q" Mr.. Tilden's wishes will be con-
suited in the choice of the Speaker
of the House" said a prominent
Western Democratic Representative
in Washington last week, "and this
fact is realized by each of the candi-
dates, who appreciate the power
welded by the head Of the old tick
ct. No one understands this better
than Mr.. Randall, and hence his
friends have been urging Mr.. Tilden
to come out squarely in his behalf
Since last years election the latter
has been kept busy replying to de-
mands of this sort, but thus far he
has committed himself TO neither of
the three candidates. lie is under
stood, however, that he favors Mr..
Randall somewhat, because it will
quiet the latter's Presidential aspir-
atoms, so that if Mr.. Tilden says
Randall must be the Speaker Penn
sylyania will secure the prize. No
one entertains n thought that there
will be any prolonged contest, for
the fight Is between Carlisle and
Randall, and either of these gentle
men win be nominated by the eau
Gus probably not later than the
third ballot"

THE LITTLE DEMAGoGUE NO LONGER
A POLITICAL FACTOR

Atlanta Consttntions HUN
We have received the advance
sheets of Mahone's much advertised
address sto the readjusters OF Yir-
ginia," but we do not care to burden
our columns with his wild dem
agogy. He is no longer an impor.
tant or even a significant figure in
politics, and his address shares his
insignifcance. He has been defeat
ed on his own ground, and by
methods of his own devisement, and
be will never recover his hold upon
the people of Virginia. He is dead
as an independent, dead as "read-
iuster," and he will soon be dead as
a republican. He can never hope
to so readiust his politics as to find
favor in the eyes of the people who
control affairs in Virginia.
His address is interesting as the
last despairing wall of an arr ant
political fraud, but its interest will
not Justify us in devoting four col
umns of space to its reproduction.
There is no doubt that Malone
thoroughly understands the situa-
ton. He understands that his de-
feat is perpetual so far as the peo-
pie of Virginia are concerned, and
for that reason his address is direct
ed less to the readjusters" who have
formerly acted with him than to a
public sentiment at the North that
is supposed to be always ready and
anxious to wave the bloody-shirt.
He discusses, with Q great show
ofindignation, the methods which
have been imputed to the Democrats
in the recent campaign by his per-
sonaI organs, but he seems to forget
that the Danville tragedy was made
possible only by the infammatory
appeals made to the negro race by
his own speakers. He forgets, more
over, that one of his prominent sup
porters is il jail under a charge OF
numbering negro.
The address is however, is a very
cunning document. 1t follows a
campaign which was deliberately
entered upon by Mahon for. the
purpose of incitinga war of races,
and its tone and statements are part
of desperate purpose to indamethe
Northern heart. That it will be
unsuccessful is certain, for no re-
spectacle Republican at the North
sympathizes with the efforts of the
Virginia demagogue. Malone has
gone, now let the Republican party

WHAT A CINCINNATI JOURNAL HAS TO
SAY OF EAST TENNESSEE.

SAY OF EAST TENNESSEE.
National Farmer and Stockman. 81 q
five are permitted to advise any
farmer who is dissatisfied with his
present location, we would earnest
iy recommend East Tennessee. The
soil cannot be excelled; the climate
cannot be more delightful; and a
more healthy section of the country
cannot be found. As large crops OF
grain are raised there as in any
part of the United States. A market
for all your products right at your
door-the cotton belt. There are
no billiards. no six months win
ter that takes the rest of the year
to raise enough to keep your stock
from starving. No "cyclones" or
"twisters" to scatter your effects
in the twikling of an eye. No bet
ter class of people can be found In
America. Corn and -four is sold in
Atlanta to-day that starts from the
far West by rail and then to New
York and Baltimore, then by sail or
steamer to Savannah and Charles
ton, then reshipped by rail into
the interior of the Cottonbelt, while
the same articles can be produced
at the same expense and save the
transportation of thousands of
miles. Excellent farms in the
cream of this section can be bought
for $40 to 500 per acre. Taking
everything into consideration con
nected with a farmers life, there
is no place in. America that has adj
vantages over East Tennessee.

canvass of the district, the Democrats fail
ed to show any anxiety in the matter as
Snyder's election was a foregone conelu-
sion. This being the season of the year
when the farmers are very busy, the vote
was comparatively light
Then taking into consideration that the
smallpox is prevalent in Mercer and Wyo-
ming counties, light vote was universally
expected. The returns are coming in
slowly, and at this hour hardly any esti-
mate can lie made on Snyder's majority,
but it is expected to be from 1000 to $500,
judging from the news received at this
point.
