THE OLD TICKET.

1t is in order now to discuss Presi-
dental nominations, and the country
press is everywhere making sugges-
tons on the subject The CHRONICLE
is widely circulated paper of great
influence and national importance and
it is only in keeping with the spirit of
the times that we, too, should have
something to say in this regard.
Our present purpose is to protest
against the nomination of Tilden and
Hendricks, "the old ticket" as it is
called. To our way of thinking, if
there ever was reason why these gen.
tlemen should be again brought be-
fore the American public as the DEM
ocratic candidates for the Presidency
and Vice-Presideney, that reason
ceased to exist after the action of the
Cincinnati convention of 1880, in plac-
ing another ticket in the field. "The
fraud issue" if it ever had any vital
importance, was forfeited then, and
any attempt to revive it in the next
campaign would be silly and calcutta
ted to bring the party into ridicule.
We mean, to revive it by claiming
that Messrs. Tilden and Hendricks are
personally entitled to the offices on ac-
count of having been once cheated
out of them. The great fraud of 76,
as stain ON the Republican party,
will always be a strong point for the
Democrats to urge as long as Repub-
licanism exists, but it can gather no
force from again making Tilden and
Hendricks the Democratic nominees.
The ticket was strong one in 1876
and the best that could have been
made then, but aside from the doubt
full expediency of reproducing old
candidates, material circumstances
have TRANSFERRED to lessen its strength
within the past seven years. There is
a belief entertained by many Demo
Gratis that Tilden could have secured
the Presidency if he had been bold
enough to claim bis rights in 76, and
whether that be true or not, it is cal
culated to diminish his popularity.
Then, too, he positively declined to be
nominated in 80 and his age and in
firmities would make against him as
the coming candidate. Added to all
this is the almost universal demand
that the first place on the next Demo
cratic ticket should be given to
Western man. The East has been
tried long enough in vain, and the
party next year will call to the front
some vigorous Democrat from the
West.
Mr.. Hendricks has gained in moth
ing but unpopularity since 1876. His
untimely ambition made him scOrn
a denomination for the second place
when large portion of his party
thought it was incumbent on him to
again make the race, and now that the
Presidential bauble has entirely es-
capped him, he evinces his weakness by
scheming for a revival of the old
ticket.
The party is in excellent trim for
the fight next year and with a due
exercise of prudence and wisdom, its
success is insured. The "old ticket"
has many weak points and no very
strong ones, it must not, and will not
be renominated.

Hon. JOHN Y. KEITH, State Senator
from the Jackson District, knows how
to round a sentence and point peri
cd. IN his welcoming address to the
Northern excursionists at Jackson last
week he said, "The CORY and bitter
past does not rankle in the hearts of
the Southern people. They are look
ing to Il glorious future; the dead past
to them is locked up in oblivion and
the key hangs in the girdle of God"

1t will be observed that compare
son is made, both in the physical
and chemical tests, of the coke
made from Kentucky No. II coal,
with the Connellsville coke, which
is the standard by which ali the
cokes of Pennsylvania are measur-
ed. Notwithstanding the No. II
coke was incOmpletely made, as Mr..
Fulton states, it will be seen that
in all the essential properties, phys
ical and chemical, 1t bears remark
ably favorable comparison with the
Connellsville standard. 1t contains
less phosphorus, which is the most
hurtful ingredients, more fixed car
bon, the most valuable element,
and more sulphur, but this last can
be reduced by more careful manip-
ulation to 1.008. Mr.. Fulton says
in a letter accompanying the result
of his tests, that "the coke No. II
is almost identical with the Con-
nelIsville," and that sits chemical
elements are fully equal to the STAN
dard, with only little excess of
sulphur, which under careful treat
ment may be reduced forty per
cent-the phosphorus is remarkably
low" In concluding his report he
says further, that "there Is no reas-
on that it should not take an inn
portant place in the iron industry,
as a superior fuel for blast furnaces,
and other metallurgical USES"
Fully satisfied with the practical
and scientific tests to which this
coal has been subjected, proving It's
superior coking quality, the Crab
tree Company will at once COM
mence the erection of ovens, and
soon as practicable will proceed
with the making of coke. Besides
making superior coke, this coal
has also been tested in Pennsylva-
MIA as CRATE coal, and was shown
to be equal if not better than Pitts |
burg. With an ample output of
their coal, and readiness on the
part of the company to make con-
tracts for coke, the necessity for

