A clear conception of the

A clear conception of the
decentralization that would en-
sue in the event of the popu-
lite party acceding to power
in any of the branches of
government, is made appar-
ent by the Endorsements of
that party Of the wild-eyed
factions and the lawless
acts of congregated hood
lums. No sooner had
Coxey shown himself to be
an advocate of impracticable
and fanatic theories, than
the populites determined to
shower honors upon him, and
therefore, nominated him for
congress. In the person Of
Gov. Waite, of Colorado, who
resisted the attempts of the
sheriff and his deputies to put
down instruction in one of
the counties Of that state,
we have an insight as to what
would be done in the event
of the government being con-
trolled by the party of which
he is a member. Senator
Aliens defense of the Coxy-
tie Migrants and Senator PEI
fer's unfolding of those that
destroyed millions of dollars
of property, during the re-
cent railroad strike, were acts
that are not calculated to
prove that either the lives
of the people of this govern
ment or their property would
be kept inviolate in the event
of populite domination. In
combining with the republican
party, the populites have
shown their preference to
the party that subjected the
white people of the South to
military rule rather than the
democratic, party which has
ever contended for the intel
ests of the white people of
the South and for their SUI
premacy. The democracy of
this State should stand shout
der to shoulder in the coming
election, and make the victo-
ry so decisive as will prove
beyond all doubt that the
majority of the citizens Of
this State believe in good
government and not in mis-
rule, anarchism, rapine, riots
and arson.

WE are in receipt of copy of
the ''open letter" by Hon. Josiah Pat
terson on the silver question. 1t
should be read by every voter in
the United States. A more clear
and concise elucidatiOn of that sub
iect, has never been read by us.
The information contained in the
circular shows that Col. Patterson
has a comprehensive knowledge of
the subject treated, and the figures
produced concerning the advance
ment made by the Southern States
when compared with those of the
North Is indeed encouraging to the
Southern people. Col. Patterson
admits that in 1890, he was of the
opinion that silver could be coined
free without affecting the parity of
the two metals, but since that time a
change has taken place. At that
time silver was worth 81. 20 an ounce,
and on that subject, on page %, of the
circular, there appears a clerical
error, (the circular has it ''abOut
that time gold ran up to $I.2O an
ounce" it should have been that sill
yer ran up to sl.2O per ounce, but
since then silver has almost fallen
to one half of the price it was quo
ted in 1890, although the gov
eminent continued to furnish a mar
ket for that metal up to about 10
months ago. But in 1890, India
had not stopped coming silver free,
nor had we experienced then the
panic of 1898. Col. Patterson was no
doubt convinced that the prediction
made by President Cleveland during
his first presidential term, that this
country would go to a silver ba-
sis if silver was purchased indefi-
nitely, was about to be fulfilled, and
for that reason voted for the repeal
of the Sherman law.

Congressional Primaries.

AT a meeting ofthe execu-
tive committee of the Tenth
Congressional District, held
in Memphis Monday, the fol-
lowing resolutions were
adopted:
'FWhereas, The Democratic
Congressional Convention,
assembled in this district in
1890, recommended that in
the future that party candi-
dates tor Congress should be
chosen by a direct vote, and
"Whereas, The method
recommended seems wise and
proper, because it insures to
each candidate an impartial
demonstration of his full
strength, eliminates from a
friendly contest any local in
fiuence that might be employ
ed in favor Of a candidate
living near a place where a
convention might assemble,
brings the choice of a candi-
date near the people, gives
to each voter an equal voice
with every other voter, and
because the direct vote has
met with the declared appro-
val Of the great body of
Democrats, it is theI efore
Resolved, That the candi-
date of the democratic party
for election, as Representa-
tive, from the Tenth Con-
gressional District of Ten
nessee, to the Fifty-Fourth
Congress, shall be chosen by
primary or direct vote of the
party, to be taken on Octo-
Der 10, 1894, in the manner
and by the methods to be
hereafter decided upon by
the committee.
Resolved, That the per-
son receiving the largest num-
Der of votes cast be declared
the candidate of the party
in said Tenth Congressional
District.
The above method of select
ing a congressman gives gem
eral satisfaction. Nothing
could possibly be fairer. Octo-
Der Goth, will give all candi-
dates ample opportunity to

EeTO vote in a democratic prima-
nv and then refuse to support the
nominees, simply because your
particular candidate failed to re-
ceive the nomination, is a species
of political dishonesty of which but
few men can be guilty" The Bull
LETIN hopes that every man in Har-
deman County, who voted in the re-
cent democratic primaries, will
read the above article, which is ia
ken from the Nashville American.
1t is as much the duty of a man who
participates in primary to support
the nominee of that primary, as it is
to pay any other honest debt when
it falls due. Simply a contract,
that's all, and we do not believe the
good democrats of Hardeman COun.

