j. A. CUNNINGHAM
Announces His Candidacy for Congress
in the Seventh District.

Felton, Citizens Ofthe Seventh Con.
greSSionaJ District of Tennessee:
| take this method of announcing
myself for Congress and presenting
a platform on which | stand.
FirSt-I am for the protection of
every American citizen in life, lib
city and property, with the least eX
pense possible; hence favor rigid
economy in the administration of
the Government.
SecORd-I am in favor of local self
government and opposed to centrali-
cation; hence | oppose force bills,
either Federal or State.
Ihird-I oppose trusts, combines
and class legislation of every de-
scriptiOn.
FOUrth-I am in favor of a tariff
for revenue, but ina5much as all rev.
enue tariffs are protective to the eX-
tent laid, favor schedule that will
be Just and equ liable to every sec
ton, as we'll as every class, especial
lv the farmers, upon whom so much
depends in the way of support to he
| Governments; hence | favor tariff
on wool and such other prOdu cts OF
the farm as will benefit the great
masses of our farmers.
Fifth-As to the financial question,
l favor that system of finance that
keeps constantly in circulation the
greatest amount of money all of the
same exchangeable value. Hence /
am in favor of gold, silver, green
backs, bank notes, silver certificates
and gold certificates.
SiEth-I am opposed to bribery
and corruption in elections. If Off
ces are to be bought and elections
controlled by the use of money, then
money rules instead of the people
Democracy is misnomer. Oil
garchy is the name-a mOneyed oil
garchy. Such a monster is now al
our doors, with its poisonous fang:
already in the flesh of our republi-
can institutions.
Will the people rule?
This Is the question of the hour
and must be met by the good people
of the Seventh Congressional Dis
trict. J. A. CUNNINGHAM.

the band will leave you. II your
Democracy Is not what it once was,
come here that day and get it warm
ed over. 1t is inspiring and enthus-
ing to mix with the unterrified De-
mocracy just on the eve of battle.
They are IAN honor to their country
and terror to their foes" Let the
young come and learn valor from the
old war horse of Democracy, Col. A.
NJ. Looney, and let the old come
once more and listen to the ring OF
his voice and the eloquence of bis
words.

FOR CONGRESS.
COL. n. N. cox,
OF Williamson County,

WHAT is known as the ELECTION
Commissioners" law, is a partisan
measure which the HERALD opposed
at the time and has never yet en-
dorsed. II never should have been
passed and ought to be repealed.
But while it is the law, we want it
enforced by white men; and not
only by white men, but by white
men who have their political affilia-
tions with white men. A Demo-
cratic Governor need not go outside
of his party to get the very best
men in the State to serve as Elec-
ton Commissioners; Republican
Governor would have to; that's the
difference. A Democratic Governor
would be elected by, and whatever
craftsmanship be might be guilty of,
would be exercised for and in be-
half of the people who by birth,
education, moral character and
financial interest always have and
always ought to make the laws OF
Tennessee and administer them. A
Republican Governor would be
elected by the negroes. That is, a
large majority of his constituents
would be negroes. He would owe his
election principally to them,and if he
had any gratitude i'm his nature he
would not forget his political obliga
tions to them. Whatever of par.
tisanship he might disclose, would
naturally be against the class we have
said should control Tennessee
That's the difference. So while we
are opposed to the law, and because
we are opposed to the law because VIZ
think it dangerous and unwise; be
cause it infringes upon the rights O
the people and gives too much pow
er into the hands of one man; fol
these very reasons we are opposed tt
turning that dangerous power owe
to party composed largely of low
vicious and ignorant partisan voters

THERE are those in Tennessee, and
some well-meaning people right
here in our midst, who think the
situation In North Carolina is being
exaggerated and that Tennessee is
in no such danger of "lamp-black"
Republican administration. They
are Just like the good people of
North Carolina were,two years ago.
They didn't think, in the first place,
that the Republicans could carry the
State. And their not thinking so,
caused the very thing itself to hap
pen. In the second place they did
not believe the Republicans would
dare recognize the colored brother.
But the Republicans did recognize
him just the same, and by large
majority. And the Republicans of
North Carolina are no worse than
the Republicans of Tennessee.
And the Republicans of Tennessee
are no less negro party, than are
the Republicans of North Carolina
What was possible in North Caro-
lima is possible in Tennessee. What
has taken place in North Carolina,
may take place in Tennessee. Why
take any chances, when the danger
may be averted by every Democrat
performing the very simple though
important duty of going to the polls
next Tuesday, and casting his bal.
lot.

lieves to be ENTHUSIASTICALLY in the

order of intelligence, keeus well abreast

self-made man, born and reared upon
a farm, and struggling through all the
obstacles which farmer boys without
early advantages usually encounter.
His sympathies | know to be with the
masses, and while | have not always
agreed with him on all public questions,
| have never for moment doubted his
absolute honesty and sincerely.
| know that he would be faithful to
any trust that might be imposed upon
