OBITUARY..

Albert Hughes, Commonly called
"Dick') died at his home on Sinking
Creek, June 10th, 1896, at the age of
63 years months and IA days.
He had been member of the church
of Christ since 1874. His sickness was
protracted. but he bore it with marked
patience and Christian fortitude. He
desired to live for the sake of his family,
but expressed willingness to depart
and be at rest in heaven. 81 am al
most gone" said he when I called on
him some days before he died.
The funeral services were conducted
by the writer in the presence of o large
audience at the home. and his remains
were laid beside his first wife in the
family graveyard.
Brother Hughes was an honorable,
heightened gentleman who merited and
enjoyed the esteem of his fellow citi
zens. He leaves wife, three children
and many friends to mourn his loss.
"A welcome home at the open gate
From land of angels bright.
Do these for the ransomed spirits wait.
AS 1t gains the land of light,
We may not know Of the Joys untold.
The bliss on the other side:
But when he gets to the gate of gold
We believe 1t will open wide

The populists and silver republicans
are making a great deal of noise on be-
half of Senator Teller as the candidate
of the Chicago convention. Should
Teller he nominated he would be loyal
ly supported by the party, but there
are few democrats who enthuse over the
idea. The average democrat thinks
the prize is too big to be awarded to the
man who bolted the republican conven-
ton with tears in his eyes, upon the
single issue of silver, and who is still in
accord with that party upon every 9th
err issue. Some of the old timers do not
hesitate to say that they would rather
be defeated under o Simon pure, dyed
in-the-wool democrat, than to win un-
der Teller. In fact the prevalence OF
this sentiment is so general that but
few democrats are disposed to regard
seriously the probability of the nomi-
nation of Teller by the Chicago con.
vention.

McKINLEY'S INCUBUS.

And who is this man Hobart, nomi-
mated by the republican convention at
st. Louis for the vice-presidency? He
has no claim whatever to be considered
statesman. Mckinley has enough
troubles of his own and it was most I'M
kind in the convention to ask him to
pull Hobart through. According to a
New Jersey paper published right at
Hobart's door, so to speak, Hobart is
simply a corporation lawyer who has
grown rich by manipulating monopo-
lies, acting as receiver and protecting
his clients in the legislature He is al
the head of the East Jersey Water Com.
pany, q Wall street concern that has &
monopoly of the water supply in the
cities of eastern New jersey. He il
also one of the arbitrator" at $50,
900 salary, it is said-of the nationa
railroad pool, a law-defying combina
| ton.
The comet. (Johnson City, Tenn.) 1884-1916, 1896-06-25

THE trouble with Mckinley and Ho-
bart is that the frst-named is too we'll
known and the last not we'll enough
known to arouse anything even re-
sembling enthusiasm. No republican
ticket since Hayes and Wheeler has
fallen fatter than Mckinley and Ho-
bart. The fact that Hanna has had
himself made chairman of the republi-
can national committee and vested with
the authority to select the executive
committee, which has entire charge of
the campaign, was not calculated to
make any republican, except those in
the Hanna ring, hilarious with Joy.
This extraordinary authority, demand
ed and obtained by Hanna, has never
been welded by any other chairman of
that committee, and its exercise is not
calculated to make friends for McKin-
ley among those republicans who have
usually had hand in managing their
party's national campaign.

VERY NICE OF THE QUEEN, BUT.
The New York Commercial Adyer-
tiser of June 10, says:
"Queen Victoria has sent donation
of 800 5000 to the National Press
Fund, beneficial organization which
gives aid and succor TO editors, report
ers and others who have been reduced
to Strengthened circumstances bv illness
or loss OF employment and makes pro-
vision for the families of press men who
have been left without means of sup
port. The annual disbursements of the
fund are about $4,000 yearly The
periodical appeals for subscriptions has
been so literally responded to that the
fund has now nearly $500, 900 invested
in United States bonds.
At four per cent. that would amount
to SO, 600 year, and "the annual dis
bursements of the fund are about $25,
OO0," Our Americon CD financiershave
arranged money matters so that Ameri-
can working men are paying $4,000 a
year to the British National Press Fund.
That is only minute fraction of inter
est which goes annually to Europe from
this country; and still some people are
blind enough to think it a good thing ia
have "foreign capital" invested here.

