CLEvELAND's strength continues
to grow, and we repeat the predic-
ton we have repeatedly made, that
when his name is announced at the
Chicago convention, it will create
such enthusiasm that he will be NOM
mated before the cheering has ceased.
The Alliance il against him and
Tammany is against him, the two
most corrupt political organizations
under the sun. But the people are
for him. Many of those who differ
with him upon the silver question !;
many who do not like his civil SER
vice ideas, still prefer him because of
his candor and his boldness aud his
honesty. The truth is the people of
this country have grown sick and
tired Of demagogues, whether in
high or low places; and it is because
Cleveland is so little of a demagogue
that the people want him. The curse
of this age and this country, is the
demagogue. Demagogism ought to
be punished like witchcraft of old.

ner Alexander, shot and killed him.
This unfortunate affair entered largely
into the campaign.

of the Farmers Alliance, stated that the
third party had resolved to nominate
a national ticket, and put out candi-
dates for Congress in all the Southern

anything in Tennessee, but thought
they might get two men from Georgia.

Another weekly paper is soon to be
started in Columbia. The Current
will be it's name. Whether the Cur
rent will be a stream of pure Democ-
CIV, or muddied and polluted by the
faint of Ocalaism, THE HERALD is
not able to say. It's directors are Col.
H. A. Brown, w. o. WitherspOOn, G.
V. Cyrus, w. B. Gordon and f. E.
Erwin. Hon. w. B. Gordon will be
the editor. He is capable writer, a
companionable, pleasant gentleman,
and we extend to him our fraternal
greetings. We learn, and from the
personnel of the directory we would
infer, that the paper will favor the re-
nomination of Mr.. Buchanan fol-
Governor.

WHAT seems to US to be fair COM
promise settlement of a law suit, is
the proposition, to be found in another
column, from certain therein named
gentlemen to r. G. Church, Trustee
of the Columbia Banking Co. We
have had very little to say concern

fairs, because we believed the bust

capable, business men, and that it
could be better and quicker settled
without interference from the HER

In the meantime, His Excellency-
the Ocalite-is keeping a standing
army at the Briceville mines in East
Tennessee, which army alone has
already cost the tax payers of Ten
nessee eight thousand dollars. 1t
seems now that the only way to get
rid of the expense Of a standing army
in Tennessee, is to elect a new Gov
ernor. If this army had teen put
there under Hawkins rule, and had
happened to have dOnned blue uni
forms, what a devil of a row there
would have been in Tennessee. And
yet this Executive Clam taxes the
people to make up the deficit of his
incompetency, and because the peo-
pie grow aweary his Coal Oil Inspec-
tors wax furious.

Left" said the Buchanan me a few days
ago. And when the convention met the
weather showed sarcasticaIly.
The Buchanan bosses in this county
seem to be like the French General
retreats than for the fame of their bat
ties.
1t was a smart thing in our local
leaders to order John Henry out of town
with out making a speech.
-
Personally we wish Gov. Buchanan
well and sincerely hope that next year
will be a good year for farming.
1t was a cruel thing in the opponents
of Gov. Buchanan to make Lucas Clapp
chairman of the delegation just for the
fun of hearing him give the big end of
the vote to old Pete.
John Henry can now retire to his farm
and make hen nests of his whiskers.
Dear Governor: there is nothing like
raw beef for black-eye.
Our esteemed Democratic executive
committee will never be pretty any
more, but what it has lost in beauty it
has gained in knowledge. 1t was even
so with the boy that played with the
tail of an evil minded mule.

the epitaph written upon the tomb of
an infant which died the day it was
born. The lines are by Col. WIN. r.
Moor:
Since I was so quickly done for,

Gov. B Ick can not work his Lama
Democrat and Sail-on-oh-ship racket on
the unsuspecting Democracy like he did
in the last campaign. The people want
to know for what port no is sailing. I'll

Jonah bounce.
We can't help wishing that that report
of the committee on credentials had
been read and debated, and we can't |
help feeling that the outrage in the Sew
enth ward ought to have been complete |
ly undone. No delegate ought to sit in |
Democratic convention by the grace of |
a ballot-boX suffer.
We notice in the Nashville American |
a report of some remarks made by the |
editor of The Commercial in the recent |
of Judge Turney's friends !
which is in one respect, erroneous. He !
is made to say in this report that "any |
man now belonging to the Alliance is
an enemy to Democracy"
What was said was that no man could
be faithful to the Farmers Alliance as
now constituted without bsins faith
less to the Democratic purity" We
know members of the Alliance who re-
fuse to reco suize the authority of it's
leaders or to accept as bind
ng upon th9ir cOnsciences the de-
nands of the order. In doing this,
however, they have refused to obey the

yield their private convictions whore

THAT our friends may feel no anX

DEMOCRATS did not fight Mr.. Buch-

terpreted by President Polk, Mr.. Nc
Dowell and others, though he may be a
good Democrat.
1t illumines the situation very much
to see two editorials in the New York
Sun, one praising Ben Butler and the
other praising Dave Hill. May the
good lord deliver US from both!
The Hon. Dave Hill has made quite a
number of long and cable" speeches but
you will read all of them in vain to find
what Dawes position is on any issue be-
tween the political parties.
The Dallas News is engaged in a
spirited quarrel with old-man Reagan,
though we are pleased to hear our con-
temporary declare that it will use no
disrespectful language toward "the ven
cradle Thersites." This reminds US of
the Arizona editor, who declared that
he could not stoOp to handy epithets
with the drunken cow-thief and red
nosed liar who edited the filthy little
sheet called the Bugle.
The Atlanta Constitution says that
owing to the division among Democrats,
Hill would Prefer not to vote at all on
the silver question at this time. No
doubt about that. A man may talk on
both sides of question at once, but he
can only vote on one.
Silence, they say, is golden. Horrible
thought! Can it be that Gov. Buchanan
is gold-bug?
If Gov. Buck can not tell US what he
thinks of the sub-treasury, will he
please tell us what he thinks he thinks?
The noble 400 of New York now have
on hand a delicious scandal which is
distinctly English in all it's features.
And whatever is English is, of course,
nice, even if it's nasty.
When you hear an Alliance politi-
clan say that he is in favor of more
money, you may set it down that he is
telling the truth. But he wants it for
himself.

somewhat unsuited for outdoor work,

early as we had intended. Istead of
the first of April, it will be the 18th.
We hope our friends will not become
impatient or lose heart. Without
any sort Of doubt we are going to give
Columbia people daily paper, and a
good one at that. Our first page will
be devoted entirely to telegraph news
from the world at large, and we will
have live correspondents all over the
county and hustling reporter to do
up the town. Never mind about our
"biting off more than we can chew"
or anything Of thst kind. We have
been figuring on this for more than a
year, and if you will only subscribe
and pay the pitiful sum of ten cents a
week, we will do the balance. And
really you ought to be ashamed of
yourself II you are not willing to give
ten cents week to have a daily pa
