be instructed, and by the public OF
course these poll lists giving the
name of each voter, will be carefully

they refused to authorize bitter and

when all should be united and fight

his duty to turn out and give one

their duty will the responsibility all.

SENATOR HARRIS is now in Ten
nsssee taking part in the canvass o.
the state, ostensibly in behalf of the
Democratic party, but, we suspect,
much more earnestly in behalf OF
Isham G. Harris. We say this be-
cause of the fact that Senator Harris
has paid very little attention to any
Tennessee campaign except in years
when canvass had to be made for
Senator and when he was in the field
as a candidate, and because ofthis Pc
culiarity, of his action we have been
led to the conclusion that it was not
so much the success of the Democratic
party which he had at heart as that
of himself individually. We don't
IIoubt his fealty to the patty at all
but we place his fealty az grounded
on a supreme desire for his own adj
vancement and the success of the
party as altogether secondary. We
might give illustrations, but forbear
at present. -Tullahoma Guardian.
