THE New Orleans Times Democra

THE New Orleans Times Democrat
has lengthy editorial on the
demon Dress" which it. character
ICES as the sister of "Demon Drink"
1t says: 1t is not too much to say
that most of the horrible crimes that
are committed have their origin in
Demon Drink; but cannot Demon
Dress show dark record of its own,
of woe and dishonor, of ruined lives
and homes made desolate? A father
robbing his employer that he may
deck out his daughter in a man
ner totally unbeftting her circum-
stances and station. A husband en-
bezzling the funds intrusted to him,
either through weak love for his wife,
pride in her beauty, or to rid himself
of her angry complaints and pertina-
cious demands. A wife deserving her
husband and children, because her
cravings for luxury of apparel cannot
be gratified in life of poverty and
duty. A young girl rebellingagainst
the narrow means which decree that
her lovliness of form and feature
must go meanly arrayed, and SO, led
by restless vanity disappearing in the
whirlpool ofsin.

filed the position Of president Of the
Tennessee Press Association, and
some years ago ascted as door-keeper
of the State Senate. He removed
from Springfield to Florida FIVE years
ago, but came back to Tennessee less
than two years afterwards and again
took charge of the Record. Mr..
Thomas, by strict attention to his
duties as an editor, made the Record
an excellent local newspaper. He
was thoroughly conscientious in
everything that he did, proved HIM
self a true friend and was always a
genial gentleman.

PRIMARIES.

"This is the only county in Ten
nessee where a primary has been
asked and refused. democrat.
Our neighbor forgets Maury county,
where Mr.. Carmack, of the Nashville
Democrat, the mouth-piece Ex-senator
Harris, was in the convention and by
his "masterly EFFORT succeeded in
pursuading the convention not only
that the people of Maury county
should have no voice in the selection
of the senator, but that their repre-
sentatives should not. Gen. Polk
was candidate for State Senator and
a large majority of the delegates were
for him, in fact all parties conceded
his nomination. Mr.. Carmack, how
ever, succeeded in instructlng for
Harris, over the protest of Polk and
others, who urged primary election
for instructions, and Gen. Polk with
drew his name. This is the same
Carmack who urged that the only
fair course in Davidson county was
to hold primary election.
The primaries in Davidson, Stewart
and Chatham were called by the
conventions and not by the executive
committees of the counties. fla pri-
mary was desired in Montgomery
county it should have been called by
the convention. 1t is the duty OF the
Executive Committee to carry out
the wishes and will of the party as
expressed in its convention. The
senatorial fight was as hot when the
convention met as now, and the fail
ure of the convention to take action
on a primary justifes the committee
in the opinion that it was not the
desire of the party to have an angry
contest between Democrats in an
election when the party should pre-
sent united front to the enemy.
The CHRONICLE sees nothing "auto-
cratic" in the action of the committee
in trying to carry out the wishes OF
the party, the only body authorized
to express it's wish being its duly
called and representative convention.

The Republican party, under its
present managers, repudiates the doc
trines enunciated in its past platforms
and advocated by its founders and
greatest leaders. Here is what Presi-
dent Grant said in his Annua! Mes
sage, in December, 1875: "Many
duties now collected might
be RENTED : would men,
ton those articles which enter into
manufactures of all sorts n
These duties not only come from the
consumers at home, but act as pro-
lection to foreign manufacturers"

Esq. l. P. Howard in resigning his
place on the Democratic Executive
Committee. He was appointed a

 It is reported that one of the town of. ticers while examining 'Batten mill bridge fell through, thus taking bath. Not be- ing satisfied with one, while fishing for his hat, he slipped and took the second one. We hope the rest of the bridges in town are in better condition.

RAIDED.

Last night was evidently bad night for
the joint men; four places were visited by
the officers, and as many bar keepers, with
the stock in trade, fell into their hands.
A place on North Main that in the past
figured as a restaurant, was swooped down
upon by Officer Dennis, and besides the
bar keeper about four cases of beer was
taken. John Nau's old place was called
upon, and the result was about the same
as at the North Main street establishments
In the same block was captured the CAN'T
brothers establishment. Further out on
East Douglas the finest of all establish
ments was visited, the Jake Eckert place
The interior furnishing was in striking
contrast with the average Kansas joint;
large plate glass mirrors, fine counters and
everything else in keeping. Still there
was found only little whisky, less wine
and about the average two cases of beer
found in the less pretentious establish
ments. The confiscated property was
placed by Officer Vic. Haynes, assisted by
other officers, into the store room az pres
ent appropriated 10 such oontraband
articles.
