JOHN S. MuRHHY, the worthy State
Treasurer Of the A. q. H., who was accl-
dentally killed on the Winona s. St.
Peter railroad last week at Winona: was
one Of the best known y. o. II. men In
the State. He was a man Of excellent
ability aud had the honor of serving
Winona in different positions of trust
and honor. His genial nature had won
for him large acquaintance through
out the section in which he lived. The
many expressions Of sympathy received
by the family Of the deceased are proof
of the high esteem in which he was
held. A good citizen and an honest,

1t is announced that Mr.. Cleveland
has consented to open the Minneapo-
lis Exposition. A wire is to be ex-
tended to the Presidents cottage in
the Adirondack Mountains, and at
the proper time Mrs. Cleyeland is to
press a button and start the machin-
cry. The President is in danger of
being in communication with civila-
ton after all.
The Ohio Democrats Wednesday
nominated John Mcbride, of Stark
county, for Secretary of State. AS to
the tariff, they declared in their plat
form: "Taxes should not be collected
beyond the needs Of government econ
omically administered; and we here
by reafirm the principles laid down
our last State and National platforms
upon the tariff question, and demand
a thorough and just revision of exis-
ting tariff laws in accordance with
these principles. We heartily ap.
approve the policy of paying out the
surplus revenue heretofore accumulat
ed in the Treasury on the interest
bearing debt, Every dollar of unnec
essary taxation, State or national, il
robbery, and in derogation OF the
rights of the people"

be a falling off OF over hundred mil
lion OF dollars year In the receipts Of
the Government. This enormous
amount must be made up, if made up
at all, by tariff taxes--taxes upon the
necessaries Of life; taxes upon almost
every article the people use and con-
sumo. The Republican party has
actually placed itself in the attitude
OF favoring high tax on sugar, but
no tax on whisky; high tax on
wooden goods, but no tax on beer; a
high tax on Bibles, but no tax on rum.
Expensive sugar, expensive tea, ex-
pensiye necessaries of life-free whis-
ky, free crime, free damnation. This
is the inevitable end, the certain re-
suit Of the repeal of the internal reve-
nue. law, the restraining law, on wills

The Actual Democratic MOTOR
ity im Tennessee.

The Secretary Of State has now re-
ceived returns from all the counties
except Lawrence and the vote of the
county lis known unofiicially. The
table published in another column has
been carefully compiled from the Of
fetal record, the Figures being COM
pared to insure accuracy in compiling,
the proofs being read closely and the
additions proven. 1t is believed that
this table is correct to figure. 1t
shows the following vote for each Of
the candidates for Supreme Judge
Turney 156,19S, Caldwell 157 1850,
Snodgrass 1922, urton 1894,
Folks 157,45S, Randolph 122,44S,
Warder 1922 2S, Baxter 123,1O9, Wat
son 122,287. Murray
Taking the aggregate vote of the
five Democratic candidates and the
aggregate vote Of the five Republican
candidates and dividing each aggre-
gate by five and subtracting one from
the other gives the average majority
in the State, which is 34,452. The
majority of the highest candidate
Lurton, over the lowest, Watson, is So,
357, Adding together the highest
Democratic vote (Mr. Lurton's), 157,
GA, and the highest Republican (Mr
Baxter's) ,129,10 gives as the total vote
2S0,753. The highest poll heretofore
was in 1854, when the highest Demo
cratic electoral vote was 1920 anC
the highest Republican, $4,000, max
ing a total Of 257, 800, showing a gair
this year Of over $4,000 That THU
gain is Democratic is shown by the
fact that the Democrotic vote is in
creased by 24,S74, while the Repub
lican is increased by 981,-American.

Col. Chas. R. Vance, of Bristol, is
favorably spoken Of as the man likely
to be the next Attorney General and
Reporter for the State. Col. Vance is
a lawyer of unquestionable ability, a
man of high moral character, and a
Democrat who has ever been true to
his party. We could hardly say any
thing too good of him. The LIST dis

The Knoxville Chronicle, with its
usual sagacity, urges the Importance
OF the Republicans getting control of
the Legislature as well as electing a
Governor, for, as it has discovered,
there is to be a United States Senator
elected, and "Harris would like to 60
to the Senate again" This brilliant
illumination Of the public mind, who
has spent the greater part OF his life
in beclaiming against Democratic ig-
noyence, is himself so densely ignorant
of current affairs that he does't know
that Senator Harris time will not ex-
pire until after Bob Taylor has been
elected governor the second time.
We haYe no doubt, too, that large
number OF SEast Tennessee Republi-
cans are acting upon the same idea,
and that the defeat OF Senator Har-
ris by the next Legislature is the OBJ
jective point Of their campaign. And
yet we have to listen day after day to
the boastful claims of such statesmen
that the salvation of the country rests
entirely upon their wisdom. They
make us yawn.--NaShpiLe american.

Two statements.

The Knoxville Chronicle always
ready to misrepresent things lies as
follows about the game between the
Reds and Condon's at that place last
Saturday
The johnson City Reds" came, saw
and were conquered. The base ball
club from the place where Bob Tay-
lor's COMET" that fuse to was" is pub
lished, came to Knoxville yesterday
morning flushed with histories over
nearly all Of the upper East Tennes-
see clubs, but just as night was how
ering her dark wings over the uni
verse, their fame also had flown. The
little "Condon's" recently organized
club of young fellows of this city
thumped the red stocking youths
from the famous place, Familiarity
known as Johnson City, to the tune Of
IS to Is. The game was called in the
latter part of the seventh inning on
account of darkness, and as full seven
innings had not been completed the
score went back to the sixth inning
the last even innings, John G. Houk
was chosen as umpire and gave gen
eral satisfaction. BY some misun
derstanding the "Leibers' came to the
grounds uniformed, but as the "Con
dons" had arranged the game with
the Johnson City boys, the Leiberl
had their trouble for nothing anC
were not allowed to play,
The Gondons have evidently, by
their playing yesterday, started GU
on a victorious career, and they arr
thirsting for "more worlds to con
quer."
The Journal, OF the same date, pub
fishes the following, which is truC
statement of the game:
The Johnson City Reds arrive OF
the early morning train and put up a
the Atkin House yesterday. Ate
dinner the Reds and Leibers went on
to Isvbel Park, where a picked MIN
was found on the ground and de
handing that the Reds play them
The challenge to the Reds was to pla.
the Leibers, but it was signed by vii
Houk, and as spokesman for the min
Will demanded that they, and not tn
Leibers, play the Reds. The johnson
City boys being gentlemen, did no
demur, but feeling that an injustic
had been done to the Liebers, playe,
listless game and never made kicl
when close observers saw differen
than the umpire. The Leibers 50
watching the gvme and tried to al
the Reds by cheers, but failed to er
thuse them. At the end OF the sixt
inning the score was II to IS in fave
of the picked nine.
The Reds got TO the bat after flanl
ing the pickers and had made six run
with two men out, when the ball Wa
, mysteriously lost and was not foun
until it was too dark to continue til

would not decide the game but lie
it to three disinteresed parties, who's
report we had not received at the tim
: of going to press.

The information that the exporta-
ton OF gold, which has been going on
for number OF months, has ceased
and importations set in will allay the
uneasiness which u certain class Of
financiers, often without reason, feel
whenever they see the precious metal
slipping away from us. The reason
for a change is a perfect normal one
simply that the relative demand for
money is at present greater here than
it is in London.-N J.. World.
