The Campaign In Ohio.

Ohio is the battlefield now. The
following dispatch from Columbus
is an indication OF what is going on
there:
COLUMBUS, o., Sept, 23.-Repub-
lican State executive committee is
engaged to-day in mapping out a
route for Hon. James G. Blaine's
speaking tour through Ohio about
the close of the present month. The
route has not been completed at this
writing, noon, but glance over the
outline shows that he will visit
large number of towns in the State
and will be i'm Cincinnati Oct. 1st,
and I'd. He will visit Columbus on
his return trip. Arrangements will
be set on foot here to get up great
demonstration on that occasion,
and strenuous effort will be made to
eclipse the blowout of the Democ-
racy on the 18th inst. Hendricks is
the most prominent name mention
ed for the Democratic show, though
many other prominent Democrats
have promised to attend. The pro-
gram includes a grand parade in the
evening and speeches from different
points in State square afterward.
The outlook is that the affair will
assume immense proportions.

HE RIDES ON A PASS.

A correspondent OF the Nashville
American got after Citizen Savage to
know why he travelled over the State
on railroad pass and at the same
time told the people in his speeches
and publications that State officials
who did that sort OF thing were cor
rupt. To this Patriot John replied:
1t is true I travel on free pass, fur
nished by the railroads in accordance
with the 18th and 18th sections of the
Tennessee act of 1883, which awards
free passes to Railroad Commissioners.
How can that be He is enjoined
from discharging any duties of COM
missioner and travels as any other man
would, for his own special grati6ca-
ton. He is no more entitled to use a
pass ON that ground than he is to
draw his salary from the State treas
ury.
But aside from this, the railroads
never complied with the commission
er's demand for passes; they offered
them as a matter of courtesy, but
wouldn't acknowledge the right of the
commissioners to demand them. Ev-
erybody must remember the commu-
nication from ex-Gov. Porter, then
president of the Nashville, ChattanoC-
ga & St. Louis railroad, in that regard.
The pass that Savage travels on is
marked complimentary on its face.
Some people sre disposed to talk
about Hold Johns rugged honesty
How is that for specimen brick?

THERE should be strong and unmis-
taxable statutes against unjust dis
elimination by railroads and the same
should be vigorously enforced. A
commission is not necessary to that
end. The present commission was
meant simply to provide John Savage
& Co. with Office, and that is all it has
accomplished. 1t is no more right
that mandatory commission, author
lied by the State, should take charge
OF railroads and regulate their affairs
than that the same kind Of institution
should control the affairs of merchants
or farmers. The law should give a
remedy for all wrongs, and the courts
should be the means of enforcing it.
A commission with large salaries is
an unnecessary burden ON the tax
payers,

VOTE FOR BATE.

i AT the beginning OF the present
campaign there was much talk of
Democratic disafection in Tennessee
and limitations were made that Gov.
Bate would run behind his ticket.
Such ideas seem to have vanished, and
the generally conceded opinion now is
that he viii be reelected by an in
creased majority, instead of losing
votes.
This is as it should be. Gov. Bate
has filed his Office in creditable
manner and is the unanimous nomi-
nee of the party for reelection. There
is no reason in the world why he
should not receive the full Democratic
vote, including the Sky Blues of the
last campaign.
The Sky Blues commended for prin-
ciple that is not involved in the pres
ent gubernatorialc canvass. So far as the
State debt is now concerned, both Reid
and Bate pledge themselves to main
tenance of the sos settlement. There
has never been any factional opposi-
ton to Gov. Bate personally. He is q
gentleman above reproach and has
always enjoyed very deserved popu-
larity.
That there have been some acts of
the Governors amenable to criticism
we viii not deny, but the executive
never yet filed Office who pleased ev-
erybody. He is not responsible for
the doings of certain Objectionable
cliques and parties who champion his
cause and arrogate to themselves all
that is sound in Democracy.
1t would be as much of a calamity
now as ever for Republicanism to
triumph in Tennessee. There are
few respectable white men in that par
ty in this State, and the bulk of the
organization is still made up of igno-
rant negroes and unprincipled Office
seekers. Houk and Sam McElwee
are fair representatives of the Repub-
lican party in Tennessee, and it is only
necessary to allude to their mutual
accusations OF bribery at the Chicago
convention to tell what sort of men
they are. The only difference between
them is that Sam is black as the ace
of spades, both inside and out, and
Houk has a white skin. The Repub-
lican party in Tennessee in no way
represents the intelligent property
holding class, and ON that account, il
no other, should not be intrusted with
power.
We look for Bates election by
$4,000 majority. He has made an ex-
cellent canvass, gaining votes in East
Tennessee and proving more than a
match for his opponent everywhere.
Let all good Democrats turn out in
November and vote for him.

THE BoLrINd BOSS
MANCHESTER Times.

The Nashville World claims to
be the leading Democratic journal
Of this state, and abuses ali papers
which refuse to bow the knee to
the unconstitutional railway COM
mission. It accuses those papers
which do not agree with 1t of being
in tho pay of railroads. OF course
no one believes what the World
says, as its absurd utterances are
too familiar to the public for any
importance to be attached to them.
The World has a great deal tci say
about voting for and supporting
the nominees of the Democratic
party, yet it refuses Cor at least has
failed) to place among the names OF
the men. il supports the Democratic
nominees for the state legislature in
Davidson county. The World can
not expect to be recognized as a
Democratic journal until it gives a
hearty support to the nominees OF
the Democratic party.

