Notes Cleaned From Here and there on the
Political Current.
DIR. Barbee, the Mason, county Green
hack statesman, has declined the nomIna-
tion for State Senator, rendered him by his
marty. and is industriouSly at work in the
interest of Ex-senator woodward, OF Roane
county, who Is the Republican nominee IN
the Fifth District Writ Transcript.
Judge Brannon is On able, upright man,
experienced in public affairs, and will make
an excellent representative if elected. With
such n candidate the Democracy ought to
redeem the First District. -MaSon County
WdtchmdR.
Give rs a rest. OF course he got it. He
fools 'em every time. Down on your
knees, you poor creatures, and worship
your little god, for we intend to upset
your J~uggernaut in November. There Is
no reason why Golf should be elected, and
no sense in Democrats permitting it. The
Democrats are in power and his influence
is nothing. Let Us set him aside n give
SOME other Republican a chance WetzeI
Democrat.
The Democratic Senatorial Convention
rendered their constituency most efectual
service by nominating John d. Sweeney,
As our candidate for State Senator. 1t Is
a recognition of the young Democracy, in
telligence and general desirability.-Iyter
Democrat.
Nathan Golf was re-nOminated for Con-
uress from the First District last Tues
day by reclamation. His method OF IN
ducing his friends to rally around him by
positively declining, reminds us OF the az
r%iculturalist who induced his cattle to eat
straw by building 4 low fence around the
stack and clubbing them away from it two
OF three times q day.-HamhRgtOR 1drer-
tiSer.
Flick and Golf are War-tariff Protec'
t~ectionists. Judge Brown, the Republl-
can candidate for Congress in the Third
district, is a straight-out Free Trader.
Hutchinson, in the Fourth district, Is
Revenue ReiOrmer. This is variety enough,
and will make the canvass in West Vlr'
GINA sufficiently spicy. The Free Trade
scare is already being worked for all it Is
worth i'm the First and Second districts, and
Golf and Flick will soOn be shouting them
selves hoarse in favor of the great Wal
Tariff, and execrating the Vandal hands
that under the guise of lessening the tax
burdens of the people would dare touch
it.-Erchmge.
The nomination of General Golf at Yves,
ton on Tuesday, by the Republicans OF
this district, is pretty good proof that they
have given up the fight for the Legislature,
and will devote their etfOrs to holding
what they have already got. 1t rests
with the Democracy to say whether they
shall succeed in this, as we have a cleal
minority in the First district and cal
carry it this year il the proper effort Is
made.-Pm Handle NelrS.
Hard times seem to have vanished from
every mans door except n few Republican
farmers whom we meet occasionally. They
are very good men; they are well of in the
world, have plenty to eat and drink and
money sufficient to gather up the whole
family and take them off to the Wheeling
Fair and stay o week. Yet they look n
YOU with sad eyes and grOan, "A, har-r-r-d
times, harr-r-d times, and taxes is so high
can't only get Al to five cents for hogs and
%cattle's way down" And they grOar
again until you feel like sitting down on 8
store box and bawling out loud, Just IL
sympathy. 1t is a terrible thing to think
Of-that the G.. o. Z. is nc longer in pow
er.-Wetzei Democrat.
