financial ruin and oppression upon

which has already accumulated four

not find sale even at sixty-fve cents

We are as heartily in favor of tenn
perance reform as any of the men who
are agitating it so vigorously in Ten
nessee. We know that intemperance
has entailed upon humanity countless
woes. We know that it is still spread
ing desolation and misery among the
people of this country. Every proper
means ought to be taken to destroy
its terrible effects. But in our zeal
for the cause OF temperance we should
not become fanatics OH the subject
and be blinded to every other interest
of the country. We have to see that
taxation be reformed, that navy be
built, that mormonism be exterminat-
ed that the civil service be purified,
that the tariff be reduced, and hun
dred other important questions de-
mand the attention OF the President
of the United States. Shall we neg
lect all these great questions and vote
for a man who has but one plank in
his platform, who has expressed nc
opinion about tariff, civil service, NOR
monism and the finance of tie .coun

man solely on a temperance platform
If man runs for President as q TEN

WASHINGTON, August S1.--A prom
inent Ohio republican who arrived
here yesterday says there is no use in
trying to hide the fact that there is a
panic in republican circles in Ohio,
and that unless the panic settles down
the State is sure to go democratic in
October. He says, the thing that is
giving the republicans of Ohio the
greatest trouble is that the State com.
mittee has no money to run the cam
paign, and so far, has been unable tC
raise any, He says the actual truth
is that the committee has not enough
money to pay the postage on the let
tiers and other matter it sends to the
county and district committees. The
leaders of the party have been appeal
ed to but have not yet contributed
anything. He says further that the
republican press of the State, headed by
Murat Halstead, have in the last eight
years said more severe things against
Blaine than the democratic press
Under the circumstances, therefore
he says the people do not regard, The
appeals made now by tho republican
papers in favor Of Blaine as in earnest
and, that if this feeling does not soor
1 change it will be up with Blaine, FOL
the republicans will remain away
from the pAlls.-Bdtim0re Sun.

The Republican party has been
charged with extravaganza and prodi-
gality ever since it came into power.
And it has Rersistently denied the
charge, and proclaimed to the world
policy of economy and reform.
It's platform of 1860, on which, it
came into power, declares "That the
people justly view with alarm the
reckless extravaganza, which per-
suades every department of the FEEDER
al Government; that return to rigid
economy and accountability is indis-
pensable to arrest the systematic plum
der of tho public treasury by favored
partisans while the recent startling
Developments of frauds and corrup-
tons at the Federal metropolis, show
that, an entire change of administra-
ton is imperatively demanded"
This was the inscription upon its
banner when it came into power, and
with it, still floating in the breeze, the
party is arraigned by the Democracy
for all sorts of frauds and swindles anC
jobbery. But it persists in proclaim
ing its innocence. Mr.. Blaine in hi
letter touching civil service, says "Th'
record of fidelity has never been sur
passed in any nation. With the al
most fabulous sums, which were re
. ceived and paid during the late wa
scrupulous integrity was the prevail
ing rule" But Mr.. Blaine seems Il

Yes Mr.. Blaine says they wasted I

Reid Izarping ON she State Debt.

Judge Reid, in the discussion with
Gov. Bate, says the settlement of the
State debt, as affected by the last leg
islature, is disgrace to the State of
Tennessee land he is in favor of re-
opening the question with view of
getting it before the people again.
He is aware that this was the wedge
that split the Democratic party a few
years ago and gave the State to the
Republicans for the brief space of two
years. He is very much concerned
about the honor of the State. But
how does he expect to wipe out the
disgrace? Has he forgotten that the
people voted down a proposition of
Sod bv an overwhelming majority?
and that when Legislature, largely
Republican, attempted to fasten upon
them against their expressed wish, the
infamous l03 settlement with the cou-
pom feature, they refused to submit
and threw it off by an appeal to the
courts? Has he forgotten that the
Hawkins Legislature, elected directly
on this question, voted down a propo-
sition to settle at COG? And has he
forgotten that after all these failures
to settle the debt, the question was
again brought before the people in the
last canvass, and that the last Legisla
ture was elected on the basis of the
present settlement? Now what does
he propose to effect by referring il
again to the people? 50-3 is the high
est figure reached by the people, ant

it out in good faith if let alone.
But if this question is to be contin

Col. o. G. King, the Democratic
nominee for Congress, has been max
ing few speeches in the upper end
of the district preparatory to entering
the campaign. Mr.. King makes
most excellent speech. He has ex-
tensive information on all political
questions, and discusses them in
mastery way. He declares that on
his part this shall be pure canvass,
that no votes shall be bought and no
scandal be told. He spoke, at length,
of the great undeveloped wealth of
this country, and of the necessity Of
the Congressman of the district using
every effort to have our rivers cleaned
and made navigable so that we might
be connected with the great markets
of the nation. He talked about the
need of more railroads in the country,
not to run down the valleys, but rail
roads that would go over the noun
tains where our lead, zinc, coal and
iron lie.
He was opposed to the unjust dis.
ordinations of existing roads. He
thought it great wrong that the
railroads charged the people as much
an q car load of wheat from Bristol tt
Norfolk rs they charge to grain deal
ers of the west on car load that goet
1000 miles.
He dealt protective tariff some hare
blows. He said that the people hat
to pay 60% on their common coats
but if Vanderbilt wanted to bu,
fine silk and velvet he paid only 500
He said that the people of this coun
try paid six dollars upon every ton o
iron sold in this contry, and that thi
, all went into the pockets of tn
t manufacturers. He declare
that in the tariff there G
was an unjust discrimination in favo
monopolies and mentioned in proc
of this assertion, that the tariff on
ton of steel rails is $17, while on
ton of stoves it is $25.
