Newspapers in the Campaign.

In the present campaign, The
newspapers will be the greatest of
educators in teaching the voters of
the land the proper way to view the
political questions of the day. The
Republic, of st. Louis, Is without
doubt the most able instructor pub
lished on the Democratic side, as it
explains in almost every issue, by
editorial or learned article, why the
mass of the people should vote for
the Democratic Presidential candi-
date. In addition, it prints all the
news of the doings of both parties
and all speeches of statesmen. The

A Lion at Large.

At Memphis, Friday morning at 2
O'Clock Romeo, said to be the larg-
est male lion in captivity, now
quartered at East End Park and
forming part of Col. Daniel E.
Boone's animal show, broke from
his cage and dashed out of the park
down Poplar boulevard at terrific
pace. Fortunately, no one was astir
in the neighborhoOd at so early an
hour, and the beast, seeming blood
at Mauldin's slaugbter-house, a few
blocks away, dashed into the pens
and attacked the cattle there. The
hungry brute succeeded in killing a
steer and calf, when his keeper,
Jerry Cahill, came upon the scene,
and after a sharp conflict, the lion
was finally pitchforked into submis-
sion and was returned to his cage at
the park.
The citizens in the neighorhood of
the park that tonight held a mass
meeting and demanded that the
lions be removed at once.

STATE DEMOCRAT COMMITTEE.
An Address Issued by Chairman James
NJ. Coleman.

An Address Issued by Chairman James
NJ. Coleman.
The following address has been
issued:
To the Democracy of Tennessee:
Your State Executive Committee
wishes to extend to you its hearty
congratulations upon the magnificent
victory won on August 6. With a
vote polled equaling the presidential
vote of 1892, our candidates for the
Court of Chancery Appeals have
been elected by majority of over
10000, and our candidates for county
offices in Democratic counties been
uniformly elected, the exceptions
not equaling our gains in Republic
can counties. This victory has been
won by the faithful and untiring
work of our gallant leaders and COM
mitteemen in each county, and in
this public manner we desire to
return to each and every one Of them
the sincere thanks of this committee.
A still more important fight con-
fronts us, one that shall determine
whether the great masses shall rule
the country or whether it shall be
forever sold to the corporations,
trusts and moneyed power. If we
are true to ourselves we will continue
the excellent organization begun.
We willnot permit over-confldence
to lull us into forgetfulness, but each
of us who voted in August will not
only pledge ourselves to vote in No
vember, but will see to it that every
Democrat who then failed will vote
our ticket on November 3. Be-
lieving firmly in the principles
enunciated in our platform at Chi
cage, and in the ability, honesty and
integrity of our nominees, we cordi-
ally invite all good citizens to join
us in the great contest, regardless of
party affiliations.

Abigail Dodge, better known as
Gail Hamilton, the writer, who has
been i'll at her home for some time,
is much worse, and it is stated that
her condition is critical.
Miss Dodge sustained stroke of
paralysis while sitting at the break
fast table last Sunday morning.
She fell from her chair and was
picked up unconscious, and has re-
manned so ever since. The serious

POPULISTS IN CONVENTION.
Put out an ElectOr, but Await Congress

Put out AN ElectOr, but Await Congress
siOnal Developments.
w. H. Ring, of Franklin, Chair
man of the Populist Congressional
Committee for the Seventh Congress
sional District, called the commit
tee to order in the Circuit Court
room in this city last Saturday at
noon. All counties were represen-
ted. They proceeded to name Doc
McLanahan, of Williamson county,
as Bryan and Watson electOr for
this district. doc" is not a very
definite given name, but it is all the
secretary knew about him.
Then the question of nominating a
Congressman came on, and brought
with it pretty lively time. Some
wanted to postpone action until they
saw what the Democrats did; others
did not care what the Democrats
did, but wanted to go ahead and
name their man; among the latter
class was Col. H. A. Brown, who
advocated the going ahead policy.
This side finally predominated by
nominating the colonel for Con-
gress, which was formally done, but
he declined to serve for the present
stating that he did not wish it, but
that if no one else would make the
race he would serve.
1t was then agreed to postpone
this question until the last Saturday
in this month, at which time they
will take such action on the Con.
gressional race as Democratic de-
velopments will indicate. The com
mittee then resolved TO continue it
self in power another two years, and
re-organized by electing Ed Black
man Chairman, and t. G.. Wither-
spoon, Secretary, both of this county
The committee then adjourned t
meet the last Saturday in this
lmonth.
