Call For Democratic Prima-
riaG

In obedience to the action of the
Democratic Executive Committee of
Maury County, at meeting held on
Monday, Dec. 2sth, 1891, and by vir-
tue of the power vested in me as
Chairman of said Committee, here
by call primary election to be held
by the Democratic voters Of Maury
County on Saturday the 5th day of
March, 1892, between the hours Of 8
A. NJ. and p. NJ. The district COM
mitteemen are instructed and en-
powered to appoint judges and clerks
to hold this election, and to allow no
one but qualified Democratic voters
to vote. Democrats who are not of
age, or who have not lived in the
district, State or county long enough
to vote on the day Of the primaries,
bat whose disabilities will be re-
moved by the general election day in
August, are qualified voters. By
resolution the Committee instructed
the officers who hold the election, to
make their returns the following
Monday, to the Chairman of the
Committee. The district committee
men are earnestly requested to see to
it. that the polls are open at the
proper time, and the election prop
erly and strictly held, according to
the call.

SOME people, notably David
Cabled Kelley and his followers, fire.
quently assert there is little or no
difference between the two old par
ties. The difference is great aud the
instances are many. The history of
the joint resolution authorizing the
Secretary of the Navy to charter s
vessel to carry grain to the famine
strickened Russians, is a case in
point. The resolution passed the Re-
publican Senate.but was killed in the
Democratic House. The difference is
the Republicans think they hsve the
right to spend the peoples money in
any way they please, while the Demo-
Gratis think they are confined to the
needs Of the government economic
ally administered. Quite difference.

THE HERALD sounds the alarm to
all true Democrats. There is danger
ahead to your party organization. A
secret foe in your ranks is attempting
to betray you. A secret political
society is attempting to capture you,
Be wary; be watchful; keepyoureyes
and ears open, and be sure you give
your influence to a straight Demo-
eHat, and give your vote to help de-
leat the combine that hopes to profit
by the solid support of the political
wing of a secret, selfish, dark lantern
Alliance.

CONGRESSMAN COX, WhOm our Alli-
ance friends of the Goth district of this
county helped send to Congress, in a
recent interview in Washington, con-
corning the Alliance Presidents and
the fool resolutions recently adopted
by them, says: "Why, the resolution
shows duplicity on its face. In one
breath it says they will affiliate with
no party or parties and asks that eve
ry party take them under its fold.
Now, the Democratic party is never
going to indorse the Ocala platform
as it stands, nor will the Republican
party. The Peoples Party, so-calIed,
has already Endorsed the Ocala de-
mauds and if the Alliance means to
throw its strength to the party that
indorses it's peculiar views and de-
mands, the main ones ofl..which are
the subtreasury and land ilOan
schemes, both clearly at variance
with the theory of this Government
and sound political economy, why
then they are already'in the peoples
party, SO far as those demands will
ever get any party endorsements.
NIne-tenths OF. -my::.constiruents are
agricuIturists and am fully in SYM
pathy with them in their just griev-
ances, but no Democrat who under
stands the principles of this Govern
ment can ever indorse the chimerical
ideas Of the extreme Alliace leaders"
If a man says he will not affil-
late with a party that does not en-
dorse the Ocala platform, and will
affiliate with party that does, the
point Col. Cox makes is, that by that
declaration he reads himself out of
the Democratic party and into the
People'sEParty. When he does that
he ought to vote in the primaries of
the Peoples Party and not in the pri-
maries of the Democratic party. We
do not wish to be understood as say
ing there are no Democrats in the
Alliance. There are some they have
remained there hoping to save the
Alliance from it's traitorous leaders
and bring it back to it's original good
nority, however, and their plain duty,
as we see it, is to get out Of an order
that is inimical to their interests and
a reflection upon their political prin-
ciples. For, though we admit the
possibility of man being a member
of the Alliance and still Democrat,
at the same time we believe member
ship III the Alliance-at this late day
to be reflection upon any mans
Democracy. A man cannot serve
two political masters any more than
he can serve both God and MammOn.
And when a man allows himself to
remain a member of secret political
organization, that makes political and
undemOcratic demands, and through
its recognized, authorized and I'M
questioned leaders advises it's MEM
bers not to support any nominee of
any party who will not support these
demands, then we say, the Democ-
racy of any such member of any such
party is to be questioned. To be true
to Democracy he must be false to the
Alliance. To be true to the Alliance
he must be false to Democracy.
Which he is true to and which be is
false to, is a question. To be true to
himself he should get out of one or
the other.

