THE DEVIL HOLDS A CONvBN-
TON.

Something new In the history Of
civilization but in accordance with
the first utterances to Eve in the
Garden, when truth and lies were
nicely mixed together. This con-
vocation occurred in Chicago . few
days ago, when the following beau
tiful platform Of principles were
laid down for the government Of his
dominious:
First-The recognition Of great
responsibilities resting upon his
followers.
Second-The condemnation Of
intemperance.
Third Obedience to laws Of the
country.
Fourth-Commends morality ed
ucation and good order.
Opposition to prohibition
as injurious to his business and
stopping immigration into his
dominions, besides It degrades his
followers.
Sixth-Opposes titled rulers.
Seventh-Recommends the man.
ufacture and sale of intoxicating
liquors as source Of prosperity to
any country. Therefore It should
be protected.
Eighth-Opposes the union with
political parties, but recommends
voting for men who favor his bust
ness.
Ninth-Endorses license to sell
but it should only be granted to
good men, for a moderate sum, sc
that the business be made respecta'
Bile.
This platform will doubtless suit
some Of the deacons in churches
It will be so nice and easy under II
to send men down to hell. Poll
ticians can stand on it and plead
its cause in his good desires fol
morality, education, good order
and his desire to- make Plethora
the Golfers Of State and nation
In his willingness to help school tn.
paupers he makes. Then the grea
desire to make the business respect
able, so that anybody can step init
the saloon and partake Of tn
"goOd creature of God" as 1t 4
called by some professors.

It will be easier now, while We are
in the minority, to make changes
than when holding the Offices.
A MEAN TRICK.


The reporters for the Democratic
press telegraphed all parts Of the
State that Republicans threw
stones at the Democratic process
sion here on the 25th ult., and that
threats were made to tear down
the American flag, which was float
ing over the speakers stand; that
the conduct Of Republicans were
so Outrageously bad that Bob Tay-
lor was afraid to speak; that q
cross-tie was placed by them over
the railroad track in order to throw
the train OF the same, hoping
the reby to kill Bob Taylor.
All this whole matter was gratu-
itous and false. The TIMES Will
publish the names of any Republi.
cans engaged in this kind Of work,
II their names are furnished, and 1t
demands any names Of white or
black who threw stones at the pro-
cession or at the cars, or who
threatened to disturb Bob Taylor,
OF the flag. The truth is the whole
report is and was q make up, false
in all its details. The disturbance
that anybody noted was, q few boys
hallooed for ALI Taylor when the
procession was passing, also when
Bob Taylor was speaking. The
TIMES condemned that as wrong.
We give also what General Hood
says about the throwing Of stones
and the placing of distractions
across the railroad track. Mr..
Hood is a Democrat and a warm
supporter of Bob Taylor. Ill
II the man who reported these
ISLANDERS to the Nashville Ameri-
can was to come back here we
would not 60 his security against
bruises. Men thrash their children
for lying, and If that is right, then
the American correspondent ought
to be thrashed.
If the report of the Knoxville
Republican was correct that there
were 5000 Democrats here and that
500 of them were on horseback
they certainly had strength enough
to have protected themselves
against q few colored men. The
whole object of this was to preju
dice Middle and West Tennessee
against the Republicans, who are
in the majority here. This kind o
work will not only strengthen thu
Republicans, but it will change thu
better class of Democrats over :,
the Republicans; for If any cause
can't stand on truth, good men will
have no sympathy with it or for 1t.

In The estimate given as to the
number of the people in Maryville
at the Bob Taylor meeting, a part
of it was from actual count. The
number Of horsemen were counted
as they passed the TIMES Office;
there were seventy-five pairs, max
ing one hundred and fifty men and
boys on horseback. The footmen,
all who come to town would prob
ably have reached fifteen hundred.
The entire crowd did not 60 to the
speaking.

ONLY As A POLITICIAN,

In our references to Bob TAYLOR
we only spoke Of his political life,
which he made public property
whom he became Q candidate for
Office, just as every candidate does.
Individually we know nothing Of
Bob's life, therefore we mentioned
only Bob Taylor the candidate, as
his political life would affect the
people Of Tennessee; and we think
we did this In q fair way, just as he
made It himself.

ELECTIONS TOO FREQUENT.

It is subject Of rejoicing when
a political campaign has passed,
for, do the best they can, men will
get little sharp at each in q heat
ed contest. Election periods are
crowded too closely to each other
for the good of the people. Four or
six years would be preferable as to
time. This would bring rest to COM
munities between campaigns, and
give more time for social and in.
tellectual life.

THAT OBSTRUCTION.

Railroad, north Of Maryville two
miles, on the 25th ult, being the
evening that Bob Taylor left here,
was an occurrence that all good
men will condemn, and neither of
the parties should be held RESPONSE
BILE for it. We do not know wheth-
er, if done by human hands, 1t was
perpetrated by a Republican or
a Democrat; we will say this much,
whoever committed the deed was
not friend to the Republican par
ty, unless he was fool, for such
transactions will always injure the
party guilty. We do not believe
it was done by Republican, and If
so we could help hunt him down as
an enemy to the party.
We have known a party to raise
a pole one day and cut it down at
night and charge it on the other
party; and, nine times out of ten,
that is the true solution. In to.
days paper we give General Hoods
solution of the matter; and he may
be right, but we know the tricks
that parties will do to consolidate
their ranks, so that when we hear
of such transactions we always
blame the party who has the wrong
committed on it as being the guilty
one.

