Driving Democrats Away.

In the name of democracy and
for the sake OF the democratic party
in Tennessee, we beg the papers and
people who are still pursuing those
who differed from them 10 halt.
The party lash is laruped with "A
cruel, sharp twist and you crack ii
loud and seem to enjoy it. But can
the party poll a majority next time

the people<are tired of such bosses
and their insolence - That they
preferred not to vote rather than
have something crammed into them
which the bosses called democracy
Right i'm the face OF this and as if
determined to force 1t further and
make Tennessee republican State,
a rabid newspaper denounces Sc
newspapers i'm Tennessee as "putrid
and petty journals" ''sordid," Sub
sidized," Corrupt" "traitorous,
Infamous" "bought up" etc.
Assure as 1886 comes, unless this
bitterness is left off and unless bet
ter aud more sensible men shape the
politics Of the party. Tennessee
will stand in the republican column.
This is no threat, for the writer has
sworn in his wrath never to vote
for republican; but there are
thousands Of men who did not live
and see the thibgs he saw and felt
Ia Brownlow's life, and these youn-
ger men are learning to despise de-
mocracy for the iittleness Of its
leaders.
The Citizen by strenuous and uu-
endeavor persuaded Giles

to commence to quit the vilification |

One Of them was crying bitterly, which at

In age they were about twenty years and one
was remarkably handsome, while both were
richly dressed. At the alley they stopped
and the handsome girl exclaimed in pas
sionate tones:
mo, Ill never stir until meet that -
- and blow his brains out!
The reckless, passionate abandon of the
girl was thrilling, and the reporter quietly
ensconced himself in the market house to
await the arrival Of the man who was to
get his brains blown out. The two girls
carried on an excited conversation, the
words of one being choked with sobs and
those of the other, being marked BY en-
treaty, while the child gazed wonderingly
at both. A half hour passed, during which
several pedestrians went BY looking
curiously at the two girls, one so pretty that
