Col Stephen a. Douglas, (ssn Of the
the late Stephen A. Douglas candidate
for President in 1867 stopped few
days in our city last week. The Colo
mel was on his way North having spent .
the winter in Florida, and was so we'll |
pleased with the bracing monntain air
of this locality that he was sorry that |
his business was such that he could not |
spend the summer months in this de- |
lightful climate Of East Tennessee.
Col. Douglas remarked to our repor-
ter that while he was not a political
man, yet be could not help but look at
the present political situation of both
parties. He thought black John Logan of
lllineis, would be the Republican caudi-
date for President. His reasons for
this conclusion were that Logan was
the only soldier talked OF; that Lagan's
reputation as o soldier could not be
gainsaid; that the boys in blue who
knew Logan were with him and would
stand BY him through thick and thin
and that he would carry much greater
strength than many papers of the coun-
try were willing to accord TO him.
In regard to his own party-the Dem
ocratic--they had made serious blum
ders-first in the defeat OF Randall for
Speaker and next in attempting to force
the Morrison TarifT-bill. He very much
feared that these fatal plumbers would
defeat the party in the coming Presi-
dental election. Yet with strong
united effort, with such statesmen
as Sam Tilden and Payne as leaders,
they could make the election sure.
These men would cement the Demo
cratic party, and take large vote from
the dissatisfied Repuhlicans-;hat feel
and know that change in the admin
istrstion will be for Il best interests
of the country.
