Strong Men of the Future.

We give hearty amen to the fol-
lowing, from the Popular Science
Monthly:
1.-The times are favorable, we think,
for the presentation of new political
ideas. Strong men Of the old type,
iron handed warriors and stern legis-
iators, are out of date. On the other
hand, the want of firmness and prin-
ciple in connection with political
affairs was never more conspicuous.
We want a new race of strong men,
in whom the gamester element shall
be wholly absent, and who shall aim
10 accomplish their ends not by
personal tours de force, nor yet by
craft and flattery, but by steady adj
herence to principle and patient
efforts to awake the public to sense
Of their true interests.
THE strong man of the future will
be strong in knowledge and in social
sympathy, and his strength will be
spent, not in efforts to perpetuate hi
personal asceudency, but in efforts t"
ueNtlOib All lildA 10 DC7I III IAO SOC4Cby
Of the time. The true strong man, a.
we conceive him, will have no greed
for power; his greed, If such it may
be called, will be for usefulness, ana
he Will show his strength by his will
ingness to retire at any moment from
a public to a private position rather
than prove unfaithful to his convic-
tons or do anything unworthy Of a
man of honor.
"Strictly speaking, man who with
adequate knowledge and intelligence
tries faithfully to serve the public can
never be Obscured, though office
should not seek him nor caucuses
make mention of his name. The
public at large will recognize and
honor his efforts, and his influence
may be greater in a private station
than that of score of average legis-

Judge Turnex,s Speech.

We give to our readers in supple
ment form this week Judge Turney's
great speech; the opening gun OF the
campaign, and loud gun it is. For
boldness, for terseness, for logic, for
pure Democracy, its equal has rarely
ever been heard or read. Better than
anything we can say of il, it reads
for itself. We commend it es-
pecially to Democrats who are MEM
bers of the Alliance. II we had
a list of the Alliance members
in the county, we would take
it upon ourselves to send each
and every one of them a copy. 1t
shows to them SO plainly and proves
to them so fully what place-hunters
and politicians and demagogues have
done to deceive them, that many,
very many, must and will be made
to see the treachery and deceit of the
Alliance leaders and refuse longer to
follow them. We will not attempt
review of the master effort: we
hope every man will read it carefully
for himself. We will give it our full
endorsement ia few words, by say
ing, "them's our sentiments"

Facts TO Vote On,

1.-THE Governor shall receive a sta
ted compensation which shall not be
increased or diminished during the
period for which he shall have been
elected" Art. iii: Sec. Z, COnstitu-
ton of Tennessee"
Gov. Buchanan has received be-
tween 81, go and 81, 800 more than his
stated compensation, and under the
Understanding act will receive ST.
700 to s., 900 mOre-all under bills APP
proved by him, contrary to the Con-
stitution. Review and APP
peal.
Gov. Buchanan is the only Gov
ernor ever elected by the people of
Tennessee who has taken from the
treasury of the State greater salary
than that provided by the cOnstitu-
tiOu of the State for it's executive.
What do voters think of their ALI
anee candidate? -Nashville Ameri-
can.
1t appears to us that the above is a
plain case of ''salary grab" And IL
further appears to US that the people
will revenge it as they did the Con-
gressiOnal salary grab in years gone
by. Perhaps Governor Buchanan
did not know he was doing anything
wrong when he became a party to
this scheme to fitch the pockets of
the people; but then it has often been
said--and we think truly said-that
the fortunes of people are safer in
the hands of a rascal than in the
keeping of fool.

THE initial number of the COLUM-
BIA DAILY HERALD will appear next
Monday afternoon. We hope the
people Of this town and county will
assist us in building up an enterprise
that will build up Columbia and
Maury County. We have not been
able to canvass for subscribers as
fully as we should; we intend to do
more of that, however, hereafter. In
the meantime we will send free to
any and everybody who will send us
their names and addresses, sample
copies. We have made the paper a
size commensurate with its surround
ings, and what there is of it will be
full of interesting reading. We have
determined not to tart with flour
ish and simmer down; but to start
moderately and grow with the town.
If the people will subscribe for ii
then the merchants will advertise in
it and it will be a success and your
city, of which you are justly 80 proud,
will have daily paper. Will you
contribute your mite of ten cents h
week? Think of it, only ten cents
week. You ought to do that much
for Columbia if you never read the
paper.

