Clarksville weekly chronicle. (Clarksville, Tenn.) 1873-1890, 1883-10-27
OUR NEIGHBORS OPINIONS ON
CURRENT TOPICS.

The Memphis Ledger suggests Cleveland
and Hoadley as good team for 1884.
| Milan Exchange: Ohio says "the rascals
must co." and the balance of the country
says amen.
Pulaski Citizen: The wreck found on
Ararat has been proven to be the remains
of the ark by the odor of the bunk in which
Ham slept.
Bowling Green Democrat: Is II not about
time something was being said about
Thanksgiving Day, now that the Ohio cleo
ton Is over9
Memphis Scimitar: That Carlisle may
win the prize, the Scimitar sincerely hopes.
That Randall may win the prize, the Scimi-
tar greatly fears.
Athens Post The system of interviewing,
as now practiced, generates more lies and
is productive of more mischief than all
things else incident to journalism.
Jackson Tribune and Sun Let the Demo-
cratic party hang its banner on the outer
wall and write upon it the magic words
''Tilden and Hendricks, Retrenchment and
Reform"
Jonesboro Herald and Tribune (Republi-
cam: The results in Ohio and Iowa last
week lead us to believe and hope that the
last has been heard of temperance issues in
modern politics.
The Bowling Green Democrat thinks since
Judge Joe Bradley, of Electoral Commission
fame, delivered the opinion of the Supreme
Court in the civil rights cases, he is not such
a bad man after all.
Pulaski Citizen: 1t must have been a
mistake about Senator Humans son going
over to the Republicans, or else the votes
he carried in his breeches pocket slipped
out at a hole. He thought he was going to
play thunder, and he did-to himself.
Russellville Herald Enterprise: If the
civil rights decision of the Supreme Court
can be tortured into political significance,
how does it speak for the opinion of the
Republican party as to the social status and
capabilities of the colored man and brother.
Trenton Globe There is little effort Tor
rather big effort made by few little peo-
ple) being made to read Mr.. Randall out of
the ranks of the Democratic party; but it
will be difficult matter to get rid of man
that has been of SO much service to his
country as Mr.. Randall.
Jackson Wing: In the galaxy of states
men mentioned in connection with Presi-
Dental honors Judge Hoadly, like Saul of
old, measures head and shoulders above his
fellows, and while we would not disparage
the claims of other prominent Democrats
for the position, we can but conclude that
he should be the standard bearer of the
party.
Franklin Review and Journal: We have
no patience with the criticism in this coun-
try against public man on account of age.
In Europe the men who control affairs are
nearly eighty years old. In this country
men like TiIden and Thurman, not yet
seventy, are set aside for incompetents and
young unavailables. We are for ripe
leader and pure Democrat.
Union City Our Country: Tennessee needs
a reform Governor, man who will not be
afraid to attack fraud and corruption wher- !
ever he finds it.. Col. A. s. Colyar, of Nash
vile, is such a man. He is man of integ- !
rity and ability, and we would like to see
him elected Governor. The people of Ten
nessee, we believe, would ever be proud of |
their choice. |
Hopkinsville New Era: The house of Rep |
is Democratic in its political
and upon the wise or unwise
action of this body during the coming ses- |
sion will depend, to great extent, the |
chances of electing Democratic President |
next fall. Therefore it behooves the Demo-
cratic leaders in the House to be exceedingly |
careful and cautious.
South Kentuckian: The Muhlenburg Echo
has declared for the "Old Ticket" for the
upon the ground that great
wrong would be righted by its election.
Mr.. Tilden is now in his list year and is
almost superannuated, and Mr.. Hendricks
is unpopular, not only in his own State but
all over the country, because he refused 10
accept the second place in 1880, and thereby
kept the wrong from being righted. Be-
sides the head of the ticket must come from
the West.
Bowling Green Democrat: A mob eff oyer
six hundred men collected at Fowler, Ind,
the other day, and undertook to hang Nell
ing, the self confessed murderer of Ada At
kinson. They howled and stormed and
cursed around awhile, and after rousing the
whole community, they gave up the job,
and dispersed. Those things are done very
differently in Kentucky. Instance, the
Russellville lynching. 1t was as quiet as
Sunday school picnic, and attracted no
more of a crowd than the store of man
who does not advertise.
The Tennessee papers that support RAN
iall for Speaker, that is, those that we have
heard from on that point, are the Nashville
American, Memphis Avalanche, Knoxville
Tribune, Chattanooga Times, and probably,
he Chattanooga Democrat, dailies; the
Brownsville Democrat, Trenton Globe and I
iallatin Examiner, weeklies. We are not
Lble to define the position of the Nashville !
Banner on the Speakership, but we are dis
,osed to write it down with the Randall
quad. A large majority of the country
,apers have never expressed themselves In 7
his regard.
