Clarksville weekly chronicle. (Clarksville, Tenn.) 1873-1890, 1884-09-20

Very few members Of the last legis-
lature have so far been re-nominated.
Cleveland has written letter deny-
ing that he ever advised the passage of
the Morrison tariff bill. e
Blaine win probably make several
speeches in Ohio. He wants to get in
the effect Of his supposed magnetism
ON the Buck Eyes before the October
election. 40
Carl Schurz is doing the most. eff
fective work for the Democratic ticket
of any man in the Union. His speeches
TO the Germans in the West are having
a telling effect
THE way Blaine had the ladies de-
coyed away from the polls at Augusta
in order that he might escape their
opportunities to vote a prohibition
ticket was characteristic of the man
always resorting to some low cunning
to carry his end.
When you go to cast your vote in
November, cut out the ticket at the
CHRONICLES "mast head" and put it in
the box without amy alterations or adj
denduns. It il good Democratic
ticket from "'eend ieend" and has no
superduities.
Chester Citizen: Good roads, more
sheep, fewer dogs, more fish, fewer
seines, fewer laws, more knowledge |!
This is the Home Journals creed.
Dash it with "darn the internal Rail-
road Commission" then pass it to US.
Everything now centers on Ohio
Should the Democrats carry that State
in October little short of revolution
can prevent Cleveland's election to
the Presidency in November. A Re-
publican victory in Ohio will not be
so decisive. In that event the situa-
ton will still remain problematical,,
A very important factor in the COM
ing election in Tennessee will be the
abIesbodied scratcher. We admire the
man who knows how to scratch dis
creetly and in the coming contest he
can do world of good in defeating
the schemes of the ringsters and pro-
fessional politicians. Scratch, brothers,
scratch with care. ID
1t is an abiding fact that the Savage
railroad commission fixed up table
of rates that favored Mr.. Cherrys pen
itentlary produce. Since Mr.. Cherry's
organ is also the commissions organ,
and insists so strongly on its retention
with increased power, there seeRs to
be strong bond of sympathy between
Mr.. Cherry and the commission.
1t is true that no railroad commits
sion can accomplish anything in Ten
nessee until the case now pending in
the U. s. Supreme Court has been de-
cided, and probably not then. But
there is nothing small about our State,
and in the mean time she viii pay
5000 year in pensions to John III.
Savage and his confreres, just for the
fun of the thing, you know.
The editor of the Dresden Era has
been reading the organs on the Guber-
material canvass and comes to the fol-
lowing melancholy conclusion: @Bate
and Reid are both dead. Like the
Kilkenny cats, they annihilated each
other. But their ghosts, like John
Browns body, still go marching on"
The two-thirds rule, as practiced by
Democratic conventions, is an unrea-
sonable obstruction to a nomination.
There is no sense in its observance
and it should be done away with. It's
evil consequences have been fully il
Illustrated in the conventions of the
Seventh and Ninth Congressional
districts of this State this year.
The Cincinnati Post, a strictly indie
pendent journal, says 1.-THE cry raised
by the Republican papers of the State
that the miners would vote against the
Democrats on account of Gov. Hoad-
ly's action, is entirely without founda-
ton. The probability is that the
miners vote of the Hooking Valley
will be almost a unit for the Demo
cratic ticket"
The Nashville Tennessean (Rep,)
says: "Up to the hour of going to
press, Gov. Cleveland has taken no
proceedings against the Buffalo clergy
for libel" If the Rev. Ball is "the
Buffalo clergy" then Heaven help
Buffalo; but what we wish to say in
this connection is that the latest news
from Indianapolis inclines us to be-
lieve that Mr.. Blaine would have done |
better to have followed his competitors |
example in the law suit business.
The address prepared and put forth |
by Tammany is not very fine cam
paign document for Democratic use. |
1t concludes with resolution to sup
port the National Democratic ticket |
and was adopted by large majority. |
But from the tone of the address and |
the applause that was given Grady, |
who bolted the decision and made
speech abusive of Cleveland, we con-
clude that this support will be given
in very half-hearted way. The Dem
ocrats had about as well make up their |
minds to get along without Tammany |
in this election. Such seemed to be |
their intention when they set down on
that organization at Chicago
lack Taylor, of Covington, has been
nominated for Congress by the Re-
