Attention is called to the formal an
nouncement in this issue of Hon. John
E. Oliver as q candidate for the State
Senate. Mr.. Oliver was connected with
the Herald and Tribune several years
ago, and is too well known in this
county to require any introduction.
His candidacy was such a surprise to
this office, we naturally sought more
information. To an inquiry Mr.. Oil
yer replied 81 came to town Monday
and found it full of people from the
country. A large number of political
friends began to urge me to run for the
Legislature. The name of my friend,
R. NJ. May, having been so favorably
mentioned for Representative, | said to
a number of these friends that | was
not a candidate, and never expected to
be. This, however, did not stop the So
licitatIons, which came with such flat
tering and complimentary assurances
of support, that | have not only yield
ed to their solicitations, but have alter
ed my intentions and am now a candi-
date for the state Senate
In reply to a question as to Mr.. West
being a candidate, Mr.. Oliver said II
have always been the friend of Hon. j.
A. West, and our people and district
have heartily supported him in all his
contests. / have been with him sever
al times since | came home and he has
never mentioned the question to me. |
have seen no announcement that he was
a candidate, and therefore concluded
that he is not. But if he should be, |
think he and Mr.. Butler have enioyed
these honors long enough to give way
to others, and | appeal to the Republi,
cans and to Mr.. West and his friends
to give me a chance by a clear track in
my own county"
Mr.. Oliver thinks his extensive &C
quaintance with the people of Middle
and West Tennessee, made during the
last four years, will enable him to do
as much or more good for our people
than any Senator in the State. If
nominated MI. Oliver will be elected,
and will discharge the duties as faith
fully as any man who has represented
the district.

COrbett Again.

The suggestion is nOw made, that as
Corbett is in good condition for active
work, he be turned loose in the U. S.
Senate chamber for abouto one hour and
forty minutes to knock the peculiar
courtesy out of that body. The pro-
gramme to be this: Let all the Sena
tors who ask that appointment be al
lowed to Ego over" for the reason that
they desire to investigate, as the execu-
tive did not consult them in making
such appointments; and also, all Sena-
tors who consent to such delays in con-
firmations, be assembled in extraordi
nary executive session-the other Sena-
tors not affected by such peculiar cour-
tesy to retire to the galleries-then
turn Corbett in with an e icouraging
sick him transit glori mundi, restrict
ing him only by this one rule never
hit above the belt whilst you can get in
a fair lick below it; and in all under
the desk cases. use your toot." There
are now reported over six hundred ap
pointm nts unconfirmed for the court
esyn reason above stated; a large num-
Der of which are District Attorneys and
MaTshalls-th their predecessors term hav-
ing expired. Hence, Court business de
layed. l am no great friend of This
Administration but | do think that
Corbets executive action would be
highly beneficial. OLD REPUBLICAN.

What Democracy Has Cost.

