SINCE the dawnment ofciv-
ilization, merit in all avoca-
tons of life has not been con-
sidered dishonerable. There
fore If it is admitted that be-
cause OF success the succeed
ers are to be held up to rid
icule and scorn as unworthy
Of respect and confidence,
truly the world instead OF
advancing is retrograding.
But the BULLETIN is unwil-
ing to admit that the civiliz-
ed have reached the low ebb
where success is to be con-
demned. However, it is
true since the silver ques-
ton has become the over
Swallowing issue, the 16 to l
or bust journals have been
unremitting in their endeav-
or to cast odium upon news
papers that have distributed
literature, which such jour@
nails have been pleased to
characterize as Wall street
circulars. The only charge
that the BULLETIN is aware
of ever being brought against
those who do business on
Wall street is that they have
succeeded in accommodating
something of this worlds
goods. But the attempt of
the free silver press to con-
denim the successful is
not sufficient evidence to JUS
tify the conclusion that none
are righteous save those
who have squandered their
wealth in riotous living and
such as have made no efforts
to attain success. Hence,
the ambitious who desire to
succeed should not be estop-
ped in their laudable under
taking for fear of the ratings
of the free silver press.

1896, when death claimed him as
It's victim. This last union was
blessed with nine children, four
girls and five boys, the youngest,
Robert, being now in his 18th year.
The mother and all the children
still live. They are greatly dis
tressed not being at all prepared
for this shock, it being the first of
this kind ever experienced by them.
He professed faith in Christ in
1858, and connected himself with
the Methodist Episcopal Church,
South, in which he lived consist
ent christian life, aud member of
Mount Carmel Church 80 years.
Brother Doyle was truly a good
man, an affectionate husband. His
affection for the wife of his bosom
seemed to increase as the years
went by. A devoted father, his
devotion was as strong for his mar
ried children as for those at home

Will Doyle could be relied on in
time of sickness or anything else
when his neighbors needed his as
sistance. Last. but by no means
least, he was true christian, as
was clearly demons trated in his last
sickness and death. He was i'm
pressed from the first day of his
sickness that he woulo die, and thus
expressed himself to his family and
friends. He suffered much but
without a murmur. lie said he
was trusting in his Heavenly Father,
who doeth all things well. His
last moments were calm and peace
full, and he went out as man goes
to sleep. He was followed by a
large circle of sorrowing relatives
and friends to Mount Carmel
Church, and after appropriate ser
vice, we laid him in his narrow
house to await the resurrection Of
the just. w. A. DUNCAN.

Senatorial Contest.

The senatorial contest in the
Kentucky Legislature recalls the
deadlock in the Tennessee Legisla-
ture in 1S4I, which resulted in the
state being unrepresented in the
United States Senate for two years
from l841 to 1843. The democrats
had majority in the Senate, and
the Wings were the majority in the
House, but on joint ballot the
Wings had the best of it.
There were two senators to be
elected, to succeed Hon. Felix
Grundy, deceased, and Hon. Alex
ander Anderson, whose time had ex-
pired. The house adopted resolu-
ton calling for joint convention to
elect senators December 2 and g..
The resolution came up in the
Senate December 2, and a motion
to concur failed by a vote of II
to II. Immediately motion to adj
journ Was made, and pending this
the twelve Wing members got up
and filed out into the House of Rep
resentatives. When the roll of the
Joint convention was called, hOwev-
er, thirteen senator's and forty one
representatives were reported as alb
sent, thus breaking a quorum. The
democratic members thus prevented
a quorum each day, and finally de-
feated the election. The journal
of the House shows that the con-
vention met on the I'd, Sd, 4th, 9th,
and 7th of December, 1841.
On the It'll the convention adj
journed until December %, but the
record of that day does not show
that it met, but instead, the house
refused to adjourn at 9 o'clock, the
hour fixed for the joint convention.
There are on the journal several
protests signed by the democratic
members, in which they protest
against the constitutionality of the
proceedings, and this was the reason
they gave for absenting themselves.
Quite number of protests are to
be found in the journal of the House
but the primitive manner of keeping
the record makes it difficult to Sc
cure a clear statement of this re-
markable deadlock.
The Senate journal contains only
one or two items regarding the con-
vention. One is a long protest
fled by Sam Turney, Speaker of
the Senate, in which he objected
to the action of the twelve sena-
tors who, Notwithstanding the vote
of the Senate, vent into the house
and participated in the joint con-

IS equally as detestable as for
d man to beat his creditors out

thank God that he Is not as
other men are. If popularity,
applause and influence can
only be won at the cost of abu-
sing the only democratic presi-

.confesses that it will ever be
destitute of the graces men

phis an organization has

the free silver cause, and one
Of the means agreed upon to
accomplish that end is the dis

those who favor the 16 to 1
idea have a right to resort to
such means there is no doubt,
and in the opinion of the

silver monometalism have
the equal right to use like le-
gitimate means in opposing
a measure, which they be-
lieve would prove disastrous
to the country.

the Exposition at Nashville has been

indefinitely, if the directors depend

the people. He will hardly blind
our magistrates, however, into Vot-
ing the money of the taxpayers of
this county to boom a SHOW at
Nashville. In the first place, we
have but little community of in
terest with Middle Tennessee, and
are only useful in sending up a
democratic majority to put Middle
Tennessee men in Office. Again, we
manufacture nothing to send to
Nashville to compete with the manu-
featuring counties. But, hold not
so fast. 1t is said there is factory
on our eastern border making stone
jugs, and rumor has it that there is
peculiar fluid produced IN that
same region for filling the jugs.
Now we might purchase two jugs,
fill them with moonshine, and put
them on one of our thoroughbred
horses, which may be seen here

The speech delivered by
Hon. A. @. Hawkins, before
a Confederate reunion, which
appears elsewhere in this is
sue, will no doubt be read
with interest by Confederate
soldiers. The article show
ing the inequality of num-
bers engaged on each side,
proves the wonderful proves
and courage exemplified by
the Confederate soldiers dur
ing that memorable war. The
old Confeds, while concuring
with Judge Hawkins in his
patriotic utterances, will also
agree with him that they
were not traitors, but fought
for a cause which they believ-
ed to be just.

William Henry Doyle was born
in Southampton Couney, Virginia,
May 10th, 1888. His parents
moved to the southern part of Har-
deman County, Tenn, when he was
about three years old, where they
lived until he was grown. He then
settled in the northern part of the
same county and was married to
Miss Harriet Wick, daughter of the
late Benz. Wick, in 1857, with
whom he lived only two short years
and she passed away, leaving no
children. He was again married
Oct. 8, 1861, to Miss Sarah j. Bra
zeal, of Haywood County, with
whom he lived until Feb. 25th.,

SENATOR HARRIS predicts
that the free silverites will
control the National Demo
cratic Convention. History
proves that Senator Harris
prophesies cannot be relied
upon. He predicted that
Cleveland would not be re-
nominated for President. AS
a prophet, Senator Harris is
failure; as an office-holder
he is a success.

Privileges and Elections
has recommended an
amendment to the constitu-
ton providing for the cleo
ton Of United States Sena-
tors by a direct vote of the
people. The disgraceful
scenes recently enacted at
Frankfort, KY, is the strong
est argument that can be
used of the necessity of such
an amendment. Besides
such an amendment would
