self 70 become extensively allied with
either or any OF the factions in this
county. He is liked by all OF them;
no Is not objected to by any OF them,
except the whiskey faction; ana
there are hardly enough of them left
TO be taken into serious account. we
are reliably informed and are about
halfway ready to believe, that nearly
half the whiskey dealers themselves
have become persuaded of the error OF
their way. and are willing to quit
their dirty business If 1t can be wiped
out entirely. God grant that they may
be fully persuaded; for it is no less
to their interest than to the interest
of Others that they should quit the
nefarious traffic.
And upon the question uppermost IN
the minds and nearest the hearts OF
the people of this county, in this cam
paign. Mr.. Greenlaw has been leader.
He is the President of the Anti-Sa-
loon League of Maury county, and for the
last two months has given practically
all his time to arousing the temperance
sentiment and organizing the temper
ance forces for the battle of the bal
lots last Saturday. How thorough was
his work, the result of that battle
shows. So thorough was it, that the
enemy, seeing themselves over
whelmed and about to be routed. made
complete surrender without even
show of arms.
The candidates for the lowe House
are equally as acceptable as the can
didate for the Senate. This is the
fourth time the Democracy of this
county has honored Capt. A. A. Lips
comb with the nomination, and no man
ever was truer TO a trust than he has
been. His experience in the House
will be of great value to his constit-
uents in this county and TO the state
at large. Capt. Lipscomb is man OF
few words and retiring disposition, and
does not force himself before the pub
lie: but for the last two terms, since
he has become we'll acquainted, We
doubt IL there have been any more
popular. and few if any more infiu-
entail men in the House than he; and
it would not surprise us in the least
to see him in the Speakers chair at
the next general assembly; and II 1t
is fair. impartial. even-handed justice
they want, they could not do better.
W. T. Galloway is one of the best
known farmers of the county. He was
a school teacher in his earlier life. and
is a finely educated man; an unto
date. progressive man, who WI know
and understand the duties and Re
sponsibilities OF his office as quickly as
any new man. and. knowing his duty.
win do it fearlessly faithfully aid
honestly. The temperance question
would be entirely safe in his hands even
without any instructions, buthis speech
before the convention shows with what
zeal and earnestness he will do his
might to rid Columbia and Mt PleSs-
ant OF the open saloon.
On the whole there is but one safe,
consistent course for Democrats TO
persue. and that is TO vote TIC straight
ticket. to vote for the Democratic
marty against the Republican Iarty;
to vote for Democratic nominees 20 as
to preserve the integrity of the Demo
cratic marty; TO vote for democratic
nominees because we are all brethren
and because we are not willing TO
cohort with the enemy. or TO do any
thing that viii tend to weaken or
disintegrate the party. After ALL
would il not be a very bitter or sour
tasting dose to feel that you had help
ed to humiliate Tennessee by turn
ing it over into the Republican col
umn? After all. would you not feel
a trife uncomfortable for all time TO
come to have the stain upon your po-
litical record of having voted for H.
Clay Evans, whom even forty years
of citizenship in the South has not
won from his inherited radical Repuo-
licanism of the North?
Some Of us may get all We want
some Of the time. but none of US can
GET all we want all the time. The
best way to get what we want most OF
the time. is TO keep our records clean.
