THE Democrats will meet in
Chicago next Tuesday to make a
plain platform for the plain people,
according to their wishes and for
their interests, and to name the man
whose record and ability and
strength best suits that platform.
That our representatives, fresh from
the people, will do their duty fear
lessly, faithfully and we'll, we have
not the slightest shadow of doubt /;
and that they will enunciae princi-
Piles and nominate a candidate that
will win, we have an abiding faith
and confident hope. The Demo-
cratic party is and has always been
the party that responds to the needs
and wishes of the people; and a
party with that as its cardinal prin-
cIple can never die.

Mr.. JOHN WESLEY GAINES was
nominated by the free silver Demo-
Gratis at GAINESVILLE this week as
their candidate for Congress. He
will now go before the regular
Democratic primaries and be again
nominated, and then in November
be elected. Mr.. Gaines was one of
the "early," free silver champions !;
hence his nomination. He will sue
coed the Hon. Joe. Washington, the
goldite.

NORTH CAROLINA, "the old
North State" selected delegates last
Friday to the coming Chicago con-
vention, and made a platform that
rings just a little clearer-and to our
ears just little sweeter-than any
that has yet been written. It's
most important declaration is as
follows: 1--WE favor, Independently
of other nations, the free and UNI
limited coinage of silver and gold,
without discrimination against
either, at the present legal ratio of
Is to /, and we condemn the system
which, in time of peace, with mil
lions of silver bullion lying idle in
the Treasury, has forced the
Government, within two years, to
issue nearly $2l2,000,000 in bonds.
We condemn the action Of the
Secretary of the Treasury in follow
ing the Republican precedent of
paying the obligations of the Gov
eminent in gold, which were specifi-
cally made payable in coin. We
hereby instruct our delegates to the
National Convention, both as to
platform and candidates, to advo-
cate and vote as a unit, unflinching-
ly, at all hazards, for the restoration
Of silver, and otherwise in obedience
to the letter and spirit of the princi-
pies herein enunciated. We further
instruct our delegates, State and
district, to use all their efforts to
abrogate the two thirds rule, il
necessary, to secure the nomination
of a candidate in complete, in
hearty, and in known accord with
the principles herein enunciated by
u.s."

WE are informed that the HER
AIDS of last week have not reached
Sawdust Valley yet. On what eX-
tended tour the postal clerks have
seen fit to send them, we have no
knowledge. If it was in our power
to prevent their being thus diverted
from their proper course, we would
do so; but it is not; we are entirely
helpless. We have begged, kicked
and complained at this post-office,
time without number. We have
written our complaints, more than
once, to the head authorities CT this
division, at Cincinnati, where we
find promises galore and red tape
without end, but absolutely no relief
or effort at relief. If anybody can
suggest any untried remedy, we will
try that. In the meantime we hope
our subscribers will grin and bear it.

WE invite the special attention of
our readers, and the Magistrates of
Maury County in particular, to Mr..
Rainey'5 road proposition, in anoth-
er column. Mr.. Rainey proposes to
sell the roads on five years time, and
guarantee that they will pay for
themselves in that time. Without
attempting to review the argument
of the case, we will say that we be-
lieve the county ought to accept that
proposition. We not only think they
will get the roads cheap, but what is
more important, we believe it the
only way to maintain system of
good roads. The prejudice engen-
dered in late years against toll roads
is SO great that that system is bound
to go down, and unless the county
takes the matter in hand, our pixies
are bound to retrograde. We do not
believe in confiscating any mans
property; we do not believe the good
people of Maury want to get some
thing for nothing; hence we do be-
lieve in buying the roads and keep
ing them up by taxation.

SEVERAL weeksago, enthused by
some good work officer Latta had
been the leader in, the HERALD
suggested to the Board of Alder
men that his wages should be raised.
We wish to amend those remarks
by adding that if the present force
keep up the good, honest, watchful,
conscientious work they are now do
ing, they should all be retained in
the service and the salary budget
so enlarged as to give each and
every one a bigger bite. The idea
is this. An energetic, conscientious,
fearless officer is invaluable, and
his salary should be commensurate
with the work done and the risks
taken. While on the other hand,
an officer who has no regard or re-
spect for his oath or the duties of
his office, is high priced at any
salary. There is no true economy
therefore, in cheap officers. Co
lumbia now has a force that is the
pride of the city and a terror to evil
doors, and the HERALD is for them,
individually and collectively.

SAYS the Nashville American:
"Unscrupulous newspapers tell their
readers that the gold bugs will not
accept silver in payment of debt, be-
cause it is not legal tender. This is
absolutely false. A debt of ten mil
lion or twenty million or of hun
dred million dollars can be rendered
in silver and must be accepted,
according to law, as full payment
for the same" Very we'll! Now
will the American tell us something
else? With the treasury vaults
crowded with silver, and no gold to
speak of on hand, why did not and
why does not Mr.. Carlisle tender
and pay out the silver and husband
his gold, instead of paying out the
gold on demand, and issuing inter-
est bearing bonds to protect the gold
reserve? If what the American
says is true--and we do not deny it
then why did not Mr.. Cleveland
allow his Secretary Mr.. Carlisle, to
follow the law? Will the American
do us the kindness to enlighten US?
