THERE be those who will remelnt
Der that the HERALD was among
the very first, if not the first, news
paper in Tennessee to condemn
Cleveland's goldbug tendencies, and
to raise the battle-cry for silver.
While the HERALD was making this
fight for the people; taking its chan
ces for victory or defeat; risking its
popularity and its profits on the is
sue and for the right, there were
other so-called Democratic papers
drones in the hive waiting and
watching developments. Now, great
guns! how they do shout! But it
is hardly worth while to mention
these truths. The people are more
observant than they seem, and the
public is on to the situation, and the
HERALD has nothingto complain of.
1t has the largest circulation by
more than 800 of any paper in this
Congressional district; its advertis-
ing space is crowded with live, pay
ing ads, and it is. recognized as the
Democratic organ of Maury County

WE invite the special attention Of
our readers to a communication in
another column in regard to the
character of men Maury County
should send to the Legislature, and
the duty of the Democratic party in
the premises. The article is well
considered one, and we hope it will
be read and its suggestions acted
upon. 1t is very true, as the writer
says, that there is a large element in
this county-and growing one
who will no longer support with
their ballots men whose moral char
acter will not bear close inspection.
The only danger Democracy is ever
in in Tennessee, is from the stay-at-
home vote; and the best way, the
surest way, the only way to bring
out this vote is to nominate a clean
ticket of moral, sober, intelligent,
business Democrats.

"THE boy orator of the Platte" not
only captured the convention, but he
and his platform are capturing the
country. There was never anything
to equal the enthusiasm for his nom
ination. 1t will take new band
wagons and more of them to hold
the crowds who are clambering for
admission. Populist county conven-
tons, silver conventions, silver
Republican conventions, etc, are
meeting and endorsing him so fast
that weekly paper cannot possibly
keep up with them. The threatened
bolt by the New England goldites
will play so small part in the cam
paign, that it is hardly spoken of as
an important factor. True, the UNI
expected sometimes happens; but il
the signs of the times don't lie most
outrageously, Billy Bryan will be
the next President of these United
States.

WHAT a difference between Bryan
and Mckinley. One straddled the
all-important question before his
nomination, and since then ap-
proaches it timidly, while the other
made an open fight for his princi-
pies without thought for himself.
One takes the people into his con-
fidence and proposes to be their
public servant; the other confides in
his managers, and seeks office. The
one a patriot and public benefactor;
the other a political office-seeker.
Choose We between the two.

RAINS, The DRUGGIST

Now honestly and candidly it is
hard for National bankers, railroad
attorneys, goldites, coupon clippers,
anti-income takers, to swallow the
National Democratic platform. But
when you come to think of it, they
are not by jug full-"the greatest
number and Democracy's princi-
pie is, always, to legislate for "the
greatest good to the greatest num-
ber." So our friends who draw in
terest and hire others to do their
sweating for them, must either get
in the band wagon, or get out of the
way, or getrun over; they may take
their choice. We, the people, are
going to run this election, dead
sure.

THE coal barons up North have
again advanced the price of coal /;
this time 25 cents per ton, making
an advance of 81 per ton since last
August. The last advance will in
crease the gains of the barons more
than 100000. This means much
additional suffering among the poor,
who, of course, are compelled to
pay the price.

THERE is but one way to have good
government, and that is to have
good lawmakers. Political trick
sters and buns care nothing for the
people; they are after pie, and eter-
nally reaching for more. If you
send such men to the legislature,
you are to blame for the laws they
make.

were some of his demonstrations
that those who witnessed them
were puzzled beyond measure.

well known citizens of Rock ISL
and selected the various subjects
from among the audience for Mr..
Brown to work with. The gentle
men on the committee included DR..
G. +. Babcock, William Jackson and

as much mystified as the audience.
In one instance Mr.. jackson thought
of the number OF his watch
and while holding one end of a cop.
per wire some distance back OF the
audience and Mir. Brown holding the
other end the medium succeeded in
interpreting the thoughts Of Mr..
Jackson and wrote The mum Ger Il, 7I2,
