WHICH IS BEST
Dyersburg Gazette: "Gen. Bate can say to
the ca editor, here is proposition which ia a
settlement, while Mr.. RUSSELL can only cay
we accept proposition from a few of you
and We are very uncertain whether you ever
get any money on that proposition or not.
Which is advocating the more honest policy :?
We leave it to the people and creditors to
say"
BY THEIR SUPPORTERS YE SHALL KNOW
THEM.
Somerville Falcon: ''The fact that
WeSther-cock Etheridge, commonly called
Emerson, and the Memphis Avalanche, are
both staunch supporters CT Russell, is the
best proof we know that the boilers are in
in league with the 'damradikiis,' TO use
pet phrase OF the newspaper mentioned"
SOLID FOR BATE.
Knoxville Tribune: "The Democracy of
East Tennessee is solid for Bate for governor.
There is no denying the fact We have re-
ports from every county TO confirm our state
ment. TRe Democrats of East Tennessee
are the best IN Tennessee, and they all go to-
gether. The bolter organs are becoming ues-
perate and resort TO vltuperation and misrep
resentatiou. II they lie to the same extent
about Middle and West Tennessee as they do
about East Tennessee, then the Russell fol-
lowing is a hazzie indeed. We know whereof
we speak Wnen we say mat the DE IN Ocracy oil
East Tennessee is for Bate. We are in a
position TO know, aud have taken pains 10
find out the truth"
NO CONCESSIONS TO BoLTERs
Nashville World: "There is no sign of
anything like a disposition upon the
part OF regular Democracy in this or any
other county in the State to make
concessions TO the boiler element upon the
legislative canvass. With an eagerness
which despair alone produces, boilers and
their organs all over the State ask for fusion
on the legislative tickets. Many strong rea-
sons exist and might be given why such an
excellently well-deserved scheme meets with
an unqualified and final rebuff. The first
one sufficiently covers the ground TO make it
needless task TO give another. That reason
is that Democracy needs no fusion with
party which contains alone the eiementssrof
superlative weakness, and which, with only
a name without members can neither give
respect nor confidence 10 ticket composed
of ingredients so combstive and selfde-
structive, IS such fusion necessarily
must be-"
THIS TAKES THE CAKE.
Extract from procee dings Of the Houk
convention at Knoxville; while Houk was
speaking, little negro came on the stage
and presented him with printed circular OF
John B. Brownlow's letter, Ia which Houk
was charged with having been drunk in
Washington and imprisoned at the police
station. Judge Houk here proceed. ID to give
Brownow dressing down. He character
lied his charge as false, and said there was
but one time when such thing could have
happened. That was one time when some one
attempted TO take his life by poisoning Some
one had put poison in his drinking cup in
the committee room. He drank water off
this poison and it came near killing him.
Judge Houk said he had never before told
this circumstance in public, though it was
known TO a number OF intimate friends
Detectives are now on the track of the MUIR
derous scouudrels who thus attempted, in
this murderous manner, TO take Judge
Houk's life" For real, old-fsshioned,
three-ply lie this takes the cake.