l believe that most of the Democratic
papers have quit alledging that the
labor troubles and financial distress of
the country are due to the Mckinley
bill, and not a probable change from
protection to a free trade tariff: as the
best of that class of papers now saw,
that the prevailing distress must con-
tinue until the tariff question is settled
in Congress.
Really, the question is as simple as
opening and shutting a knife. Mer-
chants will buy as few goods as posi-
Bile, if, they expect, soon, to import
goods of the same class at lower rates.
Manufacturers, will not pile up stocks
that may probably have to be sold at
less than cost of production; and will
not buy raw materials if the same are
soon likely to be offered at lower rates.
These facts are the reasons why, for
the past fifteen months factories have
been shutting down, or running on short
time, and, at reduced rates of wages:
and underlying these fact. are the rea-
sons why SO small an amount of sales
and purchases of every kind have been
made since Democracy came into power.
Here is the final result, secret: Careful
statistics show, that since November
1892, the general rate of wages have
been reduced, on an average 10 per
cent; and that this reduction means
that since the date above stated. the
wage earners of the country have re-
ceived for their labor 81, SOC, 900, OOOless
actual cash pay than they did for a like
time before that date. They have been
able to purchase needed supplies a little
cheaper; but, it is safe to say, that re-
duced pay has compelled them to pur-
chase 81, 000, 900 900 less than usual with
them for such time. Therefore, the en-
trance of the Democracy into full power.
up to date, has cost the country wage
earners first at least the sun of ST.
DOC, 900 900; and those with whom such
wage earners deal (second) the same
amount of loss or more; and the gent raj
public, third in the shrinkage of values
in stocks and invested capital, a loss of
that much or more; making an aggre-
gat loss to the country of not less than
5000, 900 900. In other words, the loss
has been greater than our entire out
standing national debt. But, the end
is not yet. If the Democratic free trade
revision is successfully pushed through
Congress, then the losses referred to
must continue in much of its severity
up to the opening of 1897. Though,
tn re is one mode of relief possible.
The Senate may not agree to the House
tariff bill, and then, an agreement be-
tween the two bodies fail, and leave the
present tariff la VS. to remain in full
force. Should hat be the result, bust
ness of all kinds will revive, wages will
go up, and farmers rejoice because of
prosperity in spite of Democratic efforts
to do evil. OLD REPUBLICAN.

THE scheme suggested by the Con-
gressional Executive Committee for
the organization of the Republican
press with a view to unity of work in
approaching campaigns is a most COM
mendable one. The movement is sec
onded by several of our exchanges,
Col. Reeves, of the Jonesboro Herald
and Tribune, suggesting a meeting in
Knoxville, April, 10. 1894. This plan
of work is already in vogue in many
States of the West and we see no rea-
son why it should not result in great
good in Tennessee. We second the
motion OF Col. Reeves and wait for the
motion to be put.-Athenian.
In lieu of Col. Reeves suggestion we
think Chattanooga would be the better
point of meeting. There are some Re-
publican papers in West and Middle
Tennessee, and Chattanooga would be
the most centrally located place.
20 We think our brethren in Middle
and West Tennessee would be benefited
by coming to Knoxville aud take in
Chattanooga as they go home.

COMBINATIONS and rumors of combi-
nations to defeat Mr.. Brownlow need
not alarm or deter his friends anywhere.
The great mass of the Republican par
ty demands his nomination, which is
now conceded by every disinterested
mar in the district, and nothing but bri-
berry, fraud, trickery and corruption can
thwart the will of the party. We have
a letter from a responsible Republican
saying he vas asked to name the
amount of money he wanted to carry
his county against Brownlow. R, pub
%licans, has it come to this, that nomi-
tions are to be bought! No, never in
this district. Rally to the support of
Brownlow, the poor man s friend, and
rebuke the bribers.

OUR information, public and private
is that Mr.. Brownlow's speech in
Greeneville has re~volutionized the con
gressional situation in the good county
OF Greene. He received a perfect ova-
ton, and assurances of support from
sources least expected. Greene County
having two clever gentlemen of her
own aspiring to congress, no effort has
been made to work up a following for
Mr.. Brownlow in that county, but the
speech he made there on the god has set
the woods on fire, SO to speak, and there
is no telling what the outcome may be.
Similar good news reaches us from all
parts of the district, and it is as plain
as the nose ON a man face that the
voice of the people, if obeyed by the
convention. will give Brownlow the
nomination on the first ballot.

KEEP it before the people that all de-
PENDANTS in court without a meritori-
GUS defense want more time. 1t seems
that some candidates for Congress want
more time, too. The people are the
jury, the convention the judge, and
this court meets in Morristown March
8, 1894, to try the claims and merits of
some half a dozen gentlemen for Con-
gress. A plaintiff with a good last is
always ready for trial. If his suit is
prematurely brought, he too wants
more time, and that's what is the mat
ter with some candidates for Congress.

