The proposition Of the national

Not N Fact.

The Bristol News tells it's readers
that the present tariff on steel railroad
bars is $27 per ton, and that under this
benefcent protection steel rails are
now sold at $3.50 per ton. But the
NesCs don't tell the truth, that is to
say, the NeWs is mistaken. The pres
emit tariff on steel rails is only $17 per
ton, and that has been the rate Tor
several years, and not until the re-
auctions was made to these figures did
the price tumble to $3.50. This is
attributable solely to reduction Of
the tariff. The NeUS ought to be
more careful in it's statements unless
it is trying to decide the people.

able. His Democracy has been OF the
kind that.try men, souls-he was the
only man in Taylorsville, and almost
the only one in Johnson county who
voted for Seymour in 1868. He has
never faltered or tagged in the sup
port Of Democratic principles, and
this recognition of his worth and Of

a general favorite with the masses.
White canvassed the First district for
the Democrats when such an under
taking was neither pleasant nor safe.
He has sat in both branches OF the
State Legislature and is familiar with
public life in other walks. While he
has considerable majority to overcome
hewill go into the battle with cheerful
assurance that will do much to bring
him through IN the lead. Inc peo'
pie disposed to vote the straight Re
publican ticket will know what man

BRIsToL Oct. 1.-The Congressional
canvass opened here to-day between
Col. James White and Hon. r. r.
Butler. Butler led in a speech OF
something near an hour and his own
party friends acknowledge that it was
an exceedingly weak effort and with
out effect. Col. White followed in
mastery speech and for an hour his
arraignment OF Butler was terrible.
He charged him with all his crimes
against the people and government
and as evidence produced the Con-
gressional record and certified indict-
ments, from the supreme court OF the
District Of Columbia against Butler
for forgery and conspiracy to defraud
the government. The charges were
terrible and the effect upon Butler
crushing. The Democrats are jubi'
liant and a large number OF Republi'
cans declare they will not support
Butler. 1t has been a grand day fol
the Democracy of Sullivan. Colone'
White is in fine trim and his Grafton
to-day was the finest ever delivered il
the border city. Some OF Butler
stanchest supporters say to-nigh
that such a canvass kept up through
out the districtwill defeat him. There
is no denying the fact that Butler an'
his friends are fearfully chagrined owe
the result to-day.--KnO1ville Tribune.
