IN THE election two years ago the
Republican candidate for Governor
received a majority in this congress
sional district, while the Hon. John
R. Neal carried the district by over
four hundred votes. Is not this a
very strong argument in favor of his
denomination? Would it be
avery safe plan to swap off a sure
winning horse for a doubtful one
with such state of affairs?

SOME of the papers in the fifth dis
trict are clamoring for a primary
election to name the Democratic cam
didate for Congress. 1t is certainly
a much better way Of obtaining the
true sentiments of voters than the
customary convention. 1t is perhaps
little more work and trouble than
convention, but it gives each can
didate full justice, which is some
thing that conventions frequently
don't do. We are glad to see the
sentiment in favor Of primary cleo
lions growing in this state.

The language of the st. Louis
platform is clear and unmistakable
for tariff revision, reform and re-
duction, and the strained efforts of
the Nashville American to make it
read otherwise are ridiculously silly.
The Democratic party is before the
country on a clean cut declaration for
a tariff which will supply the needs
of the government, economically adj
minstered, and no more, and on this
policy it must stand or fall in the
coming struggle, Will the pig-iron
protective organs learn to dance to
this music or continue as disturbing
elements in the party by trying to
elevate their particular views over
the party platform
