A Black Ego for senator Harris.

The nomination Of Col. James Phelan
for congress in the Tenth district is signi-
ficant, not 50 much on account Of what
he is as for the opposition that was made
10 him. He is one of the proprietors of
the Memphis Ardlanche. The drdlaache
is edited by II. NJ. Doak, one of the best
known journalists in the south. 1t has
been q staunch advocate of the Blair edu-
c~ational bill and also of q protective
tariff. 1t has not been in accord with
Senator Harris. Col. Phelan has dis.
claimed all responsibility for the policy
of that paper, that being left entirely to
the editor, but this was not satisfactory
10 the Senator. He cannot realize how
1t is possible for a man to be a stockhold-
er in q newspaper and not be in sympathy
with its editorial policy.
The upshot Of it all was, he determined
TO hold Phelan responsible for Doak's
sins and TO make him pay the penalty.
He determined that no man who owned
an interest In IA newspaper that did not
bow submissiyely to his wishes and de-
sires, was fit to be Democratic represen-
tative in congress. When he came home
he found a nephew who was a candidate
for the nomination for congress against
Col. Phelan. Mr.. Manson, speaker OF
the last Tennessee house Of representa-
tives, was also a candidate. They arc
both partisans Of Harris, but upon sur.
veying the field he saw that neither OF
them could beat Phelan. His first NOV,
was TO get them both to withdraw
which he had no difficulty in doing. Tn
next thing TO be done was TO bring out
new and stronger candidate. The ma
selected was Col. Josiah Patterson,
politician Of ability and popularity. Co
Patterson did not seem anxious to max
the race, but was doubtless urged TO d
so by Senator Harris friends and partii
ans in the Tenth district. He yielded

The Republicans have carried Maine
by a larger majority this year than they
have done in an off year for ten. The
Republican plurality in 1882 was only
S,S72. In 1880, the year Garfield was
elected President, he carried the State by
only S.S6S plurality, Now 1t is nearly
double that figure. With q Democratic
administration at Washington and the
offices in the State filled by Democrats,
the Republicans have made large gains
over former off years. 1t shows that
neither the Republican party nor James
G.. Blaine are dead.

The Republicans of Elizabethton did
well In nominating honest John Fain for
the lower House of the next legislature.
Sincere, bold, true to himself and to his
party and to all mankind, John Fain is a
man to be trusted on all occasions. With
a legislature composed of such men, the
occupation of the corrupt lobbyist would
be gone. All legislation would be honest
and the country would be better off. His
competitors were good men and true
Republicans. They would have honored
their constituents, but the nomination of
MIR. Fain was no mistake. -Kaorrille

Cure for FIux.

Many deaths are occurring daily all
over the country from bowel trouble, but
particularly from lux. 1t seems to be
almost epidemic. The best remedy we
know of is Lytles's Elixir. 1t seems to
hit the case exactly, and we have yet to
hear of the first case where 1t has failed,
If used in time. 1t is made from the pre-.
scription of an eminent physician, who
used 1t himself in a large practice. Ly-
ties Elixir ought to be in every home,
where 1t can be rcsorted to at once upon
