Col. ALI Taylor the republican
candidate for governor of Tenn, in
his recent speech in Memphis, with
a flourish said, 81 believe In spelling
Nation with big N" This is the
old .Federallsts' idea, and is now re-
publican doctrine and implies belief
in a strong government. The ten
dency of this doctrine is to locate
power in the hands of the few, and
to push aside popular restraints and
concentrate supreme authority at
headquarters. There is an issue
here between the republican and
democratic parties. The republican
party would spell nation with a big
n. The democratic party would spell
people with big p. Tue republi-
can party teaches that the power re
sides in the nation. The democrat

the people. The term democracy in
dicates the party's faith. Demos

people rule. In this as in almost ev
cry other instance where the issue of
party faith are joined, the comparl-
son shows most clearly which is
nearest the people and most in sym
patty with their rights. The dem
ocratic party, say what may be said,
is now and always has been the par
ty OF the people.

r. w. LEIGH, Editor of the Nor
rilton Headlight one of the vide
awake journals Of the state, is can
didate for assistant clerk of the house
in the next legislature. He was dep
uty clerk under Maj. Tom Newton
in the last Legislature and has the
requisite experience, coupled with
his first.class ability for the posi-
ton. Mr.. Leigh's election, which is
almost certainty, will guarantee
the fullest efficiency in that depart
ment of public duty in the next gen.
eral assembly. We do not look for
him to have any serious opposition
for the place.
HERE is little scrap taken from
the account of the banquet or enter

better not been done by the Knights

pom once the Kilkenny exercise of
the various factions of the democrat
ic party in New York has been omit
ted. A union of all the factions--of
Tammany Hall, Irving Hall and the
County democracy-has been effect
ed for the municipal election, and
Hon. A. 5. Hewitt, a member of the
last congress, is the nominee for
mayor. 1t makes us almost feel
strange not to have the usual slug
ging performance between Tamma-
ny and Irving Halls with an eniilade
from the county democracy. But
the feeling is rather pleasant. Nov
elites of this sort are IN order all lover
the democratic domain. This action
ensures democratic success in the
city, and honors one of the most
faithful Of democratic statesman.

The Pennsylvania Coal Corpora
lions are loud IN their professions OF
sympathy for the protection of Amer
lean labor. Recently by means of a
consolidation they raised the price
of coal fifty cents ton, but they
failed to raise the price of digging it
one cent. This is the way they al
ways give practical illustration OF
their sympathy, and it is also a fair
illustration OF the workings of pro-
lection. Capital gets the benefit OF
it, at the expense Of labor.

IT is claimed that the democratic
outlook in Nebraska, is better than
ever before. Hon. James K. North
of Omaha, Is the democratic candi-

one of the most brilliant lawyers in

in adopting so strong platform.
Altogether democratic fighting
ground is better in Nebraska than

The news from Europe indicates
that France is ready and waiting for
an opportunity to avenge herself up
on her teutonic neighbor. She is
not only ready but eager to wipe the
disgrace of the great defeat OF 1870
from the French escutcheon, and, II
possible, restore to France the lost
provinces OF Alsace and Lorraine by
The disastrous war Of 10. France is
in fine condition regardless OF the
loss OF 100000 of her population
and the strong strategic points OF
Metz and Strasburg which were IN
French territory l6 years age. Her
wlsest oourse doubtless would be to
bide her time and wait until Germa-
nv is involved in foreign war. But
French blood is hot and quick, and
the restless Frenchman may not be
able to curb his ambition to retrieve
his former prestige and restore the
provinces which German arms wrest-
ed from him,

Two good purposes will be served

men and measures which will bring
them q hundred fold in the way of

whole day to vote, it would be only
one day in two years, but it only

who a few days ago stood on their
tip toe from their interest to see their
favorites elected to some state or
county office, set down and go to
sleep when the more important place
OF congressman, and the more i'm
portant duty of preserving national
ascendancy is at stake, is oneof those
things which must not be permitted.
Democrats, get up and rub your eyes,
and wake up your neighbor, and start
the ball to rolling for a vigorous
turnout and clean days work on

The Globe Democrat berates Pres
ident Cleveland for the small dona

$40, what is to be thought of the

than the president, that is, not one

town only two were left in a condi

five were left standing at all. The
others were swept away. About 200
lives were lost including IS from
