Democratic Party.

senator Jackson and the National
Democratic Party.
To the Editors of the Appeal:
The Bate Democratic party would like TO
know if Hawkins, RUSSELL aud the sky
blues have heard the gun fired by the Demo
cratic party of Ohio which has buried the
Republican party under a majority OF %,
600? If not, let them take shelter in time,
for Bate and his followers will fire another
gun on the 9TH OF Nov, mber that will like
wise wine out of exisi ence the unnatural
ties of Hawkins, RUSSELL and the sky-blues.
AS the good news flashed over the wires OF
that glorious victory observe the consterna-
ton and pale faces in the "sky-blue" Re
publican camp as they read the handwriting
on the wall" of their own death-knell. This
victory for Democracy comes, too, after
Jackson, The sky-blues' boosted champion,
said The Democrats could never win a VIC
tory while advocating Bate and his platform.
The good news is political death 10 the false
prophet, Jackson, the sky-blues, Hawkins
and all their allies. The boosted Jackson,
who is doing all be can 10 defeat Bate, not
only said the Democrats could not win in
other States while advocating Bates cleo
ton, but went great way out oil his path
to help the cause OF Hawkins by say
ing the course of the Democratic party
on 81 ate-debt questions caused the Democrats
most emphatically that that was the cause
of our defeat, and if Howell E. jackson
had been as DESTROYS OF serving the Demo
cratic cause in Tennessee as he was to draw
votes from Bate and transfer them TO Hawk
ins & Co, he would not have Withheld the
whole truth which caused our defeat III
1880 Ii he had desired the overthrow oil
the Republican party in this State as much
as he, Russell and the sky-blues desire the
defeat of Bate and his followers, he should
like true Democrat, have held up to scorn
and indignation the modes and methods by
which the Republicans did defeat u in that
contes'. He (Jackson) and the RUSSELL sky.
blues have not the fairness and courage even
of the Republicans, and by Republican tes-
iimony he shall be condemned, for Harper's
WeeEly, the strongest Republican paper in
the whole conptry, said, after the election,
that it was carried for the Republicans by
Dorsey's manipulations OF Indians" Ii
Jackson and the RUSSELL party had desired
to put the question fairly and damage Hawk
ins & Co. rather than the Democratic party,
why did not Jackson tell the people the whole
truth and gay 10 them the Democrats lost
the presidency by Dorsey's corruptions
through two dollar bills, by which he stole
the votes of Indians. And il he desired the
overthrow of Hawkins & Co. as much 80 as
Bate & Co, why did he not go farther and
Tell US no" tue hepuoHcan parry Fatseu
millions of dollars by assessing widows and
orphans, stealings from the Slar-route, and
10000 other corrupt measures which de-
feated the Democrats in said election? Fus-
sell, Jackson & Co. have a fue field fer
painting corruption, when they strike on the
Republican party, but in this fight it seems
they have received orders either from the
Republican party or the bondholdtrs to
touch lightly on Hawkins & Co., but pitch
into Bate, the only man who can and will
defeat Hawkins and all his allies ZORAB,