SOME of our farmers have been put
to some inconvenience by the negro
exodus Of the last few weeks. The
negroes, however, have been put to
greater Inconvenience. The news
from Utica, n. Y, where they went,
says they are all disappointed, dis
satisfied, and many of them suffering.
The Louisville Post gives column
to the "NegrO refugees and their little
tale of Woe" Ninety of them, it says,
are there, trying TO work their way
back to Columbia. 1t is always thus,
Every once and a while the negroes
are lured North by the car load, to
find out their sad mistake when they
are thousands of miles from home,
without friends and without money.
Perhaps it is all for the best. They
will be wiser men and better workers
and more satisfied when they get
back to the old plantation cabin.
Whenever a negro goes North he
quickly learns what many OF them
will not believe until they have tried
it, that the Southern man Is not only
his best friend, but his kindest mas

South needs the negro.

HINDER the circumstances it is not
too early perhaps to begin to make
figures. Nine counties have held
their conventions or primaries. or
these Shelby County need not be
counted, because the vote will be
evenly divided between Turney and
Buchanan, and therefore will have
no effect Oh the general result.
Rutherford cannot be counted, be-
cause Gas is admitted by both sides)
there being a split in the party in
Rutherford, and a separate Turney
and Buchanan delegation going up,
the Buchanan delegation will be
seated if Mr.. Buchanan has ma
iority of the State convention, and
the Turney delegation will fare like
wise if Turney has the majority. So
really the State convention will speak
for the county of Rutherford. So
this leaves seven counties to be
counted as follows. TO-wit: Scott
County, votes for Turney; Claiborne
County IL votes for Turney; Hamilton
County, votes for Buchanan; HaW-
kins County, IL votes for Buchanan
and for Turney; Hardeman County,
: for Buchanan and II for Tdrney {;
Granger, 8 for Turney; Williamson,
1917 for Turney, 534 for Buchanan.
This gives Judge Turney 594 in
structed votes, to Mr.. Buchanan's
323I; Turney lacking only "a votes
of having the necessary tWo-thirds
majority. Maury will more than
make up that little difference for HIM
In studying these figures it should be
remembered that Mr.. Buchanan
Iieutenants had chosen these counties
as vantage ground from which to
start the Ocalaite's boom. Shelby, be-
cause his appointees there were con
fideut they could control it III trde-
man. because it is known to be one
of the strongest Alliance counties in
the state. Williamson, because OF
the warming fondness for 1.-The boys
of old Williamson, the home OF my
vouth.u Rutherford, because it Is
Mr.. Buchanan's home county. If he
is defeated in his own selected coun-
ties nearly two to one, what may be
expected in an open field aud fair
fight?
LArER.-Wilson County Monday
selected a delegation instructed to
vote as a unit for Turney. Dekalb
sends delegation three-fOurths of
whom will vote for Judge rurney.

Is if a Came of Grab7


The Buchanan healers of Shelby
set the p ncious example Of try ny
to steal the delegation to the next
gubernatorial convention, and follow
ing close upon their heels came the
Rutherford County strangers in
like effort, and now, we are sorry to
note, the Turney men of Wilson
are found following in their wake.
The HERALD condemns all such
proceedings, coming from whatever
side they may. We believe, in the
first place, that Judge Turney can
win without resort to any such un-
fair methods. In the second place,
if he cannot we prefer to go down in
honorable defeat rather than to be
disgraced by such victory. In the
third place, we do not believe Judge
Turney would accept a nomination
given him through trickery, fraud or
corruption. His record as soldier,
iurist and man is opposed to all such
practices.
In this county the fight promises to
be strongly contested, hard fought
battle. We honestly believe that
with proper organization Judge Tur-
ney's friends can carry the county
at the same time we frankly admit
they have no walk over. But what
ever the result, we want to see fair,
clean, full expression of the peoples
wishes, and willing obedience tC
the will of the majority.
The committee in this county, when
called to act, should be moved solely
and alone by sense of duty to theil
constituents and by a desire tC
strengthen Democratic organization
and Democratic principles. We
have no reasons to believe that the
committee can be used in the Interest
of any man on the contrary we hope
and believe their work will be done
according to the Democratic prece'
dents and for the success of Demo
cratic principles. Then when the
committee has spoken, we believe II
to be the duty of Democrats 20 fight
the battle on the lines marked out

THE precedent of a second term IN
office is based entirely on the idea of
endorsement. By giving a second
term the party means to say, "we-en-
dorse the administration" Can hon.

