AN L TRICK.
LET REPUBLICAN, VOTERS LOCK OUT
FOR 1T.

In past campaigns for years the
Democrats have put out tickets,
sometimes headed REPUBLICAN
TICKET, and the names of one or
more Republican candidates left out
and the names of one or more Demo
cratic candidates inserted.
Those not familiar with their party
ticket when it is a long one, as this
year, will never detect the difference,
and even those who could not be so
deceived, unless they examine the
ticket with an eye to the detection
of such frauds may not see the trick.
Let it be impressed upon every
voter that it is best to get his ticket
only from sound and loyal places or
persons.
Especially would we warn those
not familiar with all the ticket, to
examine closely before voting. and If
in doubt to submit the ticket to some
reliable Republicans scrutiny.
Let every voter be on the lookout,
both for his own ticket and those
being circulated about the polls.

pEspAIRIhG DEMOCRACY TRYING
AN OLD TRICK.

The great statesmen who run the
Democratic party in this part OF tue
moral vineyard have, we learn, con-
ceived a grand masterstroke by which
thew expect to demoiish Pettibone
and the Republican party and at the
same return Bob to the fond bosom
of the B~rigadiers in Congress.
This magical and miraculous con-
ception is a circular to be sown broad
cast on the morning of the election,
informing the people that Pettibone
committed the awful sin from a
Democratic standpoint, the colored
party being of the masculine persua-
sion) of sleeping and eating with a
negro, the alleged place being john
son City.
We bid tie statesmen aforesaid to
proceed in this line, seuandering their
iueans in trying to smuggle a Demo-
craf into Congress. 1t won't pan out
worth a cent, for the people know
of their guile and will give no heed
to their vain tricks. t sat

That the Democratic rebellion

That the Republican PARTY de
vised the internal revenue system

the rebel war created;
That it taxed whisky and tobac-

That Bob Taylor is for repeating
the system and offers no other in
its stead;
That the Government has to have
money. and
That If the internal revenue sys>
TEN is repealed we shall again be
required to pay direct taxes;
That the Republican party has
brains enough to devise another
system when practicable. and
That the patriotism o fthe Repub-
iican party can be depended on to
relieve the people as soon as possible;
That the Republican party has
already repealed over $500. 000,0OG

right Just as fast as the needs of the

Frank Leslie's Illustrated News
paper Democratic) for this week
contains an article which may well
startle our people.
1t says the Mormon Conference
has assessed every Mormon family
to provide a fund to help beat
those members of Congress who vO-
ted to unseat Delegate Cannon in
the present Congress.
Our Congressman, Maj. P%ettibone,
not only voted against Cannon but
as a member of the Committee on
Elections urged his expulsion, and
to that end submitted one of the
strongest briefs presented in the
case. --lItt f7-f -
Hence we may suppose that the
Mormon authorities will take es :
pecial pains 20 contribute to Pet
tibone's defeat. ans ..,t .st
1t is amystery to everybody as TO
where Bob Taylor procures the large
sums of money which are being used
by the Democracy in this campaign.
He may get something from the
Liquor Dealers Association at
Nashville, and a small contribution
from the National Democratic Com
mittee but both sums would not
simply his needs IN this particular.
Isl it possible that the Mormon
Bari has been opened in this Dis
trict, and that a compact has been
made with the vile polygamous
wretches Of Utah7

TREASON !
AcoEeREssMkN WHO LOOKS AFTER

. r OFFICES.
MANY OBTAINED AND MANY MORE 10
BE SECURED.

