WHO'S RUNNING THE DEMoCRTIc
PARTYP

Under the head of "Call Meeting"
in the Franklin Williamson county,
Appeal appears the following an
nouncement:
We are requested to announce that
n meeting Of the Democratic voters
of the Ninth civil district, friendly
to the nomination of Josiah Patter-
son for Governor, will be held at the
court house at 5 p. m. on Saturday,
April 10Th, for the purpose of franz
ing ticket for delegates to the State
convention, and for conference as to
course of action.
There is a good deal of cheek in
this. The question arises, who is
running the Democratic party of
Tennessee? Can it be true, as the
Herald charges, that the Tennessee
Coal d Iron Company, penitentiary
lessees, the American and other COM
binations have organized political
trust, to work the Democratic party
in the "debauching' business, as Mr..
Depew styles it, and run the State
government with their upper case
candidate at the head of affairs ?
Verify, it is seldom so much audaci-
ty as appears in the above is OBJ
served iii political movements.
1T seems that the Patterson heelers
have determined to take charge of
the party and run the party and run
the whole business, and no one else
need apply. 1t is already claimed
that Sumner county has been fixed,
through certain influences, for Patter-
son, and while the delegation APP
pointed Monday was not instructed,
the whole thing was cut and dried
for Patterson and that county will
give him Il solid vote.
Since so much is said about Uncle
Josiah's pure upper case Democracy
and the great amount of service he
has done for the party, would it not
be well for his admiring friends to
bring out his legislative record, the
only public service he has been
charged with, and hold it up to the
light as shining example. This is
the way to show his Democracy and
what he has uone for the people.
The fact that he solicited and re-
ceived the appointment as elector to
canvass the State, and the further
fact that he worked his rabbit foot to
burst up the party in Memphis, does
not not entitle him to the Democrat
ic nomination for Governor. Let
him show his fruits. In the mean
while farmers aud all Democrats
should be careful not to be taken in
and bamboozled by political heelers

THE DARK HORSES.

The Memphis Scimitar concludes
an editorial ON the campaign in the
following words;
The four avowed candidates will
do all the hustling but at the same
time there are number Of dark
horses who will watch the contest
through field glasses and stand ready
to rush to the front and immediate
themselves upon the altar OF
their party il it becomes necessary
by reason of complications growing
out of the candidacy of the Big Four.
Among them is Judge Benz. Lea,
who might supplant our Uncle JOSH
ah ; Tom OConncll, who would fill
Clapp's shoes; Hon. w. Il Caldwell
is about the size OF Jere Baxter; and
VIM. Daniel, who is pretty
near as much Of hay-Seed as Bro.
Buchanan, and even as Bro. Me
Dowell, coaches Bro. Burch, so could
Bro. Ingram coach Mr.. Daniel.
Mr.. Daniel don't need any coach
ing. He is neither asking nor seek
ing the nomination, and will hardly
be induced to enter the scramble ;
but mind, honey, the eyes of the
people are upon him; he is deeply
rooted in The minds and hearts of
the hay-seed and all Democrats who
want broad minded, level headed,
impartial business Governor, and the
the office is nosing around nightly
for lust such man.

THE FIRST aUBERNAroR1A1 GUN

Uncle Josiah opened his campaign
at Franklin Monday. 1t was County
court day and the speaker had a
splendid audience, so says the APP
peal, and was frequently interrupted
by bursts Of applause. After setting
himself up as the embodiment of
pure Democracy, etc, he gave the
farmers a little sass. He approved
the organized effort on the part of
farmers to secure the advantages OF
their labor, and he would be glad
that every farmer in the State were
Il member, but thought the Alliance
should wheel into line with Democ-
racy, VIII ch has always been the par
ty of the people.
Uncle Josiah evidently don't con-
slider Brother McDowell's candidate,
the dashing young Clapp, and Cousin
jeremiah in line with Democracy.
He may be justified in such con-
clusion, or all this writer knows,
but he is mighty mistaken as regards
the farmers or the Alliance they
have never been out OF line with old
fashioned Democracy. How Uncle
Josiah's upper case kind will strike
them, is Il question to be considered
and decided later on.

The Republicans in Congress are
pursuing two ideas alone. One is to
bride the soldier vote and its influ-
ence by shoveling out all the money
in the treasury to them in the way
Of pensions and tax the people for

the STAT frying" trusts and other
combinations for the money they
pour out to carry the elections by a

The Business Mems Excursion

being the first excursion Of the kind ever leaving
Washington.
One of the attractive features of the party to
those who enjoy good repast is that Mr. G.. w.
Driver will have a mammoth striped bass,
weighing seventy pounds, and two shad frozen
in a block of crystal ice, to be carried on the
train to Lincoln, as it will be great curiosity
to the people Of the West, and will be served at
the banquet given by the citizens and the Board
Of Trade on the evening Of the 23d to the ex-
cursionists.
The party will stop one day in Chicago as
they return at the Palmer House.
Those receiving invitations will call or send to