Gov, Buchanan's administration
Do you, as a Democrat, endorse the
administration of a Governor who
saws, "when the Alliance has formu-
lated its demands and the majority
have adopted them, the minority
must support them ?"-binding you
politically to the Alliance demands,
whether they are Democratic or not.
Do you endorse the administration OF
a man who attended the Oeala con-
vention, voted for the Ocala platform
behind closed doors, and then allowed
some of his more Democratic friends
to state the contrary to the public,
and never denied their statement?
Do you endorse the administration of
man who, to gain votes, will will
ingly, purposely and premeditatedlY
permit part of his party to believe
one thing and another part another?
Do you endorse the administration of
| a man who will condOne a lie? Do
you endorse the administration of a
Democrat who will permit the first
| lieutenant of his administration to
travel the State over organizing secret
| political societies, denouncing all the
leading Democratic Congressman and
Senators, boycotting the leading
Democratic papers, and disrupting
the straight Democratic organization ?
Do you endorse the administration of
man who, contrary to plain con-
stitutioual provision, will atf1x his
official name to bills that will double
his incOme-at the expense of the
people? Do you endorse the politi-
cal administration of a man whose
political principles you do not know?
Do you know what are Gov. Buch-
anan's political principles? Do you,
as matter of fact, after taking every
thing into consideration, endorse Mr.
| Buchanan's administration? Ii you
do, then vote to endorse him. If you
do not, then the second term argu-
ment should have no force with you
at all.

THE Toiler, our noble organ of our
noble order, in its last issue has this
to say: "There may have been some
cause to condemn an Independent
movement of the people in the past,
but there can be none in the future.
Both OF the old party leaders
act in concert, and according to the
will of the plutocrats, and the time
has come for the people to assert their
power and right in way that will be
felt" What does that mean if it
does not mean that the state organ OF
the Alliance is trying to lead the Alii-
ance into the Third Party? Further
on in the same article is this para
graph: "There is no old time De-
moc-acy among the leaders of the
Democratic party of to-day" An!
What is the matter with Buchanan ?
He says he is a Democrat. The
TOiler is Mr.. Buchanan's state organ
and we suppose it speaks by the
record: we have it therefore from his
own organ that he is not an "Old-time
Democrat" What kind of a Demo-
crat is he then? Is he an Ocala plat
form Democrat or a Third Party
Democrat He will not answer.
Will the Democrats of Maury vote
for him without knowing, or will
they vote for an Old-time Democrat
like Judge Turney!

THE Buchanan men have a cold
way of comforting themselves. They
figure that buchanan held his own
last Saturday." and that seems per-
fectly satisfactory to them. He did
not; but then suppose he did! Sup
nose Mr.. Buchanan should get the
vote of every county he carried be-
fore. Suppose he should go to the
with the same number OF
votes he had before. Then his name
would be Dennis, in big letters. He
would have less than half the con-
vention and Judge Turney would
lead him about hundred votes. The
hitter feeling between the Patterson
and Baxter men contributed largely
to the Allianceman's success. The
fisht is single handed this year, and AM.
according to their own figuring the
Ocalaite il not in 1t.

THROUGH the courtesy of Mr.. o. e.
Armstrong, of Memphis, a novel lit
tie book finds its way to our table.
1t is issued from the firm of w. r.
Moore & Co., and the poet of the boys
breathes his lullabies upon every
page. When Williams muse for
sakes him, he HES himself to someS
body else's muse, for rhymes are as
necessary to his blood as scrap iron
and old leather to the digestive or
gans of a goat. The little work Is
unique and entertaining, and at some
more convenient season we will fol-
low the example Of the compiler and
s'borrow" from it, without leave or

IT IS really amusing to listen to the
cry Of many of the Buchanan men
when they talk about the 'subsi-
died" press reading them out of the
party. 1t is plsintive way they have
of solidifying the Mugwump vote.
They 90 to them and say "aOe are be-
ing read out of the party; Ue must
stand shoulder to shoulder" They are
as mad as they can be, some OF them,
because the Democratic party still
tolerates them and the Democratic
press persists in trying to save them.
You may always question the De-
mocracy Of any man who talks about
any speaker or any paper trying to
read him out of the party. Every man
OF average intelligence knows
whethe. be is q Democrat or not, and
those who are most sensitive to eriti-
cIsm are those who know they most
deserve 1t.

You cannot vote to endorse a part
of one administration without en-
dOrsing the whole. Mcdowell is the
apPOintee and the most active, asser-
tiva, controlling factor in Buchanan's
cabinet. To endorse Buchanan's adj
ADMINISTRATION is to endorse Mcdowell.
A vote for Buchanan is a vote for
Mcdowell. 1t would be fortunate
for the state if il were otherwise, but
this is the cold logic of the situation.
