DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATES.

The SIM published yesterday list Of
Democratic candidates for the Presi-
dency. 1t took them in alphabetical
order and the list ran as follows: Gov.
Leon Albeit of New Jersey, Gen. John
q. Black of Illinois, Gov. Horace Boies
of Iowa, Gov. James L. Campbell of
Ohio, Mr.. Roswell Pettibone Flower of
New York, Senator Arthur Pue German
Of Maryland, Isaac p. Gray of Indiana,
Senator Gray of Delaware, Gov. David
Bennett Hill of New York, Gen. George
w. Jones of Iowa, William c. Morrison
Of Illinois, Gen. John NJ. Palmer of Illi-
nois, Gov Robert +. Pattison of Penn
sylvania and William c. Whitney, ex-
Secretary of the navy.
1t makes at first glance quite a grove
of presidential timber, but searching
gaze reveals the fact that the cyclone of
the election uprooted Campbell and Pat
tison, that Boies isn't well enough
grown, politically, for any more respons-
ible position than that of Vice Presiden-
tial nominee, that German is the Suns
saplng and therefore marked for the
woodman, that Whitney is out of politics,
that Jones of Iowa is eighty-seven years
old, that Palmer of Illinois is seventy
five years old, that Leon Albeit is too
well gifted with enemies, that Flower
and Hill will fight each others candidacy
and that in point of fact the timber belt
is pretty well thinned.
There is one name, it is to be observed,
that isn't mentioned by the sun, and
that is the name Of Grover Cleveland.

IN THE TENNESSEE MOUNTAINS.


The events now going forward in the
Tennessee mountains are of even greater
interest than those in Brazil, Chile or
Mexico, because nearer home. When
the stockades at Briceville and Oliver
Springs were burned and those at Coal
Creek dismantled, the chief anxiety of
the lessees of the convicts seemed to be
the question of getting back their la
borers. They have made FORMAL demand
upon the Governor for them, and Gov.
Buchanan declares that he will uphold
the honor of Tennessee" In accordance
with this declaration, new stockades will
begin to rise to-day, the convicts work
ing under military guard.
What this practical declaration of an
intention to uphold the convict lease sys-
TEN may very probably result in, it is
not difficult to forsee. The return of the
convicts on the eve Of a great strike
which involves the miners of all the
Waldrus range region is certain to in
flame the temper of the not too pacific
mountaineers. The "zebras" are hated
because convict labor not only degrades
the price of free labor but also destroys
its dignity Convict and freeman worked
side by side at Briceville and their con-
ditions differed little.
A war not unlike Indian wars is what
people who understand the situation are
looking for. The mines and stockades
are in the hollows, and the mountain
sides give opportunity for the use of the
long barreled gun, the handling of
which Tennesseeans so well understand.
Bloodshed and rioting are imminent if
they have long been making,
The question of the employment of
convicts is not an easy one. 1t is n
heavy expense to maintain them i'm idle
ness. and Tennessee has talked at one
time and another of employing them up
on the roads or of leasing mines and
working the convicts for the benefit of
the State treasury. The root of the diff
ficulty, or one of the longest and strong
est of the roots, is that the South does
not yet half appreciate the dignity of
work nor understand what it is doing in
allowing its convicts to be used by the
wholesale in underselling the employers
of free labor. And it is the South that
expects to control the country next
year.

CHORES.

Jed Dorcum always used to say
When we asked him tQ come and play
With us boys down 20 Harry More's,.
i've gotter stay and do the chores"
No recreation would he take
For all his wealth in Jelly cake;
No glad fun In or out Of doors
He had 10 stay and do the chores.
We drove a woodchuck In the wall,
But jed he paid no heed at all
A circus passed through Lower Town,
But busy Jed, he couldn't 20 down.
The elephant went tramping by
And shook the earth and touched the sky.
The tiger howls, the lion roars,
Jed stays at home and does the chores.
Much like Jed Dorcum are we all
Who long for great things and do small;
We moil among the trivial sods
Within the gardens of the gods,
While the dark clusters hang above
Rich with the juice of life and love,
We cannot reach and pluck them down,
These fair pomegranates OF renown,
Whose juice life's early hope restores,
For we must work and do the chores.
Above us sternly loom forever
The miglNy mountains of Endeavor,
And whose on their summit stands
Looks on the sun-kissed table-land
We grasp our mountain staff to climb
Their sky-enshrouded peaks sublime,
Up where the crystal torrent pours-
And then we pause TO do our chores.
We start with courage in the heart
try the endlessness of art,
In hope that we may speak some day
The word the Spirit bids us say.
But ere we speak the word Alright
The shadows come and IL is night:
Put out the light and close the doors,
For good or i'll we've done our chores.

MIR. WILLIAMS IN LOCAL JOURNAL

AS it is by no means necessary to
agree with a man in order TO respect
him, so it becomes possible for men of
all shades of opinion to extend to Mr..
Alfred M. Williams hearty God speed
on his departure from the active field of
journalism and his formal adoption of a
more studious line of literary work.
Historical composition is kind of work
for which Mr.. Williams is eminently
fitted. and which should bear for him
fruits more honorable than he has yet
won.
In fulfilling the every day duties
of editorial work Mr.. Williams
has apparently been somewhat
hampered by being obliged to write
in conformity with the opinion of
others, although he himself was edu-
Gated in school of real independence
and taught by the experience of men
like Anthony and Danielson who held
the community in their hands because
they thoroughly reflected its best and
most progressive thought. These two
latter men knew full well where the ad-
vancement of the community's interests
lay.
That the work which was required of
Mr.. Williams compelled him to break
away from the teachings of his early
days has been the misfortune of his
readers for it must of necessity follow
that he who performs work that is dis
tasteful must in time become some
what tinged with discomfort. Criticism
in such cases becomes somewhat too
keen and caustic.
Unsurrounded by restraining influ-
ences, Mr.. Williams is man who will
bring TO bear on his new work thorough
erudition, keen and sensitive judgment,
untiring and painstaking application
which should result in excellent literary
productions.
