IN THE RIGHTDLRECTION.

Nashville World.
The certainty of victory is never
so much endangered rs by inactlon
and want of systematic effort. a
huge unwieldy body which is
sufficient by its momentum when
set in motion to crush all opposition,
requires a start in the right direc-
ton before its power becomes avail
able. The prospect of complete
triumph for the Democratic hosts
never was so glorious as at present.
County after county falls into line,
and the proud blazOn of Democratic
unity streams all over the State.
But even the widest enthusiasm
and the most encouraging indica-
tions are not tantamOunt to a syste-
matte and intelligent organization
of our forces. Democracy must not
RELY too entirely upon these fiatter-
ing indications, or underestimate the
force of the opposition. These warm
and ardent expectations may be
taken rs the certain tOrerunners OF
success, and beget indifference in
individuals who labor under the i'm
preston that everything is all right
anyhow" Attacked as it is on the
one hand by its ancient and implca-
BILE foe, Republicanism, and on the
other bv the children it has foster
ed, and in whom it once prided, the
coming contest for supremacy asks
no mere skirmish success. De-
mocracy wants to make such a vic
tory as shall make the campaign of
80 notable not only for the grand
event of the unifcatiOn of the house
hold. but also to be the anniversary
forever OF battle fought and vic
tory won which made a complete
and thorough demolition of its foes.
We cannot bring this glorious re-
suit without labor. Confidence is
one element of success, but over
confidence is like Cleopatra's asp
"a babe that sucks the nurse TO
J sleep"
! Organization is the secret of pO-
/ litical success, and no movement
deserves respect which lacks it.
Commencing at the source Of power,
the Democratic Executive Com
mittee have organized for the field,
to represent the whole State. Then
each grand division male sectional
organization, with ID. ID. Anderson,
Chair man for East Tennessee, j. NJ.
! Head fer Middle Tennessee and 5. y.
Champion for West Tennessee,
These are the field marshals under
whose eve the serried ranks of war
shall be prepared, and who with
wholesome and grateful discipline
shall add to the just quarrel, wherein
thrice armed they stand, the strong
hands of direction and organization,
so that Radicals, railroads and Dol.
tiers shall find no desultOry and
scattered forces, but a skillful and
experienced army ready for the fray.
Organize, be the watchword, and
victory will be the reward.

GUITEAU US BODY EXHUMED.

The Washington STIR of the 9th
says: "On Monday night wagon
drove into the Enclosure of the Jail,
and was for short time out of sight.
When it reappeared it was driven
to the city and into one of the alleys
through which the rear part of the
Army Medical Museum is reached.
This wagon, without doubt, contain
ed the body of Charles ]. Guiteau,
but the removal having been made
with secrecy, there were but few
even of the Jail guards who knew
of the departure of the remains. AT
the Army Medical Museum to-day
none of the physicians or other
officials would say anything about
the whereabouts of Guiteau's body
or what would be done with it. DR.
Lamb said very decidedly, II don't
know anything" Before it was de
cided to bury the body in the jail
Warden Croker had an understand
ing with DIR. Hicks that it should be
removed to the Army Medical
Museum. Warden Croker, when
asked about this latest removal
to-day, seemed rather displeased
that anything should have trans
pired concerning it. He said simply
off the body is not at the Medica
Museum it will be there in day OF
two" 1t was the warden's intcn
ton not to make the fact of the ex'
huming public for some weeks a
| least"

After giving a summary of the

The Century" July, 1892.
There is a very interesting account
i'm this number of an obscure pe0
pie in among the Thlinkets in
Alaska" illustrated with some ex-
cellent engravings of these Indians
and their occupations by Francis
Lothrop. +. Bolton Jones and Frank
C.. Jones. The work of the latter,
one of the youngest of our Balti-
more artists, shows great improve
ment and promise. The revolution
which has taken place i'm our ideas
of the horse in motion, galloping,
leaping, &c, is well shown in a Sc
ries of cuts illustrating an article by
George b. Waring, Jr. There is a
full history of the American yacht,
and several mentions of Emerson,
whose face in later life, from bust
by Daniel G. French, is made the
frontispiece to this number. Part
the second of the "Bee Pastures Of
California" by the naturalist, John
Muir" with engravings by Harry
Fem and Roger Riordan, shows a
combination which could not fail to
furnish US a telling essay with pen
and pencil. There is also a very
weak tale by joaquin Miller, some
more of the scrappy "reminiscences
OF Ireland by Carlyle, and eontin-
uation of Through One Admins
tration." which moves in a circle,
and i'm this instance goes again over
familiar ground. Howell's a
Modern Instance" is also continued,
i'm which the most stirring incident
il at the hero gets drunk.

