The New York Platform.

The LEAF. CHRONICLE feels highly
complimented in finding the Mem
phis Appeal valanche, one of the
ablest and most conservative jour
mails in the South, coming around to
the views this paper advanced some
months ago in favor Of the New
York platform. We have insisted
since its adoption that it was the
best platform that had been written !;
that the free coinage advocates could
accept it, and the Democrats having
carried the State by nearly 10000 with
bi-metaism the leading issue, the
national Democracy wanted nothing
better to rally its full strength. We
had some little controversy with our
esteemed contemporary on the silver
feature, and published the platform
for its special benefit.
The remarks of the Appeal are so
rong and to the point Il at we pub.
lish them in full with the same curl
osity ii has concerning the platform
and desire to know who wrote it.
Says the Appeal valanche:
"There is much OF the leaven of
sound Democracy in New York
State, it should be borne in mind.
We recall the admirable platform
which was adopted at the last State
convention, when Roswell Z. Flower
was nominated for governor. 1t was
sound as to the tariff and to the cur
rency. 1t was model declaration
in every respect. 1t is, therefore,
greatly to be doplored that faction
al spirit has developed among the
Democrats of the State, due largely
to individual ambitions. The Dem
ocrats of the country would like to
know from whose brain the platform
sprang. He must have been very
honest, very clear headed and a
very patriotic Democrat. 1t was
liked nightly in the West and
South. 1t was not evasive, neither
was it too radical. 1t was just right.
There is always, in a great
convention, somebody who holds
the pen and does the hard
thinking, and the Appeal.Ava-
lanche thinks the author of the
New York platform should be
known to fame. Possibly he is the
man whom the New Workers should
nominate for President. Perhaps
the esteemed Advertiser, of New
York City, which has way of get
ting at these things, could secure the
interesting Information. If it was
written by Mr., Croker, of Tammany
Hall, much will be forgiven. If it
was the product of Mr.. Hill's mind,
the publication of the fact will do
him grea. credit. If it was devised
by Gov, Flower, recognition of his
handiwork at this time would be OPP
perfume, indeed. The praises of the
author should be sung in the land.
The Democratic party of the country
Is Just now in quest of statesmen, and
there was one, surely, concealed in
the New York convention last Sep
tember."

A whole battalion of C's are being
mustered to the front fer the cam
paign. The Republicans have three
to draw from for the presidential
ticket-Cullom, Clarkson and Carne-
gle. One set of Democratic boomers
are parading the names of Cleveland,
Carlisle and Campbell, and would be
happy if two could be..drawn from
this trio. Here in Tennessee for the
gubernatorial contest Editor Car,
mack's boom has gone up in flash
like sky.rocket, LUMINOSITY peram-
bulating the heavens and knocking
the stars out of their constellation.
The Chattanooga Press rises up
with the emphatic declaration, VOW
ing that if the Democrats do nomi-
nate Ed. Carmack, the Republicans
will pit against him, Christopher CO.

Whereupon Tatom, of the Knox
vile Tribune, suggests the danger of
allowing Orator Collins to enter the
race until at least one fire engine and
hose reel well manned, accompanies
him. Let us pray.

THE RIGHT OF WAY.
The Belief that it Will be Granted by the
City Council.

The report comes from a reliable
source that the City Council commit
tee will report favcrably with regard
to the right of way along Second
street for the GAINESVILLE and New
Providence Street Railway Co. 1t is
said that the only item that hangs
fire at all is the matter of adjusting
toll over the Red river bridge, and
it is believed that this will be salts
factorily arranged.
If this line is built it will cut down
receipts at the bridge. People will
hitch their horses at New Providence
and ride over on the cars rather than
pay toll at the bridge. The advo
Gates of the enterprise claim that the
line will increase the receipts of
GAINESVILLE merchants considerably,
however. Many dollars, they think,
that are now spent at New Provi-
dence will come here when the trip
can be made for ten cents.
Some think that the hill going
from the bridge TO New Providence
will be too steep for cars, but there is
little likelihood of this giving any
trouble.
The plan, as the LEAF CHRONICLE
understands it, is to leave the pike
at the bridge, run the car track
north of the same, bridge the ravine
and strike the pike again at Peyton
Caraway's cabin on top of the hill.
This would diminish the grade con.
siderably and would not interfere
with wagons on the hill.
The projectors of the enterprise
seem to be in earnest and propose to
begin work as soon as the right of
way is granted.

r. H. Clifford, New Cassel, Wis,
was troubled with Neuralgia and
Rheumatism, his Stomach was dis
ordered, his Liver was affected to an
alarming degree, appetite fell away,
and he was terribly reduced in flesh
and strength. Three bottles of Elec.
trio bitters cured him.
Edward Shepherd, Harrisburg, H.,
had running sore on his leg of eight
years standing. Used three bottles OF
Electric Bitters and seven boxes OF
Bucklen's Arnica Salve, and his leg is
sound and well. John Speaker, Ca
tawba, o., had five large Fever sores
on his leg, doctors said he was incu-
rable. One bottle of Electric Bitters
and one box of Bucklen's Arnica
Salve cured him entirely. Sold at

themselves be honoredi and loved by

off my perch. Then it walked
around the tree few times, snuffed

A Brave Patriot.

In Lexington fight, a detachment
of British rushed towards the
church, with the intention of de-
stroying it, and shooting the Rebels.
The villagers, with the exception of
one man, escaped by flight; he,
singly, stood his ground. They
commanded him to throw down his
arms and surrender; his bold reply,
"Never." They were about to en-
ter, when in a calm, clear voice he
warned them to desist, telling them
if they entered it would be at the
peril of their lives; for rather than
have their church desecrated by
British tyrants, he would fire the
magazine which was within a foot
of where he stood, and blow them
to atoms. They advanced a step
further, when he, in fearless, de-
liberate manner cooked and leyeled
his gun, and directed it at the mag
azine, which contained a large
quantity of powder; whereupon the
redcoats, greatly terrified, beat a
hasty retreat, leaying the church
in the possession of the intrepid
Yankee, who would have willingly
sacrificed his life to the cause of
liberty. Not only was the powder
in the magazine saved, to be used
afterwards with telling effect upon
the enemy, but also the declaration
of peace and independence, at the
conclusion Of the war, was read in
the same old church, and upon
every returning birthday of the
nation, till at last it was destroyed
by an accidental conhagration.-
The above-says correspondent
was related to me by descendant
of the brave man. The memory of
the hero who performed this noble
act should be perpetuated; his name
was Joshua Simonds.
