 NEW YORK Nov. 9-The campaign is over, the election of Gen. Harrison the twenty-third president of the United States is conceded by the Democratic national com mittee and the headquarters of the commit tee, at No. 10 West Twenty ninth street, are closed Chairman Brice has authorized the following statement
 1.-The National Democratic committee to- day concede the election of Gen. Harrison. When the National Democratic committees claimed the state of Nev- York, on Tuesday evening, by 10000 to 15,000 majority, the figures of the returns then received fully justified the estimate The reports from New York city and from large communities in the interior of the state showed large Demo cratic gains, and the fsrt reports from Brook l,n were to the effect that the ma jority there was 19,OO0. The telegraph wires were very crowded, and the transmission of the com mittee's bulletins to the west was consider ably delayed. There is evidently misap- prehension in some parts of the west as to the time at which this dispatch was sent"
 The Republican national executive com mittee express the belief that West Virginia has given her electoral votes to Harrison that Indiana and California are sure for the Republican ticket. and that without New York Harrison is elected. They have, of course, no doubt about New York, ard say that Harrison will have the biggest vote ill the electoral of any president for twenty five years or more The committee will maintain their present headquarters for the balance of the week. and Messrs. Quay and Dudley will probably not return home before Sunday

EDITORIAL CORRESPONDENCE.
Middleton Tenn. March 80. 1888.
Editsr Bulletin-Nsw while the
expense OF feBceing throughout the
country is made more emphatic by
the personal experience of every
farmer In the de attraction Of ii Der
and hard, disa greeable work of "a il
splitting and repairing fer this year,
1t sse@s a suitable tlwe tor few
words en- the no fence Law AMI we
woulp be glad to have an express
siOn from farmers in all parts Of the
county. We farmers complain OF
tariff, taxes, and expressions gsner-
ally but burden ourselves with the
expense of fencing which takes
more from eur pockets than any
other evil an d we are not excusable
in doing so because we have the
remedy in our own hands, A de-
decent living, dug out of farms is
not an easy task, especially when
there are SO many side track. wait
ing to switch off our change and
there is a side track on every far m
that is en- the inside of rail fence
Every time farmer puts rail en-
his farm fencs he loses one cent
unnecessarily. I wsuld not under
take the JED by calculating the csSt
offencIng in Hsrdeman county
but will take my neIghborhood of
seven farmers who represent sc
miles of rail fence. To build this
at $64 pr. mile costs 1920; this
costs very ten years or say it takes
10 pr cent annually to keep in re-
pair sr 1892, Suppose We turn out
the farms anu feace the st) OK with
500 per year and have a three
months school or something else
profitable out Of the 500. Will it
not pay better than fencing 6
farm in order 20 turn cut a dozen
razor lack hogs and csws? Sup
pose every farmer in Hardsmar
takes look at his tiMber, let hin
think whether he ever expects cat.
tie to pay enough p.sft to justify
him IN keeping more than he can
provide with pasture at small ex-
pense. Think absut the POI ker, will
he not de better and make m1re
meat and be mere tree from disease
if yoU put him in Il pasture and
feed HIM rather than let him "reot
hog or die il the woods?
Please give us your honest opin-
ions, brother farmers, aRd If 1T seem,
practicable let us take some steps
in the matter and not stand in eul
ewn light or carry burden of our
owA f1olishRess when we know it.

CLINT ATKINS.

There can no longer be any doubt as
to whether Gen. Atkins will enter
the race for the senatorship, He
has signlfed his intention to do 20
in positive and unmistakabls words,
He has decided to make the race
without even consulting Senator
Harris, lie proposes to make the
fight on his own merits, aud he eX>
poets to win. The Bulletin W as
among the first papers in
Tennessee to put forward his name
for the distinguished place of Uni~
ted States senator. We believed
him IhOn to be the best man IN the
state for the placs-we believe it
now, and will continue to believe
1t until he is elected He is a great
and grand mana m an of the pee
plea man whose heart pulsates in
unison with the masses, n man
who Loves the farmer and who stud
les the farmers interest. He is a
farmer himself, and takes pleasure
IN his fruit bearing fields, and his
grazing herds. BE is scholar,
statesman, and = gentleman He
has rendered years OF pure and able
service to his people and to the dsm~
Scratic party. As chairman of the
ways and means committee in cons
greSs he cut dswn the expenses of
the general government several
million dollars which we're saved to
the people to tighten their burdens
of taxation, He is decidedly the
peer of Harris as statesman, and
will be TsnRosses's next senator,

HARDEMAN RESOLUTIONS.

