s Thursdays Nashville Banner
contains the resignation and vale
dictoryi of Mr.. III. NJ. Doak. the
talented editor-in-chief of that pa
per. He sewers his connection with
the Banner TO accept the position of
| editor-in-chief of the Cincinnati
Daily News, the new daily Demo-
cratic paper soon to be started in
Cincinnati by ex-Lieut. Governor
Underwood, of Kentucky, and q
syndicate of capitalists. While we
understand this change is very
favorable TO the personal interests
of Mr.. Doak and are pleased to hear
this, we cannot but feel deep re-
greet at the thought of his retirement
from Tennessee journalism.
For thirteen years pas he has been
one of its mOst-we may with
truthfulness say the Ds0st-brilliant
and gifted members and the loss
will fall no less on the brotherhood,
than on the thousands of his read
ers and admirers throughout Ten
nessee. To us here in GAINESVILLE,
his old home, where he began his
newspaper career and from whence
he was first called to a broader and
higher field, the loss falls with par
ticular regret.
We are proud of him and wanted
him to remain with us and continue
to WELD his mastery pen among us,
in the brave effort for the establish
ment of right and justice and the
greater and more rapid advance
ment Of Tennessee's prosperity.
We particularly and in common
with thousands of his warm
friends and admirers in Tennessee
regret his departure, but can at
least find much consolation in the
knowledge that he will not be far
removed and that In his new field
he has a still wider scope and plain
for the development of his splendid
journalistic, talents and his produc-
tlons will probably reach the eye of
more numerous readers. The Gin
cinnati News will be welcomed
paper with all his old friends in
Tennessee, and we predict, and
wish, for him all possible success in
his new field of labor. -.

CoNsIDERING the tact: that the
election for Speaker of the next
House of Representatives does not
come off until December, 1888, it
does seem that all talk OF who is TO
be the lucky Individual is a little
too previous and yet in the absence
of something better to talk about,
it is perhaps just as well to specu-
late on the entries for the grand
sweepstakes. Candidates are al
ready springing up all over the
country. Mr.. Randall, of Penn
sylvania, of course wants it and is
being nicely groomed for the race
by the Philadelphia and other pa
pers. Mr.. Carlisle of Kentucky,
backed by the great Courier-Jour-
nal and its satellites, is being nice
ly rubbed down. Mr.. Hurd, of
Ohio, the brilliant free trader. has
signified his intention to enter. Mr..
S. s. Cox, of New York, has numer-
Gus hackers and there are other.
bright and rising dark horses in the
hands of the political jockeys, being
put in thorough training for the
great race.
They are all thoroughbreds and 1t
viii be difficult to name the winner.
1t would seem, however, that Car
Isle is first choice with the know
ing ones, selling highest in the
pools, with Randall a good second.
After all there is no use being in a
hurry about betting your money,
and we would suggest that it would
be wisest to wait for pointers"

AT Chattanooga, the first of t

AT Chattanooga, the first of the
week, the Mayor directed that a
smallpox patient be taken to the
United States Barracks, in the SUBJ
urbs of the city. The commander
of the barracks refused TO receive
the sick man, and when the Mayor
insisted, the officer called out the
soldiers. The Mayor then called
out the police and a collision was
feared. The Secretary of War was
telegraphed to who answered, re-
fusing to allow the use of the bar
racks for hospital, on the ground
that such use would render them
unfit for other purposes and proba-
bly, require their destruction. This
ended the quarrel.

CONTESTED ELECTIONS.

This thing of contesting elections
has gone too far. IL is a growing
evil Ira both the great political par
ties and should be frowne6 down.
1t has got to be so much the fashion,
such a common thing that there
can be no close election without a
Contest by one side or the other. 1t
is nearly always productive of much
partisan strife and passion and rare
ly are the ends of justice and right
obtai ned. AS way or means of
obtaining Office IL is rarely success-
full and costs the Government large
sums of money annually Un-
doubtedly, in all cases of open and
notorious fraud, of bribery, of illegal
voting, &C., there should he thor
ough and impartial investigation,
but there is no doubt that contests
have been entered into on unsup-
portable and frivolous grounds,
vexing'and annoying the successful
candidate and greatly abusing the
privilege.
The New York Sun commenting
on the fact that several Democratic
candidates for the House of Repre-
sentatives who were defeated bv
small majorities on the 7th inst,
have announced their intention to
contest the election of their oppo-
nents to the next Congress, very
sensibly says: 1.-THE time has come
when contested elections should be
frowned down. Both parties have
countenaneed this abuse too long.
The expenses of such contests should
be borne by the interested parties
themselves, instead of by the Coy
eminent. Chronic contestants, like
Bisbee of Florida-whOse place OF
business is said to be Ia New York
have repeatedly driven a profita-
BILE trade by claiming seats and get
ting large allowances for alleged
expenses. This is very wrong.
The Democrats will soon have an
opportunity to begin the reform.
Instead of following the bad ex-
ample of the Republicans in this
Congress, let them proceed in every
contested case on the principle that
a Republicans right to occupy the
seat to which he has been elected is
as good as Democrats. This is
the correct rule of action and the
abuse of the privilege will soon be
abandoned.

