mine for ten years with grace, dlgni-
ty and honor. Never has there been
any smireh or faint upon its sacred
folds. Blind justice has ever guided
him Alright, and his impartially and
uprightness have won him the plaud-
its Of the public. Many OF these
would have been glad to see him nom
mated by the Democratic convention
for Supreme Judge, but he would not
allow his friends to use his name, as
he saw there was to be wrangle. He
is a brainy man, broad-cultured, q
close student, an accurate thinker.
His language is ever ready for express
sion, and his attainments make him
fine debater. He is no politician,
and in that fact surpasses as an avail
able candidate any man in the dis
trict, On the leading and vital ques-
tions OF State and nation he is sound
and clear. His opponent could not
have q more dangerous man to deal
with. He will need more votes than
the present congressman received to
secure his election. The 2,506 repub-
lican majority of 1884 will rapidly
fade away as the day of election
draws near. The Democratic nomi-
nee will draw to his banner many q
member of the other party who has
become tired of its corruptness and
the eternal Suing of the old leaders on
every Office to be had. The pure lift
of Judge Rose means something tC
them and this magic power will
roll up hundreds OF votes at the No
yember decentralization Ga
zette.

THE RESULT IN MAINE,

THE REPUBLICANS WIN BY ABOUT $500
AS AGAINST 10000 TWO YEARS AGO.
AUGUSTA, Me-, Sept. 14.-Returns of
yesterdays State election have come
very slowly, not more than 100 of the
500 towns having reported to the Sec
rotary of State. Unofficial reports
show that the Republican plurality
will be about 1880. The vote of
Clark, Prohibition candidate for Gov
ernor, will reach $500, against LOO
for Eustis in September, 1884, and 2,
100 for st. John in the Presidential
canvass of that year. 1t is evident
that the Republicans.will have about
$500 majority over all. In 1884 Robe
had 1890 plurality and over 10000
majority

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, Sept. 12,-
The day was passed pleasantly at
Cleveland. The friends OF each Of
the candidates called upon them in
large numbers. Bob spent the day at
the home OF ]. II. Bible, editor of the
Banner-News. All was at the hotel
Democrats crowded around Bob and
declared his speech OF Saturday was
more satisfactory to them than any
ever made in the county. They
promised him that his vote in Brad
ley would be the largest ever given a
Democratic candidate.
Bob Taylor clubs will be organized
throughout the county, and every
Democratic vote will be brought out.
No candidate ever had so many warm
personal friends as Bob Taylor, and
their efforts will tell in November.
ALT came into the dining-room to-day
at dinner, accompanied by a number
of his friends, all having red roses pin
ned upon the lapels of their coats. 1t
was a short time till some of Bob's
friends had white roses pinned upon
the lapels OF their coats. The idea
was catching, and everybody was
hunting roses. Every man, woman
and child you met on the street wore
either a red or white rose, It's doubt.

white rose left blooming in Cleve,

Cure for FIux.

Many deaths are occurring daily all
over the country from bowel trouble,
but particularly from hux. 1t seems
to be almost epidemic. The best rem
edy we know of is Lytle's Elixir. 1t
seems to hit the case exactly, and we
have yet to hear of the first case
where it has failed, if used in time.
1t is made from the prescription of an
eminent physician, who used it him
self in a large practice. Lytle's Elixir
ought to be in every home, where it
can be resorted to at once upon the
first appearance Of trouble with the
bowels.

The Democratic Nominations.

In nominating Judge Rose for con-
gress in the First district, the demo-
Gratis have presented one Of their best
men. Personally he is above reproach.
AS lawyer he is in tho front rank of
his profession. AS Judge he was up
right and impartial, his administla-
ton being generally satisfactory to all
parties. AS man he is the peer Of
any in the district and the Democrats
Of his district have no cause to be
ashamed of their candidate. He has
never engaged actively in politics and
his powers on the stump are untried
and consequently unknown. We
have no doubt about him meeting the

Tobacco WdrehOuse.-It begins to
look as il we were not going to have
that warehouse after all. A few weeks
ago.a subscription was started and an
amount subscribed by the citizens suf-
ficient to buy a lot, at the price agreed
upon by one of the members of the
Johnson City Real Estate Co., on
which to erect a warehouse, Messrs.
Crandall & Shuler agreeing to build
when the lot was decided. About the
time the subscription was made up
the Knoxville members of the real
estate company concluded the price
agreed upon for the lot was not
enough and thereupon they thribbled
the amount. Not. only did they dc
this, but they concluded they might
further make good thing OF it by re
curing the parties who were to build tc
make one of the walls perfectly straight
and without, windows so that they
could build to it thereafter. Ofcourst
this ruined the trade and another
suitable lot cannot be found. 1t is
great pity that most of the land suita

The Passenger Rate War.

NEW YORK, Aug. 21.-All the outside
ticket agents and ''scalpers" are trying to
sell tickets over the Baltimore 6 Ohio road
to-day and are making concessions when
necessary, in excess of the SIS cut adver-
tised officially by the company in rates to
Chicago. The Baltimore & Ohio have been
selling at the SIS cut for some time, but
have made no effort to obtain passengers,
except those yesterday applying at the COM
pany's office until the recent controversy
with the Pennsylvania about freight bust
ness. Since they have been compelled to
suspend freight business in this city on ac-
count of the refusal of the New York and
Baltimore & Ohio Transportation COM
panles to carry the freight to Baltimore
they have again cut passenger rates to all
points, the extra concessions amount
ing in all to So to Chicago and
side of the Mississippi. Among railroad
people the feeling is general that although
the passenger pool has not yet taken notice
of the new cuts by the Baltimore d. Ohio it
must do so soon, as the roads maintaining
the rates are, losing great deal of their
passenger business. Frank, the Astor
house broker, said to-day that instructions
have been given to all ticket agents to use
all efforts to secure passenger business for
the Baltimore & Ohio. and they would be
well paid for their trouble. They are fol-
lowing these instructions and do not let
passenger leave the office to go by any other
line, no matter what concessions they have
to make. So far the cut is limited to So
in excess Of the regular SIS cut to Chicago
and an additional cut of $40 to far West
ern points. Freight Agent Rose of the
Baltimore 81 Ohio says that no arrange
ment has yet been made by that company
for handling freight from this city.

A FrirhtfuI Disaster.

LONDON. Aug. 21.-A dispatch from st.
Petersburg says that a passenger steamer
plying on the river Volga at Saratov, CAPT.
tai of the province of Saratov. in
Russia, was burned to-day and that 200
lives were lost.
Later advices from st. Petersburg say
that the steamer which was burned OH the
Volga to-day was the Vera, belonging to
the Samolet company, and bound from As
trachan up the river. The fire was caused
by the fall of a gang lamp in the saloon.
The wood work was ignited, and ali efforts
to quench the flames were unavailing.
The passengers, all of whom were in bed
at the time the fire broke out, rushed
to the deck, and many of them,
panic stricken, sprang overheard. The
captain ordered the vessel to run ashore.
This was done, but while the bow became
imbedded in the bank the stern remained in
deep water, and the passengers were still
obliged to swim ashore. Many persons
lost their lives by being struck by tables
and chairs which were thrown from the
vessel to aid the struggling swimmers in
the water. Owing to failure to stop the
engines, the water was churned up by the
vessels wheels, rendering more difficult the
task of the rescuers who put out from shore
to save the drowning passengers.
