The first and altogether essential
step in the direction towards Demo-
cratic harmony is an unqualified de-
termination on all sides to abide the
action OF the majority in convention.
When this step is taken the road is
plain, open and broad. 1t is the duty
OF the party organ to supply its read
ers with the fullest information upon
allquestions, both State and National,
which are now, or likely in the near
future, to be of special moment or in
terest. 1t is its duty as well to express
plainly ito views upon these questions.
1t is both its right and duty to seek
at all sedsonabls times to impress
these views upon its readers and
thereby upon party conventions. 1t
is equally its duty to abide the result
OF these family consultations upon
matters and lines of policy. 1t is pre-
sumable that upon principles there is
no difference; that a Democrat is a
Democrat that there can lie no
qualification of membership; that
there is no such thing as "Railro0d
Democrat" "Anti Railroad Democrat"
or zone Convention Democrat" "Two
Convention Democrat" etc; but sim,
pie, plain Democrat-one who believes
that all power lies in the people, and
that all legislation should be for "the
greatest good to the greatest number.
1t is the paramount duty of the news
paper to dicuss questions OF policy
from standpoint of reason and JUS
tice, and not from passion, for neces-
sarily that passion would be commu'
nicated, and the first wedge TO inhar.
monious action would be driven. THE
AMERICAN is in deep earnest in its
desire and purpose upon this question
and will permit no petty, grudging
jealousy to stand in the way, and vii
permit no Democrat who maintains
his manhood, to excel it in this linz
and purpose-Nash0iHe American.

Eigah district.

Mr.. Ed. Perhaps a few locals
from this part would be of some inter
est to your readers what will be said
at this writing will be but little, as
there tas been nothing very recently
transpired which is of much import
ance. The extreme cold weather has
caused business to be very dull, many
of the farmers have lost their green
apples, canned fruit, irish potatoes
and many other things on account OF
the colds. The roads are very bad.
But little work has been done in the
way of farming in the community.
A. G. Longmire recently sold his farm
OF 81 acres to Mr.. Jerry Cox, who was
formerly citizen of this district, but
who had been in Texas for about four
years, he has returned and expects to
to make this his home for the future.
Esq. Thomas Scott, a juror to the Fed
eral Court at Knoxville returned home
the 22nd inst. Be ready, ]. T. Carr,
ESQ.,, tax assessor for the 9Th district,

the residence OF Mr.. A. H. Broyles
also one at the residence OF Mrs. Edna
Harris, on the 21st, and by the way,

A Brilliant Success.

BALTIMORE, Nd January 25.-The
Charity Ball held tonight at the
Academy Of Music was the most no.
table social event Of the season, and
obtained especial interest from the
presence Of President Cleveland and
distinguished party, who came over
from Washington. The wealth and
beauty OF Baltimore were out in full
force, and many OF the toilets worn
were the handsomest ever displayed
in the city, The Academy was elab-
Orately decorated and presented a
brilliant appearance when, at about
1880, the Presidential party put i'm an
appearance. The president was &C.
comanied by Col. and Mrs. Lamont,
Miss Endicott, Miss Villas, Mrs. Mar
shall Wilson, Miss Wilson, Col. Cas-.
sidy and Senator and Mrs. German.
On their arrival possession was form
ed headed by President Cleveland
and Mrs. Ridgely Goodwin, and march.
ed through the main entrance into
the ball room, OF which q circuit was
made. The party was greeted with
cheers. President Cleveland was es
corted to the box OF Mr., Charles D
Fisher, where he was introduced tc
Mayor Hodges and numerous ladies
and gentlemen. Lunch was served
in the concert hail, and the distin
guished guests returned to Washing
ton shortly aft err midnight. The bal
was brilliant success in every way
and handsome sum was realized

Silver.

1t is claimed by the silver men at
Washington that they are gaining
strength in both branches OF Congress
as the discussion of the silver ques-
ton continues. 1t does not look as if
there were any chance whatever of
the passage of measure in any way
restricting the coinage. The House
coinage committee it is thought, will
report bill, but it will lead to moth
ing in the house but speeches attack
ing the financial policy of the admin
istration. The silver men are very
confident, and at the same time very
mad. There is talk in the House
about bringing articles OF impeach-
ment against Treasury officials for re-
sisting the laws passed by Congress
The administrations strongest sup
port will come from the Republican
side Of the House, but several Repub,
licans of prominence are with the sil.
yer men.

what Bob Taylor Would DO.

The Proprietors OF the Nashville
Banner have written letter to Hon.
R. L. Taylor asking him if he will con-
sent to run for Governor at the COM
ing election. While Mr.. Taylor is not
candidate he says that he is willing
to make the run if his party calls on
him. He would carry the Democratic
vote OF East Tennessee, and a great
many Republicans would vote for
him. He is very popular in the first
district. He would make thorough
canvass and stir up the party from one
end of the State to the other.-R0qerS-
gille ReUiew.
see Hon. R. L. Taylor will, if put
on, make the race for Governor. He
will make it a hot time for the man
who may chance to oppose him.-BY-
THE-WAY in Bristol Courier.
Tennessee Democracy might go
very far and not find a stronger and
more magnetic leader than "bald-
headed Bob of the mountains His
canvass for State Elector was one Of
the most vigorous and effective that
has been made in this division OF the
State since the war. 1t would give
the Republican party Jumbo ague"
to see Bob Taylor the Democratic
nominee for Governor and we haven't
the slightest objection to witnessing
our friends, the enemy, shake Bob
Taylor is "hustler" and the way he
would rattle the dry bones Of the Re-
publican party would be fun enough
to last for life time.-JackSOn Whiq
Readers OF the News will remember
that it contained some months since
an article favoring the Hon. Robt
Taylor for the next governor OF the
State, stating among other things, in
substance, that though he was not de,
sirous OF the position, nor prospective.
ly q candidate that he was too good 8
Democrat to decline to make the race
il rendered him however much il
would be sacrifice for him to do so
We then stated that in our humble
Judgment he is the man of all Others
that can best unite the conflicting ell
ements Of Democracy and bear til
banner to victory, and restore our ole
time majority, we are still of this
opinion. That our statements with
reference to Col. Taylor's loyalty tt
Democracy and that he would shrink
no sacrifice for the party, when hi
services were demanded, the lette1
reproduced below is evidence. This
letter was written in reply to gentle
men asking is he would yield assem-
to the demands OF friends should he
be asked to bear the banner of tht
party in the coming canvass for Gov,
ornor. We give the letter entire ant
without apology, believing that ole
Humphreys first and steadfast choice
is Robt. L Taylor and that if he shall
be the Democratic candidate for Gov
ernor sho will roll up for him q large
majority than over given to any ONT
in the past.--H ocerly Neacs.