Friends, stand by the TIMES Of

South that can boast Of such a pa

1t is the object of the proprietors to

the proper encouragement 1t may

Yours Truly,
r. N. HOOD, President.

We commend this gentlemanly
communication of General Hoods.
He is not willing to do violence TO
q people that his party may sue.
coed. This is good principle to
act upon. We have inquired and
have found no one who saw stone
thrown, or any interruption except
some of the boys shouted for All
Taylor when Democrats cheered
Bob; which we confess was wrong.
If any man or boy cannot behave
himself when listening to argu-
ments that he does not believe in,
he had better 60 away from any
public meeting, political or re-
ligious. This is a free country and
every man who is loyal to the gov
eminent should be allowed to
peaceably meet and hold meetings,
should have perfect freedom to
talk, sing, rejoice, raise flags and
do all lawful acts without hinder
ance.

KNOXVILLE, TENN, October a.
Gen. r. N. Hood, President Knox
vile and Augusta Railroad-Dear
Sir: 1t is published In the Tribune
this morning, and we understand
has been telegraphed abroad, that
an attempt was made to wreck the
train upon which Hon. r. L. Tay.
lor was returning from q demo-
cratic meeting at Maryville yester.
day, and also that the train was
stoned. AS we believe you were
q passenger on the train and natur-
ally more interested than any one
else in ascertaining the facts In the
matter, we would respectfully re-
quest,in the interest Oftruth, q state.
ment of the real facts.
Very respectfully,
RULE 4 MARFIELD.
MEssRs. RULE & MARFIELD,
KNOXVILLE, TENN, October 26.-
GENTLEMEN:-YOur favor Of this
date is just to hand.
I noticed the publication in the
Tribune this morning that an at
tempt had been made to wreck the
train upon which Hon. r. L. Taylor
was returning from q democratic
meeting ut Maryville yesterday,
and that the train was stoned.
The last statement is utterly
false. The train was not stoned,
and no such thing was ever heard
of until it appeared in the Tribune.
The train lett Maryville after
dark, and I was in the coach next
the engine, the engineer whistled
"d0wn brakes" and stopped his
train. l went out to tho front OF
the engine and found that q fence
rail and not q crOss.tie was on the
track. This was In q deep cut,
where rail fence is on the edge Of
the cut, and frequently rails fall OF
the fences in such places and oh.
struct the track. 1 am sure the
rail had fallen of the fence by &C.
cident-as If any one had wanted
to obstruct the track it would have
been easy to have procured more
rails, or old crOss-ties and made the
obstruction more dangerous.
The people Of Blount county are
q law-biding people, If a majority Ol
them are republicans, and I do moi
believe there is q man in Bl0unt
county that would do so dastardly

A Big Contract.

The Harlan x Hollingsworth Company
has received an order from the Windsor
Steamship Company for the construction
of an iron screw steamship to run on the
line between Philadelphia and Boston.
The new vessel will be 227 feet long be-
tween perpendiculars, IS feet beam, End
20 feet in depth of hold. She will be
driven bya compound surface condens-
ing engine similar 70 that of the Spartan.
The ship will be arranged with iirst-class
passenger accommodations, adapted to
the growing passenger business of tine po-
pular Windsor line The freight capacity
will be very large and every appliance
will be furnished for the expeditions
transfer and handling of the cargo.
The new steamer will in fact be a con
sort and almost a duplicate of the Spar
tan and will add another factor to the
fleet engaged in Windsor Company's ex
tensive trade.-Eoery Erening.

What is it for that we put in
easiest types the news of the
store from day to day?
We have heard a wise mer-
chant say that one of the chief
incentives to advertising is the
glory of seeing ones name and
lucubrations in conspicuous
print. 1t may be with some
but we look for their names in
big black letters made blacker
still with a setting of broad
white spaces. For our part we
choose the smallest of proper
types for the name at the end,
and for title the usual style of
the paper as toheadings. These
give sort Of state or official
sanction to what we have to
say; but they are not conspic-
uous. The types get 50 used

owner They are the closest kindred to

try, except the span presented to Gener-

numerous marvellous feats, and is all in

family of aristocratic equines are the
comedians of the exhibitions, and their
work is highly ludricious The horses
come here from the Third Avenue Thea

performing for month to packed

unite in characterizing them as modern
marvel, infinitely superior to all rival or

The CONTEST closes to-day. Lonl

THE CONTEST closes to-day. Long
before the gubernatorial nomination
up to date fierce fight has been
waged between the two wings. The
Lore men claimed the first victory,
but as the Hon. Benz. T. Biggs has
declared that Mr.. Lore can fight his
own canvass, the victory dwindles
down to tempest in a teapot"
For the past two weeks candidates
have been coming forward of each
faction, and supporters have been
working with a determination to win
at all hazards.
Both factions are confident, but it
would only be conjecture as to who
will be victorious. In this hundred
the number of candidates are nu-
merous. There are two for Repre-
sentative, William f. Smally and
Thomas Hawthorne. There are three
gentlemen for Levy Court. This
Office pays from four to six hundred
dollars a year, so we have been in
formed, but never hunted for cor
rect statement. Either one of the
three gentlemen out for nomination
would make good officers The cleo.
pioneering and wire-pulling of some
has been tremendous. A number o
promises have been made, so we un
derstand, to supporters. Personally
we have supported Miller R. Barton
from the simple fact that we know
Mr.. Barton, and believing he would
make a very efficient officer. Their
are a number of candidates 70
assessor, inspector and road commits

candidates. The contest has been
memorable one, and years will elaps
