the governnient economically admin
istered.
The County Democratic Conyen-
tons of Hardin, Carroll, Cheatham
and Bledson have each expressed
themselves on the tariff in language
equivalent to the Ohio platform.
The Overton County Democrats
say: We. favor retrenchmert and
reform in the administration of public
affairs, both State and National, and
demand reduction of the revenue
not inconsistent with the demands Of
the Treasury, and especially the
repeal of the odious internal revenue
law.
Our near neighbors, the Democrats
of Houston county, express themselves
very tersely, but to the point. They
say:
We are opposed to monopolies, and
favor legislation to favor the many
with due regard to the interest of the
few.
In the Williamson Comfy Democrat
ic Convention the following resolution
was adopted:
That this evil, (the accumulation Of
surplus, may be corrected, we demand
reduction, adjustments and reform OF
the tariff so as to produce 8 reserve
limited to the necessities of the Gov
eminent economically administered
and SO laid as not to create or foster
monopolies or corporations.

ever had before.
The next President will represent
more distinctly than any President
who has gone before him the idea
that pubiicservants mustbe compe-
tent, honest, and faithful business
men, and must stand for the nat
ional morality in its highest aspects
The heart of the people is set. as it
probably never was before, on hav-
ing In the White House q simple,
sober minded, clean handed man,
who is above reproach both in his
public and private life, who has no
antecedentS which need disguise or
oblivion, and who is not likely to
involve the Government in scam
dals and adventures, or build I'D
his own fortunes on public shame or
disaster. We believe the Conven-
ton will nominate such man, but
we all know that as conventions are
now made up, it may not. The
nominating machinery has become
so elaborate the Convention itself
has become SO large, so cumbrous,
so excitable, so exposed to great
gusts of passion and panic, that
there is chauce-it may be only a
chance in a thousand-that 1t may
give us candidate whom it will be
impossible for great many journ-
ais to support without dishonesty
and degradation, and impossible
for tens of thousands of voters to
vote for without sacrificing to party
the very things which parties are
intended to save. For that chance,
however remote, it behooves all
honest journalists to be prepared.
The Nation certainly is prepared
for it.

THE gARIFt IN TENNESSEE


We publish in another column nu-
merous extracts from the proceedings
of various county conventions, held in
the State recently, showing their ac-
ton on the tariff question. From the
prevalent tone of the resolutions adopt
ed, it can be readily seen that there
are many Democrats in Tennessee
who do not subscribe to Wattersonian
ideas on this subject but demand that
tariff reform be made with due re-
gard TO American labor and industries.
In several conventions, we were sorry
TO observe, there were actual conflicts
over this much disputed question and
in one instance it had to be ignored
altogether in order to restore peace.
1t is very desirable that the State
Convention which meets in Nashville
on the 18th inst, should be in every
particular harmonious. Discord has
too long prevailed among Tennessee
Democrats, and now that the trouble
some debt question is practically laid
aside, it would be pity that another
bone of contention SHOULD be thrown
into Democratic assembly. The Re-
publicans are Boosting loudly of their
increasing strength in Tennessee and
Congressman Pettibone promised the
electoral vote of the State to the Re-
publican Presidential ticket in the
event that his favorite, Blaine, should
be nominated. These assertions of
the enemy, we hope and believe, are
vain bragadocio with no foundation in
fact; but shall Democrats give them
such foundation by madly stirring up
dissentions among themselves?
If the convention of the 18th will
adopt a resolution similar to that
adopted by the Madison county DEM
ocrats, there will be no dissentions.
The differences among Democrats on
the tariff grow largely out of the phra-
seologya of resolutions expressing
opinions on the subject We would
not urge the adoption of an equivocal
utterance that might mean anything
or nothing, but this Madison county
platform expresses definite position,
in plain language and concise FORM to
which no Democrat could object The
resolution is printed elsewhere in this
issue of the CHRONICLE. We COM
mend it to all Tennessee Democrats
who favor harmony and especially to
those who go to the convention as
delegates from Montgomery county. p

The Morrow Case.

