to him, etc
How is it2 We, the Wilson men, of
this community are yet solid and will
remain so until we hear from you.
Then if his party has failed to stick to
him, we will support the party Of John
V. Wright, as we are true democrats
and will use all proper means to de-
feat a radical candidate. We hope
that these reports are without a foun-
dation. Respectfully, M.
In reply to the above we would say
to our correspondent, the most of
these reports of defections in the
Wilson party are simply campaign
devices put out on the eve of the
election for effect when it is too late
for denials to reach the people. vii.

son will get some $1,000 and odd votes,
and that, too, after persistently say
ing that he never had respectable fol-
lowing, in numbers or material, and
latterly declaring that there has been a
tremendous reaction from Wilson to
Wright. We have this to say in all

Mr.. Edison Says the New YOrB
Globes Do Not Crack.


The electric lights in Menlo Park
looked yellow in contrast with the hight
of the full moon last evening-as gel
low as gas-lights appear in contrast
with the electric lights. A number of
globes containing the lights that have
been up 200, 500 and 400 hours have
been found to be cracked where the
wires pierce the glass. and have been
taken down. Their places have been
filled with the new lamps, none OF
which have cracked. Mr.. Edison said
last evening that these new lamps gave
him good reason to believe that they
would not crack at all. He has now
eighty-two lights agl wv on the circuit.
This is the largest number yet used.
Three new buildings are now in course
Ut erection on the laboratory grounds.
One is for the glass-blowers, a second
for the fourteen dynamo machines by
which Mr.. Z iison proposes to start ZOO
lights. and the third is machine shop.
Mr.. Ellison was having a number of
dynamo machines made at the Western
Dynsmo-electric Machine Works, at
Newark, n. J. + We of these were
ready to be sent to Menlo Park yester-
day morning. A fire broke out In the
works early in the morning, and the
machinery was badly damaged. The
silver plating, which is done by means
of electric mschines, and also the manu-
facture of The machines, will have to
be suspended for some time in conse-

Ia May, 1878, Senator Coke delivered
speech in the United Ssates Senate
against resumption. Tue following
quotation from his speech shows what
kind of a prophet the senator is:
Il is better, Mr.. President, that we
bide our tims, and turn back from the
frightful abyss of run which yawus
across the pathway 10 resumption.
The experiment must end in failure,
and eDgulf the country in lower depth
of misery than it has yet fathomed.
The bulk Of tie State, private and saw
ings banks, with the vast sums of the
peoples deposits, must 90 by the board
by reason Of the insufhciency Of their
reserves, and many Of the nationsl
banks must fall nom the same cause.
In this general crash the whole system,
from the treasury down, must succumb.
Il is simply a question Of time, for the
result must occur, and in ny judgment
that time will be very short after the
