Tennessee was represented to the
best advantage possible under the
circumstances. But for a feeling of
indifference in the State In reference
to making display of our resources,
ETC., the State whould have been
more creditably represented. Our
booth had only handful of articles
donated, while the booths of other
States all around us were teeming
full of donated articles from factory,
store, mine, forest and field The
few specimens of Tennessee mar
BILE which were sent in
at the last moment from the Knox
vile Marble Company were much
admired. Harry Griscom deserves
to be known as the
ONLY LIVE MAN IN CHATTANOOGA.
It is no wonder that our State is
behind the age when such opportu-
mites as this are allowed to pass by
unimproved No wonder our re
sources slumber in the earth, since
our people show no disposition to
wake up themselves. Nothing but
the crack of doom will suffice to stir
some of their lethargic souls
You have already been noti-
fed of the fact of Judge Houkss
great victory in the Presidential
Watch contest. This was by far the
most exciting contest which occurred
during the fair. Nearly every State
had her candidate in the field. The
Tennessee convention, knowing
Judge Houks running qualities,
placed him in nomination. Senator
Blaine started off with good lead.
Senator Logan soon rallied and went
ahead of the field. By this hour
Judge Houk's candidacy became
known, and he at once went to the
front, The contest waxed most ex>
citing. People lost interest in other
features of the fair and gathered
around the ballot-box The cry was:
''who shall and who shan't" But at
a time long while before the close
of the contest, we knew our man
was almost sure of success. We
could count among his active sup>
porters, many OF. the most infuen-
tial people present. When the bat
tie closed the scene was most ami
mated. The Judges friends were
wild with excitement. One colored
man from Arkansas shouted
"DAR NOW,
done tole ye dat man Houk gwine
ter be President some day.
The watch which was awarded the
Judge is most beautiful and elegant
piece of wo kmanship. When the
inscriptions on it are all completed
they will be furnished your readers.

The New South.

Governor Cameron says: Eleven
million dollars had been saved in
principal upon basis of readiust>
ment that was honorable to all par
ties. Twenty one million four huns
dred thousand dollars of the State
debt had been paid in the short PEI
Rod of Readjuster ascendency, while
in the years of Democratic rule the
only result accomplished was to add
to the liabilities of the State. Taxa
ton had been reduced 20 per cent,
though when the Readiuster party
came into power everything was
bankrupt except profuse profess
sion of honor, which promised to
pay everything and paid nothing.
When he came into the gubernato-
rial office the Commonwealth was
borrowing money from the
banks of the State. Now the
banks are running after him to find
out where was to be deposited
the money with which the treasury
was overfowing. Under Readjuster
rule provision had been made for the
care of the lunatics, so, now, that
these unfortunates were not confined
in jails with common felons, Money
had been recovered from defaulting
Democratic officials, and the amounts
that had been tilched from the school
fund by the Boturbons had been re,
placed, and besides S25, 900 per quar-
ter had been added to the sum set
apart for the education of the chill
dren of the State. An economical
administration had been promised
by the Readjuster leaders, During
nine months nearly half million of
debt incurred under Bourbon rule
had been paid, and to day there was
a surplus in the State treasury of
S768,000. 1t had been promised that
the right of suffrage throughout
Virginia should be free, and a. the
next election it would only be neces-
sary for every voter to come
forward and cast his ballot
for the candidate of his
choice without fear or favor Re-
adjusterism was progressive. What
reproach could be cast upon the Re-
adjuster party to>day for advocating
policy that would start the hum Of
manufacture within the State, and
tap the pent-up mineral wealth that
now lay dormant in the eternal hills
of the Old Dominion 1t was the
highest craftsmanship to broaden out
such discussion until it took in the
whole nation. Under this system
: the great States of the Union have
grown up to gigantic statue, and ole
: Virginia needed just such nourish-
!, ment. The Readjuster party pro-
posed to furnish this, and it expected
every true man in the State to hell
to this end. All, whether white o.
black, would GO this 1t. had beer
sought to warp the colored man ava,
from the Reasljuster party, but, IL
making the experiment of lifting tn
colored voter into full rights and
free ballot, the Readjuster party fel
} assured that taey had made no mis-
II take.

