fire flaming in one corner Of the car

ton. The local questions that have
divided Tennessee Democrats should
in no way be considered. We will
not oppose candidate for Supreme
Judge because he has differed with us
on any of these questions.
But we seriously object to the ma
chine manipulating the convention at
its pleasure. 6, The machine wishes to
fill the bench with a set of men who
will be its tools and who will render
decisions at the dictates of its organ.
1t is to this end that the American
has sprung the one convention idea.
One convention, and such one as
is assembled for general political pur-
poses, will be more easily controlled
and more apt to do its bidding.
The Chronicle will fight the one
convention idea as it fights everything
in which the machine displays its
cloven foot. We contend for the old
way and the good way and all we
look to is the interest of the State and
the people thereof.

so, and have spent, among the peo-
pie of Warren county, one of the
most pleasant summers of my life.

pitable treatment l invariably re-
ceived from all whom l have met.
Hospitality to strangers seems to be
a distinguishing mark of the South
ern people. The treatment accorded
me on every hand, and that accorded
the numerous Northerners visiting
this section, since my arrival here is
sufficient evidence to me that the
citizens here are sincere in their oft
repeated desire that people from the
North, East and West shall come and
settle here, improve the idle lands
and aid in the development of the
country by the introduction and ex-
change of new ideas. tits evident to
me that in this part Of the South at
least, "Banquo's Ghost" is down and
down to stay. There are thousands
of poor men in the North, who, as
Mr.. Haskin says, would come South
to seek homes if they could be assured
of this. Four months of daily ming
ling with the Southern people, in the
home, the field and workshops salts
fies me that any who come and are
respectful to all, as would be expected
of them in the North, will be respect

Under the above caption there APP
peared a few weeks ago letters from
Mr.. Geo. Haskin, of Oscoda, Mich.
Being a native and citizen of Michi-
gan / became somewhat interested in
the matters under discussion. Like
Mr.. Haskin | had before coming
South entertained ideas similar to
those set forth in his letters. 1t may
seem strange to Southern people that
many in the North have the idea that
by coming South they will certainly
be socially and politically ostracized
and in many cases exposed to person
al violence on account of their adher-
ence to the politics of the Republican
party. To those who know of the
teachings daily instilled into the
minds of the Northern people by po-
litical organs and by politicians, such
a condition of things seems perfectly
proper. Thus are the masses of the
North and Of the South abused in
theirs minds regarding the state Of
feeling existing between these two
sections. Doubtless acts of violence
may have been committed by citi
zens in some sections of the South
against Northern people, and likely OF
account of political utilization. But

McMinnville, Aug. 81, 1885.
In grain there is no impr Ovement.
Wheat lower and in less demand.
Corn unchanged.
Dried fruit has made no improve
ment, and there is no demand for
any kind except at very low prices.
Sun dried apples are generally dark
and inferior, and were selling in st.
Louis a few days ago at u to &c per
pound. Evaporated apples, if nice,
are in better demand, and will proba-
bly, further improve later in the sea-
son. We look for better demand and
better prices before December for all
kinds of dried fruit, but of course no
one can tell. .u.
Peaches will be in demand and
should all be dried. Half peaches are
always worth cent more than quar-
tiers, and should be cut in halves.
Don't mix halves and quarters.
Mixed sell as quarters. Keep them
separate and dry them thoroughly.
Blackberries are very quiet and in
less demand than we have known
them for years. The crop is large,
and on account of low prices of other
kinds of dried fruit, the price islower.
The provision market has not i'm
proved. All kinds Of hog products
in the Western markets are lower,
and much of our bacon and lard

Separate Conventions.

GAINESVILLE Chronicle r..tr'.
1t has long been the custom of the
Democratic party in Tennessee, to
hold special convention to nominate
its candidates for Supreme Judges,
separate and distinct from the one
which dominates a candidate for Gov
ernor. Ur u
This course was very natural mas
much as the election of the Judges
comes off three months prior to that
of Governor. 1t was very proper be-
causeacOnvention to nominate Judges
should be composed of more lawyers
and fewer politicians than those that
nominate Governors, and it is desira-
BILE to remove as far as possible the
intrigues and wire workings that
usually characterize purely political
convention, from body that meets to
nominate candidates for our highest
court.
Then too, men who are selected to
occupy judicial position should not
be hampered by the platforms and
party measures on which a candidate
for Governor is expected to make his
canvass.
In short, the serperate convention
idea sprung from the same reason that
instigated the trainers of the cOnstitu-
ton to provide for separate elections.
The Supreme Judges must be chosen
without that excitement and hurrah
which enters into the election of an
executive Office.
There is certainly no reason at this
Ijuncture why the custom of holding
two conventions should be departed
from. With the factional and acria
monious feelings that pervade the pol
itics of the State its observance is
more necessary now than ever.
But just now comes the Nashville
American, posing as the party organ
and claiming to speak by the card in
all things that pertain to party man.

ovation on this time-honored custom,
that next year there will be only one
convention. What is the object OF
this movement on the part of the

, State or the party? 1t is simply ant

ON trip to Nashville and Column
bia during the past week, we found
those two cities, in a business point
of view, very quiet. Ifany compare
tive difference can be found, local
trade is less active in that part of the
State than this, and the revival Of
business is more perceptible here than
there. The wholesale men of Nash
vile, in all lines, are having an eX-
ceptionally fine trade. This is in
dicative of the fact that the country
expects a large trade this fall. Some
sections of Davidson, Williamson and
Maury counties are suffering for rain,
and in consequence thereof the fine
corn crop will be cut short to some
extent, yet very large crop will be
harvested. The two most all-absorb-
ing questions one hears discussed in
Nashville now are baseball and the
bridge. 1t is astonishing how much
interest is manifested in the National
game. 1t is discussed on the cars, on
the streets, in the hotel Hobbies, in
the counting-roOms and over the store
counters in fact, it has grown to be
a very large sized craze. On the
bridge question there is considerable
cause for apprehension. The old sus'
pension bridge shows considerable
evidence of insecurity. Work on the
piers for the new bridge has advanced
as far as it can until the old bridge is
removed. 1t is now thought that the
iron work of the new bridge cannot
be completed before bad weather sets
in, and consequently if the old bridge
is torn down now the new one is moi
likely to be completed before
next summer. The river has beer
spanned by a pontoon bridge for tenn
porary use, but the people who fine
it necessary to cross the Cumberland
daily do. not much enjoy the toll
charged over this. Nashville is con
stantly and rapidly improving it
streets. Mess. Frank and Will Davi
supply the city with all the grave

which they procure from the bottom

that purpose one of the best equipped

WE HAVE two Washington letters
this week, but neither of them con-
tain enough news to warrant their
publication. The Nations capital is
in the midst of its dullest and most
uninteresting season; there is little
or nothing transporting there Of gen
eral interest. The President and
most Of his Cabinet are taking short
vacations, while large number of
the lesser lights in the governmental
machinery are doing likewise. Work
in all the departments, however, is
being pushed with more system and
effectiveness than has been known
there for years before. The improved
methods of dispatching business
which have been adopted by the new
administration are eliciting favorable
comment from all sources. The
White House is being overhauled
and set in order during the Presi-
dents absence.

CONSIDERABLE excitement was
created in Nashville last Monday by
the announcement that the old sui

consequence of the stream being tap
ped by a new well which had been
sunk in the vicinity, All fears were

pipes were laid by the old company,
reaching to a point nearer the source
than formerly, and the flow of water
found to be more than double its sup
posed capacity.