THE Covington Leader is the au.
thority for the statement, that in
districts in Upton County, con-
trolled by populites, the colored
people are not permitted to reside.
The assertion was made by that pa,
per two or three weeks ago, and SO
far, there has been no public denial
of the accuracy of the statement.
With such hatred existing towards
the colored race, it is exceedingly
strange that populites would COM
bine with a party composed, in the
South, principally of cOlOred people,
and it would be stanger still if the
cOlored people would assist in elect
ing to Office candidates of party
whose members in a neighboring
county will not allow them to live
in districts that they control.

Bold Assertion US. Facts

The cotton farmers cannot
be deceived by such rot, as
having every dollar as good
as any other dollar, while
their cotton as good as any
other cotton, and in fact bet
ter than ever before, is selling
for little over half what it
sold when silver was coined,
and our financial policy was
different from what it is now.
-Vicksburg Commercial
Herald.
And cotton is selling for
less than one-third of the
price it brought when there
was scarcely a silver coil to
be seen. How do you recon-
Gle that fact with your
claim that good prices for
cotton depend on silver coin
age?
We don't expect you to
answer, because the ques-
ton is a practical one, going
to the bull's-eye of your the
DRY, and free silverites find
bold assertion much handler
for their purpose than reason.
Not one of your fiat money
would have the har-
dihood to defend such a
proposition as yours in a pub
lie discussion, where he could
be called down to bed rock

President CleYeland's Grounds for
Ordering out Troops.

In using the military power of
the United States to suppress the in
surrection and restore order during
the present outbreak, the President
is acting under the authority of two
acts of Congress, one passed in 1891,
and the other in 1871. Section 5298,
of the Revised Statutes, provides
that whenever, by reason of unlaw-
full distractions, combinations, or
assemblages of persons, or rebellion
against the authority of the govern
ment of the United States, it shall
become impracticable, in the judg-
ment of the President, to enforce,
by the ordinary course of judicial
proceedings, the laws of the United
States within any State or Territory,
it shall be lawful for the President
to call forth the MALTA of any or all
the States, and to employ such parts
of the land and naval forces of the
United States as he may deem nee
essary to enforce the faithful exc
cution of the laws of the United
States, or to suppress such rebellion,
in whatever State or Territory
thereof the laws of the United
State may be forcibly opposed, or
the execution thereof fOrcibly cb-
structed."
The following is the language of
Section 5299 of the Revised Stat
utes:
"Whenever the instruction, do
nestle violence, unlawful combina-
tions, or conspiracies in any State
so obstructs or binders the execution
of the laws thereof, and of the Uni
ted States, as to deprive any portion
or class of the people of such State
of any the rights, privileges, or Inn
muities, or protection, named in the
constitution and secured by the
laws for the protection of such
rights, privileges, or immuities, and
the constitutional authority of State
are unable to protect. or, from any
cause fail in or refuse protection in
such rights, such facts shall be
deemed a denial by such State of
the eqnal protection of the laws to
which they are entitled under the
of the United States;
and in all such cases, or whenever
any such instruction, violence, I'M
lawful combination, or conspiracy, /
opposes or obstructs the laws of the |
United States, or the due execution
thereof, or impedes or obstructs the
due course OF justice under the
same, it shall be lawful. for the

In the Tenth.

That promises to be lively race
for the primary nomination for Con-
gress In the Tenth District. There's
your Uncle Josiah Patterson, who is
a sledge-hammer speaker and well
up in the fine art of politics. He
has made an excellent Congressman
and had the courage on several oc-
casions to express his convictions on
sundry public questions without
first asking permission of the small
politicians in his district. Then
there's Casey Young, that willy old
politician who has grown weary and
impatient of the post of private cit
izenship, and who longs for the
flesh-pots of public life with most
earnest yearning. Casey comes
from Way-Back and brings to the
contest large experience and superb
cunning. And there's Charley Nil
Ter. Everybody knows Charley.
If Charley's career didn't begin in as
remote a political school as Way
Back, he is by no means spring
chicken in the democratic cockpit.
Charley is up on all political points,
and is hustler from the rising of
the sun to the going down of the
same, and, if need were, until that
luminary rises again. Yes, we look
for a lively contest in the glorious
old Tenth where ''the wild and
woody" are wont to disport in the
great country-saving act of furnish
ing majorities to order-Nashville

In business here for some time as broker

suburban village. He went 20 New York
last Monday, and nothing had been heard
from him until the news Of his death was
received by his relatives.
MR Bells brother, who is dentist
here said that he could think Of no reason
why his brother should desire to kill him
self and tho only theory he advances is
that the man was temporarily insane.
DR.. Bell says that his brother had been
subject to terrible nervous headaches, and
he thinks 1t possible that he killed him
self while suffering from one of his peri
odic attacks Of headache.
