Stop II.

The talk about Coy. Taylor being
in danger OF defeat is all nonsense and
ought to be stopped. 1t is we'll enough
to recognize danger when danger is
presant, and to avoid over.confidence.
But there is neither truth nor good
sense in attempting to make it appear
that he is weak and unpopular with
his party, when the fact is that Gov.
Taylor is gaining and growing in
popularity every day, and the voices OF
complaint and dissension growing
every day weaker and fewer. Nor is
Gov. Taylor fighting his battle alone,
as some would have it appear, or only
with such assistance as hurts more
than it helps. The democratic exc
cutive committee is doing valiant and
effective work for him, and every
public speech being made by every
democratic elector is Il speech for Gov.
Taylor. In his campaigning tour Gov.
Taylor has met with nothing that was
not highly encouraging. At every
appointment the crowds were unprece-
dentedly large and the enthusiasm
boundless. The people are with him
and for him. His speeches have been
soundly democratic and able exposi
tons of democratic doctrine. There
may be few democrats who do not
like him but there are none who will
not vote for him. Whatever obiec-
tions were once urged against him as
the candidate of the democratic party
no longer linger in the minds of those
who opposed him. He will receive
the united support OF the democratic
party at the polls in November. The
supporters of Cleveland will be the
supporters of Taylor and the only work
needed for Gov. Taylor is to get the
democrats to the polls. There will
not be much trouble about that, we
opine. Tennessee will be canvassed
this year as thoroughly and with as
much ability by democratic speakers
as it has ever been in its history. The
State executive committee, with Hon
Thomas L. Williams at its head, is
doing and will continue to do faithful
skillful and effective work. The State
will have more good work done in II
than it has ever before had, and the
democratic party will sweep 1t with a
great victory from one end to the 9th
er. We do not expect Grover Cleve
land to get one vote more than Gov
Taylor, and should not be surprised te
see the governor run ahead of the ma
tional ticket.
Let us hear no more of this nonsense
about Gov. Taylor being in danger o
: defeat. There is no truth in it, anC
therefore no sense in saying it.-Nosk
vile Democrat.

UNOFFICIAL news has reached here
ofthe rejection of the new Chinese
treaty by the Chinese Government.
Perhaps they expect better one if
Harrison should be elected, and have
concluded to wait and see. Senator
Coke expressed the general opinion
among the Democrats in Congress
when he said, speaking OF the matter,
Congress can regulate this question
OF Chinese immigration by legislation,
which will chop them right off short"
No regrets are expressed over the re-
lection of the treaty, because, it is be-
lieved, that legislation is after all the
best remedy.

SENATOR Vest jumped on Senator
Cullom in a manner that fairly stag
gered him, while he was prating about
civil service reform, ETC., by sending
to the Clerks desk and having read
several letters from Senator Cullom to
the late Commissioner of Pensions,
Mr.. Dudley, asking leave Of absence,
with pry, for pension examiner who
he wanted to come to Illinois and 60
on the stump. To Mr.. Cullom's cred

ny the letters, but owned right up.

Messrs. Bachman and Hughes, Re-
publican and Democratic electors for
the LIST Congressional district, spoke to
good sized crowd in Jobe's Opera
House Tuesday night last. Mr..
Hughes opened the discussion in
fair, dignifed and manly speech of
an hour, devoted mainly to the tariff
question. His arguments were clear
and his illustrations so simple that all
could understand them. His main
efforts seemed 10 be to take to the
reason and common sense of his hear
ers, while his competitor addressed
himself for the most part to their pas
sions and prejudice.
Mr.. Bachman's speech was physical
rather than intellectual, and his gyra-
tions upon the stage would put
wooden suple-jack to blush. He had
a very bad habit OF turning away from
his audiance to address his competitor
who sat behind HIM on the stage. He
totally failed to answer Mr.. Hughes
arguments on the tariff, but tried to
excuse the bad faith of his party in
failing to keep their pledges to reform
the tariff and reduce the surplus, by
declaring that the Republicans reduc-
ed the tariff in 1888, when as a mat
ter OF fact the tariff bill passed at that
time actually increased the tariff per
cent. He took advantage OF his last
speech to charge that the Democratic
platform Of 1864 had declared that the
war was failure, statement that his
competitor promptly challenged, and
Which every tdssably informed man
knows is not correct, Mr.. Bachman
failed to answer the calm, logical argu.
ments of Mr. Hughes, and the Demo-
Gratis went away well satisfied with the
result OF the evenings discussion.
