l..
Minis, the Populist nominee for

long, and an attempt will be made
by the POpulist leaders to throw the
Populist vote to Tillman. Chair

that If Minis had been pulled off
two years ago there wouldn't have
been any contest, that Evans would
have received the Populist VOTE

A well known Louisville q Nash
vile Railroad conductor was APP
preached by an official at the depot
in Louisville a few days ago and in
formed him that he was talking too
much for free silver, and must keep
his mouth shut. Mr.. Conductor
viewed this attempt in its right light
and resented it. He informed the
official that he proposes to do his
full duty as conductor, and that the
railroad had no right to influence
his political convictions or keep him
from expressing these convictions.
The official became very wroth and
a personal difficulty came near en-
suing. The incident has gone all
along the Louisville d Nashville
line and is creating a sensation
among the employees of the road

1t is not too late to congratulate
and thank the Democrats of Maury
County for having declared and in
structed unequivOcally for manda-
tory railroad commission. The peo-
pie are bound to have fight to the
death with the Louisville q Nash
vile monopoly, and we might as
well have it over next winter as any
other time.-Nashville Sun.
The farmers will soon begin to pay
their taxes, and they can then have
the blessings of IA gold standard
eXemplified. Many poor fellows
will see their farm go on the back
tax list" and then go up and vote for
continuance of the blessed gold
Standardization Argus.
Hanna, he pays the freight you
know, on the live stock being now
loaded in cars and hauled to Canton,
o., to make show of popularity
and strength for the man under
mortgage. Even with this it re-
quires a great deal of drumming to
rouse up enough deadheads to go
there to make much of a show, hol-
low as it is.-Birmingham State
Herald.
Judging by the treatment Mr..
Bryan received at the hands of the
Yale College men the "rowdy
West" has receded clear around the
earth and is tarrying awhile at New
Hayen.-St. Louis Republic.
Ten thousand dollars year to
spend at college is not an unusual
allowance for the son of million
aire at Yale. No wonder that this
pampered and insolvent set of young
plutocrats think themselves licensed
to howl down the representative of
the toiling masses whose sons are
fortunate if they ever look upon the
inside of college. The hate and
contempt of the plutocratic fathers
find expression in the boots of their
sons.-Chattanooga News.
We do not deny the fact that times
have grown harder under the pres
ent Democratic administration, but
it should be remembered that Cleve-
lands policy on the financial ques-
ton is exactly what the Republicans
propose to carry out if they get in
power.-MurfreesbOro News.
The reign of the coal baron is
about to commence, and it is most
notable that with all the high prices
to consumers, the miner is half paid
and half-worked. This is one of the
results of tariff reform" and a re-
duction of the duty on coal from "a
to 40 cents.-Peoria (Ill.) Journal.
The Republicans and goldbugs are
making an effort to fuse with the
Populists in Texas, Alabama and
elsewhere. It's an outrage for Dem
ocrats to fuse with Populists, you
know. but is all right for the Repub-
licans and goldbugs. Ga

The Democratic party of Tennes-
see is to be congratulated that f.. b
Stahlman, the most corrupt, shame
less wretch that ever disgraced the
State, left the party and joined the
party of Doodle and spoils. The
Democrats of Tennessee have beer
willing for years to swap him off fol
yellow dog, but now they are rio
of him at even less cost.-Memphis
