TAYLOR AND DIBBRRLL

That Bob Taylor is gaining
ground, daily, in his candidacy for
Governor, is evident. And that the
race will be between Taylor and
Dibbrell, we are equally as well
satisfied. Taylor is not our first
choice, but as between Taylor and
Dibbrell, we unhesitatinglY say that
we prefer the former, and we believe
we voice the sentiment OF Il large
majority of the democrats of this
county when we say so. Both are
good men, and both are men of
ability, but Taylor would make the
ablest canyass, and would gain
strength for the party in East Tenn
esseee. That division of the state
is entitled to the candidate this fall,
if it will present an acceptable can
dldate. We don't like the idea of
running brothers against each other
for so responsible an Office as that
of Governor, but there reasons why
Taylor should be selected instead of
Dibbrell, which outweigh this OBJ
lection. Taylor is in line with tho
Democratic party in Tennessee on
the tariff, and Mr.. DibbreIl is not.
The latter is understood to lean
considerably to the idea of protection
and if he is a protectionist, he is no
doubt in favor of the Blair Bill, as
the protectionists are known to be
the champions of that scheme to
deplete the Treasury IN order to
make a reduction of the tariff i'm
possible. MIR. Dibbrell also voted
for Mr.. Randall for Speaker, when
MIR. Carlisle , as supported by the
balance of the Tennessee delegation
IN Congress, and that vote was con-
sidered as an index to the views of
members of Congress upon the
question of tariff revision. 1t is on
ly necessary to say that member
OF Congress is a supporter of Mr..
Randall, in order to defiae his views
upon the tariff. 1t is true as Gov
ernor he might have very little to do
with the.t tariff. But we want a can
didate who will, upon the stump,
advocate a tariff for revenue only,
and who will show to the people of
Tennessee how they are, year by
year, robbed of milliens of money
for the benefit of a class which has
already grown rich, and Insolent by
means OF a system which is no bet
ter than robbery, and which is rob.
berry under the sanction of law. We
believe that when the State Con-
vention meets I'm August it will
declare foe a tariff for revenue only,
and Will denounce in thunder tones
the Blair Bill delusion. Then We
will want a candidate who can,
without any sort Of mental reserva-
ton, 90 before the people and uphold
the principles enunciated in the
party platfoum.

PARTY ORGANIZATION.

The Hardeman Democracy has
been alive for many years to the
necessity of solid party work and
Hardeman is now the banner county
of the state of Tennessee. No par
ty can accomplish anything without
organization.
The Democrats of Hardeman in
every district and all over the cOun-
ty know and understand that for
many years past there has been the
utmost fairness in all county cOnven
ton and the will of the Hardeman
Democracy has been faithfully req
resented and carried out by its rep
resentatives.
When the Democrats OF tiiy county
hear now and then, complaints or
criticism, they would do well to
take the measure OF the man who
makes them and examine into the
merits of the matter cOplained OF
as we'll as the motive Of the critic,
and ties his Democracy by his
record.

BY III mElNs nR 80.

We clip the following remarkable
declaration of so called democratic
principles from the GAINESVILLE
Chronicle of the 18th inst, which
was clipped by it from the Lebanon
Herald;
"Call it Blair bill. federal aid to
education OF any other name, we
are foI it., constitutional or uncon-
stitutional. 1t is needed to educate
the children of the South. The
Democrats ought to take what is
offered and as much more as the
government will give and simply
offer their kindest thanks and ask
no questions. What the South
needs is money. The South has
been robbed for years and this is
the first chance that has been offer
ed to get anything back. The peo-
pie want it, iet it come and come
quick"
Strange to say the Chronicle
pronounced this good democratic
doctrine. The Chronicle claims to
be a democratic paper, but the
Herald claims to be independent,
which means that it is nothing poIiti-
caIly, and is without convictions
upon any of the political issues.
Has it come to this that newspa-
per claiming to be democratic in
sentiment, viii quote such staff as
this, and call it democracy. IF the
Democratic party advocated such
principles it would not live one
hour, and would deserve to be
buried out of sight forever. No
political party eyer, openly, advo-
Gated such a monstrous doctrine,
and still the Chronicle tells its
readers that this is democracy.
Constitutional or unconstitutional,
we are for it. The idea is, we
want the money, right or wrong,
and will have il by fair means or
FOUL 1t shows a lamentable state
Of affairs when newspapers of the
high character and standing of the
Chronicle will endorse such senti-
ments. Surely the Chronicle could
not endorse a sentiment which is
subversive of all governments
founded upon written constitutions,
and organized for the preservation
Of human rights. Many of the
enthusiastic advocates OF the Blair
Bill have gone to great lengths in
pressing ITS claims upon the public,
but this is the first instance, that we
know of, in which anyone has gone
TO the extent of advocating the
destruction of all constitutional
barriers, and a sale of every yes
tege of the right oflocal selfgoYern-
ment, for Il monied consideration.
Take all you can get and no ques-
tons" Great Heavens What are
we coming to? The Chronicle has
truthfully said ''Tennessee's illiteracy
is large, alarming and dlsgraceful."

Ripley Enterprise: An exchange
thinks the Blair bill was opposed by
many people because they had not
read it and merely echoed the senti-
ments of the 'Ieaders." Our obser-
walton Is that all the sos SCALED
"leaders" favored the bill, doubtless
thinking any scheme that had
money in it would be as popular
with the people as it was with them
selves. But the people are not such
fools as some OF these "leadersS
imagine, and it is evident that the
latter are beginning to hear from
their masters on this subject, hence
the sudden recantation of so many
statesmen"

Senator Whltthorne, in a letter
to friend, states that he desires to
again represent his old CongressiOn-
al District IN Congress. Many
democrats in Tennessee would have
enthusiastically supported him for
Governor, had he expressed desire
to stand for that place. He is one
of the ablest, as well as one of the
purest men in public liYeing to~day,
and his Congressional District
would honor themselves by henoring
him with the democratic nomination
for Congress. The country needs
the services of such men. Although
he has spent a lifetime in official
positions, no suspicion has ever been
cast upon his honor.

The State Democratic Executive
Committee have issued a circular to
the county Executive Committees
in which they state that no tickets
for Supreme Judges will be furnish
e1 by the STAGE committee, but that
the county committees are. to see
that the names of the Democratic
candidates for Supreme Judges are
placed at the head of the tickets
issued by the local Democratic can
didates. This should be done by the
candidates who are democrats,
whether they are nomine IS
or not. This will involve
no additional outlay by the
local candidates, but will be of adj
vantage to them. There are fifteen
offices to be filed this year, and if
the local candidates issue tickets with
only their own names OH them,
there will be fourteen names to be
written on each ticket. The conse-
quence will be, that very few such
tickets will find their way into the
ballot box. We cannot see any OBJ
lection to candidates who are demo.
Gratis, putting the names Of the
Democratic nominees on their tickets
1t will do the local candidates no
harn, but will assist in eIecting our
candidates for Supreme Judges.
