Tennessee RepubIlcans.

The political claim OF the off year in
Tennessee will soon be broken by the
bugle blasts of the party leaders to
summon the clans to action. The Re
publican leaders seem to be taking the
first steps to arouse the tagging in
terest of their party in the state, and
the meeting of the Republican State
League, in Nashville, February 10Th,
will be the initiatory movement of that
party in the years campaign. Elk
Congressman Clay Evans is President
of the league, and in an appeal to Re-
publicans he urges thorough organi-
cation throughout the state.
Meanwhile the Knoxville Journal,
the Republican organ of East Tennes-
see, has been casting about for a
suitable gubernatorial candidate forthe
Tennessee department of the G. 0. P.
The Journal claims that East Tennes-
see is entitled to the Republican nomi-
nation this year and has been making
suggestions for the candidacy. The
three names which it mentions as Of
ten spoken of for the dubious lead
ership of the Republican hosts
are H. Clay Evans, Acknowledgement
Lindsey and Judge Henry R. Gibson.
But the Journal proceeds to state that
Evans is already handicapped by
a factional split in his own county and
that Mr.. Lindsey could not be expected
to give up his lucrative Office for the
chance Of becoming Governor. Judge
Gibson is therefore recommended by
the Journal as man who "would
make a canvass such as has not been
made in Tennessee in many days"
1t is not yet known whether the
Republicans of the State are ready To
accede to East Tennessee the privilege
of a nomination which, SO far as we
can see, will offer only the advantage
of giving the defeated candidate the
customary claim to the consideration
OF the appointing powers at Washing
ton, should Republican administers
ton succeed the present one. 1t is
understood that thereNwill be a candi-
date for the gubernatorial nomination
from Middle Tennessee in the person
of Archibald Hughes, Jr, and it may
be that there is prospect of a lively
tussle for the imposing sacrifice Of the
nomination.-Nas Banner.

Boyd's Triumph.

The Supreme Court of the United
States has reversed the decisioy of the
Supreme Court of Nebraska, and de-
cided that James E. Boyd is a citizen
of the United States, and therefore was
capable of being elected Governor OF
Nebraska, incidentally it has been
decided that John NJ. Thayer has been
for year holding an Office to which
he had no sort of right.
This case differs from some other
recent instances where men have been
deprived OF the offices to which they
we're elected, in this, that in the Ne
blaska case there was room for some
doubt whether Mr.. Boyd had ever
been naturalized. There were Demo
cratic lawyers, as we'll as many of the
opposite party, who were not satisfied
that he was a citizen of the United
States. In several other States offices
have been recently stolen by the Re
publicans on pretexts so utterly base
less as to satisfy the judgment of no
body competent to express an opinion,
Apart from this, the proceedings in
the case of Mr.. Royd have been scan
dalous and altogether discreditable to
his opponents. AS soou as the ques.
ton of Boyd's eligibility was raised
rhayer, his predecessor, who had not
been a candidate at the election
promptly assumed jurisdiction Of the
matter, decided Boyd ineligible and
himself the proper person to hold the
office during the term for which Boyd
had been chosen. This, however, was
little too much even for the Nebras
ko courts, and Thayer was squelcheC
for the time being. Then the matter
went formally into court, and the Su
preme Court decided that Boyd wal
ineligible and that Thayer should hole
over. This judgment vas executed
with most indecent haste, and BoyC
was summarily ousted. Whateve
may be thought of the judgment 0
the Nebraska court, the manner il
which it was rendered and executed
was little short of an outrage. TIL
Judges themselves we're ashamed 0
it.
1t is matter of congratulation tina
) this decision of the Supreme Court l
! free from the faint Of craftsmanship. Al
, the Justices joined in it except MI
Field, who is classed as a Democrat
1t is quite triumph for Gov BOyd

One word with regard to the ore: 1t opened
better than we expected. Itismostly hematite;
but there are some brown ores. AS to the
quantity, well, so far as our experience goes,
and so far as the development has gone, there
appears to be no reason for the present genera
zion troubling themselves on this point. Our
manager reports that the ores are well within
the Bessemer limits. Exclusive of the ores
which we shall require to burn in our own
furnace, we shall be able to sell surplus ore at
the rate of 100 tons to 200 tons dav.-Hon. H.H.
Bland, Director of the Embreville Freehold,
Land, Iron and Railway Company, at a recent
meeting of stockholders in London.

DOVER, Dec. Postal cards announc-

Republicans would be held in the Coli

attendance of the political workers for
revenue only, and others interested in
Republican success. At the hour ap.
pointed for the meeting the 1.-TWO
Genges," with their lieutenants, Johnson
and Irons, might be seen conducting the
"dsinterested" patriots whom they
polled on election day, toward the Coli
son building whittier they had been
attracted by interpreting the words,
meeting Of Importance as meaning a
fresh distribution Of Doodle.
But If such were their expectations,
they were disappointed. There was no
Doodle in IT, The meeting was called for
the purpose Of gathering together the
scattered elements of the party which
was in existence previous TO the election.
so that showing could be
made whereby some speculator on
United States senatorship might
be induced to supply capital. Pre-
vious to the election there were two
so-called Republican clubs in Dover, -
the State Capital, and the young
Mems. The former was known as the
Still Hunt .Say-NOthing club and the
latter as an Aggressive-Spread-E Eagle
One The one believed that by cash
only could an election be carried in
Delaware and the voters, particularly the
! aftlf frrltf hn hatf fars
The other club pretended to believe
that the righteousness of their political
principles when made known would
commend themselves and that by agita
tion they could carry the state. But by
some means or other the Still Hunters
obtained the central of the late cam.
paign. and whether from want of enough
of cash or that the people who vote were
more enlightened than they anticipated
or from other causes, the campaign under
their management was disastrous one
Now the desire is to amalgamate. For
that purpose the meeting was called
last night.

He refused their request and went into
his house to eat supper. In about twenty
minutes afterward one Of his children
attracted his attention by saying that
the barn was ON fire. He ran out and
saved his two cows but before he man.
aged to save anything else the barn was
in flames. About fifty chickens perished
along with forty bushels of corn, fodder
and farming implements which were
burned The building was frame

insured $1,000 in the Doe Run Pennsyl.

on the contents of the barn, and Mr..
Gunn suffered loss of about 5000. The
house was in great danger of catching

burned building. II is the property of
the late Lorenz Schwendeman. The fire
was evidently started by the tramps.
The frame work of the st. Barabas

raised yesterday. The completion is
being rapidly pushed and services will
likely be held in the new building on
Christmas.
