Senetor e. W. Carmack was in Nash
vile last week en- rout from Memphis
to Washington City, where he goes to
aid in getting out the Democrats cam
paign book.
Mr.. Carmack said than when he de-
clined to accept the craftsmanship of
the committee appointed to get out the
campaign book that he promised to go
to Washington later and help finish the
work, still he was to have no official
connection with the work.
"For the last few days." said Mr..
Carmack, "the chairman of the COM
mittee has been telegraphing me to
GENE on to Washington, that the me-
terial had all been gathered, so l am
going there to edit and get the mater
ial in shape. My plan is to look over
the material as much as | can during
the next two or three days and hurry
back to Memphis in time to take part
in the argment of the Honan muder
case.
~ have received number of letters
from Eastern Democrats during the
past few days, and they all indicate 1
growing confidence in the success o
the Democratic ticket, especially il

The Democratic nominee for Vice
President is rich man, but his wealth
is without the stain of dishonesty. The
Washington Post says OF him:
The chief significance and moral of
his candidacy must be sought in the
story of the mans actual career, and
that is record which will inevitably
inspire the masses, while it banishes
the possibility of class prejudice. He
was no favored child of fortune. He
began life as farmers boy. He rose
from the humblest aud most obscure
environment. He never made a dollar
by usury or speculation. The swarm
of harpies, gamblers and extortioners
who thrive upon the honest toilof 9TH
ers known him not. What he has done
every American citizen with brains, and
industry, and courage can repeat. His
vast fortune has been accumulated by
perfectly simple and legitimate means.
His opportunities were created by his
own patience, devotion and address.
Henry G.. Davis is typical American.
He has grown rich and powerful ont
side of the atmosphere of the exchange
the market place, the pawnshop. He
has Cypress none, despcil none, thrive
on no misfortune of the hapless or folly
of the improvident. And he will ap
peal to the Ameaican youth as an ex
ample and an inspiration. The Deco
cratic convention builded wiser thur
it knew when it put this man upon the
party ticket.

ENFORCE THE LAW.

1t is condition, not a theory, that
is confronting johnson City just now
in regard to the liquor traffic. A year
or more ago, by an almost unanimous
vote, the people of johnson City de-
cided to cast out saloons. For long
time those who wanted whiskey ordered
it direct, and the express traffic in
creased amazingly. By degrees, how
ever, local dealers entered the business
until now there are perhaps fifty per-
sons selling whiskey and beer illegiti-
mately in the city. 1t is deplorable
state of affairs and has aroused the
just indignation of the law-abiding
element of the city, and a determined
stand is to be made to put an end to
"blind tigers" A public meeting was
held Sunday night at the Christian
Church and forcoful speeches were
made by several citizens. Monday
night a meeting was held at the M. E.
Church and the Citizens League was
duly organized. A sufficient sum was
subscribed to secure the enforcement
of the law. A committee of twelve was
appointed to wait upon the board and
ask that George r. Campbell be APP
pointed a special policeman. The board
heard the request and unanimously
complied. While Mr.. Campbell was
on the force a few weeks ago he did
more than has ever been done by any
other member of the force to bring the
offenders to justice. In one month the
cash fines paid on arrests made by him
amounted to $145OO; in the following
month only $45. 90 was collected from
arrests made under Fuller Campbell,
aud "blind tigers" have been running
riot. Several parties have been tried
for selling liquor, but the difficulty Of
making proof has been so great that
no case covld be made out. All parties
who buy seem inclined to swear to
protect the seller. 1t seems to us that
few indictments for perjury would
be in order. 1t does not follow that o
man who buys liquor illicitly should
be allowed to swear falsely.
From a moral standpoint we think
the "blind tiger" is less Objectionable
than the open saloon-beeause, as a
rule, only those whose appetites for
whiskey can not be controlled will
patronized the illicit dealer, and the
temptation for young boy to be led
astray is not SO great; but from any
other viewpoint the open saloon is
preferable. The fact that blind tigers"
exist goes abroad and creates the i'm
preston that our citizens are a lawless
people. 1t gives the town bad name
that is never overcome, because people
shun it. With the saloon there is not
only revenue but strangers come and
go and think nothing of it, because
saloons are found everywhere.
As we said before there is a condition