A QUEER STORY ABOUT GU


TEAU'S SPIRITUAL ADVISER
From the Boston Globe.
The Rev. w. W. Hicks, besides
being a minister of the gospel, is a
politician of the modern type. He
is devoted to the interests of the
Republican party, and has figured
extensively as worker in behalf of
that partys supremacy in the South.
A valued correspondent, who hap
pens to know him well, is authority
for the statement that a few years
ago-in the campaign of 1976-he
went through the State of Maine
and made several speeches. He was
at that time a resident of Florida,
and when the pinch came, and the
present accomplished Secretary of
the Navy went down to steal the
vote of that Commonwealth for
Hayes, DIR. Hicks was on hand to
do his share of the work. While in
Maine he told some thrilling stories
about the wholesale slaughter of in
offensive colored men who wished
to vote the Republican ticket. In
one county, so he told his Maine
auditors, ], 500 men were slain be-
cause they dared to deposit their
ballots for the cause of the Union
and good government, as repre-
sented by the Republican party.
Two years ago our correspondent,
who heard his speech in Maine, met
DR.. Hicks in Jacksonville and asked
him where the slaughtered darkeis
whose fate he SO graphically de-
scribed, were buried, but he declined
to furnish the information, and re-
fused to 90 into the discussion, Civ
ing as an excuse that his life woulC
be taken if he divulgcd the terrible
secret. 1t is needless to say thai
the story was pure fabrication, in
vented solely for effect in the North
and told with all the rccklessnes
which characterized the campaign
lies of that exciting period.
DIR. Hicks had a small church il
Florida, attended chiefly by coloreC
people, whose fancies he excited by
horrible tales of intimidation and 0
prospective slavery in case they die
not vote the Republican ticket. w
had lost sight of him, and if hi
name had not come up in cOnnec
ton with the Guiteau case we woulC
be liable to have forgotten him al
together.

DEMOCRACY.
Meeting of the State Executive
Committee Yesterday.

Nashville World, July G.
The State Democratic Executive
Committee held their first meeting
at room No. 20 of the Maxwell
House at 2 o'clock yesterday after
noon. There were present the fol
lowing members of the Committee,
to-wit: John Allison, Jr., OF the
First district; Jas. NJ. Head, OF the
Fourth district; ]. l.. Pearcy, of the
Seventh district S. A. Champion,
of the eighth district; Albert L. Nc
Neal. of the Tenth district, and ID.
ID. Anderson, J. j. Vertress and
John II. Hillsman, from the State
at large. There were also present
Mr.. Wallace, of the Knoxville
Tribune, representing John Nc
Grath. of the Second district, and
Judge C. W. Tyler, representing
Gen. w. A. Quarles, of the Sixth
district.
Upon motion J. J. Nertrees, OF
Davidson. was unanimously elected
Chairman of the Committee, anC
John T. Hillsman, of Shelby, was
elected Secretary.
In view of the recent apportion
ment of the State and the reunion
of the Democratic party it appeared
that in many localities more com
plete organization is required.
To provide for which the follow
ing resolution was adopted:
| Resolved, That in Congressional
Senatorial and Floaterial districts o
counties where there is no commit
tee. the member of the Central com
mittee from said district shall pro
ceed to take such action rs will sc
cure the organization of such dis
trIcts, or counties, within the limit
of his Congressional district.
Several other resolutions, /
reference to the conduct of the cam
: paign, were adopted but they wer
of no interest to the public.
The members of the cOmmitte
D were full Of hope and enthusiast
and report cheering indications troI
all parts of the State.
The officers selected give assul
ance that the best will be done IL
the interests of the party.
The committee having finished a
business before it adjourned, sui
ject to the call of the chairman.

Peter Helm was menaced by a
mob near Fort Wayne, Ind, twenty
years ago. He had killed a popu-
lar man in drunken wrangle, and
was in imminent danger of being
lynched. He had summoned John
l.. Fa rar, a lawyer, but the crowd
was inclined to hang the prisoner
without listening to his counsel. In
this emergency Farrar drew his
client aside as if for consultation,
and then advised him to run for the
woods, which were close by. Helm
did so, and was not caught. The
lawyer got no fee, and narrowly
escaped vicarious lynching. He
never heard of Helm again until
recently, when he received letter
from Mexico containing draft fol-
$500, with the information that the
fugitive had become a successful
coffee planter.

SkObeleff's Death.

LoNroN, July s.-A dispatch to
the Times from Paris says the for
NAL invitation of the Powers to the
Porte asking it to intervene in
Egypt will be delivered Monday.
A reply is osked for by Wednesday.
If the Porte refuses, or seems afraid
to accept, $4,000 men, with $4,000
in reserve, will be concentrated by
the intervening Powers. The army
will land at Aboukir, and will be di-
vided into two parts. One will
march on Alexandria, and be sup
ported by feet, which will open
fire as soon as the army is landed.
The other portion will cross the dry
lake of Aboukir to Kafrdevar, and
seize the railway at Damanhour,
Arab Pascha's only means of re-
treat, and will thus force him to
either fight or yield.

The Republicans of the Second
Congressional district are not get
ting along tremendously. At the
LOudon county convention, the Rule
and HOuk men had a regular par
rot and monkey time. Both tried
to control the convention and split
ard two sets of delegates was the
result. In Campbell county there
was also split and double set of
delegates, There's fun ahead for
the Democrats in the Second district
as well as the First.
