Wc2rcrs Of III i,a,ta


in he achievement of the Dem
ocratic victory. More tnan four
lifths of the weekly papers of the
State are Democratic and not one
among them that has any stand
ing as Democratic paper failed
to earnestly and effectively adj
v"cate the straight Democratic |
ticket from Cleveland down.
The combined power Of the coun-
try press is a great il fuence in
behalf Of any cause it espouses
and il can generally be depended
upon to es2ous the. cause of JUS
tice and right. The country pa
per is close to The people: it is
familiar with their wants and
needs and it reflects their senti-
ments and opinions it can have
lno motives or interests that are
contrary to the interest, Of the
people, for what is to its interests
lis to the interests and advantage
Of the people rpon whom it must
depend for its support. The coun
try papers are great factor in
promoting and developing the
material interests OF the country
and have done and are doing
much in the great and wonder
full work OF advancement that
the country has made and is
makeing."
Every word Of the a. owe is true.
Too marked compliment cannot
be paid 10 the weekly press for the
part it played i'll the in the recent
cam raign. Democracy was in
trouble, the political conditions
were distressing and the fight
} against wrong had to be made.
The huge blast was eounced, the
, war cry was shouted, end the
weekly newspapers of Tennessee
responded almost as one; and the
service they rendered thu cause
of their party was loyal. 1t was
superb. Never did a leader have
