"Thc history Of a political party furn.
ishes better means for testing its quality
and estimating its claims to public conf
dence than can be deduced from the pro-
f~essions Of Its leaders or the platforms Of
US conventions"
Let Republicans apply this rule. Read
the record of Democracy. Read It's an
cient doctrine of State rights, by which
the national government was subordinate
to the will of individual States; how this
lead to rebellion and civil war; how it
opposed emancipation; how It opposed
each Of the three amendments to the con-
stitution, and has. been compelled to ac-
cept and indorse all of them. Democracy
opposed the homestead laws, the system
Of improving the rivers and harbors at
the public expenses; but now it dares not
oppose those measures. So it opposes a
protective tariff, but is not able to give
the country a better system. In a word,
Democracy Is q party Of incompetency; a
party without principles or a well defined
policy. Democracy holds sway in Ten
nessee and in the South because the PEG.
pie allow themselves to be swayed by
their prejudiccs and sympathies rather
than by calm intelligent reasoning; that
Is, allow their feelings to get the better

Mr.. EDIToR: Having read in your
worthy paper some few encouraging
words from your correspondent for the
Republican ticket, and believing these
few lines from this loyal county will be
appreciated by many Of your readers, I
attempt to write you q few.
Ihavc noticed In the columns of the
Comet, COw~.fr, Reporter, and other pa
spsSs the as . Hawkins county fraud.
which wds recently published. We pro-
nounce it a most slanderous and fraudu-
lent statement. No true Republican can
trust his vote to such stuff as that. BE
ware Of it. for no Republican ever aimed
to write such al article as that published
in the Comet. In every word, we all 'true
blues" are solid for Brown and Campbell
for they are honest gentleman in every
respect. No! nc Republican here will
vote for Mugwump candidates like st.
John and Burrow who announce them
selves as peoples candidates"
Don't be caught In the Democratic trap
at the polls, or they would mock you af-
ter the polls are closed.
We all are very well pleased with the
nomination of the "silver tongued" ora.
tor of East Tennessee Il mean little Alf)
for governor. We earnestly hope he will
be our next governor, as he should be.
Let every Republican work earnestly till
the polls are closed, and then victory may
be ours. We are awful tired of old Bour-
bons, aud let us wipe them out. We are
anxious TO see the time when our beloved
State is no more in their hands.
Loyal johnson gave at last election,
no less than 900 majority for Pettibone,
and 1t is believed that she will go for Lit.
tie ALT by from 1000 to 1900 at Novem.
Der election next. Now, let us unite at
the polls, and we are sure victory will be
ours. Success to your paper.

GREENE COUNTY,

Mn. EDIToR;--We thought that q few
dots from the good old county of Greene,
expressive of the political situation here
would be very acceptable for publication
in yopr widely circulated and IN ost valu-
able Republican paper.
But rcverting to u subject, we will
first say the Republican county ticket is
all that could be desired in popularity of
candidates and excellency of characters,
and we hope the other counties have as
good tickets as Greene. Democracy here
is thoroughly disorganized. They know
not what to do; they stand in small groups
here and there like q routed army and
look on with hollow eye in dreamy
silence, OF the great strength and organi.
cation Of the Republican party; they
have heardth Republican bugle sound
and they behold with amazement the
alacrity with which every Republican re.
spends to the call.
The Republicans are solid for Col. A.
j. Brown for Judge and Mr.. Campbell
for attorney general, and why should
they not be? They are men of sterling
integrity and the party is proud of them.
The soldier who wore the blue recognizes
in the nomination Of Col. Brown that the
party has been grateful to them; the
laboring class also see they have been
mindful Of them, for Col. Brown was
both q laboring man and a soldier. Lit.
tie did those who were acquainted with
his early history think when they saw
Young Brown w~agoning from Jonesboro
to Knoxville, and TO the Salt works, that
he was destined to reach by his own un-

Greeneville Republican: Hon. VIM.
M. Baxter, Republican nominee for Su-
preme Judge, for the Eastern Division Of
the State, spent last Tuesday in our town
and while here gave us o pleasant call.
Mr.. Baxter formed many acquaintance
while here. While he has the reputation
of being a first-class lawyer he Is also a
pleasant and courteous gentleman. Re.
publicans and Democrats are alike we'll
pleased with him. We believe that he
will get the solid Republican vote of
Greene county, and that a large number
Of Democrats in Greene will cast their
votes for him in preference to Snodgrass,
the Democratic nominee whom the Demo.

Mr.. EDIToR,-I am a life long Demo-

our ticket until now. Some Of these men
that wants TO be boss'en u party all the
time, talks SO many ways about it, and
keeps q send'en us word about keep'en
still. and say'en nothing, that they are
working plans to blind-fo and deceive
Republicans, that ! am disguised with it.
They tell us we must vote for S~nodgrass
because he was nominated, land we willy,
then in the next breath say vote for st.

dates. / used to hear'em say consistency

Now st. John and Burrow are dyed-in.
the-wool Democrats, but If they are
ashamed Of their party, we ought to be
ashamed of them, and at and through the
ballot box let them and Democrats here
after understand that they must not con-
clude that a few aristocratic lawyers at
Blountville and Jonesboro, dictates TO,
and bosses u party.
Now Of course the names of st. John
and Bufrow will be on our ticket, that is
the straight Democratic ticket; but, as
they have so far snubed us, less smite
them and tear their names off the ticket.
Give us avowcd Republicans all the time,
instead of a set of men, who assumes to
be Mugwumps for the sake Of office. If
they smother principle individually, they
would likely do SO officially. l tried to
express my views through the Demo.
cratic press. but they by their silence
have said, no, that such a thing would
open the eyes of Republicans, and help

helps the ticket let her go.

have lists Of names in each county of Re.
publicans whom they say will vote for

soon. Republicans are not natural fools
and can't be caught in this nor any other
way by bourbon snares. We recently
found one of these lists with names on 1t
that will give them a black eye, and don't
forget It. We propose this time putting

from the State Capitol to the civil district

ensuing eight years by a large majority.

aided efforts, the enviable reputation he
to-day posscsses-a lawyer of ability and
a christian gentleman.
We repeat, the Republicans are solid
for Brown and Campbell. and We ask
why should they not be? Is 1t possible it
Is because Mr.. St. John and Mr.. Burrow
are crying out over the district that the
Office is non-partisanf Surly not. Why,
don't the Republicans wildly remember
eight years ago when Mr.. st. John tried
to get the nomination oyer the late Hon
John A. Mckinney at the Democratic
convention that howled around the
Greeneville court house for two days and
nights, and at last failed? Why certainly
We do; and we just as well stop right
here and disabuse Mr.. st. Johns mind
of the idea that he will get a solitary Re.
publican vote by such nonsense. We
think 1t would be more manly in Mr.. st.
John to stand up and acknowledge that
he is too unpopular to come before the
| people for recognition and therefore &C.
cept the nomination from the midnight
sink.hele Democratic convention, and it
would be best for Mr.. Burrow to say
there is too much shadow and not enough
of substance about me to contest against
the brains Of my party and so / will &C
cept the nomination for attorney general
at the hands Of the same mysterious con-
vention and not talk about partisans and
non.political officers. In conclusion, we
say, the Republicans are solid for Brown
and Campbell, and on the 9th day of Au-
gustwe will see them elected by handsome
majorities; and when the battle is fought
and the smoke clears away, the last act
in this political drama will be the com
mand along the Republican ranks-Look
boys, lookl and the object to be seen will
be an old rickety vessel steaming out
from port taking st. John and Burrow
up Salt river never to return.
