THE CRACK OF THE WHIP.
From the RashVi..s kslerscsn.

There is a manifest nervous any
iety Oh the part of certain gentle
pen aspiring TO Democratic leader
ship ia Tennessee to anticipate the
voice of the State Convention by
drumming up the recruits or fac
ton and urging them to seize upon
the primaries and secure "the right
mem on tho delegations from the
counties. By "the right men !"
is meant that noisy minority
who echo the blatant nonsense of
theorists who hug the delusicn that
the Democratic party can be rushed
pell- mell Into the impraeticable fol-
ly of free trade and horizontal tariff
experiments.
Thus far tho american has net
officicusly rendered advice to the
members of its party as to the char
acter of Democracy to be chosen to
the State Convention. It does not
propose now to take part in any
scramble co utterly destructive of
that moderation and harmony upon
which the very life and existence of
the party in this State hangs. But
Il ehall not withhold its protest
against reckless and unFighteous
schemes to pack tho State Conven- /
lions with a view 10 securing this or :
hat tariff complexion In the State
Convention, or the delegation which /
I selects q represent Tennessee

The Democrats of Tenne ssee do not

advance of further action that pro

dozed by silly talk like the above,
nor can they be driven by . lot of

sound upon the most vital political

that party of New York capitalists
left Charleston, Bradley county,
Tenn, the morning fthe Both on
prospecting tour through the So
called gold region of East Tennes-
see The party is in charge of a
gentleman who is familiar with ev-
cry foot of land where gold has been
discovered The party will visit
the gold region contiguous to Coco
creek and other points. They will
make thorough investigation, and
if the outlook .iustifies, propose to
invest and work the mines on an
extensive scale. A well informed
mining engineer, who has lived in
this country for years, said to a
Times reporter that gold exists in
untold quantities in the mountains
of East Tennessee, and he had an
abiding confidence that the day
would yet come when the mines
would yield fabulous wealth.

RANDALL AND WHY
NcTP

Stranger things and worse things
have happened in modern politics,
than the nomination of Randall and
Carlisle As the Democratic presiden-
tial ticket, by the Chicago conven-
ton. We have seen no suggestion
of such n combination, nor il its
probability now apparent, though
that Is no reason why it may not
soon become 80. The very fact that
the two msn-bOth acknowledged
Demserats of commanding ability
and wOrth-arc Just now the rsceS-
nized representatives of the two
cOntending elements in the Demo
cratic party, will very probably soon
render the suggested combination
absolutely necessary to Democratic
success. It is manifest that a thor
OHgh and hearty union of all the
Democratic forces will be required
to give even a hope of victory.
GrAver difficulties than those now
disturbing Democratic unity have,
in times past, been temporarily rec
sneiled or indefinitely postponed foS
the sake Of the party and the soua-
try. In 1876, the preliminary can
vaas for the Democratic nomination
was a most bitter enc, far exceeding
in intensity the one now in progress
or likely to occur before the July
convention. Whom the Convention
met in St. Louis, in 1876, the Tilden
and Hendricks factions seemed alb
solutely irreconeilable; and yet, by
n mastSr-strske Of policy, which APP
Peared TO come as by inspiration,
All the elements Of the party werO
brought into closer unisn than ever
before, in the nomination Of both
Iildsn and Hendricks. The ticket

The Grand Lodge of Sons of
Temperance of the State of TenEes-
see met in Athens, on Thursday the
24th inst. There was not a large
attendance of representatives from
subordinate lodges, it being only
quarterly meeting of the Grand
Lodge. On Friday, the 18th, there
was a procession followed by public
addresses. The most notable event
of the occasion was the lecture on
Thursday night and address on Fri
day of Mrs. Elizabeth l.. Saxon, a
representative of the Women's
Christian Temperance Union, of
whom the PUSt says "She is the
most thoroughly accomplished fe-
male speaker we ever heard, and
delivers her remarks with wonder
full power and effect, treating the
subject in hand with all the skill of
a well ordered, well-stored mind,
and fastening her convictions right
where she uttePs them by facts that
are indisputable. Mrs. $. is practi
cal as she is dignified and graceful,
and occupying the highest social
position, she commands the respect
of all by her sweet wsmanly charity
for the unfortunate in every cOndi-
ton of life. She is proud TO say
that hers is a lance which owns no
but God; and she braveiy
pushes the fight against intemper-
ance as q true humanitarian, vIgor-
Ously combating the woes of her
sex, for, after all, il is the women of
the land who suffer most through
the designations of men. She Is a
noble, christian woman, whose visit
to Athens will be long remembered
by our people, and whose efforts in
he place were SO fruitful of good"
We hope to see and hear Mrs. Sax
,n in Morristown.