SENATOR Hill was true prophet
when he said, just before the adjourn
ment Of congress, that there would be
no tariff legislation by either the fifty
fourth of the tifty-fifth. congress, al
though it was not SO apparent then as it
has been since the formal withdrawal
from the republican party of four Sena-
tors-Teller, Cannon, Dubois and
Pettigrew. During the session of con-
gress justclosed, the republicans lacked
ed one of having majority in the SEN
ate these Withdrawals make them lack
five and make itreasonably certain that
there will be no tariff legislation until
after March 4, 1896, if then.

Eighth district Notes.

In some parts Of our district heavy
rains have been so continuous as to
prevent the farmers from working their
crops. The rains seem to follow cartain
tracks, so that when one valley is re-
ceiving abundance of rain, another not
two miles distant is perfectly dry.
Several deaths have occurred since
our last writing. Squire d. W. f.
Peoples passed away on Sunday after
noon about three weeks ago to be soon
followed by Miss Ellen Hartzell and
Mrs. Anna Leach. Squire Peoples was
one Of our oldest and most respected
citizens, and his loss will be felt by
many friends.
aThe Rev, Ketron conducted the reg
ular quarterly services at Greenwood
on Sunday, June 18th.
At the last regular meeting of the
Antioch Baptist church, W. S. Harvey
peremptorily dismissed from that body
and his license as a minister recalled.
Owing to the death of Squire Peo-
pies, the field presents an unobstructed
horizon for another political wrangle.
Several clouds have all ready appeared,
but it is hoped that good management,
aided by predictions from several OF
our ostnoted weather prophets, will
eventually cause "the mists to roll
away" TRUE BLUE.

Nor q few democrats regard the ring
ing speech for democratic harmony
made by Ex-Governor Campbell, of
Ohio, at the big democratic day cele-
bration under the auspices of the inter
state democratic association of this city,
as the opening gun of the presidential

Murphy presided, over the meeting
which was large and enthusiastic. Gov.
Campbell was in tiptop condition, and
his old-fashioned, straight-from- the
shoulder democratic speech seemed to
Just fit the humor of the hearers. Many
who shook hands with Gov. Campbell
assured them that they hoped he would
be nominated for president by the Chi
cago convention. He said he didn't
expect to be, but that he was always
willing to serve the party anywhere.
Many republicans admit that the nomi-
nation of Coy. Campbell by the demo-
Gratis would pnt Ohio in the doubtful
column with the chances against Nc
KinleY.

WHILE we are congratulating our
selves upon the certainty of success in
the gubernatorial race, we must not
lose sight of the fact that there are 9th
or important offices to fill. Three
Judges of the court of chancery appeals
are to be elected in August, and it is in
cumbent upon democrats to work, and
work earnestly, for the election of our
nominees -Messrs. Barton, Neil and
Wilson. These are important positions,
and must be filed by democrats if We
would preserve the integrity of a clean
capable Judiciary.

United States Senator Ben r.. Till
man, of South Carolina, spoke in Nash
vile Tuesday, ostensibly in the interest
of silver.
We are just as loyal to silver us any
body, but we demur to the importa-
ton of Tillmanism into Tennessee
politics.
Tillman is vulgar, indecent and
lnsolent in his demagoguery and should
be discouraged, discountenanced and
discontinued.
1t is sad commentary on South
Carolina politics, when John c. Cal
houn and Wade Hampton are succeeded
III the senate by man whose chief
strength is his abuse of honest men in
barnyard vernacular. Huntsville Vi
dette.

ONE of the Teller boomers, Senator
Stewart, of Nevada, says if the demo
Gratis won't have Teller they can still
get the Endorsement of the populists
and silver parties by nominating ex-
Congressman Silby, of Pennsylvania,
Wonder if it occurs to any of these gen.
tlemen that the democrats might like
to make their own nomination for the
presidency
