threw him, breaking his leg, and the
sutton considerably bore him back

had led the father to believe, but
belonged to wealthy and respectable

In the ever to be remembered can,
vass Of 1850 less than dozen papers
supported Mr.. Wilson, the s'low-tax'
candidate, for Governor. The LED
GER was the only permanent daily pa
per in the State that carried his name
at its mast heal. There was posi-.
bility at one time that he would be
elected. But the lack of organization
ON the one hand and the strong pros
poets Of Hancock's election, together
with all manner Of Misrepresentation
on the other, had a telling effect.
Many who preferred Wilson to Wright
lacked the nerve to vote their real
sentiments and actually went over to
Wright or to Hawkins at the last mo-
ment. Money was lavishly spent to
carry the Democrats for Wright, and
nearly all the ofice-brokers and Of
ice-seekers went over to that side
Many we're induced to vote for the
regular nominee" so called by the
fear that otherwise they would not be
recognized by the National Democrat
ic administration. The most Of the
Democratic papers fell into line and
supported Judge Wright. A Repub-
lican Governor stepped in between
the divided Democrats. The high
tax Democrats repudiated the
coupon plank of their own platform,
went over to the Republicans, asked
for no negotiation" went back on
their pledges in general and in detail
and voted for the infamous act known
as the 1908. This brought many
people to their senses. They saw that
they had been betrayed in the house of
their friends. A reaction set in at
once and as an evidence of this we find
that the following papers have spoken
out against the 1908 act:
Huntsville Sentinel.
Sparta ExpOsitor.
Shelbyville Commercial,
Nc Minnville New Era.
Gallatin Examiner.
Gibson County Mirror.

As We do not exchange with every
paper in the State, or even with all
the above list of papers, a few mis-
takes may have been made. But this
list cannot be very far wrong. 1t in
dicates anyway a healthy reaction in
favor Of the people against rings and
monied Hobbies. The LEDGER is not
near SO lonesome as it was some months
ago, and has good reason to expect
more company yet. We feel assured
of one thing: no trick of legislation
can ever be made binding upon the
people Of Tennessee when great issues
are at stake. No man will feel bound
by it, and no lobbyist need feel that
his work is secure. The people will
abide by an honest, equitable settle
ment, but nothing else. They are
neither dishonest, hypocritical, or ig.
norant to the history of the State
debt. Those who think SO might as
we'll whistle against the next breeze
from the northwest.

Nice, March ..24.--up to this hour 80
bodies have been recovered from tho ruins Of
the Italian opera house, which was ast .royed
by fire last night. l! Is feared that many
more persons lost their lives. The Rre COM
menced coon after the curtain had risen for
the performance Of LUCIA dc Lammamoor.
The subscribers for tho orchestra seats and
boxes Of the grand tier had mostlv not ar
rived. Tho majority ofthe victims belong
to the working class Shortly after the flr0
begsn..the gas exploded AID tho house was
plunged into complete darkness A scene Of
terror and dismsy ensued which beggars
description. A detachment Of sailors
from squadron in the harbor
arrived on tho scene with pumps
and displayed galantfy in rescuing
the people and combMing tho fire, which
was subdued toward 10 o'clock. M. Stra-
kosch, the impSessSrio, WAS slightly hurt;
Sgnora Beanca nonady, oneof the leading
artists, made her way from the stage to the
street safely; one whole family of i've per.
sons and another family of three people are
knowned TO have persisted. Relief subscrip-
tions for the suffering have been opened
throughout Nice.
The Regatta here has been countermand-
cd, and the value Of the prizes 10 have been
contested for will be contributed toward tho
relief of tho distressed"
New York, March 2i.--A Paris special
says it has been ascertained that tho cause
of the tre which destroyed tho opera
house at Nice last night was a
lcak in tho gas pipe behind tho scenes. The
leak was made quickly in some way yet un-
known and allowed great volume of gas to
escape. This igniied before the leak was
discovered from the rear of tho stage The
gas exploded which at once set all the scenery
and inhsmmable material on the stage on fire
and before the audience recovered from their
first horror Of fire tho building was in flames.
To add TO the calamity, some ono turned the
gas off in an effort to stop the fire. Then q
terrible panic ensued. The audience
became frantic, snd:endeavoring 10 escape
, all sought personal safety, and
the weaker mon and women were
; remorsolessly knocked aside and trampled
upon. Many of tho actors and choristers
. were burned TO death. Ono hundred and
/ fifty dead bodies have already been dug ou,
. of tho ruins to-day.
