TO YOUR TENTS, Oh DEMOCRATS!

bea drone upon the face of the earth,
blot upon humanity, a caricatuIe
upon his sex. but he cannot be a full
grown man and command the respect
of his fellows, without at least trying
to do his duty. A sham pretens, at
duty rarely decelves anybody. 1t is
more often that a sham man decelves
himself than that he deceives others.
A man who calls himself Democrat
and votes the Republican ticket. bellies
his professions and decelves nobody
but.himself. if he deceives anybody.
A man who calls himself a temper
Ance man and votes for or with the
whiskey crowd. deceives only himself,
IL he deceives any body.
There is no higher virtue than that
of Patriotism. For the love of coun
try combines all in one the love of
Church and State and Home and Fami-
ly; for these are the bed rocks of a
countrys pride and hope and propser-
ity.
Every patriot should vote, and every
voter should vote according TO the die
tates of his own conscience for the
best interest of all the people.
In the National election to occur
next Tuesday, the Herald does not
lind much comfort from a Democratic
standpoint, though the clouds are rift
Ing somewhat and the outlook grows
brighter. The Democratic nominee
for President, under the glare of a
strong public searchllght has revealed
splendid character, and with every
speech he makes he grows more and
more in public favor. What the next
few days may bring forth no man
can foretell.
Tennessee we believe is safely Demo-
cratic. And yet. with Governor Fra
zier not IN the best of favor with the
temperance element. and Mr.. Little
ton in the best of favor with the Ii
QuoI element, there is that element
Of doubt which should arouse every
Democrat to his duty and take him to
che polls, For the election of Mr.
Littieton would be a veritable calami
ty to the State.
In the Senatorial race in this district
the Democrats have made no nomina-
ton. Mr.. Schubert, the alleged Dem
ocratic candidate. Is not fit man for
temperance democrats to vote for.
The Herald would advise temperance
democrats to show their disapproval
Of the outrageous machine methods
employed IN his behalf, by not voting
In that race. They cannot, consistently
and conscientiously. in our judgment,
being temperance men, vote for Mr..
Schubert, or. being Democrats, vote
for Mr.. Bumpass. As a denier resort,
therefore, they should refrain from
voting at all.
The Democratic nominees for Rep
resentatIves, Capt. A. A. Lipscomb
and Mr.. W. B. Long are worthy of
and entitled to the vote of every Dem
ocrat in Maury county. They are men
Of clean lives and spotless regulations.
and have been identified with the best
interests of this county all their lives.
They are capable, worthy. representa-
tive men. They are fair minded, in
telligent. just and honorable men. By
every standard of measurement they
are worthy the honor of represen ting
the great county of Maury-one of
the proudest constituencies in the State
lin the law making body of the State.
' Besides that, they are the fairly
chosen and regularly selected nomi
nees of their party. Under these cir
cnmstances. for any man who calls HIM
self Democrat to talk of scratching
one of these nominees. is more le-
Hection upon that mans democracy
than 1t IL upon the nominee he essays
TO criticise. Men who, for some lit
Ito personal spleen, will vote against
regular nominees and worthy men