NOTWITHSTANDING the alleged
instability of the Louisville and
Nashville railroad company, it

that ID is now in prosperous condi-

ponding time last year, are $25, 7O2,
and from July to November IA,
this year over same time last year,
were an increase of $685., 769. A

THE Railway Age states that rail-
way construction in the United
States during the month of October
aggregated 1898 miles of main track,
on seventy-one different lines, in
thirty States, making a total for ten
months of the present year of 9I43
miles, on 1913 lines, in forty-three
States and Territories, and estima-
ties the total construction for the
year at 10, 900 to $4,000 miles, which
far exceeds the construction in any
previous year. Dakota leads in
the construction during the past
month with 13l miles, Texas comes
es next with sixty miles.

THE Memphis Ayalanch,

The Memphis Avalanche says:
"Some of the States creditors in
New York say the policy of the
bondholders will be to fund no
more bonds under the late act and
to make no further propositions of
settlement, but wait for justice.
In other words they will maintain
state of mastery inactivity until
the State deals honestly with its
creditors. They will not have to
wait more than two years."

jackson Tribune and Sun.
An 'indiscreet contemporary calls
upon Senator jackson to resign his
seat in the U. 8. Senate because the
Senator is not in harmony with
his party in Tennessee on the debt
issue. lHa
We sincerely deprecate and earn
estly condemn this spirit and policy.
The division in the Democratic
family of Tennessee Is purely local
and involves only local policy.
The result of the election shows
that there is but small number
comparatively in opposition to the
party's policy, and that the party is
now secure of carrying out it's
views. Hence there is no cause for
further division and less for resent
inents of any kind. 1t should also
be remembered that the late boilers
from the Democratic party are.
though comparatively few in num-
Der, most respectable in ability and
character. Many of them are able
and honest and will prove valuable
in the great party contests of the
future. Nor is the question of the
State debt a just standard of Demoe-
racy. Men may and have all along
differed upon the issue and were
and are still Democrats. In illus
tratiOn of this we have only to refer
to the fact that most of the support
ers of Mr.. RUSSELL voted for Demo-
cratic congressman. Then let all
bitterness and extremes be relega-
ted to the dead past. Let the test
OF Democracy remain principles
and not local policies. Let the
wounds heal and all Democrats
come together upon the great
national issues of the day and move
forward to the accomplishment of
reform in the tariff, the uproOting
of monopolies and the firm estab-
lishmentOf constitutional principles
and methods. ga9 n"Ti' rIri +
Senator Jackson is man of fine
ability and high character. He is
with the Democracy upon all vital
national issues and should be en-
couraged and strengthened for the
great struggles for reform pending

Chalmers Beaten BY Clerical Error.
Il. JACKSON, MISS, Nov. I9.-The
Secretary of the State yesterday
,canvassed votes in the case of J. R.
Chalmers and Van. H. Manning,
candidates for Congress in the Sec
ond Mississippi district, and deci-
ded in Manning's favor. The Gov
ernOr Immediately issued certifi-
cate to Manning. The case turned
upon the vote of Tate county. The
tally-sheets show that county de-
clared Manning received ], 166 votes
and Chalmers I,472; but on the
reverse side or the certificate the
name WAS tnisspelled. J. r. Cham
bier. Secretary of State Myers
credited these votes to a fictitious
candidate of that name, sustaining
the returns in other counties. The
vote officially announced is: Man
ming, 8,749; Chalmers, s, 1853; Cham
bier, 1,472; Carter, 126. This extra.
ordinary decision has caused great
astOnishment. Chalmers sued out
an injunction from the Circuit
Court enjoining the Secretary of
State from giving a certificate of
election to Manning, and also OBJ
tanned a mandamus, both of which
were disregarded. He will at once
commence vigorous contest.