OF his lecture vast offered 100000 to
deliver 100 lectures a season for five
seasons. His lecture is said totbe the
happiest combination of humor,
pathos, eloquence and mimicry.
This is all natural with Bob Taylor
He is naturally humorous, naturally
eloquent He goes from humor into
pathos without hardly knowing
where he is going, and even in his
political speeches part of his audi
ence sometimes would be applauding
his eloquence while another part
would be laughing at his fun. We
are not surprised therefore at the re-
port that comes to US, that eloquence,
pa hos, mimicry and humor are so
closely interviewer in his lecture,
that tears and smiles are seen on the
same faces in his audience. He will
lecture here next Thursday night, in
the Opera House. We hope he will
have-and he doubtless villa large
sudience. This much is due his fame
as a lecturer, his services to the State
as Democrat, aud his social quail
ties as an all-round good fellow.

Jan. 1st 1892, Mrs. Ruth Bunch, wife
of Mr.. Sol H. Bunch, aged "a years.
A good wife and loving mother
called to her eternal rest.
Our kind Father has wisely i'm
planted in each of his creatures diff
ferent characteristics and individ-
ualities. These were conspicuously
marked in the life of our dear friend.
One OF her predominating traits was
her extreme candor and truthful
ness; duplicity in any shape she
heartily detested. Her home life
was beautiful; it was there the great
ness OF her character shone brightest,
and only those who knew her as
wife, mother, and aunt, can appre-
ciate the excellences of her heart and
character. No sacrifice she could
make was too great for these loved
ones. 70 the orphan she was a
mother indeed. Oh dear, dear Aunt,
we miss you. But this consoles more
than all else; blessed are the pure
in heart, for they shall see God"

Col. Geo. w. Polk died at his home
at Ashwood, last Friday. The funer-
al services were conducted in st.
Johns Church by Rev. g. NJ. Gray.
The interment was in st. John
Church Cemetery. Col. Polk was -
years old, and several years past had
retired from the active duties Of life.
But his distinguished appearance,
his dignified, elegant bearing and
courtly manners, so long seen and
felt in this county, were too striking
to be soon forgot. He was a South
ern gentleman of the old school and
such a character always enjoys the
respect OF the community, the friend
ship of his neighbors and the love of
his friends. Concerning his life and
death we clip the following from the
Nashville : American: yesterday
afternoon at st. Johns Church Ash
wood, despite the bleak and wintry
day, a large number of friends from
over the county and State gathered
to pay the last honors to the memory
of Col. George w. Polk. The servi-
ces were conducted by Rev. G.. NJ.
Gray. After the services in the
church the remains were inferred in
the church cemetery with old friends,
neighbors and comrades of Col. Pc ks
ny III
silence. Throughout Maury County
the death of Col. Polk is felt with
exceeding great sorrow, and this so :
row is not confined to the county of
his residence nor to his State, but
throughout the South, where he was
50 generally and lovingly known.
During his long life, the most of it
spent in Maury County, at Ashwood,
his opportunities tor forming friend
ships had been great, and the friends
he drew to him remained true Under
al! circumstances. Full of years,
with no enemies, with hosts of warm
and true friends, with heart as ten
der as wCman's and as large as his
whole souled mature e, with the burden
of his ~ years upon him, he passed
quietly away leaving vacancy
which never can be filled. A good
friend, a good neighbor, a loving
father, true gentleman, one of
family known and hOnOred through
out the South for high characteristics,
his memory will long be cherished"

The speech Of Headsman Stevenson
in @opening the campaign" of the
Democrats in Illinois was upon the
lowest level of free trade demagogy.
The Democratic candidate for Vice
President assailed the protective sys-
tom under which this country has
achieved unparalleled prosperity with
q vehemence that recalls the vindic.
tive hatred which the leaders of the
Confectionery bore to the tariff. II is
evident that Stevenson is in the fullest
sympathy with the plank in the Dem
ocratic platform which, in imitation
of the Confederate constitution, de-
mands the abolition of all protection

son & Co. could have its way the

Two Thousand Wage Farmers Added


The Mckinley tariff made the
profitable manufacture of down quilts
possible in the United States Pre-.
vious TO its enactment down quilts
were a luxury used only b. people
who had plenty of money. Ninety
eight per cent of these goods were
imported from England. Only one
small factory for their manufacture
existed in the United States. To-day
there are six American down quilt
factories doing a prosperous business,
The price of the the finer grades OF
down quilts has fallen from $50 to
SIT, and of the cheaper kinds from
SIP to Sc. Two thousand workers
already employed at American rates
of wages in this industry, which the
Mckinley law virtually created. And
this reinforcement TO the great army
of American wage u is likely
to increase many fold as the industry
is further developed. 1t is facts just
this sort that makes votes for The
Republican party and protection
