The House OF Democracy is getting
ready. Getting ready to put its house
in order; getting ready to clean out
its augean stable; getting ready for

n,ocracy have been asleep, and the
little sky-terriers of the sub-treasury
have done great deal of barking.
But the Mastifrs are waking up, ana

is smooth sailing. But the presence
the unmistakable presence-ot
secret political organization, and that
led by the most selfish, INSCRIPTIONS,
designing demagogues with when
Tennessee has ever been cursed, mas
fred the heart and brain and energy
of thousands of men who for years
past have not even taken the trouble
to vote. Some of these very men are
members of the Alliance, VINO be-
Heve in it's constitutional pro-
visions, but who are Democrats
| from principle and will work with
might and main to defeat the pollu-
cal purposes of the men who are
daily weakening and have almost
ruined the Alliance by their selfish
aims and political heresies.
Con :erning the situation the
American pertinently remarks:
The Democratic party in Tennessee
has to deal with an anomalous condi-
ton of affairs. A large element of
the rank and file of the DemocI acy is
behind the barred door Of secret
political society and under the intiu-
euce of men whose purposes are
treaoherous to the Democratic party
, They are thus organized, disciplined
. and instructed in secret meetings FOL
lowing in many cases with blind con
fl ience the secret counsels of theil
D leaders without understanding the
p tendency of their action. 1t is no
{ the power of open-mOuthed and big
tant hereey, but the secret work O
2 dark conspiracy which threatens thu
. Democratic party. Fortunately, TIT
r great masses of the people are amena
= BILE to reason, and even among thos'
" who are most under the influence o
: dark-lantern methods and demagogu'
D leadership it is only necessary to ge
$ a hearing to have the truth prevail
Y Fortunately, also, there are man.
: thousand good Democrats in and GU
t of the Alliance who are ready t.
D serve the Democratic party rathe
: than any demagOgue or misled fana
d tic These need only to be organized
a and as the first step In that direction
t they need to be aroused to q prope
Is appreciation of the situation. 1t
+ therefore eminently right that thos
d men in whose ability, integrity an
v Democracy they have faith shout
e 90 among them to discuss the issue
J.. of the time. Whether these men b

Mrs. FALL, of Nashville, who has not
a drop of Polk blood in her veins, but
who for a great many years has ma
terially assisted the late Mrs. Sarah
Polk in spending the five Thousand
dollars annuity allowed her by gra'
oious government, will now, against
the will and wish of the late Presi-
dent Poll, sue for Polk Place, in
Nashville. Some people, sometimes,
miss a good thing by not asking for
fl; and then again some other people
never allow the slightest opportunity
Of that kind to pass them.

WHEN the Big Three take charge
of affairs one OF the very first things
they ought to d. is to Try, by strict
enforcement Of the vagrant laws, to
drive all the drunken, idle loafers,
white and black, out of town. A
man who has no means of support
and does not work, must certainly
either beg or steal, and the sooner
Columbia is rid of all such, the better.

MANY of our readers who heard
McDowelps speech here few weeks
since, will testify that he said that
the AIlIance was political organlZa-
ton. At Sparta last week, wheH ne
had made the same proposition ne
did here, "to divide time with any
body" the Hon. H. G. Snodgra1sr
Democratic Congressman from lhat
district, accepted the challenge. NC
Doweu then began to back out by
insisting that he would divide tllhe
provided Mr.. SnOdgrass would not
make a partisan speech. Snodgrass
reDlied that that was what he was
there for, to make partisan speech
from Democratic standpoint, anu
that he proposed 20 attack the Otala
demands, the Third party demands,
and the Republican party demands
Ruth men were standing on the
sneaker's platform discussing these
preIiminaries before the audience.
All Snodgrass asked was an equal
division OF time, without any re-
etraint being put upon either speaker
Mcdowell would not consent to TINS
and was very overbearing in his man,
n.r. Finally he denounced as false
some statement Mr.. Snodgrass mac
made. He had no sooner said it than
the game little mountaineer Demo
erat pulled his pistol and would have
killed him on the spot, but for un
timely interference of friends. Nc
Dwell, like all DULLES, will NEE
his man some day, and will very
nrobably die with his boots OF.

RALEIGH, N. G. October 22.-To-day the
annual report of tho State Alliance was
issued from its Office here. It shows
wonderful growth in the business Of the

very little. The fertilizer trade increased

The State Alliance has empowered its
State Executive Committee to transfer the
purchasing department OF tho Alliance TO IL Q
National Union Company, OF New YORK, upon
such terms as they may agree upon after the
latter company has fully satisfied them Oh its
legal responsibility; and the Alliance MAKES
formal demand that the General Assembly at its

read an opportunity to vote.
ColoneiA A. X. Mcclure aud his party Of ladies
left this morning for Richmond. The people
here greatly enjoyed their visit.
FAVORABLE OPINION.
This morning tho Attorney-Ge appeared
before the State Board OF Agriculture, in COM
piiance with q request, and gave his opinion iis
10 whether tdat board had the power TO make
Appropriations TO cover the small expense OF
maintaining the state museum. The geological
bureau applied for tho transfer OF the museum,
but the Board OF Agriculture which has collected
the specimens thcre and maintained the large
and valuable museum, did not desire to turn u
over II it had tho authority TO meet the small
cost OF its maintenance. The funds OF the de-
partmeni are now entirely derived from the ton
mage tax on fertilizers. The opinion OF the At
torney-General was favorable.
News has been received by tho revenue oiil-
cials OF tho capture OF an Illicit distillery ana
1000 gallons OF liquor in Guilford county the
revenue oficers will make an active campaign
