One Hundred Years Aec.

"Come up on the 10th of October
next" remarked DIR. G. G. Graham
last fall to the writer at the Louis
vile Exposition; "come up on the
10th of October, 1884, and help one
celebrate my hundredth birthday
and as the grand old man spoke
mis- form grew more erect, while
his eye sparkled with its native
fires. He had just inscribed his
name, without the use Of glasses,
on the Tennessee registry, and
seemed to have no suspicion that he
might not survive another twelve
month. The Louisville Times, of
Thursday, says:
ga rare event in a single life will
be celebrated by an old time dinner
at the Gait House next Friday
week. On that day DIR G. c. Ora
ham, still hale aud hearty citizen
of Louisville, will be one hundred
years old. Three years oder than
the present ''more perfect union
of the states;" he has slept under
the bearskin with Daniel Boone,
hunted deer with Simon Kenton,
seen the states grow from thirteen
with a population of 100000 to
thirty eight with a population of
81, 900, 900; been temporary with ev-
cry president of his country, and
was a guest at the marriage of
Abraham Lincoln's father and
mother"
So the man who was born one
hundred years sgo-the best speci-
men of man we ever met-is still
alive and vigorous, looking like one
who might see another twenty years
at least. He walks ten or fifteen
miles daily on his geological inspec-
tions, and can break down most
men under fifty. He is the father
in-law of the late ex-G Governor Bran
lette, and of Joe Blackburn, of
Kentucky. May his one hundredth
anniversary be most happy event.
with many returns of the day.

APen Sketch of RIafna

Mr.. Blaine not only takes care of
his money, but he takes remarkabIv
good care of himself. His tastes
are very simpie. During his lone
public life he has given and attend,
ed many elaborate dinners, but he
always passed over the rich dishes.
and If he took any wine he never
went beyond a single glass of cham
paign. At home he retires at 8
O'Clock and in Washington at 10 or
IL. He always takes eight or nine
hours sleep. In the matter OF
dress he suits himself. He does
not dress in broadcloth, but wears
business suits. He wears no lew
elry except a pair of gold sleeve
buttons, no ring, no studs, not even
watch and chain. It is well for
Mr.. Blaine that he takes 50 much
sleep and lives on simple diet, be-
cause his days are given to labori-

Our always outspOken and gen
orally correct contemporary, the
Pulaski CITIZEN, says it detests the
railroad commission and believes t
to be the most damaging thing that
has ever been foisted on Tennessee.
1t says it cannot advise any decent
democrat to vote for Savage, yet in
the same breath it protests against
the scratching of any of the rest of
the ticket. We would like TO know
if it is allowable and commendable
for a democrat to scratch the
commission, why it is not just as
right and proper to scratch legis-
lative candidate who pledges him
self to vote for Savage and support
his commission policy.-Banner.
Because the railroad commission
is not all Of the democratic party.
The legislators will be charged with
other and more important duties,
and upon this matter the people
may direct them if they desire.
The continuance or abolishment Of
the commission does not in the
remotest particular affect democra-
cy. 1t is an extraneous question Of
policy and has not the first element
that relates it to party. We would
not feel warranted in scratching q
Legislative nominee because he is
specially named to carry out the
policy of his party and his is po-
litical Office. Time out Of mind
this has been one of the offices that
conventions supervised and it is
understood that nominee is enti-
tied to undivided support; but for
a lot Of men to create an Office for
the benefit Of one man (Savage)
and give the officers unheard-of
powers to modest and oppresS pri-
vate interests, and call such a thing
democracy and because they 30 la
BILE it demand that democrats sup
port it, is so monstrously and out
rageously absurd as to deserve 3
most stupendous, universal scratch.

