SUNSET.
After day of tempest,
A battle of wind and rain,
Just when the gloom was thickest.
The sun shone forth again:
Lit with blaze of glory
The track of the seething waves;
Fell like an angels blessing
On the desolate churchyard graves;
Gave heart of hope to the fisher
YEARLY faring home;
Frightened the brow of the good wife.
Watching till he should come:
And the words Of the Holy Scripture
Were borne to my soul again.
AS 1 thought of the wonderful gladness.
OF sunshine after rain,
And thought that ever the master,
AS once in Galilee.
Is ready to calm the tumult
OF storm on land or sea.
And yet when the gloom is thckest,
And the day is almost done.
He sends us cheer and courage
In the CLEAN Of The setting sun.

ELECTION FRAUDS.

The charge has been made that In
Fayette County and in some Of the
voting precints of Upton County tina,
gross frauds have been perpetrated in
the late election by those commissioned
to act as election officers, and who were
unwisely to ardent in their support of
the boilers candidate. This a most
serious and regrettable occurrence
which should have been avoided and
would have been avoided had wiser
counsels prevailed. If the charge is
true that votes cast for Col. Patterson
were counted for Carmack, and that in
other places the boxes were carried
away, those guilty of these crimes will
be surely and severely punished. Fair
warning had been given and the conse.
quences of the act pointed out, so that
the evil doors will have no one but
themselves to blame. The Sound Money

Delaware, Maryland. West Virginia

lican column and Joined it to stay. In
the last named State the Legislature is

successor of Bombastes Furioso Black

ago "Old Kaintuck" was deemed an
impregnable fortress of Democracy.
Could we have a free ballot and a fair
count in Tennessee, our State would
be in the Republican procession by a
large majority. The Democrats are
not yet out of the woods by u good long
distance of dense underground, and a
nude shock may be in store for them

BOB TAyIoR,s Loose TALK.

If Bob Taylor doesn't carry blisters
on his tongue, there is no truth in the
popular theory that lying produces
such effects, or else the Chattanooga
Times has misrepresented him. That
paper of yesterday morning reported
him as saying:
II am opposed to dishonest elections,
and am going to do all can to stop
these ever recurring election frauds IN
the Republican counties of East Ten
nessee. Why, sir, they pay no atten
ton to the poll tax law up there, and
fifteen year old boys are voted with
impunity. Had it not been for these
frauds in Carter and Sewer and other
counties my majority would have been
10000 instead of 10000. II this bust
ness doesn't stop I shall favor a law
that will take the election machinery
out of the hands of the sheriff and put
it In the hands of election commission
ers-and hen we will see if we can't
get fair elections. We've got to teach
these Republicans that they can'thold
back returns and manipulate and
doctor them to suit themselves. | am
going to have something to say on this
subject in my first message to the legis
lature."
Bob's friends, before the election,
probably upon information impaired
by his fluent tongue, asserted that
there were scores of free silver Repub
licans in Carter County who would
vote for him. These scores failed to
materialize on election day, and now
because his foolish predictions did not
come to pass, he says no attention was
paid to poll tax receipts and that fifteen
year old boys were permitted to vote.
Everybody understands that Bob is an
habitual joker; but an ex Governor
who expects to be Governor again
should not joke through the columns
of a newspaper on such a subject as
election returns.
He promises to have something to
say on this subject in his first message
to the Legislature. We trust he will.
If he can be serious enough to talk
seriously about a thing 30 serious. II

born. are 80 corrupt that fifteen year

ton officers to go to tn polls and vote,
he ought to state the fact and give
names and places. This is a grave
charge that he makes against his old
friends and %neighbors. 1t affects every
officer who aided in holding the cleo
ton of November 81 in Carter County,
all the judges and clerks. 1t amounts
to u charge of perjury against these
people, and they have a right to expect
him to be specific. If Bob was talking
loosely, through his hat, it was a very
improper thing for a man in his DO.

discussed the questions at issue with
an Intelligence and force of argument
that was effective with every auditor
