The grand jury found "a indict-

The Dowdy murder trial con-

little other business was transacted.
The grand jury failed to COM

Dowdy case.
The jury in the DOwdy case failed
to agrees were for convicting and
4 for acquitting. The case will be
heard again at the next regular
term.
The encouragement was unable
to assist the grand jury, but at the
special term he will give his entire
attention to this work. As word
of warning we would advise the
law breakers to go slow
A special sitting Of the court will
be held the third Monday in March,
when the civil docket, which was
not reached'at the term just ended,
will be disposed of. The Presson

FRIDAY, DECEMBER %, 1892.
TO OUR READERS.

With this issue The CHRONICLE
greets you for the last time for the
year 1892. In accordance with our
annual custom no paper will be IS
sued from this office next week, as
we propose to take rest and enter
into the enjoyment Of the Christ
mas festivities. Out of considera-
ton and regard for our efforts to
furnish a newsy paper for 81 weeks
in the year, we feel assured that not
one of our readers will have cause
to object to our taking short rest
from the duties of the editorial and
composingroom. In reviewing the
work of the past IL months we re-
call with much pleasure and salts
fation the encouragement and sup
port given us by the good people of
Benton County, which is sincerely
appreciated The CHRONICLE was
not established with the idea that
we were filling a long felt want"
or that we had "come to stay" as
some enthusiastic newspaper men
often express themselves when es-
tablishing their first paper. But
we reaffirm the announcement we
made at the outset that we are here
to publish The CHRONICLE just SO
long as the support given the enter
prise will Justify us in doing so.
The general outlook for 1893 is
mostpropitious; theinauguration Of
aDemocratic President and Demo
cratic control of both branches Of
Congress augurs we'll for national
progress and development without
regard to section, the country is
free from plague and strife, and
peace and plenty reigns supreme
over this broad land. The human
heart will catch the inspiration Of
well-doing, and the wish of TIL
CHRONICLE is a Merry Christina;
and Happy New Year to every
body.

Now that it is generally known
that a large majority of the men,
bers-elect to both houses of the next
general assembly are level-headed
men, the people Of Tennessee feel
some assurance that the forces of
organized business, progress, and
development of the States bound
less resources will not be hampered
and jeopardized by men who hold
the welfare of the State and the
promotion of progress and develop
ment above all things else. They
will be powerless to prevent fool
ish bills from being introduced, but
they can prevent them from be-
coming laws, and they will do it.

The official count having been
completed in all the States, the re-
suit of the November election for
President and Vice-President show
that the electoral college will be as
follows; CLEVELAND, 278; HARRI-
SON, 1873; WEAVER, %. CLEVELAND
has a plurality over HARRISON of
140, and his majority over HARRI-
SON and WEAVER is 112. Exclu-
sive of the vote of the solid South,
Mr.. CLEVELAND receives 122 votes,
or Is less than HARRIsoN's entire
vote in the college. While WEAv-
Err carried Colorado, Idaho, Kan
sas, and Nebraska, and received /
electoral vote each in Oregon and
North Dakota, his vote is the re-
suit of a fusion between the Dem
ocrats and populites.

The demand for the repeal of the
federal election laws, emphasized
in the November election, has a
bold champion in the person of
Senator BATE, of this State, who
scored this iniquity of Republican
ism a telling blow in a speech in
the Senate Monday, for which he
has been warmly congratulated by
his Democratic colleagues.

e
Michigan has been a Republican
State. The Democrats for the first
time in many years had control of
the last Legislature. They passed
what is known as the Michigan Elec-
toral Law. This law provides that
instead of choosing presidential elec-
tors onIa general ticket, as the cas-
tom has been in all the States, two
electors. only shall be chosen by tue
State at large and the remainder by
congressional districts, each of the
twelve districts into which the State
is divided by the new aRportionmen
law choosing an elector for that par
eicular district. .E.--.. ~ ..,,e,-
The. Supreme Court of Michigan
has just decided that the law was
constitutional. But there could not,
it seems to as, have been any doubt
on that point. The trainers of the
constitutionzno doubt intended that
electors should pc elected in that
manner. Exactly this system was

THE TARIFF. - -

We Areaffrn the American
doctrine of protection. We call
attention to its growth abroad.
We maintain that the prosper
ous condition Of our country is
largely due to the wise revenue
legislation of the Republican
Congress. We believe that all
articles which cannot be pro-
daced in the United States, e4-
cept luxuries, should be it
tedifree Of duty, and that all
imports coming into competi-
ton with the products of Amer
lean labor, there should be
! levied duties equal to the differ
ence between wa yes abroad and

I'VE assert that the prices of
manufactured articles of general
consumption have been reduced
under the operations of The
tariff act Of 1890.
We denounce the efforts Oh

House of Representatives to de

We demand that every citizen

DR.. Kingsbury is .again halping
on what he is pleased to call "Nild-
cat money and pawn, broker shop

book learned doctor knows, more
about the Sub-Treasury than we do,
we have a right to ask the loan Of
his ears and he cannot be fair acd
refuse. For the benefit Of the DDc-

lowing plain and concise statement,
which any one with. a very small
amount of book learning, a fair
amount of common sense and a
large amount of the spirit of tair-
ness and justice, caunot fail to- Hun
derstand and appreciate. 55t
Now what we demand ofthei gov

the business men, the farmers, labor
ers and all legitimate producers of
wealth as generously as it has treat
ed its few non-productive pets, the

much as they do. Let us have mdn.

are willing to pay just double the

give'it that name, that they do. Be
sides this we ask for no interest on

We do not ask that our security. be
exempt from taxation, while the
bankers security is exempt. We do

would not be contrary, to the consti
