people. They will take no stock in an ar

Swayne launched his Ointment for the Piles

human suffering, the physicians laughed,

ces OF their mutual enemy, the republicans.
Such dssension is greatly to be regretted
at this juncture Of affairs. when the south,
with growing energies, is attempting to
heal the differences and assume once more
| its proper place and influence in the Union.
The loss to the democracy OF great
state like Tennessee under the circum.
stances cannot but be greatly felt, and al
good democrats can but hope and urge
that the two factions in Tennessee should
again come together as the difference be
tween them is so small, and roll up the old
time majority in behalf of honest and pro
gressive government. 1t is therefore dis
couraging that we note the growing viru
lence of their contest. Back of all is thu
great trouble that they will get so ia
apart as to prevent any future reunion
and the Mahon eizing of Tennessee will b.
complete. We trust then that the effort
of The more conservative of both wings TO
reconciliation will be redoubled.
