rHETENNEssEE ELECTIONS.

In this State the November elections will
attract more than ordinary interest. There
are four candidates for governor in the
several thousand more votes cast thsh has
ever been polled in any former election.
Candidates 10 represent Shelby county in the
State Legislature will be nominated early 10
October, and as there will be half dozen
different tickets in the field, representing as
many fsciions, it is safe to say that there
will be a full vote and much interest mani
tested in the result. The true and reliable
Democrats are determined 10 do their duty,
because they have every incentive 10 action.
Thus far the candidates presented for their
SURFACES are such as ought to inspire a cor
dial and enthusiastic support. Gen. w. Il.
Bate, the Democratic candidate for gov
ernor, was nominated by thoroughly repre-
3 sentative convention of delegates elected
by the people. He is the nomi-
nee of the party, honestly and resu-
larly chosen by party usages and party law.
There can be no apprehension as to the result,
for Gen. Bates election is assured by heavy
Hawkins, and who can doubt the result
when the Democratic majority in the State
is 10000. 1t is now demonstrated beyond
the possibility Of doubt that the boilers
are the friend and ally of the Republican
candidate. The Democrats of the Tenth
Congressional District cannot oVer-estimate
the Importance of elecling Casey Young
TO Congress. The Republicans expect 10
lose several members of Congress in Ohio
and other Northern States, and as
consequence they will make desperate
effort 10 carry the doubtful Southern districts
as the only hope for retaining their majority
in Congress. With this forlorn hope Mr..
Tom Young, OF Ohio, appeals to the people
OF his district, and the Southern people
SHOULD profit by his utterances. He says;

aside all personal considerations to avert such
result.
The same HOPES and fears which incite Il e
Republicans 10 action should influence tie
Democrats and inspire them with deter
minatiou to do what they have heretofore
done-elect Casey Young TO Congress. Even
the Republicans admit that the Democrats
are about to ascend TO power not only in
the Congress of the United States, but in
the next presidential election. With such
prospect before them, the Democrats every
where should unite for the victory which MIR.
Young, of Ohio, shows in the above extract is
attainable. If the Democrats of the South
stand firm we will have majority in the
House, which will secure the election Of
Democratic president in 1884. In
view OF these facts Southern Den o.
Gratis should unite with the determination oil
carving all the doubtful districts. This
can only be done by organization and work.

So far as the people are concerned-the hon
est Democratic voters, who have no axes 10
grind, and who are anxious TO perpetuaie
he peace, the prosperity and the material
progress of the South, which have hes n
brought about under Democratic auspices
will stand by such men as Bate and easy
Young. 1t is only those who wish 10 restore
the corrupt rule of Radicalism that desert
