THE Democrats Of Tennessee owe a
debt Of lasting gratitude to the Louis
vile Courier Journal for the active
and powerful aid it has rendered in
behalf of General Bate and true
Democracy. The boilers had counted
on this great journals influence, but
they counted without their host.
Whatever might have been the
Courier. J ournal's position in regard
to former alleged settlements of the
State debt, when the issue was squarely
made between Democracy and Repub
licaDism it hOisted the true flag and
made a fight which contributed greatly
to the triumph Of the party. One or
more correspondents we're kept in the
field throughout the canvass. One of
these, Mr.. Q. Il. Merrill, went on duty
at an early day. He reported to the
Democratic Central Committee at
Nashville for orders. Hetravelled all
over the State and did an incredible
amount of bard work. Scarce a day
passed that he did not furnish from
one to two columns of live, terse, well
written matter by telegraph or mail.
The people looked to the Courier.
Journal for the news as much as to
any paper in Nashville or Memphis,
and then its circulation was more
evenly diffused over the State than
any Of them. To that paper and its
correspondents the people are eindebted
for announcement and valuable aid.

Hon. G B. Simonton deserves great
credit for the sincere and active sup
port he rendered Casey Young. Unlike
some defeated candidates, who retire
from a convention in disgust and take
no further interest in the canvass, Mr..
Simonton took the stump in favor OF
his successful competitor and made
his influence felt. He made
his last speech at Atoka, in the
district where he was born and
raised, and we notice that
Casey Young ran ahead Of Gen.
Bate, at that precinct. Mr.. Simonton
deserves great credit and the thanks
Of every Democrat in the district for
his manly and patriotic course. He
is a young man of high promise and
should he ever desire to reenter pol
itics he would come before the people
with many advantages in his favor.

FOREIGN AFFAIRS.

Special Cable to Western Associated Press.
LONDON, November 8.-The Tele
graph says Englishmen can hardly
contemplate with equanimity the
probability that the next President Of
the Unsted States will be Democrat,
as it is doubtful whether the changes
which the Democrats are certain to
introduce in the American tariff will
be Of any advantage to England and
it is also worthy Of recollection that
the Democratic party which was al
ways deeply dyed in antagonism to
England is so still. Whether elections
results in Republican or Democratic
victory Englishmen may heartily wish
their kinsmens deliverance from
machine politics which is fraught with
menace to the interests of America.

Special to the Cincinnati Commercial.
NEW YoRY, November 6.-The
Academy of Music was to night
crowded with the fashion and beauty
OF New York towitness the debut Of
Adelina Patti for this season, her first
appearance in an opera in this country
since she left it, young girl, more
than twenty years ago. Her entrance
on the scene in the first act, was the
signal for long continued applause.
She was most exquisitely clad in a
dress Of pink silk, richly trimmed
with lace. She looked bright and
youthful, and, it possible, more
beautiful than at the Opera Festival
last year, She was in perfect voice
From the first moment she began to
sing her melodiOus vocalization, the
golden quality of tone and perfect
method won the hearts and hands of
the audience, Before the curtain fell
upon the first act the enthusiasm
reached a high pitch, which culmi-
mated in several recalls before the
curtain, and an avalanche of flowers
The wedding dress Patti wears in the
second act is a marvel.
1t was white satin with an overskirt
Of delicate tissue decked with golden
stars. Her singing all through this
and other acts was a succession of tri
umpAs, in which Gallassi and Nico
lini me in for their share Of the
favors After eacll act she was re
peatediy cheered and called before the
curtain with new gifts Of flowers. The
public were prepared to hear Patti
sing perfectly, but her superb acting
was a surprise and delight. She said
to day that she looked forward to the
Cincinnati opera festival with pleas
ure. She had not appeared there last
year to her own satisfaction, and in
tended to do her best IN January next.
She said archly: 81 will not have
cold-not at all" This has been
gala night.

is primarily attributable to the widespread
dissatisfaction of both the democratic and
republican masses with the discreditable
and generally high-handed manner in
which republican Office holders have been
conducting the affairs of government for
several years pa st. In all this the tariff
and internal revenue questions have played