Mai. Petitioners influence with
the Administration and the Heads
of Departments is in no way better
Illustrated than the appointments
he has secured and the pensions he
has obtained.
When he went to Washington
after his election in 1880, he found
only about a halfdozen men in
office from this District, if that
number. II was an imposition on
the District and he Immediately be-
gan to remedy the wrong.
As a new member, almost I'M
known, he might have been eX-
cused if he had only added another
halfsdOzen to the list. But brains do
not have to be bored for to be dis
covered. ard PettibOne secured al
most immediate recognition as one
who was capable of doing something
more than merely to draw his pay.
Up to this time, with a session
still remaining of his first term, he
has secured positions for over fifty
citizens of this district, thus con-
tributing to it's wealth in the salar-
les of his appointees at least
100000 annually.
One of his appointees holds a po-
sition which would have been
gwen to the South had not our
Congressman been the peer in abii-
ity and influence of any man on the
floor of the House.
And yet the Democrats have the
assurance to oppose Pettibone with
n man who never secured a pension
and who got only one little Sl,2OO
position for the district in two long
wears service in the House!
Before the end of Pettibone'S
first term we guarantee that this
District will not only have every
appointment to which it is entitled,
but as many as any other District
represented in the American Con-
e while his second term will so
establish his reputation that the
First District of Tennessee Will be
accorded as much influence and
favor as the Boston District Itself.

The peaceful present leads us al

joice that its passions are stllied for

precious and too priceless to perish,
and If those who cry for oblivion to

on this picture, from no less a hand
than that of William B. Carter
whom Democracy has long since
forgotten), they a realize the fact
that Republ;canism will never de-
cay in East Tennessee, though it
should disappear everywhere else
The letter was written in 1881, and
is rs follows:
sThis whole country is in q
wretched condition; q perfect deS4
potism reigns here. The Union
men of East Tennessee are longing
and praying for the hour when they
can break their letters. The 10y

That in the Spring of 1861 Ten
nessee voted, by almost 10000 MAJ
ioritv. to remain in the Union.
That a few weeks after on the 9th
of May, the Legislature, nrder the
influence of Isham G. Harris passed
another act submitting to the people
the question of secession, the vote to
be taken in Jnne following.
That on the next day, May It'll,
subject to the same evil influence,
the Legislature passed an act, ratl-
fving a league, offensive and deten-
sive. between the State of Tennessee
and the Confederate States;
That IN this way the State was by
usurpation and trickery separated
from the Union.
That before the June election came
on Harris had raised his provisional
army" armed the secessionists, and
surrendered the State to the Confed-
eracy against the expressed wishes of
a great minority of its people;
That Union men could not then
vote with safety, as the State was
out of the Union before the day of
election;
That this was the work of Isham
G. Harris, and the leaders of the Bate
movement;
That loyal East Tennesseans should
vote to a man for. the Republican
ticket and convince Harris at last
that his treason to the people of
Tennessee has made his name infa-
nous, and his doctrines of seces-
sion, free trade, opposition to the
Government and hatred of the Union
destestible to all Unionists and pro-
~gressive men.

Ills of paramount Importance to
ths-Sld soldiers, especially, to those
who have pension claims pending,
that the next Congress be Republi-
can. The penny-wise and pound
foolish policy of Democracy will, If it
should have q majority in the next
Congress, reduce the clerical force in
the Pension Office, as it did few
years ago. The consequences of such
q thing would..be ru.nous to the poor,
old, wounded, diseased and impover-
ished soldiers who are not now able
to earn a livelihood by labor. The set
Element of their claims would neces-
sarily be delayed; postponed indef-
i~nitely. 1t Is a matter of record that
Democracyis not the friend of the ex-
soldier. If the soldiers do not de-
sire the delay of their claims beyond
time allotted man to live, they should
use all their energies to secure the cleo
ton of Republicans to the next Con-
gress. The defeat of one man mi"ht
change the complexion of the neEt
House or the next Senate. The SOL
diers of the First District should be
awake to their own interests and
make a vigorous effort to make the
election Of Hon. A. II. Pettibone sure
beyond the possibility of a doubt.
Each soldier should make it a personal
matter and see that every Republican
vote is polled. They should not only
see that their candidate for Congress
is elected, but see that men are cleo
ted to the next General Assembly Of
Tennessee who will defeat the re-
election of King Harris to the Q. S.
Senate. Let every ~ex>soldier make
this a personal matter and Use his ut
most ability against Democ-acy-his
eternal enemy. Let the watchword
be, FORWARD! VoTE THE STRAIGHT RE-

defenders.
The number of pensions obtain
ed is I65. In conducting them to
a successful issue Maj. Pettibone
made over 1000 calls at the Pension
! Office, as shown by the Commls-
