GET DOWN TO WORK.

GET DOWN TO WORK.
Jackson Dispatch Let the Democ-
racy in every county in the State get
down to solid work. Let the motto
Of the young Democracy IN this can
vass be 10000 for Bob:Taylor.
WANTS A BETTER SCHOOL LAW.
Tracy City News: Wanted, by the
State Of Tennessee, a Legislature
which can appreciate the necessity for
good common school law, and sup
ply the want.
OLD ENOUGH TO BE WEANED.
Memphis Avalanche: 1t is a grow
ing impression that our infant indus
tries, having cut their eye teeth, are
old enough to be weaned. They
should give the pap producer a
chance now.
WEAVING ITS BURIAL ROBE.
GAINESVILLE Chronicle: Still with
out an issue, the dying groans of the
G. o. p. are borne on every breeze.
When the final struggle is over the
defunct old carcass will wrap the
drapery of the bloody shirt about it,
and lie down to numberless years of
undisturbed oblivion.
SOUR GRAPES.
Memphis Avalanche: The Ava
lanche advises those of its rural Dem
ocratic exchanges which continue to
urge Federal aid to education, to read
the platform adopted at Nashville.
The Avalanche, which looked long
ingly toward the suspended seventy
millions at one time, is now of the
opinion that "those grapes are sour,
anyhow"
CHARACTERISTIC OF PROTECTION
lists.
Memphis Avalanche: The weak
ness of Mr.. Randall's speech on the
Mills bill lies in the fact that he ig-
nores the interests of every class in
the country except the manufacture
ing class. And yet there are several
persons, North and South, engaged
in agriculture and other unprotected
industries.
BOB Is A POWER.
Dresden Enterprise: Bob was the
idol of his party in 1886 and we pre-
dict that when he gets on his wal
paint and gets to slashing the Repub
lican party from the stump, in his
peculiarly winning style, the white
roses will be as numerous this cam
paign as they were the last. There is
something in Bob Taylor that makes
him a power in the political field.
WILL PROFIT BY EXPERIENCE.
Tullahoma Guardian: The expert
ence through which our young gov
ernor has been called to pass during
his first term will probably be worth
a great deal to him hereafter. HI
knows thing or two nov
that he did not dream of two year
ago, and will be better qualified t.
Judge of men and things as well as Il
discharge the duties of his Office thar
before that experience came. AnC
he will be less liable to make mis-
takes.
GALL INTO LINE"
GAINESVILLE Chronicle: The watcl
word is "fall into line" Bob Taylo
is the nominee of the democrati
party for the Office of Governor ant
the good of the party is paramount t
any mans individual preferences. /
majority of the democracy in couven
ton assembled have said that Taylo
shall be the standard bearer in tn
coming contest, and as such, it is tn
duty of every loyal democrat to rail-
to his support. We were all entitle
to preferences before the convention
of the party. Now, let all dissension
cease.
ONLY THREE COURSES.
Fayetteville Observer: A youn
editor of Texas rushes into print owe
his own signature, to declare tha
some one offered him a bride, an
that he spurned it. The spurnin
might have been all right, but tn
publication was all wrong. No on
ever makes anything in this countr
by publicly announcing that he wf
