GROVE.

The fair name of Tennessee is badly
besmeared by the dirty fingers of Old
Pete and his penitentiary ring and coal
oil crew and then to cap the climax
the legislative body has retained q man
in the Office of Governor, who has no
more right to the seat than myself and
prevented Hon. H. Clay Evans, the
man who was honorably elected from
being seated. Is not this a blot npon
the reputation of every honest Demo
crat in the Statep What would the
brave leaders of our State, such men
as John Sewer, VIM. Blount and others
that have passed from the stage of &C.
ton, think of this Democratic Legisla-
ture, they could only say that its action
would disgrace the statute books of
hell. This Pete and his ring even
claim that fraud was practiced in old
Washington County in the November
election, they surely did not know that
we had a Democratic sheriff, who held
the election in this county. But we think
he is an honest, Christian gentleman
and ashamed of the Nashville tricksters
and we feel confident that he would not
condescend to practice fraud. VIM.
Tadlock has recovered from his sickness
and is now able to help his brother
Alexander keep up fires for Uncle Ma
lin. The school at Victoria taught by
j. @. Hartm IN, of this place, closed

Miss Shipley, o fnear johnson City, who

who has been tending CARRIERS Mill for
some time moved back to his farm Sat-
urday. January, 1895, brought winter
nigh, in fact the month has furnished
us a list of all kind of weather and our
people are blessed with plenty of water
and the millers are merry for they can
grind day and night. s. I. Martin has

TELFORD.

On the evening of the 22d of January
just as the pastor of the NJ. E. Church
was moving into the new parsonage
building, Ben Carey and wife, son and
daughter drove in with a donation
basket and other produce and left it in
the preachers home. But it was not
all over yet, later at night there was a
signal tap at the door and when it was
opened thirty two women, four men
and two boys filed in armed with
brooms, baskets aud bundles contain
ing many good things. After the cloud
drifted away there was left solids to
about the amount of $40. While the
pastor and his wife were a little sur
prised, they were not very much of.
Tended and the pastor says call again.

WE all know who was elected Gov
ernor by the people, but the Legislature
having assumed the right to revise the
action of the people, no one can tell
who will be elected by that body.
Turney of course has a good working
majority in each house, andi if they con.
tinue to allow their partisan feeling to
control them, he will be counted in.
We hope, however, for the honorof the
State, that patriotism and fair dealing
may caus the Legislature to seat Gov.
Evans, who was legally elected by the
people.

Hon. H. CLAY EVANS is the logical
candidate of the Republican party for
Governor in 1895, and all efforts to
side track him by a Vice Presidential
boom, to make o for other guberna-
torial aspirants should be discounten-
anced. The redemption of Tennessee
is worth a thousand times more to the
people of this State, than the Vice
Presidency, and the outrageous treat.
ment of Mr.. Evans, has made his cleo.
ton as Governor in 1896, an assured
fact, by the largest majority ever given
any man in the State. Papers and pol.
iticians ought to know that no other
candidate can fall heir to Mr.. Evans
prospects of election as Governor, and
it won't do to swap horses in this matter.

PRITOHARD.

Hon. j. G. Pritchard, of Moth Caro-
lima, the only Republican in the U. s.
Senate from the South, took his seat
as the successor of Mr.. Vance, Jan. "a.
He is the youngest man in that body,
being only thirty seven years old. His
colleague after March A, Hon. Marion
Butler, who succeeds Senator Ransom,
is only thirty one years old. Mr.. But
Ter as leader of the Populists, and Mr..
Pritchard representing the Republican
party, entered into a fusion last year
in North Carolina for the purpose Of re-
deeming that State from Bourbon
Democracy. After one of the grandest
campaigns ever conducted in that
State, the people rallying under the
leadership of these two young native
leaders, united their efforts at the bal
lot box in November, and forever
buried Bourbon Democracy by a ma
jority of over twenty thousand in the
State, electing a fusion Legislature that
recognized and confirmed the leader
ship of these gentlemen by sending
both to the U. S. Senate.
The success brought about by the
leadership of Senator Pritchard in the
State of North Carolina points to him
as the leader of a new movement to
make Republicanism respectable and
popular in the South, where war pre-
JUDGES and party spirit has 30 long
acted as a nightmare upon the young
men of that section.
AS a native Tennessean his leadership
will be hailed with delight in this State.
Generals who have won victory on the
field of battle are accorded promotion
while those who fail are relieved from
command. Senator Pritchard having
won the political battle in his own State
deserves to be recognized as the rightful
leader of a more general movement to
redeem the Southern States from Bour-
bon rule, and we repeat what we said
two weeks ago: If the solid South is to
be broken, Hon j. G. Pritchard is the
man to lead our forces. He has no po-
litical sins to answer for. He is on the
stage of action free from war preju-
dice for or against him. He is self
made, in the prime of life, of fine ap-
pearance and q good mixer. Being a
native of the South, the unjust cry of
carpet Dagger" will not be heard in
the land. Hence the Herald and Tri-
bune, on which he began life as an Of
flee boy nearly thirty years ago, takes
pleasure in most heartily endorsing
Hon. j. G. Pritchard, of North CARROLL
ma, for Vice President on the Republic
can ticket in 1896, and as such to be
the recognized leader of the movement
to redeem the South from the rule Of
demagogues and mossbacks, who have
so long maintained their power by cry
ing negro domination, force bill and
carpet Dagger" and by appeals to the
passions and prejudices Of their fol.
lowers.
In the person of Senator Pritchard
we will have O leader at whose feet
these unjust ISLANDERS will fall harm.
less, so that the young men Of the
South will rise above such con-
siderations and rally TO the support Of
the cause he represents as they did in
his own State. This done, Tennessee
will join hands with her mother in re-
joicing at the overthrow of Democracy
IN the South.

