At midnight the voice exclaimed:

The invention was soon explained

SINCE Mr.. Enloe has became such
a thorn in the flesh to the Repub-
lican side of the House they have
sent down to Carroll County, where
he was raised, to see if they can
find anything upon which to attack
him. Hon. w. w. Murray, the
member of the National Republi-
can Committee of Tennessee, is
believed by Mr.. Enloe to be at the
bottom of this from several facts
which have come to his knowledge,
and Mr.. Enloe is preparing some
ammunition for him IN case it is
needed, thatwill make racyreading.
Some twenty-one years ago Enloe
defeated Murray for the Legislature
in Carroll County by an overwhelm-
ing majority, though it was a Re-
publican county, and the memory
of that canvass still wrankles in
Murray's bosom. Enloe says he is
ready for the fray.-W Washington

EnIoe Denounoes Evans.

In the House yesterday evening be-
tween Mr.. Enloe and Clay Evans.
Enloe brought UP the appointment
of the postmaster at Jackson. He
said he had proven the afidavits of
the leading Republicans at Jack
son that the endorsement of the
appointee were forgeries, prepared
by two negroes, who are both un-
der indictments for crime; that the
Postmaster General had assured,
him that no such man could be ap-
pointed, and then appointed him.
He said that his colleague, Mr..
Evans, had recommended this man
on the ground that the people Of
thatsection ought to be disciplined.
He went to Mr.. Evans and called
his attention to his language in the
endorsement that he (EEans) dis
claimed it, and said he signed it
without knowing what it con-
tanned.
After this denial, Mr.. Enloe said
he was surprised to find that
Mr.. Evans had written "a private
and confidential letter to the Post
masters General, reiterating his de-
sire not only to discipline the peo-
pie, but to discipline him for his
conduct as "a representative on the
floor, and slandering his district by
charging that he (Enloe) was
elected by ballot-box lstufing.
Mr.. Enloe said he was glad the
letter was not written by a native
Tennessean. He arraigned ENars
severely for his equivocating, his
double dealing. his secret SANDER,
and his intermeddling, and said he
had better clear his own record as
a ballot-bex stuffer before SANDER
ing other people. He (Evans)
stood charged with stufing the bal
lot-box In the fifth ward in Chatta-
nooga to get seat in the Fiftieth
Congress. No man had ever be-
fore SO misrepresented and ma
ligned the people of the third GFis-
trict.
Mr.. Evans, replying, said the
nran who stuffed the ballot-box in
Chattanooga was a fugitive from
justice.
Mr.. Enloe said he was surprised
to hear it.
Mr.. Evans charged Mr.. Enloe
with secretly getting possession Of
papers in the Post-Ofice Depart
ment and having them published
Mr.. Enloe pronounced the state
ment a &alsehood, and said he would
so denounce 1t on the floor and out
side the House. He said he had
gone and asked for the papers, as
he had a right to do, and that he
took copies IN the office Of the CHIEF
clerk, and announced his purpose
to use them to show up his fraud
Mr.. Evans claimed that his state.
ment indicated him, and Enloe
replied that it did not after the
fact that the ballot-box was stuffed
in his interest by his friends.
Mr.. Evans attempted to sustain
his charge of ballot-box stufing by
referring to Haywood County, bn-
was promptly reminded by Mr.
Enloe that Haywood was not il
his district.
Mr.. Enloeconcluded with a scath
ing comment ON the conduct O.

PRACTICAL SUGGESTIONS
1. The great question for all Of US is
how to obtain eternal life.
2. Love makes Heaven what it is. We
must be filled with love before we are fit
for Heaven.
8. Love of our neighbor is the proof Of
our love to God.
4. All whom we can hclp-the poor,
foreigners, heathen-arc our neighbors.
5. Man is like this wounded man
bruised by sin; robbed Of hope, charac-
ter and Heaven, end dying in helpless
ness.
Q. Jesus Christ is the good Samaritan,
coming from Heaven to earth, and at in.
finite cost saving men from destruction.

roads centering in st. Paul and Minne-
apolis.