pie of GAINESVILLE and the Narrow
Gauge company, the most earnest
consideration of the means thereto.
Two plans have been suggested, by |
which the mines may he utilized
here-that of laying third rail on
the G. & O. road from Princeton,
and the other of loading G. & o. cars
at the mines, and transferring to
narrow gauge trucks at Princeton.
Both are mere makeshifts, and will
not long satisfy the demands of an
pushing community of sa-
gacious business men. 1t is only
about twelve miles from the near
est point on the /. A. & t. road as
now located, to these mines, and
the traffic from them alone will be
much greater in the not very dis
tant future, and worth more to this
town and to the railroad company,
than all other business between here
and Henderson, KY. That branch
road must, and will be built soon
or later.

a RAILROAD BUILDER.

Mr.. Albert L. Rice, of 149 Broad
way. New York, sends us for publica-
ton a letter which he says is "the copy
of one sent Gov. Bate" The reason he
assigns for sending it to us is express
ed in the sentence, "You must be in
terested in having your state built up
He is very correct in that supposition
and the efforts of the CHRONICLE to do
all in its power for the advancement
of Tennessee evinces its truth. We
are anxious to promote the welfare OF
the State, but, to speak plainly, Mr..
Rice's very liberal, but rather indefi
mite proposition, bears too much the
marks of a crank to merit our serious
concurrence in his schemes. II we
mistake not, this same letter, or one
very much like it, was sent to the
Nashville American a month or two
since. 1t is something of a curiosity.
in its way, and we publish it more for
the amusement than the serious
consideration OF our readers. This is
the letter:
Governor HiliiHnl B. Bdte.-DEAR
SIR Il respectfully call your atten-
ton to a matter. having reference to
the material welfare of your State.
You will agree with me, that the
building of long lines of railroads
through your State would be of great
benefit to your people.
| will therefore inform you, that /
am prepared to carry on the building
of several long lines of railroads at a
time, and do not want any money till
sections of rs or so miles are built
would desire Companies to place
their bonds themselves to be cashed Us
each % or 80 miles are completed.
Yours respectfully,
ALBERT L. RICE.
I49 Broadway, New York, Oct. s, '93.
While Mr.. Rice is engaged is this
wholesale buiness of building "long
lines of railroad" GAINESVILLE would
like to put in bid Tor two or three,
or maybe we could take rs many as
half dozen. But before he can get any
monied assistance in such enterprises,
we would like TO inform him that he
will have to interview our business
men in person, or by reliable agent,
and lay before them some definite
scheme with assurances of good faith
on his part and OF his ability to COM
ply with his contracts. However, the
/. A. & T. railroad is about as much in
the railroad line as GAINESVILLE can
well manage just now, but nobody
here would object to Mr.. Rice's build
ing 1.-TWO or three long lines" termi-
mating ut this point if he chooses to do
so. But speaking for the whole state,
there are numerous towns in Tennes-
see that are awful anxious for a rail-
road and would esteem Mr.. Rice a
great beneiactor if he would give
them one. There's Carthage, for in
stance, that has been "bucking' against
Nashville for the Cincinnati & Green !
River road; Lebanon would like to
have the Tennessee Pacific carried to
Knoxville, and the people of Jackson
and SomerviIle would delight in a
direct line from the former place to
Memphis. We can assure Mr.. Rice
that there is plenty of work IN Ten
nessee for a man of his means and
Iiberality and we advise him to come
down this way and look after the mat
ter in person.
