Somebody Had TO be Slaughtered.
Nashville World


1t is not often that man with bright pros
poets ahead of him and the future glittering
with rosy promise, will allow himself to be
slaughtered. We have no harsh words for
Mr. Russell, but he has been misled; in
fact, betrayed, and we tell him 30. Fulsome
compliments have been heaped upon him;
so far as we know he deserved these, but the
men who raked up all the good of his life
aud held it up before the public, were not
his friends. Somebody had TO be slaugh-
tered in the interest of the Republican
party-in the interest of those who had
broken faith with the people by their
adoption of the one-hundred-an d-three
bill. None of the well-known leaders
were willing to be sacrificed. A victim,
however, had to be found. They TOOK up an
honest young man who had never dabbled in
politics, and who was unknown outside of
his district. They, the judges, the generals,
the ringsters, the railroad agents and the
lobbyists led him to believe he could be
elected. Not man who voted 10 nominate
him believed or expected hecould be elected.
Not one OF them was willing himself TO make
the sacrifice. The prime object of the whole
movement was to get some man who would
carry away votes enough to elect Hawkins
and defeat Bate. This was the scheme. This
is the trap into which a seemingly deserving
young man has fallen. He will discover,
whe a too late, that he has made the mistake
of his life.

of bountiful crop.

II will be remembered that the night before
the convention of the 10th of June there was
some speechifying by several distinguished
gentlemen at Masonic Thester. 1t will be
remembered that Governor Marks was called
upon, and, among other things, said in sub
stance that zone of the pleasant recollections
of his administration was the reception OF a
letter indorsing his first message to the Legis-
lature from the Hon. Howell E. Jackson"
1t will be remembered that the Banner said
next day in substance that Governor Marks
had not heard the last of that letter, and denied
that such one had ever been in existence, and
that i (the BanBer) intended showing up
the whole thing. Since then, upon this sub
ject the Banner has been as dumb as an
oyster. 1t viii be remembered that the OBJ
lection raised by Senator jackson to the
Democratic platform is that it Disseminated
among our creditors. 1t will be remembered
that the boilers charge that GovernorlM arks's
first message was the entering wedge upon
the question of discrimination. We write
these linss to ask why the Bonner did not
pursue its exposure, and when Senator jack
son was converted from discrimination to an
