MaShed!

John j. Vertrees, chairman of the
democratic executive committee, weighs
about forty tons when he goes to sill
down on Bolter. He sat upon Eb
James the other day. Eb. was the great
proxy-toter in the July synod, carry
ing the whole of East Tennessee in his
hip-pocket, and lie got himself in a
group and held a caucus of proxies and
was named chairman of the board OF
directors OF the society for the proven
zion of cruelty to Hawkins. And then
he commenced to get proud and bristle
up the back and smell around for some
thing to chaw up, and he discovered
the mild-mannered middle man of tue
masses, Hon. John j. Vertrees, and he
concluded to practice on him. He
wrote pink-scented, perfume-tinted
note inviting the Hon, John to send q
delegate around to his sample-room to
find out what the state debt proper was.
lie signed his name and then put alter

mittee." Pony Pillow was reported
dead once and when the vile SANDER
got to his ears Pony said he knew it
was dodgasted lie as soon as he heard
1t. Dir, Vertrees knew he hadn't ex-
pired as chairman, and if he had re-
signed he had forgotten to charge his
memory with any remembrance of hav-
ing reeollectcd it, and hence he knew
that Ebeneezer was "cooning the
shadow of a baseless Fabric, so to
speak, and he proceeded to raise that
Ebeneezer on the toe of his goOse-quill.
He said that he didn't know the afore-
said Mr.. James in such questionable
shape, and asked him what he was do
ing with his clothes on, and told him if
be would approach obsequiously, clothed
In his own stripes, and ask favor that
had any sense in it, and make sugges-
ton that wouldn't disgrace Iunatic, he |
would lend his ear. AS far as the state
debt was concerned, he had all the docu-
ments and evidence he desired, the peo-
pie were serene and beautiful, and the
goose decorated the top peg, and things
were sublime, and the democratic arrow
swung squarely. to the wind. Then the
great Machiavelian marauder of the
oocketful of proxies subsidized, and the
of the mighty John Jove
1ursted right in the midst of the bottles
md boilers and bummers and braggers
md Bedouins, and they are not done
coming down yet. Eb. was bluffing on
bObtail and John showed up chain

The history of the republican party
is history of crime and peculation and
oppression in which the stealing of the
presidency, gigantic star route steals,
oppressive taxation and monopoly
favoring legislation stand out as mile
stones to mark the distances along the
road to Quilted treasury. The party
in Tennessee is of the party universal
and will do to the extent of its oppor-
tunity the things that it does elsewhere.
II is not raking up dead issues to call
up these crimes, for the party that COM
mitted them is still in power and still
outfageously committing them, and
it still seeks opportunity and will not
fail to carry out its twenty years history
in repetition of the same gross misdeeds
that are part OF its creed and the
whole of its practice. They ought to
be held up for execration and their deeds
paraded in all their hideous meanness,
The Boilers are crying out against it.
The Banner would sink the sacred
memories OF the past and bury the deeds
Of our heroes, if by this means and by
its cringing subserViency it might break
up the democratic party and give re-
publicans fresh grasp upon the throat
OF Tennessee. We know what repub-
licsns have done in the past and we
know they are the same men with the
same opportunities. By the memory of
these misdeeds we adjure democrats to
avoid boiling as they would a
serpent, for we can never kill the re-
publican reptile and loose its coils about
the treasury and our liberties unless we
come to the task undivided and with
one purpose, and to accomplish this is
Of vastly more importance than what
we shall do with our bonds and coupons
md debts. Let's run out the common
enemy first and then straighten our
household affairs.

