than twenty negro Representatives
from the South will render the Re-
publican control of the future Con-

WILL 1T WORK ?

MCDOWELL confesses that he has
agreed to vote the members of the
third party for Republicans with
out even asking their permission.
Has it come to this, that a white
man in Tennessee with a spark Of
Democracyleft in him can no longer
exercise the right to vote and think
for himself? Has MCDOWELL only
to say the word and land them all
in the Republican pen? He has
confessed as much, and now openly
boasts Of his bargain with the Re-
publicans. But lit seems that in his
confession to Mr.. ENLoEat Conyers-
vile last week MCDOWELL was dis
Greet enough not to expose all the
features Of the unholy combine be-

lican leaders in Tennessee. It now
develops that they have agreedupon
the following scheme as the most
plausible means Tin their estima-
tom to accomplish their purpose

ever it was left to a disciple of Nc
DowELL in this county to give the

he informed a group Of Democrats
that if MCDOWELL and the Repub-
licans conclude that WINsTEAD is
the stronger Of the two, BUCHANAN
will be withdrawn and the thirC
party vote given to WINsTEAD; or
if they decide that BUCHANAN il
stronger than WINsTEAD, the latter
will be withdrawn and the Repub

any event che Republican and thirC
party vote will be concentrated OF

A REPUBLICAN, GAME.

The Carroll County Democrat
says that a Republican from an adj
joining county, while in CONVERSE
ton with a friend at Huntingdon,
whom he also took to be Republi-
can, few day ago, gave away a very
important political secret. He said
in his county it was understood by
the Republicans who are now men,
bers Of the third party that they are
to vote the Republican ticket, but
are to make their Democratic third
party friends believe different, So
as to insure their vote for BUCH-
ANAN, and thus weaken TURNEY,
while WINsTEAD will poll his full
strength. He said he understood
the same game was being worked
very successfully in Carroll County.
There is little doubt that the same
game is being worked in Benton
County, as the Republicans will
keep faith with their third party
allies only just so long as it is to
their party interest to do so. Will
Democrats be caught mapping?

umph at the polls, either by way Of ad-
vocating its cause on the stump or by
lending his influence priyately; for dur
ing the present federal administration
the Republican party has very emphat-
ically announced to the negroes of Ten
nessee that they are wanted only at yot-
ing times.
1t was once the boast of the Republi-
can party that it was the party of equal
civil privileges to all men, and great NOR
al ideas, but my study of its present per
sonnet and its policy forces me to the CON
yiction that the party of Sumner has lost
its identity. Twenty-Five years ago it
was dominated by devotees OF liberty and
of the equality of men; but to-day it is
bossed by spoilsmen and minions of cor
porations. Then it championed the
cause of the oppressed; but now it has
become the oppressor. tits no surprise
to me that you and all benefciaries of
the party S grace realize the necessity Of
speakers whom the people trust.
a request from you to have your APP
pointment endorsed at this time, coming
to one whom you refused to vote for on
the Harrison ticket of 1888, simply be-
cause he was negro, not only comes
with bad grace, but is an insult to the
negroes Of the country. If should en-
ter the campaign at your request, upon
what ground could | advocate the cause
Of the Republican party before the ne
gro voters? Shall I say that the Repub-
lican party freed him? Then I am con-
fronted by the fact that the same party
has spent twenty years in enslaving him
politically.
But you may reply gratitude! You
are doubtless aware that love is foreign
to politics at present, and am quite sure
that love for the negro was not the force
which led to the emancipation of the
slaves of the country From this point
of view the man whose conduct in poll
tics is governed by a sense of gratitude
for past blessings will soon have small
prospects for the future favors. Since
parties are made of men, it does seem to
me that the Republican party ought to
be grateful to the negro for lengthening
it's existence twenty years; for you are
too well informed for me to remind you
that the Republican party could not have
elected President during this period il
it had not been for the loyalty of the ne
gro vote.
CROSTHWAIT continued at con-
siderable length to review the att.
tude Of the Republican party to the
negro from GRANT and his "pecul.
lar notions" down to the present
administration, and asks the ques,
ton: "What has the Republican
party done or tried to do for the
negro in the last twenty years?'
He answers it by saying that "fol
my part, | can not see that it has
done anything but hoodwink him
and destroy his peace and prosper
ity at home"
He makes the charge that there
is an understanding amongst the
white leaders of the Republican
party in the South and all over the
nation, as far as that matter goes
to make the Republican party "re
spectacle" by declaring the negro
from political preferment. He ad
ministered a scathing rebuke to tn,
presumption Of Postmaster WILLS
and the Republican party, and ask
ed to be excused.

is a rank and file now of the third
party in Tennessee have had their
eyes opened, and in a manner that
leaves no room for doubt in their
mind of the combine between their
leaders and the Republicans.
The facts Of the deal was extort-
ed from Mcdowell 10y Hon. b. A.
Enloe in a joint political discus
sion in Henry County. For some
time the thirdpartyites of thatcoun-
ty have been Boosting that Demo-
cratic speakers were afraid to meet
their speakers in joint discussion.
Mcdowell had an appointment
to speak at Conyersville last Friday
andatSpring Greek Saturday. The
chairman Of the Democratic exec
utive committee Of Henry County
arranged for a division of time be-
tween Mcdowell and Hon. B. A.
Enloe at the two appointments.
Mr.. Enloe opened at Conyers-
vile in a speech Of an hour and a
half, and the issues were presented
with fervor and ability. He took
up the "Toiler Campaign Book"
"Cleyeland VS.. Democracy" and
proved it to be a "new brand of con-
centrated lie; warranted to soil ev-
erything it touched"
He refuted its falsehoods, and
charged Mcdowell with making a
trade with the Republicans in this
State, and called on him to explain
why it was that Alf Taylor and
Houk were running for Congress
with no third party candidate
against them, while every Demo-
cratic candidate has a third party
candidate arrayedagainsthim. He
charged that the deal embraced the
general assembly, and that the pur-
pose was to deliver the third party
over to the Republican party and
to help the Republicans control
Congress.
Mcdowell replied in speech of
an hour and a half devoted mainly
ACKNOWLEDGMENT ard attacks
on Enloe. He admitted he had
. made a deal with Republicans. He
said the agreement was that the
Republicans should run candidates
where they stood a chance to elect
and where they stood no chance
, they should support the third par
ty candidates. He said they die
not intend to fight Alf Taylor an6
, Houk, who would have no opposi,

Third district and in the Eighth
