THE HERALD favOrs an investiga-
ton of the recent election frauds in
Tennessee. We favor a fair and
thorough investigation. One that
will bring out all the frauds. Then
we will favor a law that will stop
these frauds and purify our cleo
tions. 1t is regular campaign trick
of the Republicans to cry fraud; the
Nashville Banner-with the deceit
full whine of the hypocrite and men
dicant-never firing of the refrain.
1t is time this mask was being torn
off. 1t is time the ballot box stuff
fling and DOWNRIGHT stealing in East
Tennessee was being exposed. And
if the investigation develops any
crookedness in Middle or West Ten
nessee, expose that too. Let the
Democratic party institute a nom
partisan, perfectly fair, exhaustive
investigation, and, after that is had,
pass an election law so strong and
comprehensive as to give to the peo-
pie in the future pure ballot and a
fair count. Pass law that will pen
itentiary and forever disqualify from
voting, both the buyers and sellers
of votes, and make it the duty of the
election officers or special election
commissioners to see that that law
is enforced. Why not? There is
too much hypocrisy on both sides.
Let's put up or shut up. If we mean
what we say, let's prove it by our
acts. Let the Democracy take the
initiative and pass a law so tight
that the slickest Republican scoun-
drel in East Tennessee cannot slip
through it; and if it holds him il
will hold anybody. Let's see where
the fraud is, and actually stop it.
This game of grab has gone all toe
far already. The only hope for this
Republic Is In preserving the ballot
and If it gets much worse it will be
past preserving. For it has already
come to pass, in this year of our
Lord 1895, that a Presidency was
bought. And we think now, since
bribery and corruption, fragrant,
outrageous, uncontradicted and un-
denied, has reached the highest of.
fee in the world, it is time an act
ual, sure enough, bona-fide, united
fight was being made against frauds
in elections.

NO DIVISION.

There should be no division in the
Democratic party Of this county.
Individuals in every party have
their views and ideas ON public and
political questions, and many times
these views differ widely. Prima-
ries and the mass meetings held by
the party are the means used to set
tie these differences. In this way
the will of the majority is determine
ed, and the minority yield, strike
hands and prepare to meet the op-
ponents of their party in general
conflict. This is the only way party
organization can be kept up.
Every man entering a party pri-
mary says by his action, that he is
willing to abide by the decision of
the majority. He expresses bis
willingness to try issues, and what
ever the outcome may be to stand
by the principles enunciated, and
give to the nominee his vote and
hearty support illedgeville Re-
corder.

BRYAN AND SEWALL.

The National Democratic Com
vsntion, in session in Chicago, last
week nominated Hon. William Jen.
nings Bryan, CT Nebraska, fol-
President, and Hon. Arthur Sewali,
of Maine, for Vice President.
Bryan was nominated On the fifth
ballot. Els speech in support Of
the Democratic platform set the
convention on fire with enthusiasm.
1t is reported to have beer mas
terpiece of eloquence, and his senti-
ments were so much in accord with
the sentiments of the silver delegates
that he was placed in nomination
by Hon. Hal Lewis, of Greensboro,
Ga, and the result was Bryan's
nomination.
He is one of the braniest men in
the United States and in oratory
stands without a peer. He is 36
years old, and has represented his
state twice in Congress. He is one
of the cleanest men in public life,
conscientious, upright, does no:
drink whisky or use tobacco, and
is considered a model man in every
particular. He first sprang in to
national fame when he delivered
his great tariff speech in Congress.
He has at all times been an ardent
and answering advocate of free
coinage of silver and has done more
to bring about a revolution in favor
Of the white metal than any public
man.
His nomination was the best that
could have been made, and be is the
idol OF the west and will be enthu-
siasticslly supported in that section
by Democrats, silver Republicans
and Populists. His election is free
lY predicted, Notwithstanding the
fact that the Eastern states, New
York, New Jersey and Connecti-
cut, will stick to the "golden calf"
Hon. Arthur Sewall, OF Bath,
Maine, has been a strong free silver
man for years, and on the National
Democratic Executive Committee.
He is wealthy shipbuilder and a
fine business man, Of solid parts, and
fine character.
The ticket is a good one and will
grow in popularity from day to day.
Now let every Democrat fall into
line and do his duty by his party
and people.
