Prohibition In the Election.

The Maury Democrat gives ex-
tracts'from a speech recently made
by Maj. VIM. J. Sykes, i'll which he
gives his reasons for not supporting
what is called national prohibition.
Maj. Sykes is IA State Rights Demo
erat, and believes strongly in the
doctrine OF local self-gOvernment, In
opposition to the concentration Of
power i'm the General Government:
"I am not in favor of National
Prohibition party, because this is a
State and local question, as decided
by the Supreme Court OF the United
States in the celebrated license case
reported In the Fifth Howard. 70
confer upon the Federal Govern
ment the right to regulate or pro-
hibit the liquor traffic would be to
place in its hands dangerous
power and would result in sWarns
of Federal officehOlders, and would,
in my opinion, produce great cor.
ruptioH. 1t would not result in
practical prohibition OF the liquor
traffic in States favorable to the
traffic. This is Il question which
must be left TO local governments In
order to be effective. would rather
have moral suasion, as it is called,
or au enlightened public sentiment,
without any prohibitory legislation,
than to invest the General Govern
ment with the right to interfere
with domestic affairs. This evil
would be greater than the evil
which they are trying to remedy.
Individually prefer leaving this
question to counties which are po-
litical entities, but am willing to,
leave it to the people of the State as
Il whole. Farther than this can
not go, because believe ii would
be unwise and dangerous. Local
government in opposition to GEN.
tralized despotism is the CARDINAL
principle of democratic govern
ment
"The Temperance men OF Ten
nessee only ask that thequestiOn OF
the liquor traffic be left TO the peO-
pie OF the State, irrespective OF
party. Who that believes in the
right Of the people to govern the
country can deny this )? So far as /
am concerned, am willing cheer
fully to acquiesce in the decision OF
the people" .f..f..

NEW YORK MERCHANTS.

Rally to Cleyeland's Welcome and Support
Gov. Cleveland arrived in New
York City from Albany shortly be-
fore noon yesterday. A large and
| very enthusiastic crowd accompa-
MED his carriage to the Fifth-av.
Hotel. Till his one-o'clock lunch
he received callers. In the after
noon he held a public reception in
the parlors. Among other callers
| was Daniel McSweeney, the releas-
ed Irish suspect. In the evening
he attended, at the Academy OF
Music, an immense mass meeting,
gotten up by the Democratic and
Independent merchants of the city.
The meeting, presided over by
Mayor Grace, was addressed by
Gov. Waller, of Connecticut. Hen
ry Ward Beecher received a great
ovation as he stepped upon the
stage at the, conclusion of Gov.
Walters speech. He. declared that
the revolt of the Independents was
not whim or caprice0 OF a moment,
but a lifelong undertaking. not de-
pendant on the issue OF triumph or
defeat in the present election.
"OhiO may GO as she. has been
wont to 60. New York may not
go as she ought TO go, but we shall
go as we ought to go, and stay as
we ought to stay" f- = T
While Mr.. Beecher was speaking
Gov. Cleveland came in, and a cy-
clone of applause greeted his appear.
ance. He thanked the audience for
the heariiness Of his welcome; dep
recated the refusal OF business men
to hold Office and actively engage
In public duties. He said in conclu-
sion: ... f tf,. -,,, "a.
II construe this large and enthu-
siastic meeting, and the determine
tion on the part OF the business
men, from which it had its rise, as
the promise OF a time when they
shall find the path of duty as well
as interest in a practical and intelli-
gent interference with political ques-
tions and issues"
A letter from ex-Gev. Tiiden was
read and lendly applauded. In it
he regretted that feeble health pre-
vented his attendance, declared that
the election OF Cleveland and Hen
dricks is demanded by the best in
terests Of The country, and concluded
as follows: 1,,..s t.. ...... r.,...s
~ believe that their election will
be . substantial victory for the
cause of good government; that 1t

rity TO the Federal Government SO
Tar as that result depends upon the

The Town OF Whitfield.

