ly endorse SuCh perndlOuS wrongs as that
law contemplates, they are not prepared
to deny those who may honestly diff
fer with them on public questions and
policies, the same rights and privileges as
themselves, and equal advantages in pro-
curing an honest and fair expression of
public opinion. Down in their hearts they
execrate the law and the motive which
suggested it. and will manifest their dis.
approval in the condemnation Of the party
which inflicted this disgrace upon the sta
tute books. 1t was the outgroWth of the des-
perate partizanism which usurped author
ity in the Legislature of 1884. practically
dethroned the Governor, and with reck-
less disregard of the sanctities of funda-
mental and statutelaw almost unpar a.lelled
since the days of the French Triumyir,
proceeded 70 make every interest of the
Commonwealth subordinate to party ext
gencies. The people are now gathering
the fruits of that violent and indefensible
procedure. The unsettled condition Of
the debt the danger impending over the
their administration the confusion and
distrust in our financial affairs the infa-
nous Electoral law, and the unfriendly
influences upon the state growing out of
these conditions all owe their source to
the outrages committed by the majority
of the Legislature of 1883 to secure two
thirds strength and nullify the constitu-
tional power of the Executive.
These things are not responsive to the
sober judgmentand enlightened conscience
of the people. They are referred to
with deep regret and repugnance, and will
be rebuked in the condemnation of the
party leaders who perpetrsted the wrongs.
If the Republicans prove true to them
selves and show that they can rise superb
or to such influences, that their ambition
is to reflect public sentiment not only in
the conduct of elections, but in the legis-

the average Democrat. He cannot COM
prehend the app caches of political cy-
clone and consequently makes no provision
for it until it comes upon him in over
widening force.
The Lade.r- appeal says the language of
the President. in his letter refusing to re-
instate District Attorney Stone sis the
language of despotism that will tolerate
no opposition, and not the voice of that
robust sentiment Of reform that called him
to its championship in the highest place
on earth. And continues our cotempo-
rary, Manifestly Mr. Cleveland intends to
stand by his letter of acceptance, and not
offer for a second term" Mr.. Cleveland
is beginning to show something of his true
inwardness. His is very coarse nature
his mind is very narrow, and his notion
of duty not the result of any deep moral
conviction. He is the completest failure
that ever occupied the chair of the Chief
Executive of the Nation.
A statement is published as coming from
the Franklin Gazette. endorsed by the
Danyille Register. to the effect that Hon.
J. r. Brown. independent Congressman
elect from the 9Th district, will vote with
the Democrats in Congress, and that if he
redeems his pledges he cannot do other
wise. This is strange talk after Mr..
Browns card announcing his candidacy,
and his past history. He is a Republican
and made the canvass for protection, the
s.l ,.1 bn rff1
revenue laws. Apart from this, we have
it from the highest authority" that Mr..
Brown will continue to be Republican
and act with the party that favors the
legislation he is pledged to sustain. If our
Democratic friends have no other source
of comfort than the expectation of Mr..
Brown acting with the Democrats in Con-
gress, they will be sadly mistaken in the
outcome.

A Pleasant Picnic.

On last Saturday, the 9Th inst, the
beauty and chivalry of our village
met at Edwards spring for a picnic.
Nature had exhausted her bounty in
providing the day with loveliness, and
the breezes swept along laughing in
unison with the glad hearts Of the par
Elephants. Overhead the sky Wore
such brightness, the sun shone with
such briliancy as it can only upon
such all occasion. At the spring was
selected beautiful green sward upon
which to gather, and it was early COW
cred with as glad hearts as ever pics
niced under tho trees.
When at noon-tide, fair hands
spread upon the grass dinner fit for
the gods, the trees above, the creek
below, and the grass around seemed
to rejoice. Ample justice was done to
the meal, and midst joy and gladness
the crowd dispersed in twos and fours
through the woods. Whether theirs
was fishing (for heart } or not might
have been read upon the hlushing
cheek of many fair one that after
noon. Upon choice spot, those wh'
were so inclined "tripped it ON the
light fantastic toe" while the musi,
of the violin played an accompani
ment to the song Of love.
Altogether the day was one ct rar'
ENJOYMENT to all who were present
and one to he long remembered fol

more than all, for the fair ones who's
presence makes glad the hearts o

FREEMAN AND CALDWELL.

