TENNESSEE DEMOCRACY,
Some OF our exchanges seem very
much concerned about the success Of
the democratic party in Tennessee III
the next election, and have used The
argument that the sQccazs Of the party
was being impcliicd ii order 10 Pre-
vent the carrying out Of its policies.
ANY casual observer can see that the
papers which have rot gigen the
party their unqualified support for
! several years, and have been kicking
about everything that was done and
scratching the ticket, are the very
oles which are now 50 very sulIcltlous
about It's success. Take the Memphis
| Appeal for instances that paper has
always been IN line with the party II
| Tennessee and has never been known
to Scratch" 1t has justly earned the
appellation Of ''the Old reliable and
we find it us;ag this language in
speaking OF the Tennessee denocaocy.
| "TheRepublicans and their allies.
| FIR purposes as well known TO Others
as to themselves, are industri"uslY
seeking to create and cultivate the
| impression before the country that the
Democracy Of Tennessee IS hopelessly
divided into the Harris party and the
Jackson party, the Porter party and
Whitthorne party, the Colyar and the
Vertress party, the machine party
has possession Of the organization
, and the other machine party
which is striving to get possession Of
the organization. These dIyissoui
are imaginary, and tile mischief max
ers viii discover in the end that tht
Democracy Of Tennessee cannot b,
: divided into sach petty factions"
Ihe Appeal is known to be true t.
the democratic party and the peopl,
? Of Tennessee, and if il 1in1s that III
views upon all the issues are no
adopted by the party in its aggregated
wisdom, It has enough Of true democ
b racY IN lis makeup and yield lis Owl
individual opinions and 10 bow 10 th
united Judgment Of the majority
THIS is not Il SURRENDERED principle
f and any man claiming to be demo
crat, who is unwilling to acquiesce II
the will Of the majority Of his party /
= all matters Of party policy, is wantin
II in tho essential elements of a tru
democrat and has no place in tina
party. II these papers who are ap
j parentiy SO much conc, rncd abou
v democratic success are really 81
why are they not Willing
to do as the Appeal has always done
II and when the policy OF the party
z. announced through its connection
fall into line and work for til
success Of the ticket That is II
way and the only sure pay Of ACHE
n ing success-if they are unwilling
ID yield their individual opinions npo
re matters Of mere party policy in ordC
De to insure its success, may not dcm'
Gratis who are wiling to make sacrifice
to that end. properly doubt the SIT
rs ccrity Of their professions and as
y themselves the question as 10 wheth'
y they arc prompted by a desire Of pr
mote the success Of the party wht
:, they are continually saying "that
!. this measure IS not abandoned Il
- narty will suffer" and, If this neasu.
20 is not adopted the party viii be d
fealed," or whether they are simp
using the argument in order 10 car
ell forward their pet schemes and ca.
ed nothing Of the effect. SO far IS the d
lis nocracy is concerned?
m NC don't wish to be understood
al impueuing any body'5 NOTICES, b
il does seem to ia that if their pJrpc
is to insure party success, they have
by poor idea Of what are the proper mea
,st to accomplish their object. The on
NJ objections which we nave to the TIE
OF ucssee democracy is, that 1t has t
st many ''smart' men mat. 1.-THE gra

On the waves Of republicism, it VIII

friends. She has nothing to fear frl
her open enemies.
