Republican County Ticket.
The Uprising of the Farmer.
BY FARMER so. l.


En- Posr. No doubt YOU wonder
what has become of Farmer No. !
Well, he got little discouraged rs
all farmers have reasons to be ut
present. But there is important
work to be done right now, and it is
important to know what that work
is and how To do it.
Brother Farmers, the Bcrks coun-
" delegates to the Democratic State
Convention have announced rs their
choice for Governor, William \. Wal
lace. Wallace is railroad monopo-
lists lawyer. and therefore, we far
mcrs should not support him. All
he wants of the "hay-sccds' is.thcir
votes nothing more,
On the Republican side is G. W.
Dclemater He is un open enemy
To the farmer as can be proven 10y
his actions in the State Senate last
winter when House Bill No. 10 was
offered Ny Mr.. Brown, of Iork-a
bill t. equalize taxation among all
"laos.s ota "G;""~'y that is. that
farm ror; .rty .ould not be taxed
at IA hig.er rate than corporate or
personal property, he fought it to
the bitter end.
4. l.. Taggart on the Republican
side Is the farmers friend, and EN-
Governor Pattison is their friend ON
the Democratic side.
Now, my hud-workinG friends,
don't talk about Republican Protcc-
tion or Democratic Free Trade, but
vote for one of these men if they are
nominated. The two great parties
don't care for us after they have om
votes The sheriff will sell us out if
We get comcrcd in these hard times

LEGISLATORS AND THE PRESS.

There seems 70 have been recently an un-
usual amount of bad feeling in the general
relations of legislators and representatives
Of the press, a fact that is very much to be-
regretted as both are employed in serving
the public, and are therefore equally in-
teresied in the support Of truth and Justice.
1t is only proper to say that the sensitive
ness appears 10 be entirely ON the side OF
the legislators. which incines all dsnter-
ested observers to think that the represen-
tatiyes Of the press have only been doing
their duty too faithfully.
TWAS but few days ago that Senators
Eyarts end Harris went 90 FAR a. 10 demand

general indignation which the very PROPOSE
tion excites. The members Of the press
were accused Of "sedition," a novel charge
20 bring in the light Of the history Of Jour
nalism, which has always been as steadfast
a bulwark OF liberty as the bar.
In the contest going on between the men,
bers Of the seuate and the representatives
Of the press, which has occupied the posi-
ton OF advantage in popular opinion If
any conclusion can be drawn from the tone
Of the press itself, which is thought 10 re-

CONFEDERATE MEMORIAL HALL


We call attention to the application OF the
Ladies' HOLLYWOOD Memorial Association 10
the CITY Council, for the appropriation OF
the "Dayis Mansion" at the corner oil
Twelfth and Clay streets, for the use OIL q
menorial hall and museum of Confederate
relics. This movement has already met
with the enthusiastic support ofall to whom
Il has been disclosed. As the petition states
no such provision has yet been made iof
those relics of Confederate heroism, when
are every year becoming more precious AZ
they become more rare.
The acknowledgment by the world long
since. Of the greatness Of Confederate gen
eralship. the fortitude, endurance ana
splendid dash Of the Confederate soldier
has been followed by tardy, but distinct
recognition by their quondam enemies that
what was called Confederate treason can
NOT he made odious. and that imperishable
principles sustained the great heroes VINO
bore the terrific brunt Of that awful con-
nict.
No place on earth is so fit to be the site OF
the memorials Of this great struggle as
Richmond. What Troy was to the IroJans'
or Thermopyle TO the Greeks, Richmond
was 10 the Confederates and here should
be gathered and preserved in perpetual ana
glorious memory, but without bitterness,
those relics which have been sanctihed by
courage unninching, suferings without
murmur, and defeat without humiliation.
Le, the City Council dedicate the building
10 this purpose, and all the people will say
Amen.

rur NASHVILLE CONVENTION.

The convention q Republican League
clubs in Nashville, which adjourned few
DAYS ago. has received much more atten-
ton from the Northern press than from the
Southern. In fact, the notices Of II that have
appeared in Southern newspapers have been
connued 20 meagre reports OF its proceed
ings, or 70 editorial comments expressing
ironical surprise that southern city should
have been selected as place Of meeting for
body Of men, who had not only on numer-
Gus occasions impugned the character Of
the whole Southern peope, but had also
spoken with some doubt as 10 whether they
would be personally safe If they were 10
venture into some parts Of the southern
States.
The delegates had no reason 10 complain
Of the courtesy Of the citizeus OF Nashville.
They were cordially received and treated
with more or less distinction, bu, the inter
est in the convention was purely local. 1t
hardly extended beyond the precincts OF the
city OF Nashville itself And yet II the edi-
torial reflections Of the leading Republican
OF the North were considered,
II would Be supposed that the proceedings J

Of the convention had made profound I'M
preston upon the public sentiment OF the
South. There has not been such an In.
stance Of halIucInatlon since the time when
Mr.. jefferson Brick was possessed with the
notion that his editorials carried consterna-
ton 70 every throne in Europe.
cit IL too s0on,' remarked the New York
Mail and Express Of Thursday, 80 judge
OF any effect the convention may have had
ON Democratic sentiment in Tennessee.
That remains to be seen. The Democrats
OF Nashville, with one or two notable ex-
ccptions, kept pretty well aloof from the
delegates, and there was not much inter
change Of opinions, therefore, between
Democrats and Republicans. still, the
Democrats, az least, saw several hundred
good-looking and woll.dresscd Republicans.
and must have had a realizing sense Of the
fact that there are a good many more white
Republicans than black ones. They ought
TO have seen, too, that white men and black
men can associate on a footing Of perfect
political equality without contamination or
loss OF seif-respect"
This is fair example Of the Republican
comment on the influence which the con-
ycntion is supposed 10 have exercised upon
the community in which il assembled The
references TO lis general influence upon the
public opinion Of the whole South are equal
" inapt. From the sentences quoted from
the Mail and Express IL will be seen that
the personal composition Of the convention
and the intimate association Of its white
and black members on footing Of equality,
were as little calculated 70 commend the
convention itself to the consideration Of the
Southern people as the doctrines which the
league has long been in the habit Of enunci-
ating.
Nothing illustrates so clearly either the
blindness or the indifference to Southern
sentiment on the part Of the conventions Of
Northern delegates that assembled in South
ern cities, than their open disregard Of DIFF
ferences Of opinion with reference TO the
negro. This fatal mistake destroyed the in
nucnce Of the Convention of the knights OF
Labor that met in Richmond several years
ago, and it has had n similar effect upon the
work Of every convention Of Northern dele
gates that has been held in the South since
the war. In their effort 10 show, as the
Mail and Express has declared, that white
men and black men can associate on a foo,
ing Of equality, these delegates have direct
ly opposed themselves to the fundamental
feelings Of the communities in which they
found themselves for time, and in doing
so .hey have destroyed whatever influence
might otherwise have omanated from their
proceedings The recent convention Do
Nashville was no exception 10 the rule, and,
in consequence, it will only be remembered
10 be severely condemned.
