THE COUNTY DEMOCRATS.

Democrats in the county have con-
tended for years that the success Of the
Republican party in the county was due
TO the power of the FLOATING vote"
This FLOATING vote" was made up of a
number of whites, and the solid colorcd
vote of the county. The Republicans.
1T has been claimed controlled this
floating vote by the use of certain
"sinews of war; which the Democrats
were not able to command. If this has
been the real situation, rs claimed by
the Democrats, there ought to be
radical changes in the political condi-
tons in this county at the next election.
The entire negro vote (pratically) has
been eliminated, and many of the
white "floaters," also. The use of
money or any Of its equivelants. has
also been SO hcdgcd i'm as TO make its
use almost, if not quite an impossible
ty, on both sides. SO, then, it will be
n question of main force-a test of real
straightforward, political and intellect
ual, and along these lines the two
parties are about evenly matched.
However, the Republicans are solidly
and well organized. They are able
TO muster every man on the roll. and
seldom does one of them fail to report
for duty when the call is made On
the other hand, the Democrats are not
solidly united. They have not been
able, for years, 10 put all their men.
and sometimes many of their best
men-in the field. They seem to have
lost, due, perhaps, TO a long series Of
defeats,) the fighting habit, and To have
become disheartened 1t is not far
from the truth to say now, that Demo
cratic defeat in the future will be due
solely to their lack Of organization and
zeal and pluck. OF course the merits
and dement's of the candidates put up
by both sides ought to, and no doubt
will, as it should, be a factor in deter
mining the results of this years cleo
tons, but after all, the results now is
narrowed down to question of organ
izaton and work. At one time. nor
many years ago, the county was solid
iy Democratic. VIII history repeat

Extra Session.
washington Correspondence.

1t is believed here, 10y the people who
ought TO know, that the recent visit 10
this capital by ]. Pierpont Morgan and
his call on the President means an ex-
ira session of the 5Sth. Congress. and
that it will be called some time early i'm
the month of September. 1t is believ-
ell that Mr.. Morgan said TO the Presi-
dent that he and the money kings OF
Wall street could not stave Off panic
longer than September unless there
was legislation that would relieve
them. In other words, they want the
Aldrich bill passed, 50 that the money
now in the Treasury can be placed i'm
the banks of Wall street and relieve
the pressure on them. Thus is this
administration not only run by the
Wall street gang, but it approves a
policy that takes the money out Of the
peoples pocket and places it i'm the
banks of the country, 50 that they can
loan it back to the people and make a
profit ont OF them.
The remedy IS IN the hands Of the

TAZEWELL AT ST.LOUIS

The precautionary exhibition at St.
Louis next year will be the most extern
slve and comprehensive exhibition ever
gotten together, and will efrord the diff
ferent states an unparalleled opportu-
nifty to advertise to the world whatever
advantages they may possess in the
way of natural products, etc. The
state has appropriated a sum of money
to be used for this purpose, and the
Judicious expenditure of this money is
matter of prime importance. In the
way OF something practical it has been
suggested, that each county in the state
should see to it that they are properly
represented, and to this end there
should be competent person in each
county appointed for the purpose of
making such selections and collections
OF the products of the county as will
give an adequate conception of the
county's resources, and to see to if that
these products are properly exhibited
at StLouis. In addition. il wouId no
well to have a number of suitably and
neatly gotten up pamphlets printed.
setting forth the advantages and re-
sources Of the county, to be handed out
to visitors, otherwise the throngs will
pass and repass, giving only a easel
glance, and retain no definite imnres-
sion OF what they see. Home seekers
investors of all sorts, sizes and nation
alities will be there, looking for invest
ment and homes, and neatly written
and printed pamphlets will be preserv-
ed and read after the exhibition &c
over. To have a few thousand of
these advertisements scattered over
the land would do immense good
Tazewell is one of the richest and very

PURE ELECTIONS.

1t is difficult to see how, under the
new law, any candidate or his friend
will be able TO use money in elections,
as heretofore, without mourning Il
heavy penalty. The result of elections
in certain districts, where money has
been lavishly used heretofore, will be
material changed, no doubt. "Thcy

excuse for indifference, or a lack OF
