Gov. Bob TAYLOR.

To judge from the noise made by a
few anti-Taylor papers in East Ten
nessee, one not acquainted with the
facts would think that Governor Bob
was not in the race. The truth is, Gov.
Taylor is the choice of the people and
the bitter and unreasonable talk of
the opposition is disgusting unpre-
jndiced Democrats. 'ris the same old
fight of 1886, with the addition of a
few disappointed Office seekers East
Tennessee Democrats should remem-
ber that the candidates. of Hons. John
Allison and Tom Mcconnell are the
merest tarces; that they have no
chance whatever, and that they can
only hope TO injure Gov. Taylor and
give the nomination to Middle or
West Tennessee.
More papers have declared for Gov.
Taylor than for all the other candi.
dates. I'm fact the leading candidates
of 1885 against Taylor are not in the
field now, and there is no formidable
aspirant for the opposition to support.
The malcontents are hoping for a
dark horse" to help them out OF their
dilemma.-BristOl Reporter.

The Democratic Advantage.

The efforts Of the Republican poll
ticians to show that the Democratic
party is embarrassed and "on the run"
are not likely to be crowned with sue
cess. They are intended mainly to
conceal the fact that the Republicans
themselves are in a state OF disorgan-
ization and on the verge Of panic.
The failure OF the Florence letter to
settle Mr., Blaine's position in the
coming canvass, the lukewarmness
with which Mr.. Sherman's name has
been received, and the scattering
search for Presidential candidate
among the lesser lights of the political
armament, show that the Republicans
are much worse off than the Demo
Gratis.
In fact, the Democrats are in splen.
did fighting condition. Republican
managers should not fatter them
selves with the notion that Mr.. Cleve.
land has committed his party to a
losing platform, or that the Democ.
racy is confined in its choice to man
whose nomination means defeat. The
tariff is an embarrassing issue, but the
Republican candidate, whoever ht
may be, will have at least half of the
embarrassment in the Presidentia
campaign of this year.
I'll ere are other questions which art
always with us in this country. Tht

believes that the best Government i

Greenvlllo News.

Mr.. CIeveland's proverbial good luck
sticks to him. He went away from
Washington when the Democratic
committee was to meet, and was be-
rated for it. The committee has met,
and every one OF its actions have been
for the advancement Of Administra.
tion's cause. 1t is now seen that it
was n wise thing in Mr.. Cleveland to
60 away from Washington when he
did.
The committee meeting was looked
on to make new developments in the
preside initial contest 1t was a con.
gress of party leaders from every
State and Territory, and might have
been trusted to develop any presiden-
tial hooms lying around loose. But

1884 than that of honesty in
the Executive Department. In that
regard esI eeially the will of the poo.
pie has Leen carried out to the letter,
The Administration Of Mr.. Cleveland
has been free from corruption and
scandal, and it has been final and
explicit rebuke to the demagogues who
insisted that the return Of the Democ.
racy to power would bring about fin,
ancial, moral and social revulsion.
The great gun with which the Repub-
lican party has been playing for years
on the timidity of capital, the preju-
dices OF society, and the ignorance of
the lowly has been spiked. Il will not
be fired in this year 1888.
The prominent association OF Mr..
Cleveland with the demonstration of
the Democratic fitness for authority
makes him dangerous man--not to
the Democracy, as the Republican
leaders profess to belieye-but to any
man the Republicans may place in
the field for the Presidency, In the
matter Of the reduction of taxation
Mr.. Cleveland has written nothing
and said nothing that will prevent
him from approving any just bill
which Congress may agree upon, No
distortion o. his message to Congress
can disturb Mr.. Cleveland in that po-
sition. He is for the abolition OF un.
necessary burdens on the people in
the best manner attainable. He will
do his share il the Democratic House
and the Republican Senate do their
part.
His course in this, as we'll as his
honesty and simplicity in Office, will
give him tremendous orce before
the people, in the event OF his renomi-
nation and, il he shall not be renom-
mated, the advantage will be trans
mitted to the man who shall be in
trusted with the Democratic standard.
In any event, the Democrats this year
will take their turn at pointing with
pride" They will show clean Ad-
ministration, and their pride will just
ly swell, and their fingers point with
added emphasis, when they reflect on
the fact that the more Democrats that
have been put in place the cleaner the
Administration has become Cincin.

convention its favortc son. There
will be from five to forty men placed
in nomination, and, after ballotting
for three or four days, some one will
get up and move that James G. Blaine
be nominated by acclamation. This
motion will be carried with a great
hurrah. Blaine will accept. Harri.

more work than has ever been done
n.the same length Of time in the his
tory of the office.
Quite number OF republican papers
have been foolish enough to charge
Pension Commissioner Black with
having shown favorltelsm in allowing
the amounts of pensions to soldiers
living in democratic states. A table
has been issued by the Pension Office,
showing the average pension paid
each soldier in each State and Terrific
ry, 1t shows that the largest average
amounts are paid to soldiers who are
residents OF the States and Territories
which have always given republican
majorities. Bring in another republi-
can canard.
The worst squelched man in the
House is Mr. Boutelle, of Maine the
gentleman who recently got rampant
over the proposition to return the
captured Confederate battle flags to
their original owners, and who want
ed the Secretary Of War to furnish the
House with q detailed statement Of
everything he knew about these flags
The statement has reached the House.
That is what squelched B .utelle. 1t
contained more information than he
wanted. 1t showed that the demo.
cratic administration had taken much
care of the flags than the republicans
ever did, and further that not a CON
federate flag, with one exception, and
that was loaned to be returned, had
ever left the possession of the War
Department under this administra-
tion.
The negotiation of the Fisheries
treaty would alone of itself be a suffi-
cient reason for the people to keep the
Government in the hands OF the dem

by the treaty has been a constant
source of worry to this country for
for more than hundred years, and
many attempts have been at settlement
but none 50 favorable to this country

year he proposed to support Cleveland

lieved there were enough men just
