Our cheStHutS.

4 kettle-bellied Squire in Will
hanson county, who happens TO
know Mr.. Fussell, tells him good
bye in an open letter in the Review
and Journal. Sad! The Squire is
a powerful Good Templar, and he
claims to have been taken out of
the ditch by that order, but he is a
pO,Cer-ttdler Low TaXer. Day i'll
and day out his unwearied tongue
is trying to make people believe
that the State Credit Convention
tackled on the four-mile plank as
mere vote-catcher, and that the pur-
pose of the ring-masters is to use
temperance men like the monkey
used the cats paw when roasting
chestnuts. So be it, but who gets
the chestnuts? An openly avOwed
prohibitiOnist, who has been wag-
ing war against whisky for years,
is made the standard bearer, and
whether we be eats paws or not,
if we can elect Fussell, we have a
determined foe of the whisky ring
at the head of our State govern
ment, and so the chestnuts are ours.
That's how l see it as the light now
shines upon the situation, and give
my hurrah for RUSSELL and prOhi-
bition. Whoever is against whisky
let him now show his hand.
PROHIBITIONIST.

The True Democracy
Nashville American.

The true Democracy opened the
campaign at Clarksville last Satur-
day, and the effect will be felt from
one end of the State to the other.
The people will know that Democ-
racy is in earnest and that it has
started out to win. There is no
wavering or faint-heartedness in the
cause. 1t stands on a platform of
which it is proud, and it has no
apology to make, no favors to ask
of its enemies. It's cause is just and
will be presented to the people
calmly, earnestly and hopefully.
1t will not deal in equivocation,
but plant itself squarely on princi-
pies that can be clearly understood,
and which will appeal to the good
judgment, the patriotism and hon.
esty of the citizen. 1t is fearless in
the cause of truth and right, and is
open and frank in its professions.
1t will grow in strength from day
to day, and put to shame the policy
which seeks to rob the party of its
good name.
1t has candidate whom any man
may honor with his confidence and
support; candidate whose unim-
peachable character and consistent
and irreproachable life commend
him to his State and his party, a
candidate who heartily accepts and
endorses the platform of the party
and identifies himself with it.
When you vote for RUSSELL you will
not have to scratch the platform.
He goes before the people not ask
ing their suffrages for his own sake.
but for the sake of the principles
which he uphOlds, and the people
will hear him and respect, and vote
for him despite the hue and cry
that will be raised against him and
his party. Conscious of the justice
of his cause, he will address the
minds of men and not their pas
sions. He will call upon Democra-
cy TO be true to itself and courageous
in the right, and Democracy will
respond to the call and rise to his
support.
There is no vain boasting in this.
The prediction is based upon the
consciousness which is in the heart
of every true Democrat that Fussell
is on the right side, that the plat
form to which he is pledged en-
bodies right principles. Already
men who have hitherto been silent
are coming out for true DemOcaey.
Already men who had first listened
to specious arguments and placed
themselves on the Bate side are
coming over to the side which re-
quires of them no weak and silly
devices to reconcile conscience with
conduct. Many thousands through
out the State will come to the help
of the true Democracy, which is
not ashamed of its principles. Men
who have been deluding themselves
with the fancy that the State Credit
Democracy will have but a small
following, will learn that they have
made a grievous mistake. They
will find before this canvass is half
over that State Credit Democracy
is not only strong in principle, but
strong in numbers, and that upon
its success depends the re-establish-
ment of Democracy in power in
Tennessee.

Indebtedness OF Tennessee amount
ed to 3,S44 ,606.66. 1t is conceded
by all sides that the Agricultural
Bureau bonds amounting to $50, 900
and the 6 per cent. Turnpike Loan
bonds amounting to $57 200 are n
part of the State debt proper, which
when these items are added make
So 1891 ,606.66 as the State debt prop
er. Not one cent of it has ever
been paid. The railways may have
bought up some of these State debt
proper bonds and paid them in but
unless the State is going to keep
the contract with the railways by
which 1t agreed to receive them in
discharge of the railway debt they
will be included in any settlement
that is made on the Egyptian plat
form. Two years interest have
been paid since January 1861 and
to january, 1888, twenty years of
interest will have accumulated
which at 6 per cent. would make

SPEAKING AT PARIS.