Take nothing from no thing and
nothing remains. Mr.. Blaine, in a
speech in the house of representa-
tives in January, 1876, in treating
of the sworn statement of a Catho
lie priest, stated in effect that it's
author was southern man, a dem
ocrat and a Catholic priest and that
these qualifications were sufficient
to render him incompetent to testi-
fly fairly. Mr.. Blaine at that time
did not need the Catholic vote so
much as at present. In answer to
an inquiry as to the stand of the
Catholic press in politics, we would
say that a number of Catho-
lie journals do not discuss
American politics. OF those that
do, twentyone support Cleveland,
one advocates Butler, one favors
Blaine and one opposes Cleveland
without supporting Blaine.

Keep it before the people, that

Keep it before the people, that in
1875 Tilden and Hendricks carried

Scratch, Brothers, Scratch!

The cry comes up from all over
the state, from nearly all the pro-
fessed loyal democratic editors, to
scratch the names of Savage, Tur-
ley and Gordon off the ticket on
the 4th of November next. The
Nashville American has come out
on the side of the ''scratchers," and
advises democratic voters to scra tch
the commission candidates off the
ticket. The Nashville World and a
few country papers are contending
for the entire ticket. There is any
thing but harmony and concert OF
action on the part of the leaders
and press of the party. 1t is charg-
ed that Col. Savage was appointed
to the Office of railroad commission
er by Gov. Bate to reconcile the
discordant elements of the party
Gov. Bate said he appointed him
for that purpose.-Ex.

Why Irishmen Support Blame

one exception, there is not a nomi-

The Philadelphia Times (Inde-
pendent) says: eve belive that
Mr.. Blaine is beaten. The popular
tide as developed by the i'm
portant October elections is an
unerring index OF an adverse cur
rent against Blaine and an ad-
verse Blaine tide in the mid
die of October means a Baine Wa
terioo in November. The Ohio
Blaine victory Of death. 1t makes
plain the truth that on the largest
vote ever polled, with the most Law
ish expenditure ever known in any
state, with federal officers called
from their public duties to work for
the party in nearly every precint,
with Blaine leading the battle in ex-
haustive personal effort for a fort
night, and with the prohibition vote
going nearly solid for the Blaine
tickets the thoroughly republican
state of Ohio falls fully one-half be-
low the voluntary majority of
October, 1880, and tWo.thirds below
the Garfield majority. 1t is unerr-
ing index that Ohio, with her over
whelming republican majority for
an acceptable presidential candi-
date, must be fought over and over
and again in November to assure
her electoral vote for Blaine. It
assures Indiana to Cleveland with
out q struggle, and it lis noticed
that Illinois, Michigan and Wis
consin must be contested AS at
least remotely doubtful states. It
is notice to the leaders of the Plum
ed Knight that his battle.henceforth
islagainst fearful gale and tide; that
just when he and his resources
are exhausted the Cleveland leaders
take the field with fresh resources
and growing popular sentiment in
their favor. We believe, therefore,
that Blaine is beaten"

Gus work. He writes like a steam
engine, and it is said that for rapid
writing he has no equal in this
country. He is great reader of
newspapers, history, the old clas-
slcs and the old comedies. With
such habits and tastes Mr.. Blaine
ought to enjoy good health, and it is
probable that he does as a general
thing. He is, however, of an emo

Some one has beautifully written
to the boys in the following man
ner. Here is a sermon in few
sentences: HOf all love affairs in
the world, none can surpass the
true love of the big boy for his
mother. It is a pure love, noble
and honorable in the highest degree
to both. 1 do not mean merely q
dutiful affection. mean a love
which makes q man gallant to his
mother, saying to everybody plainly
that he is fairly in love with her.
Next to the love of q husband, moth
ing 80 crowns q woman's life with
honor as this second love, this devo-
tion of son to her. And / never
knew a boy to turn out bad who
began by falling in love with his
mother. Any man may fall in love
with a fresh faced girl and the man
who is gallant with the girl may
cruelty neglect the worn and weary
wife. But the boy who is lover to
his mother, in her middle age, is q
true knight who will love his wife az