HopkinsvlIle South Kentuckian.
So great is the faith OF the people
OF South Christian in the ultimate
completion of the l.. A. Il Il. Rail-
road that quite town has been laid
off at what IL destined to be the
most important station on the new
road in Christian county. At the
point on the Palmyra road where
the farms OF w. w. RadfOrd and
DR.. E. A. Wilson corner on oppo-
site sides is the point where the en-
bryo town has been located. The
town cuts off less than an acre on
DIR. Wilson's side and crosses the
road and cuts off five acres on Mr..
RadfOrd's corner. The depot has
been located on this spot and the
town has been named Whitfield,
being so called in honor OF Mr.. Rad
ford, that being his given name.
The grading has been completed
several miles past this station and q
switch 100 feet long has been gra-
ded. Mr.. RadfOrd has divided his
five-acre cutoff into streets and
lots and has already sold three lots.
One will be occupied by a business
house, another by tobacco house
and the other by a blacksmith's g
shop. DIR. Wilson has also sold
three lots across the Palmyra road,
one Of which will be occupied by
Mr.. Buck Trahern, of Rose Hill,
Tenn, who will erect a tobacco
house. DIR. Wilson is now building
business house fronting on the
public road which has already been
rented. He Is also building a cot
tage for rent. Other buildings will
be built before the end OF the year

No Politics Involved
Tnllahoma Guardian.

We are asked why, when either
the Democratic or, Republican cam
didates for railroad commissioners
must be- elected, we oppose the
present nominees OF the DeHIocratie
Convention. We answer frankly,
because there is no political issue
in vofved, aud we esteem the best
interests Of the State paramount to
the election of any man or set OF
men. We consider. the election OF
either the Democratic or Republican
nominees Iiuliity, and as having
no bearing whatever upon the issues
which divide the parties. The elecI
lion ar defeat " the one prthe other
as political partisians, can have NO
meaning one way or another, and
therefore, 1t Is not obligatory upon
any Democrat to- make an issue
upon a question having nOstatua in
politics. Taking this view OF the
question land Democratic teaching,
as we understand II, does.not bind
man's conscience, nor force him 10
vote against his convictions at the
behest OF what he believes TO be
wrong party policy,) we shall not
vote for the candidates OF ihcr
party. thereby negatively express
ing our condemnation OF a policy
which we conceived TO be iuiInical TO
the best welfare Of the people uf the
State. IL Is not-a question Of "beat.
ing the Republicans" land should
have no influence upon a single
voter hr.-.t..s .5t.raaa

| What should democrats who are
opposed to the railroad commission
do? There is but one course for
them to pursue, and that Is 20 re-
fuse to vote for railroad cOmtnissr
toner's. There are no offices TO fill,
and the election OF Savage, Turley
and Gordon would merely be an
endorsement of their course, and Of
the sayings and doingS OF John. H..
Savage. 1t might be considered a
declaration on the part OF the peo-
Pile that their salaries should be
paid. Remember that John III /.
Savage and Others were paid for
fighting the new issue case, which
they lost, and which never did the
state any good. We suppose Wilson
and Vertrees, employed by the
railroad commissioners, will have
to be paid by the state and that
will be so much money thrown
away. The democracy of the state
are opposed to the present raiIrOad
commission and opposed ytb the
present railroad commissioners. III
a new law is to be enacted they
wish new men. How, then, can
they show this g4faI
Let democratic tickets be placed
in every county omitting the names
of the railroad commissioners. Let
all who wish to vote for Savage,
Turley and Gordon write their
names. IL / have hearl II estimated
that these men will run 81, 900 votes

whether that IL SO, bus I am satis-

Much has been written by that
portion Of the press favoring d Rail-
road Com mission, and the law un-
| der which they operate, questioning
the Democracy of the Journals that
believe it harmful to the interests OF
Tennessee to have the roads regu-
lated and controlled by other than
their owners. For, the Information
OF the people, We give below list OF
the Democratic papers, as nearly as
we have been able to ascertain, that
oppose the Railroad Commission
law; also those favoring the law
and the present commission.
The Democratic papers opposing
Commission ares: Gallatin Exami-
ner, Milan Exchange, Chester CHI,
zen, Fayetteville Observer, Bolivar
Bulletin, Paris Post, Manchester

Pulaski Citizen. Columbia Herald
The trade Journals opposing the
commission are: The Nashville
Lulnberman, the Budget, the
Tradesman, the Artisan. Ia fact,
we believe every trade journal in
the State is opposing the Railroad
Commission. The Banner, an In
dependent paper, is also against the
Commission,
The Democratic papers faVOrlng
Commission are Gallatin iTennes-
sean, Clarksvilie Democrat, Nash
vile World, Bristol Courier, Frank /

vile New Era, Greenvile Democrat,
Memphis Appeal, Knoxville Tri-

porter.
Three OF the papers mentioned as
favoring the commission are OPP
posed to the present law, the Mem
phis Appeal, Valley Herald and
Ashland Reporter. This small
number of papers advocating u
Railroad Commission question the
Democracy OF the large number

them out of the party. It revives
the old story of the eleven jurors,
