UNITED DEMOCRACY.
What the State Press Says About the
Harmony Movement.

Our waichword-Harmony and victory
Brownsville Democrat
The notes of the harmonicon are growing
sweeter, and every day new converts are
dancing TO its Dyers6urg Clipper.
The an.i-hsrmony boys are becoming more
flexible, and We hope TO see them join the
"rally-round-the-6ag boys" for decisive
victory in November.-Dsersburg Clipper.
Child-What does ID. F. stand for in Mr..
Wallace's name, pa? Pa-Why, my child,
d. +. stands f0r-hand me that paper-here
it is-oh, yes-for David F., my child.
David Franklin, suppose.-NashUiLe Banner.
Somehow up this writing there seems TO
be dead fly in the ointment of harmony.
Alas, and alas, many lasses, meIasses, mo-
lasses and musb, poultices, glue, sugar TO
catch 'em, cement 10 stick 'em. Let MS have
peace.-Nashr;tie Banner.
The gentlemen who talk so much about
the Harmony at any price" idea, are the
same men who say to the creditor of the
State, ave will settle upon your own terms"
kHowiDg that it is out of their power to make
such settlement.-NdshviIe World.
For an Independent paper which took
leave OF the Democratic party few months
ago, the Nashville Bonner seems to be terri
bly, interested in the principles upon which
the party proposes ID harmonize- What has
the Banner and Lebanon Herald got TO with
the matter, nyway?-ProTnsr1i Democrat.
Some OF our contemporaries are fond of
speaking of all who do not how down and
worship harmony, as if singing hosaHnas
were the only thing TO be done, as soreheads
and GROWERS. 1t makes some people very
uncomfortable to be reminded that there are
duties, that there are essn initial principle.
-N0shr He Banner.
The Banner says that the entry of the low
tax committee for the harm ony cup is not q
lawful one. That it is Stump called dog"
and cannot be allowed TO run in the race.
Now don't get your "back mp" because you
didn't trot your "bull terrier" cut in time
You may have chance yet on the home
stretch.--Frankiin Progress.
Every day the signs for united Democ-
racy are growing brighter and brighter All
over the State in every Democratic camp the
cry is, let US harmonize. This is not so
much the effect of leading political men and
newspapers as it is the free and involuntary
outbursting OF patriotic sentiments from the
bosoms OF people united in purpose.-Dy-
ersbtrg Clipper.
We are playing on the harmonicon. 1t is
a sweet instrument, and its notes may be full
of Joy to the Democracy. At all events let
the music Of the harmonicon have full
sweep, and let all Democrats be brothers if
they can. In all truth, Democratic harmony
is not only desirable, but it is sufficiently
probable 10 justify reasonable efforts every
where.-Jdcksoa Tribune and Sun.
The Nashville Banner gets of some spicy
personals on the leaders in the harmony
movement The Bqnaer is disconnected at
the turn State politics has taken, and has
this way OF venting its spleen. The point
about these personal remarks is that they
are in the m ain true, and are therefore more
netting than they would be otherwise. But
IA of ha har
sured, all Of the Bannef's wit and sarcasm to
the contrary standiug.-SomerriDe
Fdlc5n.
Ii the movement in the direction of har-
moDy means anything il is that the two con-
tending parties yield each to the other
little OF something in the way of honest
opinion. The low tax party have opinions in
regard to the State debt. The high tax
party likewise have opinions. The low-tax
men have acknowledged a willingness to
yield something of opinion il the opposite
party will likewise yield something of their
opinion and meet them on middle grounds
with candidate who has never held extreme
views on the question at issue. This is fair
and just to both sides.-Ifpton Cal.
Mr.. Savage is in town, looking after Dave
Wallace and Dave Wallace is looking after
harmony, and lone of our stockholders" is
looking after Dave Wallace and harmony.
his mind TO do. There are two leeks to be
eaten or we cannot have harmony. Mr..
Savage must be sacrificed on the altar of his
country and submission must be abandoned.
These are reasonable concessions. We can
not all have our own way. State credit
Democrats have had to sacrifice much, and
they only ask now these two concessions.
Everybody has to eat leek now and then;
why not you, too, DAvid?-Nashuilte Bdnaer.
litical complexion show their desire for har-
moDy by ridiculiDg all men who, previous to
the sounding of the first notes on the har-
monicon, declined to look at public questions
they did. Ex-Governor Marks, Judges
Turney and Sneed, conservative men, the
latchet of whose intellectual shoes even
these men are unworthy to stoop down and
nnlOosen, each comes In for share of their
ridicule. But let the name of one Who has
taken position with them on the "higher
plane" be mentioned, and Immediately it
acts like dose of soothing syrup to a col
icky baby, or catnip 10 sick kitten.-1ipton
Call
The work of harmony which has been
commenced is very gratifying and we'll
enough as tar as il goes, but the tug of war
has not vet come We should not rest ourselves
upon our oars and trust to a emooth sea.
There is plenty of work yet TO be done, and
in order to accomplish the desired result,
must be done. The question OF a basis of
ssttiems Mt will present itself TO the conven-
ton, and whatever may be the basis adopted,
it will constitute a very important plank in
the platform of the party, and, We may say,
the one upon which rests either defeat or
victory. The sentiment Of the people, az re-
fiected all over the State, Is strongly in favor
of uniting upon some middle ground, and
this can be done without sacrifice Of prIuci-
pie; but in order TO do this harmony m ust pre-
vail and concessions must be made. Not all
by one side, but by both.-Frank.iR Progres q.
