Some Of our exchanges think
that the resolutions which the demo
craoy of this county adopted some
two weeks ago, and which proved
to be a bomb in the protection
camp, were adopted by a convention
called for the purpose of appoint
ing delegates to the judicial Con-
vention, only. This is a mistake.
That convention also appointed It's
delegates to the Gubernatorial
Convention, which is to adopt a
platform of principles for the Ten
nessee Democracy for the next two
years, and its delegates go pledged
to do all IN their power to have
them, or the substance of them,
made a part Of the State platform.

Judge Matt w. Allen. of Mas

Judge Matt w. Allen, of Nash
vile, is an independent candidate
for Judge of the Criminal Court of
Davidson and Rutherford Counties.
The Democratic Convention nomi-
mated Mr.. Ridley, Of Murfreesboro,
for the place, but Judge Allen says
it was not fairly done, and he is now
in the field against the nominee of
his party convention. We hope the
little Judge will be showed under
50 deep that he will never be heard
ofagain.

CLEYEAND 4 MANNING,

We print to day parts of two
good Democratic Letters from the
President of the United States and
our Secretary Of the Treasury.
They will be especially grateful to
to Hardeman County Democrats
after our convention of May 20, and
eur resolutions then passed. The
Hardeman County resolutions have
been criticised by the Union and
the Avalanche as old fashioned,
medieval and inharmonious. On
the tariff at least Hardeman Coun-
ty seems to be in line with the
President and the Secretary of the
Treasury:
Washington, May 3, 1886.
Ny Dear Sir have decided to
place in your hands my resignation
Of the office which you did me the
honor to ask me to accept fifteen
months ago. My reasons for this
decision are both public and personal.

Present tariff laws are a needless
oppression instead of an easy bur-
den. Our currency is a chaos into
which we pour from forced purchases
of one of the precious metals a
mechanical increment under coin
age law, so i'll judged and untimely
that it hindels the opening of our
minis to the natural and unlimited
coinage Of both metals, and the free
expanoion of our gold and silver
coin, along with the growing e IDS
OF mighty people. All our need
full customs revenue might be col
lected by strictly revenue duties
upon a few store articles, instead OF
by extravagant or prohibitory duties
upon more than 1000 articles. The
mere machinery Of administration
by its own mass and completely
breaks down and brushes out the
enterprise 1t assumes to protect. A
better currency than elsewhere
exists might be had by few laws
of repeating and empowering legis-
lation, followed by two or three
years of capable administration Of
the treasury, and joined with the
PRESENT sagacious conduct of oul
foreign policy by the state depart
ment.
Under the operation of currency

perity.

Mrs. Grover Cleveland We

Mrs Grover Cleveland went to
Europe several months ago as Frank
Folsom, simble village girl. She re-
turns to find herself famous and the
doors of the White House standing
open to receive her as It's mistress.
Her elevation to rank and station is
not less rapid and remarkable than
that of the man who invites her to
share his honors. There is a moral in
this, of course perhaps several of
them-but the reader can pick IT out
and frame it to suit himself. The IN
cident is peculiar to American lie.

The local paper must ever be appre-
eiated by a wide-awake, earnest COM
munity. The amount of good it accom-
plishes cannot be easily estimated. It
is always advertising the business en-
terprises and advantages of its town to
the reading public. 1t gives informa
tion about marriages and deaths, local
transactions, visiting friends and stran-
gers, crops and politics, and contributes
more towards building up town than
any twenty people in it. And yet peo-
pie will take city weekly, because it is
cheaper than their own local paper.
Why, the former doesn't care one pen
ny about your own interests; it does
not consult you about the matter it
gives you, which is generally only of a
miscellaneous character. 1t costs not
one-third as much to issue as your local
paper, because it is simply made up
from the daily, without extra compost
tion. We always believe in helping
home interests first, and do not buy veg
etables and clothing and shoes and jew
elry in the city, because we can get them
q little cheaper We buy these articles
at home. The money spent here is used
here, and we all alike reap the benefits.
Patronize your home paper, for it alone
works for the advancement of your town
and county.

men took the sins, while the Martins.
burg played the outs, with Young
In the pitchers box, ana Pigzer behind
the bat. The Hancock club succeeded
in making il goose egg, and the Mar
tinsburg club came TO the bat, scoring
? runs. This elated our boys very
much. But the Hancock team now
came in with some very pretty playiag,
banking the MaFtinsburg team ia fhe
secondhand fourth innings, sud running
up the score at the end ct the flfth IN
ming TO Is TO in their favor Things
were looking blue for our boys at this
time. Pitzer had received an ugly
bruise behind the bat, which rendered
it necessary to call pitcher Young 10
that position. But this was the inning
for Cage to pitch. Every one knows
that Stewart is a puzzler. He did adj
mirably, and was nicely backed behind
the bat by Young. Henderson the
home pitcher delivers beautiful. per-
picking down curve ball, swift, aud
fine but in the fifth inning our team
caught on to his delivery, and pummel-
ed him quite easily, making nine runs
with the assistance of their wild throw
ing. In the 9th inning Martinsburg
scored 8, Hancock 0. In the It'll, Mar
tinsburg 8, Hancock .. The Hancock
team failed to score in the Sth aud 9th
innings, while the Martinsburg team
scored / in the Sth, and did not play
the 9th, because they were already four
points ahead, the score standing Is
to 49, The Martinsburg club certainly
did well, considering that it was the
first time the full nine had ever played,
that the Hancock team is one Of the
best in Maryland, and that Pitzer, the
regular catcher was obliged TO play in
the field. The Hancock nine play
very precise and fine game, being good
runners, batters and catchers. Their
catcher was hit with ball in the 18th
inning, but stood up to the music nice
ly. At the conclusion of the game the
clubs cheered one another, and the la
dies presented our team with hand
some boquet OF choice flowers. This
city has 4 right to feel proud of her
team, which has accomplished so much
with such little encouragement.
The home club entertained and treat
ed the visiting club with great hospi-
tality and kindness, aud the friendship
formed, we hope, may always last.
They bore defeat with fortitude, aud
complimented the visitors on their good
playing. We also compliment Han
cock on its possession Of such All able,
gentlemanly body Of young men. The
home teym behaved remarkably well,
and leave a good name with the Han
cock people.
The return game between the Han
cock and Martinsburg clubs will be
played next Tuesday evening at 8
O'Clock, on the fair ground. An adj
mission of 10 cts. will be charged, as
the expenses attending the entertain
ing of the visitors will be quite heavy.
Surely no one will object to this small
pittance to see the FIRST professional
game played in this city for years.
Be liberal, and show the best Of good
will and hospitality to the Hancock
visitors. Lewis Gerhardt, Esq, um-
pired with entire satisfaction to both
mines.

Post Office, where he fired two more
shots. The result was that when the
crowd reached the office they saw a

death, with the blood flowing in streams
from two ugly holes in his body. The
animal came near biting several people
before he was killed. Dog days have
arrived and rabid dogs must be watch
