They say BookwaIter was defeated in
Ohio because he was private citizen
and not versed in political lore. We re-
member a similar case in Tennessee
wherein one Frank Cheatham was de

Il The republicans elected all their nom
inees in Cincinnati except the colored
man. They nominated him but they
wouldn't vote for him. Republicans
have no use for Niger except to vote
for him. |.tt.r
'Jorgenson, stalwart congressman
from Virginia, has come out for Ma
hone, saying that little Honie's vote
against Bayard was enough to prove he
was as good u republican as lives,
breathes or steals
a new idea is born into the world
Solomon to the contrary non est iHveH-
tlla when a big man dies they will
cut him up into several funerals so a. to
accommodate a grief-strieken public and
avoid crowds and drunken congressman.
The opinion is growing that G;.iteau
Is crazy. Whether so or not, by long
drawn trials and appeals his punish
ment viii be long deferred. Tom Blu
ford committed worse crime with a
clearer head. Who knows but that
Guiteau will be adjudged lunatic.
1t is announced that Nashville is soon
to have another new paper, and that
SO, 600 has already been subscribed.
1t will be run IN the interest of the low
tax or reputation party, and it is un-
derstood that Hon. 5. F. Wilson, late
candidate for governor, will be the
editor. This seems to be crOwding
things in the newspaper line in Nash
Vile.
Guiteau's brother refuses to have any
thing TODD with him. This is carrying
the thing just one button hole too far.
The man who would desert his brother
anywhere is made of worse stuff than
the brother. We fail to see wherein
Guiteau is any worse than the thou
ands of other murderers. Why exc
crate him more thnn they? Let him be
hanged, but let this iusufierable affectl-
ton of adherence subside. We would
fear to risk that brother.
1t seems that the telegraph cOmpa-
MES are growing very Indifferent and
negligent with their business. The
other day we sent telegram to Cincin-
natl and it was fifteen hours before it |
was delivered A young friend OF ours
received dispatch from San Diego, Cal,
Friday which was two days in reaching
here. Rather we should say telegram,
for dispatch is a misnomer. He could
send boy on a mule with the message
and get it through nearly that soon.
Senator David Davis was elected by
the republicans last Thursday to preside
over the senate. Mr.. Bayard had hard
ly warmed the seat before he was
ousted. Davis and Bayard both de-
clined to vote. Mr.. Davis claims to
independent consistency are rendered
quite questionable now. The plum
looked too sweet and he yielded. 1t
was found that this was the price of
his independence. The democrats did |
not murmur.
Guiteau was arraigned in court last
Friday. Alarge crowd eagerly pressed
to catch sight OF an inAnimate, detected,
pale wretch, who is already broken in
spirit and overcome with nervous APP
preheRsion of his certain fate. He
plead not guilty in feeble voice and |
asked to make a statement, but it was |
denied him. His counsel moved for con- |
tinuance, which was granted to Nov.
9Th. and said that the defense would be /
insanity, and that the shooting was not
the cause OF the death. This latter plea
will let in light on the treatment.
Fourteen Tennessee counterfeiters
were captured last week, and the detec-
tives are on the track of twenty-three
more The detectives, in many cases,
have 10 shove the queer with these
in order 70 establish suf-
hcient proof. Two of them got into
trouble at Paris, Tenn, the other day
by this, however. They were arrested
and committed to jail, having counter
felt money on their persons. They will
their ideatity and be set at
liberty, but it viii be some time before
they forget the joke.

agitators, were arrested last week and
