CURRENT TOPICS.

mean very different things.
shelbyville Commercial: If the Demo-
| cratic leaders act wisely and periodically
Athens Post Talk about the fool killer
| and his neglected subjects 1t is the monu-
| mental liar that ought to be knocked on the
head with weavers beam.
The Winchester News is all broke up be-
cause Brother Slater OF the Home Journal
| "exultantly boasts that he fears no hell"
Don't worry about it, just give him time.
Cadiz Telephone The old fogyism which
| prevailed among the people of Kentucky
| forty, thirty or twenty years ago, and which
| prevails now to some extent, is gradually
| fading away
The editor of the Ashland City Reporter,
who has only recently begun journalism,
finds that "politics seem to be in a state of
mastery inactivity in Tennessee at the
| present time"
| Brownsville Democrat: In making the
| Presidential nomination reference should
be had exclusively to the good of the whole
country, and all sectional sentimentality
should be wholly ignored.
Milan Exchange: One little manufactur-
ing enterprise would be worth more to
community than all the merchants and
brokers combined because it would produce
something to bring money.
| The Nashville American, the Brownsville
Democrat, and the GalIatin Examiner, are
all very earnest advocates OF Randall for
| Speaker. Don't fret about the Speakership
| All we want is a capable Democrat.
Lebanon Herald Henry Ward Beecher
says good thing now and then. One of the
best that he has said lately was that "Tilden
is a relic of past age, and an impossibility
as presidential candidate for any party"
The Bowling Green Gazette says: "If it
| is not President Hoadly we are unable to
wrestle with the question THE Gazette man
| had just heard the news from Ohio and was
probably wild with enthusiasm, as it were.
| Bowling Green Democrat: Mary Ander-
| sons success in London is rapidly on the
| increase, and the blarsted Britishers are ac-
knowledging that tour Nary is several de-
| grees superior to Mrs. Langtry in every
| thing,
| Murfreesboro News: The Bishop of
Rochester, England, says that he considers
| the Americans the most religious people in
| the world. If this be the case we tender
our most distinguished sympathies to the
| rest of the world.
Tullahoma Guardian 1t is time that the
| attention OF the people who are the source
| OF power should be called to the necessity of
| a vastly higher standard of morals, not
| only in the halls of legislation but in every
| responsible position in the government.
| Riply News: "Some of the papers are
| discussing the idea that the South is en-
| titled to have Il Southern man on the Pres-
| Dental ticket next year. We look upon
| the move as very imprudent. Nothing of
| sectional character should he brought into
| the canvass.
| Brownsville Democrat: 1t is obvious
| that the present methods of farming must
| be abandoned as ruinous in their results,
| and new and more enlightened methods in
| troduced. Wide Information and constant
| thought are essential conditions of success
full farming.
The Union City Our Country says: A re-
port is again going the rounds that Tilden
and Hendricks VIII accept the presidential
nomination at the hands of the Democratic
vote than any other living man." Has it
| been conclusively proven then that S. j. T.
1 is really ga living man."
Bowling Green Gazette: The Democracy
are now invested with responsibility de-
| manding craftsmanship of the highest or
der. Blatherskites and barnacles and dem
agogues and dolts must be carried to the
| rear if it has to be accomplished with po-
| lice force and stretchers. Brains and judg-
ment must come to the front.
| HOpkinsvill New Era: The colored Re-
publican voters demand as the price of their
allegiance that negro shall be nominated
for Vice President on the party ticket in
1884. The colored voters will find that the
white Republicans will do no such thing.
If such demand is pressed and insisted on,
the white Republicans will simply let their
colored brethren go.
Gallatin Examiner: Prominent among
the mischief makers and marplots is the
Courier-Journal, paper of wide circulation |
and influence, which has labored to inter- |
polate into the Democratic platform a free
trade policy utterly at war with the tradi- |
tiOnal teachings of our wisest Democratic |
statesmen and the UNMARRIED line of plat |
forms for generations with but single ex-
ception. |
The Frankfort Yeoman very kindly in
forms its readers that the King Alfonso who |
is kicking up such a fuss in Europe is not |
the celebrated kentucky race horse of that |
name, the sire of Foxhall. the winner of the |
Grand Prix and the Derby. The Yeoman |
also volunteers the information that the |
latter is quietly enjoying a stable govern |
ment at WOODBURY., more stable in every |
sense than that at Madrid.
Paris Post: The "Sky-blues" are saying |
nothing. So far as we know, they hope the |
present settlement will be accepted and the |
question ended. They have always been for |
any settlement that ended the question.
They will be found ON hand in the next
canvass with their armor on, fighting for l
the Democracy healing the breach wher-
ever they can, and their battle cry will be |
"retrenchment and REFORM"
The Jonesboro Herald and Tribune, Re-
publican, says in speaking of the result of
the Chattanooga election: snyder was the
Republican candidate, and the Chronicles |
special says that he was put forward by the |
negroes and that his defeat is attributed to |
his unpopularity. The Board of Aldermen |
is Republican" Are we to infer from this |
that Snyder run behind his ticket because
he was "put forward by the negroes?" A
rather peculiar reason for q Republican |
paper to assign.
Jackson Tribune and Sun: The South has
had too much of sectionalism already, and
the demand by few Incorporate journals
for Southern representation on the Demo-
cratic Presidential ticket is therefore uu
wise and we will add, uncalled for. The
Democratic Presidential ticket should be
selected with view to fitness and availa-
btlity, and these points alone should infiu
ence the party. Let us have done with the
"claims" $50 called" of sections" in dealing
with national matters.
We regret to learn of the serious
illness of Mr.. Morris King of South |
GAINESVILLE. But little hope was en-
tertained of his recovery yesterday
morning.