SENATOR CARLISLE, on Monday in

the year ending December 81, 1895,

there has been to justify the agitation

THE Presidents last message in favor
of an issue of three per cent. fifty year
gold bonds, seems to have caused most
of his party to forsake him. Senator
Sherman and the President seem to be
nearer in accord than the President
and Democracy. Politics make strange
bed fellows some times.

REvENGErUL ROBBERS


Ardmore, l. T.. Feb. n.-What is
thought TO be an attempt to rob the
northbound midnight c., c. & S. f.
passenger was made last night at a
lonely point about two miles south of
Overlook. The train usually stops at
this point for water. AS the train COM
menccd TO slow up for the water tank
the engineer discovered that all was
not right as he saw several suspicious
characters cross the track, and be-
lleving that an attempted robbery was
on foot put on full head of steam
and shot by the water station. No
sooner had the would-be road agents
discovered that their attempt had been
toiled than they proceeded to pour
leaden missiles into the sleeper as IT
passed their hiding place on either
side of the track.
Several Ardmorcites were aboard
From them It is learned that a dozen or
more shots We're fred shatterlnE the
windows OF the sleeper and perforating
Its sides In seive-like manner. Pas
sengers We're not slow to take in the
situation, and made haste to get under
the seats. The rapid speed OF the train
was kept up until Ardmore was reach
ed. the engineer fearing to make a
stop at Overlook. So far as known
there Is no clue TO the perpetrators OF
this bold attempt but the officers have
Instituted an Investigation, which, ii Ia
thought, Will lead to future deyel1p-
ments. There were several narrnw
escapes from flying bullets, but aside
from the fright no one sustained any
bodily harm.

his personal responsibility.
Most Of the time today was consumed
IN discussion OF a plan offered by
Mr.. Cochran TO meet the present emer-
gency and possible exigenciea of tho
future, which would confer large dis
cretionhry powers upon the executive
branch OF lie government. lie made
II as \ We. pal proposition, but affer the
meeting reduced the plan to writing.
and WI present II tomorrow, in the
following form:
Whenever It appears to the secretary
OF the treasury that an additional sup
ply OF gold or silver is necessary to
the treasury to enable 1t 20 maintain
the parity between the various coins
ana forms OF money OF the United
States. as required by law. the said
secretary is hereby authorized to pro-
cure such gold or silver as may be nee
essary for that purpose, by issuing
therefor obligations Of the United
States. conditioned for the return OF
a like quantity OF the same metal as
may have been thus obtained, and for
the transfer to the holder OF such OBJ
legations OF an additional amount OF
said metal. not to exceed per cent
Of the whole amount thus obtained.
Mr. Bynum withdrew his resolution
In reference to Chairman Wilson's plan
which covers, In part, the same ground,
and Mr.. Wilson had amended the form
OF his resolution by adding a clause
which stipulates that none of the pro-
ceeds OF tho bond issue shall be used
TO defrny current expenses OF the gov
eminent The change was designed 10
meet the objections uttered by Repub-
Leans at the former meeting, but their
views were not ELECTED during the ses-
sion. Another change was made In Mr..
Wilson'S resolution by leaving blank
the term Of the bond. and a question
was raised whether the contract with
the brokers did not stlpulate for a
thrty-year term. The exact terms OF
the contract were not known to any
member OF the committee. and Mr..
Hopkins Rep.. M made motion that
Secretary Carlisle be invited to appear
before the committee and explain the
contract. which was carried.
Earlier In the meeting Mr. Cochran
made speech In favor OF his propo-
sltion, claiming for It that II did not
discriminate against either metal.
Mr., Bryan CNeb) asserted that IT'S
intent was solely In the interest OF gold.
Among the Democratic members Of
the committee who were listed as
doubtful conclllatory feeling made
itself manifest, but It may not result
In an agreement. Republicans say that
their course cannot be decided upon
until the Democrats present some
definite measure to them.
