AN OPEN LETTER
To Gen. J. Floyd King and Hon. c. J.
Boatner.

MONROE, La, Oct. 1.-The fol.
lowing compromise of political diff
ferences in the Fifth District, has
been proposed here to-day. ..
In common with every good citi-
zen we cannot but deplore the re-
suits of the late congressional con-
vention as creating present confus-
ion in the party, seriously lmperll,,
ing the interest of the National
Democratic ticket and entailing on
the party in the District a bitterness
which may result in its permanent
disruption. We in common with
many other democrats in this Dis
trict, have labored too earnestly
and long for the success Of Demo-
cratic principles and against Radi-
cal misrule TO submit to the inevi-
table results of the late convention,
without doing all in our power to
restore harmony. 1t is now very
late, but since no one else will act
and no one appears to be authorized
+ to act, we, as friends of Gen. King
and Mr.. Boatner, and of the party,
in the order of our names, have as
sumed the right to offer the follow
ing at this late hour, with the car
nest hope that good may result:
: We respectfully ask Messrs. King
, and Boatner each to signify in 9
. public manner at once their approx.
al hereof, and in the meantime thai
the people in the several parishes
of the district meet before the
4 twelfth instant and instruct theil
/ delegates to the late congressional
b convention on all issues which hav,
heretofore divided them, or which
i are likely to arise other than thei
choice Of candidates. That TIT
o delegates accredited to the late con
5 vention, whether in person or 9th
"a erwise, meet in convention a
Monroe OH Tuesday, the 18th inst.
at 1 pm, and proceed to the sc
lection Of a candidate for the Dem
ocratic party at the approaching
. election.
q Finally, we urge every tru
e patriot in the district to ignore tn
h recent past as well as all persons
considerations, and actively assis
in harmonizing the party differ
ences and saving it from permaner
disruption, and the country frol
all those terrible evils which Wi
:. be the inevitable result of the pre-:
II ent disorder"

he went into the muck and mire OF

out badly disfgured. The negro
was for Blaine and the negro receiv-

he received l35. His name when
mentioned in the convention was
roundly Kissed, and the announce
ment that he was not to be even an
alternate excited hearty and deris-

cred man of Plainfield, received the
nomination by more than two

The defense's theory was that he

Pulaski Citizen : The Morris

Pulaski Citizen The MORRIS
TOWN GAZETTE names Col. A. S.
Colyar for governor, and the Chat
tanooga Times objects to burying
such a man in that place and says
it holds him in reserve for U. S.
Senator. Col. Colyar is confessed
ly one of the ablest men in the whele
country. He has sxsmplified the
perfection of consistency in politics.
1t is the rule among public men and
newspapers to pretend that all their
opinions consist and they will not
fall into a new or improved theory,
be it ever so right, unless they can
warp their previous expressions
around to suit. Doak broke that
fossil rule first in Tennessee. He
had an opinion (and a good one) on
any subject to suit the times and
changed circumstances, and he
spurned the consistency" idea. If
Celyar has not been exactly con-
sistent, he has been at least nearly
right. 1t takes a brave man, in
these times of demagogues and
Hdear people" slobberers, to have an
opinion that seems to contradict
what he once thought.

And in a few years we might haye
good roads leading from all our de-
pots.
Now, nothing short of crushed
stone win meet the ease. Many
thousands of dollars worth of time
were spent on the roads of Hamblen
county in 1888. The same has been
done every year, for many years
past. And yet our reads never
were so bad as during the past win
ter. This demonstrates the folly OF
our present course of conduct.
Yet the same thing is to be re-
peated with the same result, unless
there is something done by our pee
pie to wake up the county court.
What shall be done?
suggest that prominent men,
take hold of the matter now,-get
up petitions to the court,-let the
tax payers sign these petitions by

ut this time, in our opinion, the
political straws coming frsm differ
ent State conventions show Blaine
to be largely in the lead for the Chi
cago nomination. Arthur comes
next, probably, though the tide in
the central and rural districts of
New York seems to be setting adj
verse to him. Logan stands but a
poor showing unless n calamity hap
pens TO Lincoln prior to the meeting
Of the Convention. That Lincoln is
the strongest man for the tail ofthe
ticket is very clearly indicated. The
future may show a different result,
but our prediction is that Blaine and
Lincoln will be the nominees of the
Republicans. AS TO tho Democratic
ticket, Mr.. Tilden is evidently by
far the choice Of the masses. West
Virginia hasinstructed her delegates
10 Chicago TO vote Tor him, and from
all the States there is more or less
clamOr for him. From interviews
with Mr.. Tilden, one hardly knows
whether, under any circumstances,
he would consent TO again head the
Democratic ticket. Mr.. Tilden has
the love and respect Of his party
not manifested toward Mr.. Hon.
bricks, and it j. 10 be hoped ii he
is rendered tho nomination and ae-
ccpts il that another name will DO
substituted for that Of Mr.. Hen
bricks This is due alike to Mr..
Tilden and TO the Democratic party.
Tilden and Mcdonald would be a
strong ticket, but PAYNE and Flower
would be a stronger and surer
winning one.
