large this year, but the number Of Re-
publicans will be infinitely 0
numerous next year.
johnson City staff: Mrs. Sue E.
Mathes and Miss Essie Mathes, daughter
of John S. Mathes, Of Jonesboro. were
visisting at DR.. c. Kings Tuesday.
From the Erwin Magnet we learn
that Zoe Mahonsy, James Campbell,
Dick Russell and j. A. FEBRUARY, of
this place, were in Erwin last week.
Bristol Courier 1t seems like the.
more lynchings we have, the more
we are apt to have. Its something like
catching flies the more you trap, the
fewer you get rid of.
Rogersville Herald /: Some men have
humiliations thrust upon them; other
men bring it npon themselves. The
Governors of several States have
lately joined the latter class.
Knoxville Journal: The Centennial
State voted for a change and hundreds
are being fed by charity in Denver.
The change came earlier than was ex-
pected apd in a different way.
Tennessee Tomahawk All parties
agree that the hard times are caused
by want of confidence. Now, what
causes the Want Of confidence. Let
the present administration stand up
and answer.
Bristol Courier. Hard times are
marching through Georgia again, from
Atlanta to the sea. Sherman is not
along this time, but the spectre of the
Sherman act hovers over the march
likes shadow from the Colorado mines.
Rogersyille Review The country
is suffering from Republican misrule.
We have had no legislation since the
Democratic party came into power.
The cause of hard times can not be
laid at the door of the Democratic
party. The country may expect relief
when Congress meets.
Knoxville Record: The standing
army Of the State, rendered necessary
by the convict lease system, costs the
State for the year previous to July LIST,
$3.50, 900. Of this SEC, 1000 was for the
State encampment. A standing army
in time of peace is an expensive super
fluffy, and convict labor in compe-
tition with honest free labor, is dis
grace to the State. These evils should
be remedied.
Athens Athenian /: If this country
should be inflicted with a continuation
in power of the Democratic party the
titles of 'sGovernor, Colonel, "''Cap-
tain" and "Maiak" would become SO
common that foreigner might think
the nation had been a great army
which had lost all Its private soldiers
in battle. A man who is an applicant
for Office no wadays and can't support
the titl4 of 'sColopel" ism t in it.
Greensburg lind. Argument: 1.-THE
Worst is Over" almost daily announ-
ces the subsidized psess and then to
prove the assertion, q lot more banks
fail, thousands of more people are
robbed, in full or in part, of their de.
posts, and the game goes merrily on,
and that which the people lose, plutoc'
racy gains, and hell and corrupt poll.
tics laugh together at the situation,
while the people want for bread. The
man who would change all this ia of
a fool and a crank"
Knoxville Republican Under Re-
publican administrations and protec-
tive tariff policies, American working
men work ut good wages in American
mills, shops, mines and factories, and
pay American farmers good prices for
the products of the farms, the money
remains in circulation among the PEG.
pie of the country; all this is prosperity.
Under u free trade tariff and Demo
cratic administration, American mills.
shops, mines and factories stand idle,
farmers must sell their products low
because our money is sent abroad ia
pay for foreign manufactured goods.
The result is idle workingmen, scarcity
of money and hard times. This is u
lesson that we learn by experience
every time the Democratic party gets
full control of the Government.