We are glad TO believe that the
people of this county generally desire
to support both Judge Freeman and
Judge Caldwell for Supreme Judge.
The county can give each Of them her
entire 80 votes in the convention at
Nashville, yet she can give neither Of
them more than 80 votes. If Judge
Caldwell was not Il candidate the
county could give Judge Freeman
only 80 votes--if Judge Freeman
was not candidate she could give
Judge Caldwell only 30 votes. Let
her give Judge Freeman her full sup
port for one place, and Judge Cald~
well her full support for the other
place. She must do this, or support
only one of them for one place, and
some man out of the county for the
other place. 1t is hoped by the mu
tuaI friends Of Judge Freeman and
Judge Caldwell all over the state
that their home county will endorse
them both alike, by giving each of
them her full and hearty support.
One of the most influential men
in Dyer county is doing all in his !; ow>
er to secure the success Of both Judge
Freeman and Judge Caldwell. A lead
ing newspaper in another county has
come out for both of them. Then
would it not be remarkable if thi:
county should oppose one of her sons
and reject the other, when their friends
out Of the county are supporting botl
Of them? 1t would indeed, and We
do not believe that our county vii
think of such course for moment
She would be glad to see both Judg'
Freeman and Judge Caldwell nomi
mated, as they may be, and she vii
do what she can to secure that result
Other counties, having two candi
dates, are pursuing that course, he
cause they think it right aud also thu
better policy. Judge Caldwell an
his friends, everywhere, so far as W
have heard an expression, want thi
county to support both Judge Free
, man and himself They do not as
more than that, and they think the
are entitled to that much. Why cor
denim one of our candidates and sur
port stranger in his stead? There
: no good reason for doing so, and W
i do not believe it will be done.

An Editors Opinion.

Beware of anything that the maker
is afraid to own as his own. One rea-
son, among the great many Others
which we could give why the justly
famed Swift's Specific has attained
such large sale, is the fact that Mr..
Swift, the original inventor, gave his
name to it. This wonderful medicine
continues to grow in popularity, not
withstanding the papers are full of the
advertisements of imitators and follow
ers. Indeed it has come to pass that
this medicine is doing good in curing
those who have become seriously eft
fected from taking other mixtures put
up by nobody knows who.-Tem-
perance Advocate, Atlanta.

An Established Success---The Largest
Advertisers in the South.

1t would be superhous, of course, to
"call attention" to the page advertise
ment which appears in this issue of
the Times Union of the Swift Specific
company. This is no experiment
with them, or an effort to thrust a
new and worthless drug upon the
market. This blood purifier has been
on the market for years, and grows in
favor and popularity each year, and
calls forth continually scores and hun
dreds of endorsements from those un-
fortunates who have been relieved
and cured by its use. The growth Of
their business is immense. They now
occupy an entire building in one of
the principal business blocks in At
lanta, employing scores Of men and
ship thousands Of dollars Of this med
icine to all parts of the United States
and to foreign countries,
They are bold advertisers, ranking
among the largest in the world, and
by far the largest in the south. By
this means they have made known
what they have, and its merits main
tain its popularity wherever intro
duced
One lesson they teach the business
man, however. Some imagine tina
they or their business are too wei
known to need any advertising. Thi
company, which is not only EXTENSIVE
/. advertisers, have spent annual.
thousands of dollars for the past TWEEN
ty years, ranking also among tn
shrewdest advertisers, make no abate
ment in it, but increase rather thai
diminish their expenditures In I'M
line and in the same territory. The
also testify to the superiority of news
