Clarksville weekly chronicle. (Clarksville, Tenn.) 1873-1890, 1883-11-10

The Fulton Fultonian is for Hon. John
G. Carlisle for Speaker of the next House of
Representatives, but the editor don't think
the papers ought to say ugly things about
Mr.. Randall.
Dresden Enterprise: Democrats can do
nothing more detrimental to the interests
of their party than to set up useless wran-
gle over candidates for whom they may
have a personal preference. There is no
occasion for serious row about the Speak
ership.
Athens Post: My son, an old man may
not know one-tenth as much as young one
fresh from academic halls and classic groves,
but what the old one does know he knows
it thoroughly and all the way through. and
you had perhaps better consider little be-
fore tackling him.
Hopkinsville New Era: The Cincinnati
News-Journal published a letter, a few days
ago, from Cassius M. Clay, of this State,
favoring Hoadly, of Ohio, for the Presiden-
tial nominee of the Democratic party next
year. The party could do much worse, but
we are inclined to think it could also DO
better.
Covington, Tenn, Call: They randall
and Carlisle) are both staunch and tried
Democrats, against whose transcendent
abilities and fidelity naught can be said, nor
have we any sympathy with the disposition
to read man out of the party because he
differs with US on even some vital questions
of policy.
Paris Intelligencer: The tariff is regular
boomerang. A Republican Congress took
no inf fOfxu nd anti nnfo
tured wooden goods, thus enriching the
manufacturer at the expense of the farmers.
The result was that the Republican wool
growers of Ohio voted the Democratic ticket
and elected 1t.
Paris Intelligencer: "If old Ben Butler
waits for an office until Democrats outside
of Massachusetts give it to him, he'll never
hold another as long as he wears the name
of Butler" Your Uncle Benjamin has been
laid away on the shelf since this paragraph
was printed.
Jackson Tribune and Sun: The name still
clings to the public attention. Mr.. Tilden's
yacht is booked for Southern cruise this
winter, and the enemies of Mr.. Tilden who
build their hopes upon his advanced age
will find him the veritable ''old man of the
rightful position as President of the United
States. He is neither too old, nor is it too
late, and nobody regrets this more than our
friends "the enemies
Brownsville Democrat The national con-
test of 1884 is not practically won. The
Democratic party has plenty of time to de-
stroy its chances of success in 1884, and two
splendid opportunities to do so will be pre-
scented in the next Congress, and in the
Presidential convention of next year-but
it is to be hoped that it will not improve
them by repeating the follies of former
years.
Brownsville Democrat: The absurd and
impracticable policy of free trade has been
relegated by the stern fiat of the people to
the domain of dead issues, and the election
of any man to the Speakership whose record
on the tariff question is not clear, no matter
how pure his character, or eminent his abil-
ties, will be looked upon with suspicion by
the business men of the country, who recog-
nize the importance to American industries
of maintaining judicious and constitu-
tional protective system.