The Electors.

The Presidential electors for this
congressional district, J. w. Judd,
Democrat, and w. G. Brien, Re-
publican, addressed the people in
the Court House Monday. Mr..
Judd made close argument Clefin-
ing Democratic principles as distin-
guished from those which the Re-
publican party processes. He ar
raigned the Republicans fox their
corrupt record, gave close attention
to the Mulligan letters and showed
up the tattooed statesman in his
true colors. In regard to the tariff,
he said he really didn't deem 1t an
issue in the present canvass. The
fight was to turn out a corrupt or
ganization that had too long held
the reins OF government, and to de-
feat the unclean candidate who was
offered by that organization for the
Presidency. But for fear that some
over-zealous Democrat would say
that he was not properly presenting
the cause of the party he would
state that he abhorred the uncon-
stitutional Republican doctrine OF
protection for protection's sake, but
believed in Discrimination within
the revenue limit. The Democrat
ic platform expressed the amount
of protection necessary for Ameri-
can labor.
Mr.. Brien is young lawyer Of
Nashville, and is somewhat nervous
and fresh. He had the disadvan-
tage OF speaking to a hungry crowd
and a great many of the audience
went to dinner who would have
been glad to hear him through. He
begun with an anecdote rather
stale and decidedly vulgar. The
bulk of his discourse was on the
tariff question, holding up the Re-
publican party as the champion of
protection. His attempt to make
the Blair educational bill Repub-
lican measure could not have been
otherwise than ridiculous, as the
measure was voted for by a number
of leading Democratic Senators and
opposed by some of the other party.
Mr.. Brien is a very pleasant young
gentleman and we hope he will ac-
quire some experience in this can
vass that will be useful to him.

CARL SEIZURE said in an intervie

CARL SCHURZ SAID IN an interview
with the Cincinnati Post Monday:
l think the Germans will be largely
influenced in their action by the ques-
ton of the official integrity of the cam
didates. The German people have
very fixed views in favor OF honesty,
and cannot be deceived by explana-
tons or excuses. If the election was
held to-day Wisconsin, Illinois and
Michigan would vote for Cleveland.
Seventy per cent. of the Illinois Re-
publicans would vote for him. / think
the defeat of Blaine public necessity.
For that reason | think every man
who desires an honest national admin
istration should vote for Newman for
Secretary of State, as the Ohio vote in
October will be taken as a declaration
of the sentiment of the State ON ma
tional issues, by other sections of the
country. If Newman should be elect
ed in October it would practically set
tie the contest, as l think Wisconsin,
Illinois and Michigan would then cast
their electoral votes against Blaine"

POINTS TO CONSIDER.
Gallatin Examiner.

The law creating a Railroad Com
mission has been declared unconsti-
tutiOnal and void by the courts. Its
operation is stopped. 1t is as though
no law had ever been passed. The
commissioners have appealed to the
United States Supreme Court. Ev-
cry fair presumption is that the de-
cision of the inferior court will be
sustained. The best lawyers so say.
But it may be five or more years
before the case may be reached. II
the present commission be elected
and the superior court sustains them,
they will draw for SIX years pay
thirty or forty thousand dollars) for
doing nothing. This pay will come
out Of the pockets OF the Taxpayers
OF Tennessee. The best way in
which to dispose of the matter will
be for the people to express their
disapproval of the whole business,
and then the next Legislature, if it
ahevs their will, viii repeal the law
which il so expensive and so inca
pablo Of good.

Death of Distinguished Journalist.

Col. Frederick s. Nichols, editor
in chief of the Memphis Avalanche,
died Tuesday morning at Daven-
port, Ia, of paralysis of the brain.
The sad event was entirely unex.
pected, and the shock was ON that
account more poignant to his many
friends. His life had been very
checkered one. Being born on a
farm in. Iowa, he became successive-
ly a printer, Ejournalist, a gold
digger in Australia and sailor who
visited all the distant countries OF
the earth. Returning to America
be again began to work at the art
preservative. During the great yell
low fever epidemic of 1873 he be-
came editor OF the Avalanche and
at once made a reputation as a
pointed and pungent paragrapher.
His capacity for condencing a strong
argument into few lines was UNI
surpassed, and his writing was
characterized by a uniqueness Of
style that gave it relish. His hon.
esty of purpose and fearless express
ion of the truth were qualities that
caused him to be much admired.
He will be sadly missed from the
ranks Of Southern journalists.

Tennessee's resources arev very great.
There are nowhere mountains and
hills OF more grandeur and value, no.
where streams of more beauty and
power, nowhere forests more charm
ing and varied, nowhere valleys and
plains more lovely and fruitful, no.
where a climate more genial and
nourishing. With ample arteries of
commerce our State would lead the
van in all that makes life worth the
cost of living. Therefore we would
urge the people to be just to the rail
roads, to encourage railroad build
ing, to cultivate good feeling with
railroad managers and people. Sub
NIT to no wrong, but be sure that
GU commit none under the leader
ship of demagOgues and those whose
lives are spent in agitations and in
creating and filling offices.