The arrest and examination of
Ransom Morrow and his two sons
for alleged secret murders commit
ted in district No. 8 of this county
several years ago, reported in last
weeks CHRONICLE, has awakened
considerable popular interest. AS
is always the case in such occurren-
ces, a great many false and sensa-
tional rumors have been put afloat
and it was not without difficulty
that the CHRONICLE could arrive at
d statement of facts that might be
relied on. $50
There have really been no devel-
opments in the case worth mention
ing since the examining trial, which
we reported last week, except the
indictment of all the Morrows by
the grand jury and the indictment
and arrest of DIR. p. P. Bellamy as
an accessory after the fact to the
murder of Brown. DR.. Bellamy is
sOn-in-law of Rams Morrow. He
was indicted, tried and acquitted
for the murder of Brown in 1878 and
some of our best informed lawyers
doubt that the present indictment
against him will hold good.
A dispatch to one of the Nashville
dailies stated that Judge Tyler had
ordered Rams and Bill Morrow to be
confined in the dungeon" of the
Jail. This was Misrepresentation.
There is no apartment in the coun-
ty Jail that could be properly called
dungeon, and all that the Judge
did was to suggest to the jailor the
propriety of separating Bellamy
and the two Morrows just men
toned. .. a..a
Deputy-sheriff Taylorwent thefirst
of the week to McLeansboro, b.
expecting to capture there Benz.
Morrow, charged with killing young
Sly, but on arriving found that the
parties who telegraphed him to
come had arrested the wrong man.
A party consisting of Mr.. M. V.
Ingram, Mike Savage, Esq, Mr..
Owen Prentiss, of the Nashville
American, Mr.. Ben Wiley, DIR.
Meacham, Mr.. Cooper and Mr.. Ben
son, explored Bellamy's cave We'd
nesday. The cave is quite near the
residence of Mr.. Sam Bellamy's.
one-quarter of a mile from Bill Mor-l
rows home and one-haf mile from
where old man Morrow lives. The
cave is an extensive. one and the
exploring party went at least mile
into it without reaching the end.
The party found nothing very start
ling in the cave unless it was some
small bones near the entrance which
may have been those of coon or
other animal. There. is a ditch
about u feet deep in the cave that
has running water in it. Its banks
are about fifteen feet from the en-
trance to the cave and on account of
its dark and gloomy aspect it has
been locally designated "Hell's
Hole" Twas on the banks of this
ditch that the skeleton, identified as
that of Dick Overton, was discover
ed. 1t was lying with its feet to-
ward the ditch. 2AE.
The exploring party did not enter
a number of side caverns that they
passed in going through the cave.
One of their discoveries were num-
Der of old ovens, indicating that
salt'peter had been manufactured
there many years ago.

Mrs. elizabeth Z. saxsn.


The Clarksville public probably
feels sufficient interest in the lady
whose name heads this article to
wishto know something Of her his
tory. To supply such information
we copy the following article con-
corning her from the Nashville
American: 4
Mrs. Elizabeth L. Saxon, who
has recently been appointed State
Organizer for the Woman's Chris
tian Temperance Union of Tennes-
see. and general agent and lecturer
for the prohibition cause, began her
work at Athens when the Grand
Division OF the Tennessee Sons of
Temperance met there. This well
known reformer was born in Green
vile, Tenn, in 1882. She was the
wife of Mr.. l.. A. Saxon, of New
Orleans, and IL temporarily resid-
ing with her daughter, Mrs. A, J..
Murray, of Memphis. She was
left motherless when but a child.
and her father, Andrew Lyle, was
a Confederate prisoner in Memphis
in 1868 whence she relieved him
only to witness his death few DAYS
thereafter.
Mrs. Saxon is genuine philan-
thropist, having passed through
several yellow fever scourges in
New Orleans at the head of band
OF noble women, administering to
the wants Of the suffering and losing
some of her own children by the
scourge. Almost every reform of
recent years has been aided by her
voice or pen, Strong in her devo-
ton to woman, she hesltates at no
personal sacrifice that may tend to
her advancement. She has travel
ed and spoken in almost every State
OF the Union, and has been for wears
a press writer of great versatility of
talent, her poems displaying high
order of literary talent. Her politi-
cal knowledge is. extensive, and she
has friends among the foremost
men Of the nation. IShe is person.
ally acquainted with almost every
refom worker in the country, and
has correspondent for years with
eminent men and women both in
Europe and America.

THAT the Tennessee Democratic
delegation in Congress voted sOlidly
against striking out the enacting clause
of the Morrison bill is no evidence
whatever that they would vote for "a
tariff for revenue only" plank in the Ma
tional platform. DibreI, Caldwell and
Young, to the contrary, have designa-
ted their opposition to such princi-
pie. The attitude of the first mention
ed is so clearly defined that it cannot
be questioned. Mr.. Caldwell's "aurif-
erous bird" letter meant, if it meant
anything, that Southern manufactures
should, in their infancy, be accorded
the protection that has so long been
given the industries of the North. We
are in receipt of "a part of the Con
gressional Record" purpoting to be a
speech delivered by Hon. Casey
Young in which he argues against the
Morrison bill, but expresses his deter
mination, to. vote for it as a party
measure agreed on in caucus. These

REPUBLICAN OPPOSITION TO BLAINE

A dispatch from New York dated
the 10th inst, gives the following intel
ligence which is very gratifying to
Democrats: go
New York, June 10-Newspaper
opposition to Blaine grows stronger
daily. This evening the Post, which
bitterly opposes him, prints a list OF
the Independent and Republican
papers which are openly committed
against him. 1t now stands: New
York Times, New York Herald,
Harper's Weekly, Puck, Evening
Telegram, Brooklyn Union, Rochester
Post Express, Rochester Herald,
Syracuse Herald, Flushing Times,
Boston Advertiser, Boston Transcript,
Boston Herald, Springfield Republi-
can, Philadelphia Record, Philadelphia
Times, Chicago Times, Chicago News,
and New Haven News. In addition,
several influential papers like the
Commercial Advertiser and the Boston
Journal are very cool in their support.
The Commercial Advertiser, OF this
city, has not defined it's position, but
evidently has no intention of advoca-
ting Blaine. A representative of
Harper & Bros. said to-day that Har-
peris Weekly would oppose the Chica-
go nominations; that the decision to
this effect was reached by the mem
bers of the House unanimously, and
that the pen of George William Curtis
and the pencil of Thos. Mast would
be united in opposition to Blaine and
