Col. Pitkin G. Wright, of MASKS
vile, (formerly of New York. a Re-
publican of some prominence and
responsibility, was at Republican
headquarters in New York the othS
er day and, like Alvin G. Hawkins,
gave most fiattering reports of
Blaine's strength in Tennessee. Be
ing asked if he would carry the
State, Col. Wright said "he would
but for the Republican officers" ex-
planning further that "the two Re%
publican Congressman would 'rath-
er have the balance of the delega-
ton all Democrats SO that they can
control all the government patrons
age for the State" This is rather
rough on Houk and Pettibere, but
worse than this, they do say that
Houk wants to control it all him

RAILROAD REGULATION.

The Chattanooga Times, refer
ring to the complaints made by
farmers and truckmen in southern
Georgia that on account of high
freight and the greed of middle men
they have been unable to ship their
products to northern markets with>
out loss, says:
And this moves us to inquire ::
Why does not the Georgia railroad
commission protect the truck farms
ers against these exactions? Why
does it allow this great interest to
be broken down? If it be answer
cd that nearly all the shipments of
melons, etc, are to points beyond
the state and therefore not under
the supervision of the commission,
we ask further, what good is the
commission to the great producing
interests of Georgia? Ninety per
cent of those products on which
farmers and planters expect to real>
ize profits, are sent beyond the state
lines. If railroads may make up
for losses on LEGAL freights prescribed
by the commission by imposing ex>
tortionate rates on products going
out of the state, where does the gain
of the producer come in as q result
of the commissions supervisory
power?
If we apply these facts and dcduc-
tons to our affairs here in Tennessee
we shall not thereby encourage
farmers of this state to expect great
advantage from placing the manage
ment of our railroads In the hands
of commissioner. The local sched-
ule proposed by our commission
fixed rates on farm products about
% per. cent. higher than those en-
forced by the Georgia commission,
thus putting our people at decid-
ed disadvantage. If any commits
sion in the country could have
achieved success in supervising the
work of a states railroads, the
Georgia commission should have
succeeded. But the facts are the
other way. The greater portion of
the press of the state bears united
testimony that its intermedling has
about brought about the projection
of new lines to a standstill, while it
has not encouraged the extension of
old ones. There is abundant proof
that while the city of Atlanta has
been considerably profted through
the operation of commission rates,
the state at large has not, on the
whole, been served as cheaply by
the roads as before the commission
undertook their direction.
There is no basis of sound reason
ing for state commission to rest
upon. They cannot interfere with
rates fixed in their state on cargoes
destined for points beyond the states
jurisdiction. Whatever concessions
they force from the roads on local
business is gotten back from local
shippers byincreasing rates on goods
going out or coming into the state
Ii only results in taking money out
of one railroad till and putting it
back in another railroad till. The
people who pay piper are not ben
Gifted unless the privilege of paying
several thousand dollars year as
salaries and expenses of a commits
sion may be rated benefit.
In the case of Tennessee the ship
pers on her roads had no right to
expect any thing Of the commission
but that which has happened. The
law of their creation was hotch-
pcteh Of cyudlties and compromises,

Messrs. Houk and Hawkins, we
fear, will now find it necessary to
raise the figures of their proposition
TO the National Republican commit
tee. From the way the tide is run
ming towards the Demoeracyin Ten
nessee, as shown by last Thursday
elections, it will require something
moro than $780, 900 to deliver the
State to Blaine and Logan next No
vember. The Democratic gains have
not only been large but generally
distributed throughout tho State.

our CONGRESSIONAL CANVASS.

OUR CONGRESSIONAL CANVASS.
Whatever reason we may have
had, a week ortwo ago, for advising
against the calling of a Democratic
Convention in this Congressional
district, they no longer exist. In
view of present developments we
are satisfied the Committee acted
wisely in ordering the call and we
trust it will be promptly and hearth
" responded to by the Democrats
in every county in the district. In
deed, we have assurances that such
will be the case and are quite conf
dent that the Greeneville Conven-
ton will be fully and fairly repre-
sentative Of the wishes of the party.
We have not heard. and trust we
will not hear, Of a disposition any
where to initiate the follies and the
wrongs of our opponents, either in
the primary county meetings or in
the district convention itself That
there will be rivalries for the nomi-
nation is already apparent, and the
fact, itself, is to be set down as one
of the encouraging foretekens ofthe
canvass. We have already reached
a point at which, without regard to
the condition or. movements of the
enemy, it may be truly said that the
Democratic nominee in this district
will not be the leader of a forlorn
hope by any means. With the warn
ing furnishodin the unfraternal cons
duct Of Republican aspirants and
theirsuPporters so freshly and plain
" in view, there seems to be little
need for admonishinS our Demo
cratic friends TO beware of the eaus-
es that led to the Jonesboro disrup-
ton. Let the main Contention in
our county primaries and at Greene
vile be as to how best to promote
the harmony and success Of the par

ing for our respective fa-orites DO
such that we shall become stronger

While the Democrats made hand
some gains throughout the State,
last Thursday, the heavy loss in
Davidson county is significant and
instructive. Davidson ought to
give 4 Democratic majority OF at
least two thousand; and yet the
Democratic nominee for Trustee,
one of the strongest men in the
county, was defeated by the hide
pendents and Republicans, while
the Sheriff escaped by the skin OF
his teeth. So much for the infiu-
ence of exclusive Batcism and Boss
Cherry's little organ.

On the night of July Both a very
full "Cleveland and Hendricks cenA
trail club" was organized in Nash
vile. The call for the club con-
tanned three hundred and thirty sig
natures among which we recognize
the names of many of the very best
and most substantial Democrats of
Nashville, and great many more
names were added at the time of
organization. The club is signifi-
cantly organized "acithsut regard to
State politics" and its name was
adopted in distinction. from the
"Cleveland, Hendricks and Bate
club" previously organized. This
is another Uery loud warning to Bate
to smash the pipes of his wretched-
ly discordant little organ, known as
"Mr. Penitcntiary Cherry's World. f"

contagious and may become cpl
demic if proper sanitary precautions
