WASHINGTON. May 1l.-An evening
paper has this account OF the trouble BE-

tween himself and President Cleveland.
Rawlins Of Utah telegraphed to Governor
West his resignation OF his seat In con.
Rress. The trouble Was over the distribu-
tiUn Of federal patronage in Utah. IL 10
said that hot words passed between tho
two and that there was nm exciting scene.
Certain Il is that when Rawlins left the
presidents room hts face was flushed
with anger and he was laborina undsr
great excitement. The incident occurrsd
last Saturday. Rawlins had had two
or three previous interviews with ths
presiden. and made certain recommends
tions for his appointment in hls territory.
He came to SEQ what action Cleveland
was going to take In these cases and was
fortunate enough to have . private con-
ference With tho president.
He soon discovered that Presidsut
Cleveland had his own views on the sub
ject Of appointments to ONCE In Utah.
Rawiins started in to argue his case and
show why ho was right. The president
cut him short and intimated that there
were other perseus and other interests

DURING the war, Generals held
their commands while victorious, but
when they lost a battle, no matter
what the cause, they were relieved
and some one else took their place.
We think the National Republican
Committee ought to have applied
this rule to Chairman Carter, who
was in full command when the Re-
publican party was defeated last fall.
A defeated commander is not feared
by the enemy or respected by his
own followers, like one who has never
been clicked" Take Senator Quay,
for instance. If he were to take
command of a political campaign,
his splendid generalship in 1888
would at once S every Republi
can in the country of victory. Not
only SO, but his name, as comman-
der would strike terror into the
ranks of the opposition.

The first battle to be- fought hav-
ing reference to the great contest of
1896 will be in the election of Gov
ernor in Ohio this fall. The Repub,
cans have decided on an early con-
vention, in next month, and it seems
to be conceded that Governor Nc
Kinley will be nominated for re-elec-
ton without opposition. The close
vote in Ohio between Harrison and
Cleveland has encouraged the Dem
ocrats to believe they can defeat Mr.,
Mckinley. His election by a large
majority makes him a probable can
didate for the Republican nomina-
ton for President in 1896, while his
defeat not only ends his aspiration
in that direction, but makes his sue
cessful opponent a probable success
or to Grover Cleveland as the Demo
cratic candidate for President. These
considerations will make the contest
in Ohio one of interest to all parties
in all the States.

hit the fish not your hand.

The Chattanooga Times of last
Sunday has a letter from it's special
correspondent in this place, giving
an account of the Graded School
Commencement and some interesting
facts as to the Presbyterian General
Assembly now in session, in which
we find the following:
Rev. C. HI. Polhemus, who has been
pastor of the Second Presbyterian
church for the past year, will leave for
Iowa about the last of June, where he
will engage in teaching. Rev. DR.. Da-
vid Wills, of Philadelphia, Pa, who
will spend his vacation in East Tennes-
see, will act temporarily for this church
during July and August. n \ = Col.
Reeves, the new editor of the Herald
and Tribune, is making quite a spicy
and readable paper of that journal.
From the present outlook w, p. Brown
low will be pretty apt to receive the Re-
publican nomination for Congress in
1894, without any primary election.

For a year past it has been feared
that cholera would revisit the United

While there are no present indica-

pared for any emergency that may
arise. An ounce of prevention is
worth more than a pound of cure.

Senator James A. West.

The following clipping from a recent
number of the Knoxville Journal will
be read with no little degree of inter-
est by the many friends of Senator
James A. West. Senator West is
watching the proceedings of the Du-
Bose impeachment trial with the eye
of an Argus; and will use every OPP
p%ortunity that presents itself to unearth
as much as possible of the frauds and
corruptions of the vile rings that rule at
Memphis-the great Sodom of Democ-
racy. If Tennessee only had a Legis-
lature composed of such men BIS he,
we would not now be suffering from
the evil effects of iniquitous double
taxation laws /; nor would we be under
the necessity of bearing the heavy
burdens of long drawn out investiga-
ton committees and impeachment
trials. But then Democracy is a lux
ury that our people seem determined
to enjoy-even if it does come high.
Special to the JOURNAL.
NASHVILLE, May 13.-While w. B.
Gibson, witness for the State in the Du-
Bose impeachment case, was on the
witness stand today, Senator West
asked witness if there had been any
ballot box %stuffing in elections in Mem
phis.
Witness said there had been an at
tempt to stuff ballot boxes in a Demo-
cratic primary.
Senator West then asked if there had
been any ballot box stufing in any
regular election.
Witness replied that there had.
Senator West then asked if any one
had been prosecuted in the criminal
court of Shelby County for this offense.
Witness replied saying there had

The Democrats became restless at
this point and a Democratic Senator
moved to take a recess and a ecess
was'taken.

WHEN the Republican party was in
power, Democratic editors and cross
road politicians, held it responsible
for all the misfortunes of life. 1t is
amusing now to e the Reuse and
eason assigned for hard times"
since the Democratic party assumed
power. For all financial troubles,
the free silver craze is made the
scapegoat. The fact is the country
is afraid to trust the Democratic
party, which has been on all sides of
all financial questions, and today is
without a defined and well under
stood position with reference to pend
