Ne none the Pres Of Tennesgee

We hope the Press of Tennessee
will speak out on the proposition of
no more joint canvasses by candI-
dates for Governor in Tennessee.
The democrats in this state have
been furnishing audiences for Re
publican ca ndIdates long enough.
That the democratic candidates
never get an opportunity of address
ing the masses of the Republican
voters, is we'll known. We favor
allowing the Republican candidate
to flock around over the state by
himself The canvass made by
Gov. Bate in 1882 was the most
s9ectiye one ever made In this
state. Jet us try it again this fail.

The people admire bold, fearless
men who have convictions, and dare
to declare them on all proper occa-
sions. This is the great secret of
President Cleveland's popularity
The people should be careful to
select such men to serve them in all
public places, They can admire
such an one, even if he disagrees
with them. It is none the less i'm
portant to select men whose opin-
ions, on all public questions, are in
accord with the people he is to repre-
sent. Only such can truly represent
their constituents.

BLAIR BILL.

The visiting teachers at the Boli-
var Institute this week We're unani-
mousIy in favor of the Blair Bill.
They echo the sentiment of the peo~
pie and know the needs of the
children. '-Forked Deer Blade.
The only fact stated IN the above
is false, So far from the teachers at
the Institute here being unanimous
Iy 10 favor Of the Blair Bill, the fact
is that they were almostsold against
it. OF the 50 teachers enrolled, it
Is known that large majority of
them were out-spOken against it,
and it is not known that more than
6 or of them were in favor of it.
Although Capt. Smith had intro
duced resolutions endorsing the
Bill every where else he lad held
Institutes, he did not dare do it here.
And he did not do so here simply
because he knew they would be voted
down ten to one. If the Blade re-
ceived information that the teach
ers at the Institute here were unani-
mously for the Blair Bill, or that
more than One-fifth of them were
for it, its informant either, wilfuly
or ignorantly told it a false hood.
If the Blade was simply guessing al
it, it Is the poorest guesser we ever
heard of. Was the Blade guessing
or did some one really give 1t any
such information?

1t is not alone in Tennessee that
Republicans have been straddling
the liquor question. The Republi-
cans of Iowa and of Rhode Island
have been playing fast and loose
with the question, trying to pass
laws to catch the temperance element
and then to practically annul them
by cleverly-devised schemes OF
evasion. This is a notorious char
acteristic of the party of Great
Moral Ideas, in whatever State ii
may exist. Fraud, Pharisaism and
canting long-faced hypocrisy, are
woven into the warp and wool of Its
character. The Republican party
of Tennessee partakes of these char
acteristics and exemplifes them in
their most aggravated aud DISCUS
ting type. 1t is essentially, as a
party without principles, ideas or
purposes, other than the one of get
ting a good grip on the public offices
and keeping it. But the G. 0. p. of
Tennessee cannot deceive the peot
pie with their blatant hypocrisy

case at Nashville in which he held
that all druggists are liable to a
state tax of 5000 per year for 1882,
1888, 1884, and 1885. This is an
important ease and is one in which
every druggist IN Tennessee is
deeply interested. The case goes to

THE LATE ISRAEL FISHER.
(Oct. lStll,)

An inquest was held on Saturday

the death of the late Israel Fisher.
The following were the jury: Henry
j. Hart, G. Vitrans, Geo. Engel-
hardt, Henry f. Devoll, John Ma
COON and James Welsh. The fol-
lowing verdict was rendered.
"That Israel Fisher came to his
death the 14th day of October,
1886, by taking some unknown
poison from some source obtained
unknown to us outside of the dis
pensary of the Branch Hospital, as
extra precaution had been taken by
the Sisters and medical attendant to
guard against any such casualty"
The deceased had made it known
that he would commit suicide the
first opportunity he had. He also
promised to leave an explanation of
his conduct. The following is the
substance of document found
amongst his papers 8
