due Difference to its esteemed contcm-
porares, the Scimidr is constrained 10 be-
licvc that they have been made the vic.
Tins Of an idle rumor, originating In the
brain OF some wild, weird, tin-horn politi-
clan. No one has ever suspected Senator
Harris OF being a fool, aud to argue
that on the eve OF senatorial

imperiled lac would 90 out OF his
way TO invite the hostility Of man 80

10 argue that Senator Harris IN about 10

Senator Harris that lac has no strength to

H'ORDS OF KARNING.

THERE seems 10 be disposition on the
part OF many Democratic aspirants for Of
flee in Tennessee, and Of many oil the
working" element as well, TO take for
granted that big Democratic majority
next fall is assured whatever the complex
ion the fight may take and whoever may
be nominated. AS consequence we pre-
ceive the manifestation Of a certain spirit
OF factional recklessness that is most de-
plorablc. There should be no more OF
this. II must be borne in mind
that there are good Democrats who are
Observation-Disclosures, and good Democrats
who arc Prohibitionists; that there are
good Democrats who are for the Blair
bill and good Democrats who are against
II, and in addition there Nre many good
Democrats enrolled in the ranks OF the
WheelcIs, who are saying little, but who
keep on saving wood. But in the com
ing campaign there viii be Presidency
at stake, and in the election every
Democratic vote in Tennessee will
be wanted. Our house must b,
kept in thorough order and II should
be alive with the enthusiasm Of u com
ploic unncaiion in the face OF the Re
publican foe. II is no time for the excr
else of rcvenges and no time for the stmu
laiion Of latent grudgos. Minorities mus
have fair play. Men take defeat grace
fully only when they recognize that the
victory has been fairly won. To brow
beat, 10 bulldolc and TO gag ar,
not Democratic methods. Democrats ar,
mover easily whipped into line, parlicu
larry Tennessee Democrats. The thing to b,
done next fall is TO beat the Republican
party, and 10 beat II badly The platform
will be that Of the 81. Louis Convention
with the incidental additions OF the Stat,
platform. In the proceedings preliminary
20 the State Convention, cXtrancOus ant
disturbing issues should be eliminated
that satisfactory nominations may be had
We don't want any such ill-icclng en-
pcndcrcd in Tennessee as has been deyel
opcd in Louisiana. We don't want TO &c,
men punished gratuiously. We dom
want TO see any exhibition Of bosssm
