After His Record.

The following from the ObiOn
Democrat of last week is calculated
to lead to an inquiry as to whether
Mr.. Buchanan is a Democrat of the
"upper-case'' variety
We have before us a ballot of the
National Union Labor Ticket" for
1888, which reads: "Fur President,
Alison j. Streeter, Of Illinois; for
Vice President, Chas. Il. Cunning
ham, of Arkansas" Then follows a
list of electors for Tennessee, which
Is headed with the name of "Hon. j.
p. Buchanan, Of Murfreesboro."
The ticket received 81 votes in Brad
ley, 8 in James, | in Lake, and Il in
Meigs-4S in all. Mr.. Buchanan is
now Il candidate for the Democratic
nomination for Governor of Tennes-
see. We have no desire to misrep-
resent Mr.. Buchanan, but wish to
respectfully inquire ii his name was
used on the "National Union Labor
Ticket" with his knowledge and con-
sent. Perhaps the use of his name
was unauthorized otherwise his
claims deserve no consideration al
the hands of Democratic voters.

Our correspondent writes us that
the Baxter men made a strong fight
for instructions for their favorite as

were largely in the majority. No

Democratic by majorities ranging
