unequiyocal directness the campaign
speakers charged upon the republican
party the responsibility of legislation
on the financial question detrimental
to the interest of the people. Accord

was a crime against the American
people to legislate against silver, and

we made inquiries of one of our So
ciety young ladies concerning a news

Yes, it's true, but ple-e-ease don't
print it in the paper. If you leave it
out I'll give you a nickePs worth of
peanuts
"We are not passionately fond of
peanuts, but gallantry is our long suit
That please would have separated us
from our overdraft at the bank with

to print the story. 1t wasn't anything
very startling, anyway.
This morning a Senegambian gen.

of pleasant smile, waited into the ed

his arm about the size of a weeks

our venality. We begin to appreciate

ELECT GOOD MEN.

The matter of the greatest moment
TO our people this year is the election
Of a legislature. This overshadows
everything else. OF course we are
interested in the election of county
officers, representatives, Governor and
United States Senator, but it is to the
legislature that we must look for those
laws, which protect us in life and
property and the pursuit of happiness.
1t is to the General Assembly-the
legislative branch of our State that
we must look for relief, IL taxes are
too high, If abuses or evils exist, or
il there is anything wrong or objec-
tionable in town, county or state.
The next legislature will be confronted
with many problems, in the solution
of which the people are interested,
and l wish to make one suggestion
and emphasize it, and that is, that the
people shall know In advance what a
candidate stands for and where he
stands upon every public question be-
fore they commission him to go to
Nashville next winter.
The time was when candidates for
the Legislature did not dare after cleo
tion to enact laws of great moment
and far-reack'ng effect, which they had
not discussed in a camDaiqn The
best men we have should represent
us and then the Supreme Court will
not have to declare invalid laws
passed for the general good and best
interest of the State.
The time has been when it was re-
garded as high honor to represent a
county in the legislature of Tennessee.
But it is no longer so, and for the
answer of why it is not so deponent
saith not. ONLY A VOTER.
