Clarksville weekly chronicle. (Clarksville, Tenn.) 1873-1890, 1884-10-25
CAMPAIGN POINTERS.

The Blaine circus has been exhibit
ing in Indiana this week.
The New York typographical I'M
| ion has declared for Cleveland.
A very interesting sketch of our
popular Governor will be found on the
first page of this paper.
Although Newman was defeated he
poled a larger vote than was ever cast
for Democratic candidate in Ohio
before.
The result of the Presidential cleo
ton centres on New York, and every
indication points to the conclusion
that Cleveland will carry it.
Remember, dear voter, that the rail-
road commission is a side issue and
the way you cast your ballot in that
regard won't indicate your politics.
A very interesting question very
generally propounded just now is:
Will John Sherman ask for commit
tee to investigate the Cincinnati cleo
ton?
Frank Hurd, the free trader, run a
long ways behind his ticket and
though the Democrats carried his dis
trict for their State candidates he was
beaten.
John Kelley, in his talk with the
next President last week, said: Gov.
Cleveland, Tammany Hall will give
yov $4,000 votes, no matter what other
men tell you"
Contrary to all expectations both
the Prohibitionist and the Greenback
Labor party increased their vote in
Ohio. The formers vote will reach
$500 and the latter $500.
Some of the Savage crowd think the
election of old John more important
than that of Cleveland, and advise the
scratching of Democratic electors who
don't favor a commission. ..
Cincinnati Post: The stampede dur
ing the last few days of colored men
from here to Indiana indicates that
there is to be a convention of colored
Odd-fellows over there in the early
future.
Old John Savage is turning some of
the venom he has so long poured out
on railroads on the newspapers, and
will no doubt be asking the next Leg
islature to give him power to regulate
the Tennessee press.
There are no such officers in Ten
nessee as Railroad Commissioners.
The law creating the concern has been
declared unconstitutional. Savage,
Gordon and Turley. are running for
salaries. Scratch 'em.
Vote the ticket at the CHRONICLES
masthead. 1t includes all the DEM
ocratic nominees sfrom President OF
the United States to legislative candi-
dates. That is all it takes to consti-
tute good Democratic ticket.
Can some political prophet guess
what the test of Democratic tealty
will be in Tennessee next year accord
ing to Ring measurement 1t is a
very uncertain quantity that it will
take a shrewd fellow to find out.
Mayor Carter Harrison has served
notice on the United States Marshall
at Chicago that that city will not toll
crate any Powell Clayton negro des-
perado tactics on election day. and i
vigilance committee has been appoint
ed to prevent IT. It's well.
Cincinnati Post: IfJohnny Mclean
had not proved traitor and had work
ed in his end of the State like Coal |
Oil Oliver Payne did at Cleveland, the
Ohio Democrats would now be rejoic-
ing over victory on the State ticket
and the election of two more Con-
gressmen.
The temperature will probably be
frigid when a Democratic House
makes an appropriation to pay off
Powell Clayton's army of United
States Marshalls and to foot the I'LL
Tor the munitions of war furnished
hat band of bulldozers. J