Must we EOrPRt2

The Banner condemns aud bitterly
denounces any idea that can trace its
lineage back to the war. 1t says that
war issues are dead issues, and war
memories Improbable and obsolete and
fOssilated and moss-backed; that the
people must not remember battle-scar ed
heroes, and the reign of the one-armed
and one-legged soldier is at an end ;
that we are progressive and must not
look back upon scenes that engendered
bitterness and awakens reproaches and
ordinations. How beautiful and tender
and blushing this looks on paper
What sublime progress that is. Forget
the tens of thousands of men who fell in
their own blood2 Forget the other
tens of thousands who are lame and halt
and blind and suffering? Forget the
scenes that were painted upon the
memory with the life-blood of
brother? Forget the events that cost
thousands OF lives to enact? And all
these thousands and thousands of dead
men and manned men and blind men
and helpless, suffering men were our
brothers and friends, and their cause
was our cause, and their death saved US
our lives. Why forget them? Why
bury these memories? The Banner
wants to do it at this particular time
because Gen. Bate happens to be one of
the battle-scarred, and it would foist a
republican upon Tennessee at the ex-
posture of these sacred memories. The
north cares for her MANNED heroes, and
we are glad she does, and the south
helps to pay the taxes that supports
these pensioners, while our own poor,
soldiers must not even be pitied
and must be kicked rather than kept.
We can never pension these brave
fellows and they must toll and labor on
without public aid, but in the name of
heaven don't blot out the memory of
their deeds, and grant them the poor
pittance of tear where more substan- |
tial comfort is denied them. We are
at the Banner. We do not |
care to criticize it, but to enter only a |
solemn protest. The north would de- |
spise us il we should forget our dead.

It is sorrowful spectacle 20 witness
the self-destruction of the once proud
American. 1t stood at the head of pro-
gressive journalism in this section and
was able and unflinching and progress
sive. Now it sells principles for money,
and dawdles and lodges, afraid to speak
out, its proud name gone and its excel
lence departed. Its New York owners
may not make any money out of their
stock, but they hope to make it up on
specializing in the debt which their or
gan is commissioned to keep open and
bleeding.

Why don't they bring out Capt. Fus-
sell at some Of their rallies? Perhaps
they have found out that he cannot
stand the racket. Capt. Russell is a
nice christian gentleman and prosecutes
with great vim, but he wasn't cut out
for the stump and when they trot him
out he'll make a let, This effort to
avoid Bate comes from fear and knowl-
edge that Capt. RUSSELL cannot begin to
cope with him. They know that
Hawkins will not skin their man, for he
wants him to get as many votes as
possible.

The rose-colored reports of the Clarks-
vile "rousement" last Saturday has
turned out to be ridiculously untrue.
Cooper, Bailey, Jackson and James, the
beautiful cOterie of Boilers, were the
rousers, ana it is said the immense
throng yelled only when Bate or House
were mentioned. This contra-state-
ment would be a mere opinion and hard
to believe, seeing that GAINESVILLE is the
Boilers hotbed, If the meeting had not
been Immediately followed Monday by
one of the largest and most rousement-
ing conventions that GAINESVILLE ever
witnessed. In the Boilers powwow it
was the dethroned bosses who were
speaking. In the convention the peo-
pie from all over the country spoke and
they nominated straight Bate men on -
red-hot string OF terrible Bate resolu-
tons. 1t was roaring rebuke to the
Belters-to have the people of their
banner county meet right after their
hoo-doo rally and prove that it is only
she leaders who are Boilers.

soldier in France. The big men
were all killed of in the wars of the
great Napoleon, and their grand
sons are not very robust looking
creatures. They are why, enduring

big and splendid as the German

The ,COngressi0naI Race.

The Columbia correspondent of
the American said Sunday: The
congressional race bids fair to be
an exciting one in the selection of
delegates to the convention to be
held in this place on the goth inst,
the committee selected by the CON
vention of June 90 have called their
convention for that date The 1Ith
of July committee did not take part
in the call, and it is q matter of
some interest to know what action
will be taken by them in the prem
Uses. There is a lively field of as
piring gentlemen in sight, Whit
thorne, Cox, Bib, Taliaferro and
McCord. Col. n. n. Cox has alone
publicly announced himself a can
didate, but it Is an open secret, l
believe, that the other gentlemen
are to contest his right to the nom
nation. Lively times may be ex-
pected Whitthorne has proven
himself -four miller" and having
the prestige Of repeated victories,
will have a positive and compact
following. Cox has developed the
fact that he is "stayer," and one
never knows how to place an old
horse of this character. Victory
will when one least expects it
perch upon his colors. Then we
next have Taliaferro and Bibb, who
have given evidences of some speed
and with good training and groom
ing might become dangerous. Next
comes McCord, "a three-year-old,''
whose shape marks him of great
possibilities" for he is yet lin the
political field, untried. The i'm
mediate "backers'' will become
thoroughly enthused, the great pub |
ic will quietly look on and at the
ballot box in November say wheth-
II they ratify the judgment of the
men who act on the 29th inst. We |
will then see what we will see.
