Clarksville weekly chronicle. (Clarksville, Tenn.) 1873-1890, 1884-10-11

A Republican scheme Tor colon
izing hundreds of negro voters in Gins
cinnati prior to the election has been
detected.
CouIier-Journal: Each successive
job which Is revealed on Mr.. Blaine
rivals each successive falsehood which
he tells to excuse himself, and it is nip
and tuck which are the most iniqui-
tous, the lies or the jobs.
Mr.. John J. Vertrees having failed
to convince the courts of thelegality of
| the Tennessee railroad commission, is
now submitting the law on that sub
jet to the people. For what did the
people create the courts? 'R
The thing goes under misnomer.
1t is not @the Railroad Commits ques-
tion;" no railroad COMMISSION is al
lowed to act in this state. Its proper
appelation is the Savage & Co. pension
scheme. 1f Hofi
The Tribune and Sun tersely asserts
ACleveland's record is popular" Broth
er Enloe has had some experience in
politics and he doubtless knows what
it takes to put man in favor with the
people.
1t was @cold day" for the Blaine
circus at Newark, Ohio, Saturday. The
magnetic candidate didn't magnetic
and number of boys run along by
the side of his carriage shouting
"Hurrah! for Cleveland"
The Blaine show at the Cincinnati
exposition was failure. 1t only drew
eighteen thousand visitors, and more
than that number has been registered
there several days when there was no
special attraction. The managers con-
fidently counted on $4,000. fa' ga.
There is one little question which
we would be glad to have the Clarks-
vile Democrat, or any paper or per-
son that says a man is no Democrat
unless he favors a railroad commits
sion, answer us. What party establish
ed railroad commissions in Illinois
and Iowa?
My dear Mr.. Vertrees: Whether
or not it is desirable or proper for the
State OF Tennessee to continue the
Savage pension scheme is matter
about which men are going to think
and act for themselves. You can't
drive the people to its support by de-
claring it "a Democratic measure"
We don't mean any insinuation
whatever, but we wish to remark that
Mr. Cherry, Mr.. John J. Vertrees and
the Nashville World, which three are
practically one, have a strong and abb
ding love for Messrs. Savage, Gordon
and Turley, who are also practically
one.
The Chicago News puts the case
very tersely when it says: Blaine
has added talsehood in 1884 to his
youthful indiscretion of 1850. The
people may forgive the indiscretion as
bygone, but audacious falsehood,
warm on the lips today, is not a rec
ommendation for the presidency"
The drummers have nominated Joe
Mulhatton for president in hopes that
his fine points as liar may be shown
up by the side of Blaineis efficiency in
that line. 1t is no go. The Repubi-
can candidate is a sun that has risen
and such bright particular stars as
Tom Ochiltree, ElRerkins and even
the renowned Joseph, must pale out
OF existence.
Cincinnati Post: The Liquor Deal
ers State Association, the members OF
which are oath-bound to vote with the
majority, has tabooed the whole Re
publican State and Congressional tick
cts. Thus it is seen that the liquor
interests of the State are practically
solid for the Democratic ticket in the
October election. This means a great
many votes. and a very large campaign
fund. f.a -4a - tH aE
Blaine's latest lie (that is the latest
up to time of going to press) was that
he had never had any interest in the
Hooking Valley mines in Ohio. He
made flat denial of the fact and then
the Democrats proceeded to produce
his letters bargaining for the interest
in the mines, a copy of the receipt for
the money he paid for it, and of the
certificate of the $4,000 in stock he
received. u af- -nt e. H#s5. .Ins
The Nashville World informed the
Lebanon Register that it was not prop
erly representing the Democracy of
its section, whereupon the Register
replied: "The Democracy of Wilson
county have on hand sufficiency of
grace to enable them to bear with the
Register, but the limited number of |
subscriptions to the World evidences
the fact that they cannot Stomach" |
that demagogical sheet. We believe
that four copies of the daily come to
Lebanon, and two of these are exchan-
ges.
Our esteemed contemporary, the
Democrat, is very much exercised
over the CHRONICLES Democracy.
You can fix our political status from
what we say, dear neighbor. We
make no concealment and always speak
right out in meetin' as to what we
favor and don't favor. If the position
we take don't come up to youlr esti-
mate of Democratic paper we have
simply to say that we don't care a
if it don't We have new
er made your estimate of our politics
a matter of any concern and we don't
intend to.