We clip the following from the
Nashville Banners account Of the
speaking at Paris, on last Saturday.
This is only synopsis OF a portion
Of Mr.. Fussell's speech, and, as
matter of course, fails to do II JUS
tice; our standard-bearer opens the
fight CALAMITY and the opposition
may well fear to meet him; his
canvass through the State will be
succession of triumphs and acces-
sions to the ranks of the true De-
mocracy:
Mr.. RUSSELL was introduced by =,
j. Taylor, in g neat and compli-
mentary speech. The candidate
said it was his first political speech,
and, recognizing the responsibility
Of his position, felt more excited
than when facing loaded muskets.
He spoke of marching to battle
when beardless boy upon the call
of duty and shedding blood in tho
cause of his country, but disclaimed
any right 10 support because he
risked his life for Southern homes.
1t was a duty he performed, but
these things had been buried, and
he asked nothing from the dead.
The bones OF his comrades were
sacred, and he cared not to rattle
them in the faces ofa younger gen
Grafton. He was bearing q banner
Of peace, emblazoned upon whose
folds were the principles of a true
and progressive Democracy. He
then spoke upon national issues and
dealt some telling blows upon the
party of great moral ideas and ex-
posed the corruption of its admins
tration of national affairs. lie next
Democratic party and asked who
were true Democrats. He answer
ed by pointing out the consistency
of the July platform with every
Democratic principle from Jefferson
down to the convention of 1880.
He took up the Bate platform and
riddled it, showing wherein it was
not only undemocratic but actually
dishonest. He did not charge dis
honesty upon its trainers, because
they were honest and honorable
gentlemen and would spurn dishon-
esty IN individual transactions, but
they failed TO consider the obliga-
tions OF communities and States in
the light of individual contracts,
though in fact and morals they
were equally as binding. The
Bate platform was impracticable as
"A will-o'- -the-wisp, leading men to
reputation. He had looked 70
Harris as a leader, but when he
said the night before the conven-
tion, that there was no difference
in the character of the bonds, and
the day after that there was diff
ference such as justified the pay
ment of part in full and the repu-
diation Of half of the balance, he
could no longer consider him as
guide. He said the Bate platform
as constructed by one Of its trainers
would repudiate the other half, un-
less the tender was accepted by the
creditors. By figures. the most ex-
haustive, he showed the State debt
proper to be not. possibly less than
six and half millions of dollars,
pointing out beyond dispute the
inaccuracies of Gen. Bates figures.
He said the Legislatures had per-
formed duty in encouraging inter
nal improvements. BY quoting
the Constitution of 1884 they coplq
have aided only by the issuapce "
bonds.

WE had hoped that i'm the inter
i'm, in the spare hours in the course
Of the canvass, Gen. Bate would
consent to meet Mr.. Fussell. IL ~
Of some interest to the people to
determine which advocates the
wiger policy. Gen. Bate claims 10
be the only Democrat; Il is of some
interest to Democrats TO determine
as to this since Mr.. RUSSELL makes
precisely the same claim and we
think with far the better reason,
Gen. Bate declines to meet ali thp
candidates that all tho policies adj
vOcated may have "a fair airing and
comparison one with another. LR
declines to allow that the people
may deteTmine which party or fac
tion Is the better entitled 10 be cali

people to judge betweeD his policy
and that of the Democracy.
While we oppose all diplomacy,
this clear result appears from all
this letter-writing. Obscured be-
Meath a mass OF words, wrapped up,
but pot concealed, in one patent
fact. The party which boasts
itself the rightfIl guardian Of Ten
nessee honor and interest, and true
Democracy and champion Of De-
mocracy and holder of the policy,
declines to subject its claims TO that
test of popular discussion which
was never evaded in Tepnesseg
before. If Tennessegls sBrpass
some others in independence and
in thinking for themselves, II Is be-
cause they have always required
the frankest discussion and the
submission of every policy and
opinion. aud the claims of every
party to the test of popular discus
sion. Democracy will now meet
Alvin Hawkins and Democrats
need have no fear as to the result.
In Mr.. Fussell they have cham

aud who will not fail to bring every
living issue to the test of free and
full discussion. = NuShUiLte Banner.

Arab Bey.
Pulaski Citizen.


Editor Citizen.-Please state who
Arabi Bey is and what he wants.
ARAB.
Arabi Bey is thought by experts
to be a man. His mother was u
pronounced female woman and his
father Il male. In Arabi's early
youth he was boy and his father
was often heard to say he was also
male infant. He soon imbibed
All inclination to tie eats together
by the tail and insert pins vertical
ly in chairs, and this idiosyncracy
dispelled all doubt of his gender.
He had a mother; we came near
neglecting to state that, although
we observed that she was woman,
and we see no reason why we
should take it back. If his father
was ever married to her, history
makes no mention of il, though we
suppose he was, as men do not in
termarry over there unless one OF
them is a woman. She was also
probably married to him partly.
Men over there sometimes spread
out their marrying propensities
very numerously. Arabi then must
in the very nature of the case be
his fathers son, unless his parents
were unmarried, and then he possi-
bly, would be the son of his mother
by-by-well, by-thunder. Arabi
wants to- hurt somebody, evidently.
We hardly think he got all those
looters together to go fishing. IL he
was shooting at the fourth OF July
he missed it five days, but some
stray balls glanced through Is inch
es of steel-plated gondolas. He
wants also probably to have his
breeches patched after he is kicked
over the ragged edge of the Egyp-
tian border.
