John Buchanan, in attempting to pilot
his fIabergasted boom through the po-
liticaI waters, is merely giving am imita-
ton of ''the dead steered by the dumb"
Maybe the Hon. Wilson Baptist mis-
takes himself for force bill.
The noise made by the Hill boom
sounds very much like an aggravated
case of death-rattle.
Mcdowell, Baptist and men OF that
stripe have adopted policy of rule or
ruin. They would il. tiniteIy prefer the
destruction OF the Democratic Party to
the defeat of their candidate. There is
no depth to which they wilt not stoop i'll
the effort to defraud the Democracy OF
Tennessee, and if they cannot make II
the subserviant tool of their ambition
they will do their utmost to destroy 1t.
The Knoxville Tribune denies that i'm
criticising such men az Mcdowell ana
Tucker it is saying anything against
the farmers. 1t is part OF the pollcy oil
these jaw-bOne farmers TO construe
every reflection upon themselves as
direct insult to every man who tills the
soil. Mcdowell, Tucker and the like
are no more farmers than they are
statesmen. They have b. en- prospect
! ing for soft snaps ever since they were
old enough to shirk honest work with
out being licked for laziness, and either
one OF them would fall dead if he were
ordered to gee-haw sorrel mule and
split the glebe with a bull-tongue pillow.
Jehazy and the ant-eater do all their
farming in the shade. Neither one of
Them ever started an honest perspira-
| ton in his life.
Cleveland's "misgivings" are not
shared by the people.
The Hill boomers are trying to stand
an empty bag on end.
When you hear man claiming to be
.he farmers friend" yon may know
that he is ont for tue stun.

The white r publicuns OF TsxHs are
hoiding conventions and serving notice
that no Niger noed apply. The at
tempt of our white rnpu blican friends
in the South to shake the cNlocel broth
er is Il noble effort to achieve puiitica!
reSpac liability, but il will require forty
years quarantine before it viii be safe
TO consider them free from all infec
tious germs. One does not so easily rid
himself of the effect Of long assOcia
ton with the fragrant Numidian; for "a
Col. VIM. r. Moore has we'll said:
! Oh, aSf
if you viii,
= But the scent of the roses will hang round i
| still"
Gov. Buck got a small favor yesterday
: in the shape of the Polk County delega
= ton. Yet like as not he stacked his hat:
2 on Old Pete and lost again.
l Tho Buchanan men begin to deprecat
D the bitterness of the campaign" Fo
| two years they have been blackguardiH;
f every honest Democrat in the state win
f refused to bow TO the Ocala demand,
e Their curses have come home to roost
The circulation liar is of few day
and full of trouble. He cometh up as
=, flower and is cut down. He hecth as
u shadow and cOntinueth not. He has hi
d brief season of glory in which he strut
V and frets his hour upon the stage, an
E then is heard no more. When he fall
q he falls like Lucifer-neVer to ris
, again.-Selah!
Mr.. Ingalls, has "no desire to retur
to public life" And public life havin
no desire to return to Mr.. Ingalls,, W
e may accept it AS settled fact that til
II distance between them will never /
e lessened.

anything they want that Tipto
- county possesses, and they can have
l too, if they will only mention wh'
" they desire. This, too, all on acc1uT

last Saturday. What will you and Til