THE TIC PARTY

1t shouts for unlimited silver coinage
in the South and damns it in New York
and the Middle and Eastern States: it
favors free trade in the South and pro-
tecction in Pennsylvania and other
States; its members of Congress from
the South, like Mr.. Enloe, of Tennessee,
wal upon pensioners of the Union
army, and its Congressman from the
doubtful States of the North, like Voor-
hees, of Indiana, warmly expouse the
cause of the pensioner; in the South it
wars upon the National Banking sys.
tenn, in New York and other States, it
warmly supports that system. Advo-
eating no fixed public policy, mol any
settled political principles, trimming its
sails to catch the popular breeze in
every locality, intensely sectional in
every section. and as changeable in hue
as a chameleon. Democracy has more
than outlived any usefulness it ever
may have seemed to possess. Is is the
curse with which the South has been
crowned and with whose foul filaments
she is encircled. 1t has become a can
Ger upon the public morals, a political
leprosy spreading its fostering corrup-
ton and deadly disease through the
whole body polite. tdoes not deserve
to be dignified by the name of a party,
for iii a mere faction, a big mob, whose
~irrevocable nature it is to be base until
it can be mischievous, to lick tho dust
until it can sting, to creep. on its belly

ALL candidates for county and civil
district offices and their friends should
heartily approve early conventions for
the higher positions, because it gets the
candidates who monopolize the time
and attention of the people out of the
way, SO county and district candidates
can have a chance to present their
claims for office without being asked
who are you for for Congress, Judge,
Attorney General etc?

DEM0CRACY--THE CONGRESSION-
al RACE.

There has never been an administers
ton, in this county, which had gotten
into as much hot water, in so short a
space of time, as has the present ad-
ministration. First, the administration
offended two thirds of its party by the
appointments it made to leading Offices.
Second, it offended many thousands of
Democratic Union soldiers by its pen
sion policy. Third, it has offended a
majority of its party by the effort to
tear down q Republican Democratic
Government in Hawaii and set up, in
its stead, a Monarchy of the most loath-
some description. Fourth, it has Of
Tended the free trade wing of its party
by proposing a revenue bill which has
too much protection in it and Fifth,
it has offended the protection wing of
its party by advocating the Wilson
bill because it has too much free trade
in it. In a word, all wings and ele-
ments and factions of the Democratic
party is mad about something. And
the question is not whether the Repub-
licans will carry the next Congress
and the next Presidency, because in
telligent Democrats admit that but
the only question is as to the size of
the Republican majorities in the forth
coming elections. When Walter P.
Brownlow announced himself a can
didate for Congress the prospect APP
peared to be that the Democrats would
carry the next House, and ever on that
supposition it was important that our
district be represented by a worker
such as Brownlow is known to be.
But with the absolute certainty of the
Republicans having the next House it
is doubly important that Brownlow be
sent to Congress SO that he can have
special bills passed to renumerate u
people for losses sustained by the
Union armies which have not been
and can not be paid under existing
laws.
Yes! Democracy is doomed. 1t sees
the hand writing on the wall, as did
the wicked king Belshazzar, thou
hast been weighed in the balances and
found wanting" The Democratic flag
is tattered and torn in all parts of the
country, with thousands of old and
honest Democrats, in half the States
acting in open alliance with the Re-
publicans. Pray tell us what sort of a
party is that calling itself the National
Democracy ? Take from it those IN
Office and those who seek office, those
who are helped by office, and those
whose faith is regulated by the spoils
of office. and how few would be left.
1t is notorious that opposite views regu-
late the Democracy. North, South,
East and West. In the Middle and
Eastern States the party rallies under
the gold and protection standards. In
the South and West it fops together
under the flags of free trade and free
silver. In the Middle and Western
States Democracy is for internal i'm
provements. In the South opposed to
them.
Democracy is a mongrel. The bricks
of the floor of the house of Democracy
are speckled, mosaic, yellow, red and
black. The colors of its coat are as
varied as were those of the coat of
Joseph of old.
