East Tennessee Politics.

You people OF Middle and West Ten
nesssee must not forget that in East
Tennessee we have whole forests Of
gubernatorial timber-primeyel foestr
all untouched, and in the gubernato-
rial tree the sap is always up. Did it
ever strike you that the First Con-
gressional District was the veritable
nose of the State? Well, it is. Go
look at it on the map. Wedged in
between Virginia and North Carolina
it makes the State look like q shoat
trying to reach the swill trough. 1t
points almost directly for Washington
d. c. Ii there is anything in the
wind the First District is first to nose
it. Is it strange, then that you find
the gentlemen up there in the natural
nasal projection shifting the guberna.
torial nominations The fact is, they
have tried so many good offices they
should not be allowed a smell in the
next convention. However, the pa.
triotism of these gentlemen up there
is proverbial. II they can't have the
nomination for governor, two Of the
Supreme Judges will satisfy them.
Judge Sam Kirkpatrick, Chancellor
st. John, Judge Bill Haynes and chic
Justice Deaderick have all been men

The two chief shreikers among the
bowling Republican dervishes who
are now spinning themselves dizzy in
frenzy against the South, are John
Sherman and George Frisbie Hoar
They are the loudest of the reaction
lists who are groaning at imaginary
frauds and offences against the suf-
frage which they charge upon the
Democratic party in the South.
Cast iron is putty compared with
the cheek of these two Republicans.
John Sherman was an accomplice in
that monstrous crime against free suf-
frage and free government which
forced a Fraudulent President upon
the United States, and the Treasury
was John Sherman's share Of thep ro-
ceeds, the reward for his completely
in that crime.
George Frisbie Hoar was a member
of the Electoral Commission which by
his vote and the votes OF his Repub-
lican associates refused even to notice
and inquire into the palpable and no
torious frauds by which the will of the
people in three Southern States was
set aside by scoundrels whom the Re
publican party at the North encour
aged and abetted, and afterwards re-
warded. Hoar had been to Louisi
ana ON Congress committee Of in
vestigation, and he knew well enough
what villainies the Republicans o
that State were capable Of. He shu
his eyes to fraud, he would hear nj
evidence of it, he assisted in its tri
umph, and took the Federal patron
age in Massachusetts, for part of hi
reward.
And now these men whose name
are sullied by their share in that in
fanny have the impudence to prat
about frauds and to demand that tn
right Of suffrage shall be respected

AN INTERESTING STORY.


Miss Minnie Wallace resides with Mrs. George
Fickland, Al McAfee Street, Atlanta, Ga, and
from her own lips Constitution reporter learn
cd the following appalling story:
seAeral months ago she became almost total
ly blind and deaf and could not taste anything
except salt. Her bones became the seat OF
intense pain, her joints were swollen and pain
full, and eventually her whole body and limbs
became covered with splotches ard small sores
Her appetite failed, and she gradually lost flesh
and strength and had but little use of herself as
her limbs and muscles were paralyzed. She, .:
well as her friends and those with whom she
lived, desdaired other recovery. Her suffering'
combined with loss Of hearing and taste, and
Blindness, were truly heartrending
All treatment from physicians and the use o.
medicines seemed powerless. Her disease wal
blood poison ana rheumatism.
As she now seemed well and hearty the repor
ter asked what wrought such wonderful
change.
Il used medicine recommended by friend
she replied, "And sbefore one bottle had beer
taken began to see and hear. The second bot
tie relieved all rheumatic pains and improved
my appetite. When had completed the use o
six bottles my syeshght and hearing were full,
restored, sense Of taste returned, all splotche'
disappeared, sores all healed, and my strength
and hesh restored. now feel as well as eve
did, and my friends. well as myself, are astound

The Next supreme Court.

The newspapers are discussing the
possibilities and probabilities, as to
membership, of the next Supreme
Court OF Tennessee. The names
most prominently mentioned from
the Eastern Division are Judges ]. B.
Cook and D. L. Snodgrass, of Chatta.
nooga, p B. Mayfeld, OF Cleveland,
II. H. Ingorsoll, of Knoxville, J. T.
Shields, of Granger county, ]. G.
Rose, of Morristown, S. J. Kirkpatrick,
of Jonesboro, and Col. w. d. Haynes,
Of Blountville. Chief Justice Dead
erick's name is frequently mentioned,
but we are informed he will not be a
candidate for reelection. Every one
OF the gentlemen mentioned are able
lawyers, but as East Tennessee cannot
hope to get but two, and perhaps only
one Of the five judges, we have to ex-
press our preferences with more def
. niteness. The first choice OF THE
COMET, therefore, is Hon. S. J. Kirk
patrick, OF Washington county We
ought to be for him because he is oul
county man, but aside from this We
know that his great legal learning fit
him for the position. AS a member
Of the Referee Court for two years, HI
was careful, painstaking and thorough
in the examination Of causes, and hi
written opinions give evidence tina
he has q trained, judicial mind of {
high order. 1t is no disparagemen
OF the other distinguished members o
the Referee Court, to say that fewe
OF Judge Kirkpatrick,s opinions wer'
reversed by the Supreme Court, thar
those OF the other Referees, but sucl
is the fact. He is now in the prim
OF vigorous manhood, and is physical
ly able to do what Supreme Judg
will have to endure-many years G
hard work. We are glad his pros
poets for the nomination by the Dem
ocratic convention are fattering.

Johnson City, Tenn. Sept, II. 1885


The Herald & Tribune thinks we
made lame denial for Hon. Jno. AL
lison, OF the charges preferred against
him. The denial be may lame, but is
certainly pointed, and we may say
sharp pointed. The H & T charges
Mr. Allison with sending Little jim
Harris, MS it terms him, to Washing
ton with a message to the Democratic
leaders to hurry up the appointment
OF new medical board, and have
none but Democrats appointed
and have them instructed to coerce
Union Soldiers into voting the Demo
cratic ticket by threatening to report
against their applications for pensions.
Mr., Allison says the charge is "com-
mon lie" but the II & T don't think
this denial as specific enough. Per-
haps it wants Mr., Allison to say it is
nm uncommon lie" AS the II e. T
says "Mr, Allison is a lawyer" and Of
course knows, as everybody else ought
to know, that his simple denial shifts
the burden OF proof on that paper to
make good its allegations by "sworn
and circumstantial statements" This
it has not done, and we are authorized
to say, cannot do.
The II &: Tdeclares that letters from
distinguished and well known gem

charges. That is refreshing, indeed

Maybe it is the Mexican War that
John Sherman has in mind.

Senator Sherman may be big enough
to paint the entire State of Ohio red
and yet find that his stock of paint is
not large enough for doing the same
thing for the whole country.
If Governor Hoadly continues the
work of replying to Senator Sherman
and improves at each new trial, it ie
not at all improbable that the people
of Ohio may conclude that he is just
about the size of q man they want for
Senator.
The Armstrong-Stead abduction
case is dragging its slow course
