he intended it or not, greatly en-.
couraged law breaking and greatly
retarded our efforts toward the sup,

HARDEMAN COUNTY POLITICS.
A. VERY CURIOUS STATE OF AFFAIRS.
Phe Alliance Forced a Republican on a
Democratic Primary.

A curious state of affairs exist in
Hardeman County, says the Jack
son Times, growing out Of the part
being taken by the Alliance i'll poll
itics.
A few days since the Times, from
the best information at hand, pub
lished that Campbell, a straight
Democrat, had been elected at the
primary election. This was a mis-
take; Sweaton, the Alliance candi-
date, was elected, the vote for as
SCISSOR being as follows: Sweaton,
466; Campbell, 359; Woods, 238;
Mcdonald, 100. But the queer
part of the business is that Sweaton
is not a Democrat, but is a Repub-
hcan. He makes no secret of his
politics, but boldly declares that he
is a Republican. He announced
before the primary election. was
held that he was a Republican, and
at the precinct when he offered to
vote the judges would not allow him
to vote because he was Republi-
can; yet he ran as candidate be-
fore the Democratic primary and
was elected by Alliance votes. just
what will be done has not yet been
decided upon, but the Democracy
Of Hardeman County finds itself in
dilemma, and the question with
the Democrats is whether, having
elected a Republican, they are
bound to support him. This is the
way the Alliance in Tennessee is
treating the Democrats.
The Democratic executive com.
mittee should have taken the bull
by the horns in short order, an(
made an end Of such a question by
directing the judges of election tc
throw out all votes for the Repub
lican, OF the executive committee
should have refused to declare hin
elected, andcshould have given thu
nomination to the Democrat receiV
ing the highest number of votes
1t is all nonsense and folly to per
nit any set of men, under the guis
of membership in the party, to fois
apolitical enemy on the party on
who belongs to another party.

a snare, and is worse than none.

WHAT HAS 1T DONEq
Some Practical Questions PrOpOunded to
Members of the Alliance.

Members of the Alliance.
The Alliance has been in exist

three years, says an exchange, pro-
Tossing in the outset TO be non-po-
litical, but in view Of its well-known
propensities to engage in politics to
the exclusion Of almost everything
else, it may not be amiss to inquire
what has it done or offered to do for
the interest Of the farmer. Has it
stimulated a desire for the beauti-
full as we'll as the useful? Has it
built new fences, new barns, new
dwellings,, new school houses, and
new churches? Has it reclaimed or
attempted to reclaim old worn-out
farms, or filled up gullies? Under
its stimulating influences how many
new meadows of grass have been
sown and made to contribute to the
comfort ofman and beast? What
percentage Of increase has been re-
allied by our farmers by reason OF
it's influence? What effect has been
produced on our public highways
which are so essential to the well
fare Of the farm? These and many
other similar questions are practi-
cal ones, and ought to be answered
afirmatively. 1t is feared, howey.
er, that these things have received
but little attention and have beer
made subservient to the cry 'please
do loan us little money even at ;
per cent" Politics, politics, poll
lies, is the cry of the schemer,

A LETTER FROM CLEVELAND.
The Ex-Prcsident Wants Sentiment and

In reply to a letter transmitting
to ex-President Cleveland the pro-
ceedings Of the recent Cleveland
meeting in Chattanooga, Mr.. Cleve-
land wrote as follows:
LAKEWOOD, N. j., April 8, 1892.
My DEAR SIR: l desire to thank
you for the report of the meeting
at Chattanooga, which you so kind
ly sent me, and for the friendly
words you spoke of me on that oc-
casion. L am exceedingly anxious
to have our party do exactly the
right thing at the Chicago conven-
ton, and l hope that the delegates
will be guided by judgement and
actuated by true Democratic spirit
and the single desire to succeed on
principle. / should not be frank
if l did not say to you that l often
fear that l do not deserve the kind
things such friends as you say of
me, andI have frequent misgivings
as to the wisdom Of again putting
me in nomination. l, therefore, am
anxious that sentiment and too-un-
measured personal devotion should
be checked when the delegates tc
the convention reach the period Of
deliberation. In any event, there
will be no disappointment for me
in the result.
Yours, very truly,

called the Congressional primaries
to be held September 3. Tom G.
Rye, of Benton County, was elect

friends of Hon. r. P. Cole favored
early primaries at August election,

claimed it would not give him time
after adjournment Of Congress to
canvass the district. The latter
sentiment prevailed and the prima.

A GHOST RACKET.
Two Men Work it to Destroy the Value of
Property They Wish to Buy.

Two Men Work it to Destroy the Value of
Property They Wish to Buy.
A Milan dispatch to the Mem
phis Commercial Saturday says:
For several weeks past the peo-
pie of the twelfth civil district, of
"Skull Bone," have been greatly
exercised over the visitation of an
alleged ghost at cottage near the
Illinois Central Railroad, where a
Mrs. Hill, a widow, recently died.
Mrs. Hill had an only son, an idiot,
who became sole heir to the house
and 100 acres of fine farming land.
In the meantime the relatives were
looking about for purchaser to
turn the estate into money to be
placed in the hands of the boys
guardian. About the time Of this
decision, mysterious lights began
to appear in the room where Mrs.
Hill died. Loud means and walls
were also heard by the terrified
passer-by. AT times woman clad
in spotless linen, her head encircled
with a halo of light, would lightly
trip through the room with a can
die in her hand, and would mystic
riously disappear. A Mr. Phelan,
who went to the house one night re-
Gently was frightened into spasms
and is liable to lose his mind. At
first the citizens Of the community
laughed at the reports, but they
came from so many and such reli-
able sources, that a committee of
investigation was appointed, head
ed by DR.. McAllilly and John Saw
yer, who repaired to the house, de-
termined to unravel the mystery.
They looked in the front window
and heard strange tapping on the
ceiling. Questions were asked and
answered. Then without warning
the white-robed woman entered and
slowly passed away. The party
made a dash into the house determ-
ined to sift the matter to the bot
tom. Mr. Sawyer climbed into the
loft above the room, and saw a bulk
of two forms, and pulling a revolver
prepared to shoot. "Don't shoot"
cried masculine voice, "and we
! will explain ALL" The mystery was
unravelled. They were two men,
one of whom is 60 years of age and
one of the leading citizens of the
; county, and has at different times
S occupied responsible county offices.
: The neighborhood is wildly excited
d over the occurrence. The inten-
: ton of the men was to render the
> property valueless by the ghost
racket and then buy the property
