Savage ard Harris.

McMinnville New Era.
We are informed that Senator Har.
ris interviewed Colonel Savage while
at Nashville, asking the direct cues
tion whether or not Mr.. Savage was a
candidate for United States Senator,
and was answered by Colonel Savage
that he was, for many reasons; and
among others
That he thought if Governor Harris
would consider the matter from dis
interested standpoint he would know
that his own happiness, and the great
interest Of the public would be best
promoted by bis exclusive attention To
his rancho in New Mexico. That he
did net consider that Governor Harris
had well represented the people or the
policy best for the interest and honor
of Tennessee, nor would his record be
found in harmony with the true prin.
ciples of Democracy-that this record
deserved to be examined; that he pro-
posed to make square issue, and
meet the Governor upon such terms
as might suit him best. That he
hoped Governor Harris would forgive
him for what might appear a little
egotistic, for he assumed that policy
would be proclaimed more TO the in.
terests Of the people with Savage in
the Senate, than has resulted from
Harris six years service. That while
he should contest the prOpriety Of
continuing Governor Harris 10 the
Senate, be hoped whether the battle be
won or lost. TO have neither said nor
done anything that he should regret OF
be ashamed OF after 1t was over.
Harris has always cared well for
Harris. His past history manifests an
inclination to corporations and class
legislation. lie leans to monopoly
and money and is a most skillful man
ager OF patronage, Office seekers and
the party machinery.
Savage is powerIess with these i'm
portant elements Of success in con-
test for the Senate, but he is strong
with the masses, has more friends
among the people OF the middle and
poorer classes than any man in the
State. His valuable and disinterested
services for the last few years against
funding bills and bond slavery, has
given him place in the hearts Of all
just minded taxpayers. There is a
strong impression on the popular mind
that justice demands that his services
be recognized; and that If placed in
the Senate he would inaugurate poll
cies that would command the atten.
ton Of the nation and result in the
speedy payment Of the national debt, a
reduction Of taxes, and econmy and
purity in the administration Of public
affairs at Washington.
Harris and Savage are both called
Democrats, but there is wide differ

aHes 10 their SplBIehs and practices,
and a TO what Is true Democracy,
Savsge's Democraes looks to the pro-
gress, happiness and welfare of the
whole PEOPLE. Harris whole soul aud
brain is devoted to the management
and success Of the party machine.
AS these two gentlemen are now
prominently before the people for
Senatorial honors, We will in our next
point out some of the salient points
in the history and character Of each of
these gentlemen for the consideration
of the people. A contest between
them may do much to present in the
living light Of truth the better and
elemental principles of true Democ.
racyin contradiction to the corruption
and practices OF the party machine.
There is popular necessity that true
Democracy should arise from its
burial place-should separate itself as
far as the East is from the West from
Republicanism. We could name men
in high places calling themselves
Democrats, whose practices and opin-
ions are so near to Republicanism that
it would require microscope to dis
cover the difference between them.

The Condition of Trade.
Springfield Republican.

The resultant of all the influences
affecting trade in the past few weeks
is a quiet BETTING the midsummer
month, with a freedom on the part Of
business men from the anxiety that
prevailed during the spring. There is
no adverse influence that has not run
its course or shrunken to small pro.
portions. Even the over sensitive
banking interest of the metropolis is
treasured by the favorable crop re-
ports, the apparent disposition of Con-
gress to put through the bank charter
bill and the evidence that the export
of specie is about over There was a
shipment of 81 100000 last week for
resumption purposes in Italy, and it
is thought that $500, 600 more will be
taken from this country for the same
purpose, but the transaction involves
loss at the current rate of exchange,
and has no significance as showing the
condition of international trade.
There is still, no doubt, a considerable
balance against US, but the dealings of
the next six months are counted upon
to more than cancel it. Already the
imports of merchandise are decreas
ing, and the exports will show a
material increase. In the New York
money market the boys have cele-
brated the signing Of the bill remov-
ing restrictions on the rate for call
loans by running the quotation up to
10 per cent once the past week, and
the surplus reserve Of the banks has
fallen So, $50, 225 to s. ,43l ,025, but the
government has begun the disburse-
ment OF over $23,50O,0O0 for interest
and in the payment of bonds, and the
loan market cannot but be easy I'M
less there is trouble abroad. Certain
fnanciers are looking toward Egypt
with apprehension, but whatever dis
turbance comes from that quarter will
chiefly affect English and French
spectators. The English and cont
mental banks are too strongly fortified
with reserves to seriously feel the
shock. There is no important change
in the stock market. The favorable
crop reports are Offset by the returns
of railroad traffic for June, which
show a considerable falling off from
the totals of the corresponding period
Of last year.