for not consulting him before 1t
came, vents his surplus malice on
capitalists and corporations.
We have been led to make these
rem arks by noticing disposition
on the part of several Bate papers,
and especially the Nashville World
and the Knoxville Tribune, to stir
up prejudice against the Railroads
of our State.
This war on railroads was the
chief plank in the Wilson repudiat-
iug platform tive years ago. Mr..
Wilson and his fellow regulators
went all over Tennessee piling their
anathemas on our railroads. Col.
Savage and his host of regulators
have, in like manner, Numbered
against our railroads, rising early
to throw their bolts and retiring
late so as to make the daily bonn
bardment as long and as terrible as
possible.
AO AsCpOhlCoA al 10 SOhAO-
times accused Of being a railroad
party because we dare stand up for
railroad rights. And we have been
accused of being the poor mans
party because we dare stand up for
poor mems rights.
Both of these accusations are
wrong in the sense intended to be
conveyed by the accusers. We are
neither the rich mans party nor the
poor mans party; neither the rail-
road party nor the dirt-road party.
But we are everybody's party. We
advocate every mans rights, we re-
dress every mans wrongs. We do
not stop to inquire whether you are
rich or poor, whether the road is a
railroad or dirt road, and put
everybody on an equality of rights,
and protect everybody's rights with
equal zeal and efficiency.
The Republican party does not
try to tear anybody down but tries
to build everybody up. 1t does not
strive to make the rich poor but
strives to make the poor rich. 1t
does not seek to convert the rail-
roads into dirt roads, but does seek
to convert dirt roads into railroads.
Equal and exact justice to all,
special privileges to none, is the
essence Of all true Republicanism.
Hence we look with frowns upon
the attempts of politicians and pa
pers to stir up amin osity against
railroads, just as we look with
frowns upon any attempt on the
part of railroads to obtain undue
advantages over the people.
For eight years now the dema-
gogues and regulators have been
going over Tennessee charging the
railroads with being the cause OF
our ills. Nevertheless, the rail
roads have lived through it all, and
have increased and have prospered;
and Tennessee has prospered, and
prospered although these dema-
gogues and repudiators have falsely
pretended that the railroads were
running the State.
The truth is, Tennessee cannot
prosper without our railroads, and
our railroads cannot prosper with
out Tennessee prospers. They stand
or fall together. Like Siamese
twins the blood of each flows into
the system of the other, and the
person or party that hurts one
hurts the other; and the person or
party that helps one helps the
other.
We make these general observa-
tons preliminary to some special
observations we will make to.

THE SHIP OF STATE

again moves from the moorings.
The Presidents message receives
the highest need of praise f.om all
quarters. His views on the question
of civil service, while they are not
in detail the same as those
held by many advocates of a
reform in this direction are substan-l
italy the same. He exp1 esses a

Gates regulating the tenure of SUBJ.
ordinate ofice-holders by law. AS a
result of his suggestions on the sub
ject of education, the public senti-
ment is growing in favor of national
aid for the public schools of the
country. The South is more inter-
ested in this subject than any other
section, and although the doctrine of
national intermedling in State affairs
has heretofore met with discourage
ment among the Southern people,
we will doubtless see Southern mem
7bers and Senator supporting this
doctrine. An intelligent ballot is the
sure bulwark of our enduring liber>
ties. The general govern Il nt will
be doing very wise act to even up
the grade Of intelligence throughout
all the States. IF, by the evils of
war, we of the South have fallen be-
hind in means of education and the
diffusion of knowledge, the govern.
ment will be helping herself by helps
ing us. The South will regard
PRESIDENT ARTHUR
as her true friend for his advocacy of
this measure, for she is mainly to
profit by it. The suggestions re-
garding a revision of the tariff
are timely and gratifying. Our
farmers will be glad to know that
there are hopes of having the tax re-
moved from tobacco SO that they
may be allowed to sell the "weed''
once more as they did in the good
old days that are past.
Fact is, the Presidents views are
reassuring throughout, and are be-
ing praised by Democrats as well as
Republicans of all factions. It gives
fresh impetus to the sailing of the
Republican ship, and there are no
doubts left of her entire ability to
sail through fair and foul weather
