WINGED that his nomination will re-
suit in the loss of the District to
the Democrats. We favor the nomi-
nation of Hon. John r. Neal because
we believe majority of the Demo
Gratis of Warren county are for him,
and because we believe he is the only
man the Democrats can find to take
the race who can win it. He carried
the District two years ago by a ma
jority of 34S, while the Republican
candidate for Governor carried it by
a majority of four. If Mr.. Snodgrass
should receive the nomination land
we are hopeful now that he will not,
the editor of the STANDARD will vote
for him, but his nomination will not
alter our opinion of his very slim
chances for success. We have long
since ceased to believe that the Dem
ocratic party is infallible in its wis
dom. Political parties are but aggre-
cations of humanity, and like their
constituent elements, they make mis-
takes sometimes. In our humble
opinion it would be very great mis-
take for the Democrats Of this Dis
trict to fail to re-nominate Hon. John
r. Neal for Congress. We have had
no communication whatever with
Col. Neal regarding the matter, or
with anyone authorized to speak for
him. We believe that he really de-
sires to retire from the position, but
at the same time we, in common
with Mr.. Snodgrass' friends, know
that Col. Neal could not and would
not decline the race if nominated.
We are grateful to the Era for its
kindly admonition and counsel but it
will have to trim its sails to a differ
ent course than it has pursued for the
last few years before we can follow
its lead, or even listen to its counsel.

THE Lynchburg Virginian pub
lished pitteous wall for the repeal
of the tobacco tax, and sends it out to
the newspapers all over the South,
we presume, printed on slip and
enclosed in an envelope. In case of
the failure of the Mills bill, it wants
the Democrats of the House of Rep
resentatives to pass a simple resolu-
ton repeating the tobacco tax. In
the course of the article the Virginian
says: at cannot be disguised that
the people of the tobacco States are
getting FESTIVE. Petition after petit
ton from planters and manufacturers
have gone to Congress for relief. They
have seen the business on which they
rely for support reduced to state of
prostration, not paying for the actual
cost of producing and manufac-
ture. They have seen their toll go
unrewarded or pay the scantiest and
most meagre returns" and further
on it again says: ut is simply an
outrage that this tax is kept on a
great and languishing industry. 1t
is simply preposterous because it is
not needed. 1t is simply cruel be-
cause it wrings from the sweat and
toll of honest labor all the profit
there is in it," If there are two
articles in the world that can stand
taxation, they are whisky and tobac-
co. The consumer pays the tax, and
the repeal of the tax would simply
reduce the cost of the articles to the
consumer the amount Of the tax.
How the planters and manufacturers
of tobacco are to be affected one way
or the other by the repeal Of the tax
we are unable to see, We cannot see
| how the tax on tobacco can cut the
slightest figure in "the actual cost of
production and manufacture" The
tax is simply added to the price of
the tobacco, and carried with it until
paid by the consumer, and we cannot
discern how it can in the least meas
ure affect the profits of either the pro-
ducers or manufacturers, further than
they are themselves consumers.

The Congressional Race.

In his speech before the county con-
ventiOn here, Mr.. Snodgrass claimed
that if he got this county he would
only lack eighteen votes of the nomi-
nation on first ballot. The following
dispatch from Chattanooga to the
Nashville Democrat puts the matter
in quite a different status:
CHATTANOOGA, TENN, July o.
Great interest is being taken here in
the result of the Third District con-
gressional convention, which meets
at McMinnville on the 18th inst.
The Democracy of this, Hamilton,
County, is solid for Col. Creed f.
Bates, and his friends confidently
believe that he will have a majority
of the delegates when the convention
assemblies. According to their figures
Col. Bates will have 81 votes on the
start, and Hon. Henry Snodgrass OF
Sparta, White County, Co.. 1t will
require9S votes to nominate, and as
the counties on the Cumberland
plateau are mostly opposed to Bates
the fight for the nomination may be
a bitter one, and there is a remote
possibility that Hon. John r. Neal
will be renOminated and prevailed
upon to accept. 1t looks like the old
time fight of the outside counties
against Hamilton again.

THE Nashville Democrat of We'd
nesday contains lengthy interview
with Judge Frank T, Reid, in which
that gentleman states that he will
support Cleveland and Thurman in
the coming campaign. Judge Reid
has been lifelong Republican, and
it will be remembered that he made
the race as the Republican candidate
for Governor against Gen. VIM.
B. Bate in 1884. His reason for for
saking the Republican party is the
position of that party. on the tariff.
After patient and thorough study
of the question he has reached the
conclusion that tariff for protection
is perversicn of the taxing power of
the government.

Col. Neal has declared that in no
event will he become a candidate for
reelection to Congress. If the con-
vention should nominate him he
would not accept, and his true
friends will not disregard his wishes
by attempting to effect his nomina-
tion.--New Era.
The above extract is very cleverly
worded. 1t is given as mere matter
of opinion that he would not accept if
nominated, and not as coming from
Col. Neal. He has never said that he
would not accept the nomination if
rendered him, and no true servant of
the people in his position could
afford to make such declaration.
Having been honored by the Democ-
racy with the elevation to this office,
he owes it to them to serve them
there as long as they want him.
Gen. Dibrell made the same kind of
promises that Col. Neal did, not to
be an applicant for the nomination,
but Notwithstanding this he was
nominated and elected to succeed
himself four different times.

THE Democratic convention of
Sequachee county, held on the I'd
inst, took vote on candidates for
congress with the following result:
Neal GA, Bates SO, Snodgrass ~. John
r. Neal was decided the first choice
Of the county and Creed F. Bates
second and the delegates instructed
to SO cast the vote of the county in

The Southern Standard seems very
much disgruntled over the fact that
Hon. John r. Neal will not be a can
didate for congress this year, and
simply because its editor is opposed
to Snodgrass, he continues to howl
over the instructions given by the
Democrats of that county to its
delegates, and predicts in conse-
quence, a victory for the Republicans
in the congressional fight in this
district. The Standard must remem-
Der that it is not the Democracy of
the Third district, nor is the Democ-
racy of the Third district subservient
to the wishes of the Standard. They
will nominate II. G. Snodgrass for
congress and will elect him by a good
majority, the Standard to the con-
trary, OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES State
and Farm.
The STANDARD is not the least bit
disgruntled, but on the other hand we
are very much gratified over the fast
accommodating evidence that Hon.
John r. Neal is the first choice of a
majority of the Democrats of the
District for congress. No paper in
the District will accept the result of
the convention with more compla-
cency than the STANDARD. Our eX-
pOsure of Mr.. Snodgrass' weakness
in the District is bringing forth some
very pitiful howls from the organs
which are supporting him, all of
which is but convincing evidence of
the correctness of our position.
Manchester Times: The Third Con-
gressiOnal District is very close
politically, and it will require united
action on the part Of Democrats to
save it this year, The present Con-
gresham, Hon. John r. Neal, who
has twice been elected, is not a
candidate for reelection, but would
it not be wise to re-nominate him,
anyway? He having given Satisfac-
ton to the people, and being unques-
tiOnably the strongest man in his
party, would he more likely to carry
the district than any other man who
could be nominated.