a New Game of Match for

Lawrence Barrett has created a deal
of genuine surprise by really playing
joke upon John T. Fresh Raymond

passion for matching pennies. Those

aware ef the fact. So have some Of

TIE Nashville World takes the de-.
feat of the Porters and the success OF
the Chicks very philOsOphically. 1t
says: I'VE have lost the honors, but
tits still a comfort to know that Mem
phis and New Orleans divided the
glory. The Memphis boys are our
brothers, and New Orleans is insepa-
rably connected with the name Of
Jackson and the glory Of Tennessee
We congratulate our successful rivals
on their triumph. And those who
have known what it is to fly before a
victorious army and leave dying com
rades behind, will rejoice that our
disaster is no worse, and pray that we
may never taste genuine war in our
day. Let us havepeace." Now, there
is some sense and good temper in that,
which is in most striking con-
trast with the ridiculous talk
INDUCED in at Nashville, and
through some of the papers.
The Chicks did not drill as we'll at
Louisville or Indianapolis as we ex-
pected, yet they sustained their repu
tation as the best drilled company Of
civilians in the United States. Their
victories have not been gained by bet
ting or Dragging, or carrying along a
noisy crowd, but the hardest kind
of work and that peculiar kind
Of dash and pluck which
distinguishes Memphis people when
they undertake anything in earnest.
The Chicks can rest upon their laurels
and let the other companies drill tout.
There is good material in all Of them
and none Of them should be ashamed
Of their record. Memphis is proud of
all her volunteer companies, but ha
no disposition to underrate or
run down those Of other cities. 1t was
simply test of endurance, discipline
and intelligent, well directed ambi-
ton. Memphis won, but can stand a
little success and prosperity without
any unseemly exultation or breach
Of good manners. We rather sympa.
thize with the Porter Rifles, though
they may not appreciate it just now
Their friends had overrated them and
made them think they we're invincible
Their hackers we're noisy aud arrogant
The boys were not 80 much to blame
as some Of their friends. The com.
pany is really a good one and credit
to Nashville and to the State.

THE Brownsville States and Bee, a
stanch State credit paper that sup
ported John V. Wright, comes out
vigorously for Bate. The following
extract from this weeks issue has the
ring of pure metal:
The real issue between Democrats
in Tennessee is clear to every candid
and honest voter. Shall they support
Bate, the regular noc.inee, who iavors
just settlement of the State debt and
restore the party to power in the State,
or support the boilers who wish to
destroy the vitality aud usefulness OF
the party, and continue Republican
rule in TENNESSEE 1t strikes US that
no honest Democrat can fail to see
his duty as between these two prop
ositions. Failure to see his duty
must either grow out of ignorance
of his duty or a willful desire to
rule or ruin. Mr.. Bailey and his fol
lowers, when they went to Nashville,
did not intend or desire to harmonic
unless upon their own peculiar plat
form, while the great rank and file of
the party went there determined to
harmonic even at the sacrifice or
surrender of many of their pet views:
Savage and Wilson went from 1873 to
5O-3, then why can't Mr.. Bailey come
from 60-6 to 50-3 in order to preserve
and save the partyP We cannot con
ceiVe OF any cause other than that of a
hope for personal aggrandisement that
can be at the bottom of Mr.. Bailey S
course. His Democracy, and that OF
the meH who follow him must be OF a
very doubtful sort if they cannot
make the little sacrifice Of coming
down to the SOB for the life of the
Democratic party.

Rock. The company has been drilling
for months for almost the sole purpose
of defeating the Chicks. The mem
bers were in camp, and their wages
were paid by employers the same as if
they were at home. There were five
thousand citizens Of Nashville with
them at Louisville, and several
hundred honorary members in uni

the Chicks in the pools. Hundreds Of
their friends accompanied them to
Indianapolis, and bet on them to the

nobly. Nashville deserves sympathy.
The Quapaws deserve credit.