@a@a&e - &AAA@&N @aaAR@aa " d @0mNh@s
The resolutions introduced by
Capt. A. r. McNsal in the county
convention held at this place Men
day, which were UNANIMOUSLY
adopted hy saiA csnvention. and are
printed elsewhere Ia Tie Balletin,
conisii tle very cream ct G0mo-
cratic teachings. The great demo-
cratic patriarehs who were soul and
sunshine to the fathers of the repub~
lie taught the same truths. These
doctrines have Been cherished and
maintained in the bosom Of the dsm~
ocratic party all along down the IN
tervening years, ana have at all
tines found expression in the gall
liant leaders aud teachers Of ear
party. Capt. McNeal is certainly
sound and very sound upsn the
questions set forth IN these resslu :
tions, They are in perfect harmo-
NY with the views presented by the
Bulletin in its columns flom time to
time and We, therefore, endorse them
most heartily as a whole and in all
their parts. Every class of citizens
present felt that each line and word
echoed the true principles and
functions Of government. 1t was
bold manly paper, and in clear
ness of statement has no equal, exo
cept IN the message of our presiA
dent to the last congress. 1t Is a
defense Of the rights and interests
OF the people against the encroach~
ments and greed Of rings corpera~
tons, and trusts. The Bulletin IN
der its present management has con-
stantly and earnestly maintained
that the people must be protected
and must Prstec them
selves against the trIckery
and robbery of Gem binations in ev-
ery fern. Such combinations al
ways seek to make tools and slaves
of the people III order t. build up
and enrich themselves. Legisla~
ton or even license which tend to
the creation and fostering of any OF
all Of these are dangerous, aud
menace the liberties and prosperity
of the people. fhe chief object Of
the different agricultural assecia-
items Of our country Is to protect
t hsnselyes against the sneroach-
msnts of organized power. High
tariff and majority Of the subsidy
schemes operate to the favoring of
the few to the injury and inpover-
lshmsnt OF the many. Illustrations
Of these facts, and arguments in
su pport Of their correctness haye
been presented by the Bulletin IL
| its readers so often that we will no
tax this article with any effort 0.
that kind.
The Hardeman resolutions, in
troduced by McEeal, will be cor
daily seconded by every wheeler anC
democrat in old Hardeman.

ated them; but we bel ieve that the
grswth of communism and social
ism in eur land, AID the complaints
Of Ia Dor against organized capital,
have been for the NEST part caused
by the greedy snerOachmsnts Of
corporate power, and the swindhng
growth of nonopsly in commercial
com binatisns and trusts.
We believe the great conserva tive
element IN the land, is represented
by individual fierce and energy, and
ir ne sense represented by corporate
or commercial combinations which
absorb all profits for the few and
tend to monopoly And the over
whslming majority Of this cOnserVa~
tive element are the tillers Of the
ground.
We utterly rOpudlate the idea
that any action in politics or legis-
latlon should be demanded for any
class Of men or any kind Of special
interests. For the farmers of the
country and others whs represent
individual force and energy, ana
have not gene ints pools and trusts
fer profit; We ask simply justice
frsm eur Government Sc that fair
dealing and comnsn honesty may
80 abroad III the land, and 50 that
the multitude shall not be robbed
under color Of law to enrich a few
under the twin banners of pseudo
develop nsnt and sham progress,
The following resolution WAS efer~
ed by A. j. Coates and amended on
motion OF A. T. Men cal. The
amend resolution was adopted as
follows:

The OomplexioB of tie Delegates.
The Hardeman delegation to the
gubernatorial convention stands
about ss follows: Mcdonnell 40.
Taylor %. Total IS. Hardeman
is entitled t. Is votes in the con>
veA,io4. This VII give McCen~
NIL 10 1917 &ud Isylol TILT,
= majority OF 2 3-17 in favor of
Mcconnell. This canvass reveals a
fact which will startle some of eur
read ers. Because 1t is generally
conceded by those who were pres
snt at the convention, and is new
generally believed over the coun-
ty, that at least five Fights of the
convention we're for Taylor. The
facts show one Of four conditions:
First; that the people are mistaken
in their belief that a majority Of The
convention were for Bob. Or, end,
that mere Mcconnell men were able
and willing to go to the state con-
veation than Tayler men, and that
the districts agreed to send them
because they could go Or, 3rd,
that the III cConnell men bossed the
CO ventisn, and dictated or rather
suggested to the districts who to APP
point, Or 4th, the the MoCon.
nell meH went among the delegates,
and sskGa to be appointed themselves,
and were successful in securing
what they asked.
The most prsba bic condition we
think is the first. A delegation OF
Hardeman democrats would be too
intelligent, and have ten much
back bone to allow the mselYes boss
ed, or to appoint men who @oul d
come around and beg to be
appointed, in order to 90 up to n ASH
vile and vote the contrary to their
wishes.

The debate over the Coates ress~
luton last Monday in our county
convention rsVives the question of
giving or not giving proxYs in
HardSman- For several years a
resolution intSrdicting prOxys has
been trottOd through our convsn,
tiOns without any manifest opposl-
ton. As to whether they were best
Or not best did not become ques.
ton. But on last Monday Capt
Wilkes raised a cry against the
prohibition. Capt. McNeal, with his
usual good nature and patriotism
proposed an amendment which COM
promised by allowing prOxys to be
given, but only to delegates '0hO had
been endorsed BIZ the convention. The
amendment was accepted by strong
and onthusiastic Vots. The Bulle
tim thinks Mr.. McKsaTs amendment
proposed the true and proper dispo-
sition of the matter. The rule
of nO>prlxYs has always prac-
tically chokSd off the country pee-
pie, and farmers from having any
voice in the state or congressional
conventions A few men with money
and time and these who busy
themselves with politics attended
the conventions and voted the coun~
ty M they chose, Now, every man
who il delegate may give his
proxy, and instruct the delegate
who bears it, exactly for whom that
proxy must be veted. This gives
ysu as much voice as If you were
present en- the floor. This is right
and the Bulletin approves it. But
IL proxys were allowed to be given
prOmlscu, uslY and indiscrim inatsly
il would he a great evil. Unscru-
pulouE men who would MT have
the shadow Of a showing for indorse>

around aud gather up proxys, and
thus armed could perpetrats great
mischief IN = convention.
