THE OUTLOOK.

The prospects Of electing Clevelai d
and Stevenson grow brighter eve y
day. There is scarcely doubt now
but that Democracy will sweep the
country in November.
Perfect harmony prevails in the
ranks of the party in New York, ana
the Empire State is entirely safe.
Branch headquarters will be est4b-
Iished in Chicago. Illinois is counted
as reasonably certain for the Demo-
cratic ticket, and there is little dOub t
but we shall carry some of the other
North Western states. Iowa, Mime
sofa, Michigan and the two Dakota's
are trembling in the balance with the
chances all in favor of Democracy.
If the Southern States present the
solid phalanx which they hitherto
have done, we snail rout the enemy,
horse, foot and dragon. This is no
time for our people to falter in their
allegiance to the party that has pre-
served them from destruction N
times past and which il their only
hope of salvation III the future. The
goal for which we have so long
striven il almost in sight. Shall We
fail to reach il, because of dissensiOn
and division? We cannot believe
that a single Southern state Will he

y fine effort and had q happy effect.
He had no words of abuse for indi-
viduals but made no compromise of
principle. He addressed the reason
not the passions. From the begin

convincing argument for straight De-
nocracy-unimpassiOned yet forcible
and persuasive. II all could hear and

This morning was momentOus
one to teachers and pupils. After
their long summers rest they have
gone back TO the school room with its
work and cares. The teachers go
back with recuperated powers of
mind and body, prepared to faithfully
discharge the high duty which is
theirs. They are entitled the dee p
appreciation and hearty cooperation
OF the whole community, for the
work they do is of scarcely less i'm
portance than that of the pulpit itself.
The feelings which move the pupils
will be as varied as the character
ishes of the boys and girls them
selves 70 most girls the atmosphere
Of the school rOOns is not unpleasant.
Generally they take kindly to the
work aha4 b Laid out before them and
peiEDpm It eheerfully. With boys
this b dSe exception and not the rule.
They Wiz probably start in with
enthaaoANA and enjoy their sur
FOundIngs while the novelty and light
worn Of organization lasts, but when
It comes down to hard study and
regular confinement to a desk, the
merry urchin would rather be any
where else.
He will be taxing his brain far
more to invent excuses for not learn
ing his lessons than be will in study
ing them. He will play ball or shin
ny all day without tagging, and yet
become completely depilitated when
it comes to disgramming his SEN
fences in grammar or figuring out the
result in an example in interest.
Look out next week TO hear of more
sore eyes, head aches, back aches,
sprained ankles, gum boils, stone
bruises and general enervation than
YOU have known since IastJune
Despite ali this tagging and shirk-
ing, however, most of then manage
to scrape through, and if their par
ents keep them up to the mark there
will come day later in their teens
when they will knuckle down in ear
nest and do the higher branches bet
ter than the girls who have gone
placidly along without giving their
parents or teachers tythe of trouble.
Our advice to parents and teachers
is to take delight in the girls and to
bear with and hope tor the boys.

A TRICK OF THE FUsIoNIsTs.

A II
Mcdowell has been doing Buch-
anan's talking for him for two years.
He is still doing it.
1t was Mcdowell who said that
Buchanan favored the sub-treasury.
Afterwards, Buchanan said the same.
II was Mcdowell who Raid Buch-
an would run as an Independent.
Afterwards Buchanan announced
himself.
1t is Mcdowell who says he had
rather see Harrison and Winstead
carry Tennessee, than for Cleveland
and Turney to carry it. In this as
on all other political questions,
Buchanan thinks what Mcdowell
talks.
1t is Mcdowell who has asked that
Federal supervisors be placed at the
polls. 1t is the same old game. Nc
Dow ell is doing the talking ana the
acting and taking the abuse, but
Buchanan is pdrticeps crin1inis and
as deep in the conspiracy as No
Dowell.
1t was offensive to Mr.. Buchanan's
friends when we told them that Me
Dowell was a traitor to the South, a
political renegade and Republican
at heart. But he has proven him
self to be just that.
It was offensive to Mr.. Buchanan's
friends when we told them that he
would proove untrue to his trust and
turn against the party that had hon
ored him. But he has done just that.
These same friends will think 1t
harsh and hard when we say of Mr..
Buchanan now that through his I'M
considerable, dirty henchman he has
combined with the party OF the Force
bill to Dr. ak the solid South, but he
has done just that, and his friends,
duped and deceived as they have been,
will find to their sOrrOw-soOner or
later-that the HERALD was their
friend, and as friend was only tell
ing them the truth and warning them
fs9sinst q brace Of as interruptions
demsgogues and political adventurers
as ever cursed people or q State.
MoDowelPs petition, Judging by re-
cent history. has the sanction and
private endorsement of Gov. Buch-
anau. That petition is the Force bill
in disguise and the hope Of the
Republicans. The infamous proceed
ing issthe- fit offspring of the infa-
nous mind and wicked heart of the
traitor who conceived it. He is pur-
suing the policy outlined by Kolb in
Alabama. No surer does the needle
point to the pole, than that Buch-
aDan's compaign conducted by Me
Dowell-will pursue the same policy
as Kolb; and Kolb, in a public
speech in Selma, a few days before
the election, said to his negro au-
dience, Ego torthe polls and vote; you
are freemen; carry your guns with
you and if necessary use them"
And yet we are told that we must
stop abusing Mcdowell and Buch-
anan. Why? Are they not the
bitterest and most dangerous enemies
Tennessee has to fight? By their
combinations and machiuations are
they not doing more to overthrow
Democratic rule and white suprema-
cy, than all others combined? Stop
abusing men who have combined
with the negro element Of the Repub-
lican party, to deliver the electoral
vote Of Tennessee to Harrison and
through the Force bill put black
heels on whit necks in the South!
Stop abusing them indeed! There
ought not to be q man In Tennessee
who would defend them.
1t is time the white men of Tonnes
see were alive to their danger and
their duty.
