lacking. We would be glad to see
more than this. We believe there
should be some constitutional
amendments by the Legislature
making the terms of all State and
county officers a uniform period
of four years and the beginning
and expiration of each one fall
upon the same date. A general
primary should be held to noml-
nate all candidates from Governor
down, and every candidates name
should appear on the same ticket
idst as the Dortch ballots are now
made. This would simplify mat
tiers wonderfully and forestall
many a political evil now existing.
1t would give us a longer rest
from political strife and create
more confidence and greater actiy-
ity in business. 1t would resur-
rect and transform our fallen and
disorganized fortunes and forces
and bring us back into respect
and good repute.

We trust that the Democra

We trust that the Democrats of
Tennessee, and we believe that
they will, be satisfied with moth
ing less than fair and honest
election on the 18th of May.
Every voter should have access to
the polls without interference by
election "heelerso or "Indians," "
and the masses should create q
sentiment which would make it
dangerous for conniving and
scheming politicians TO undertake
their work. A report from Carter
already places the chairman of the
county committee in the attitude
of curtailing the Democratic vote,
but we give no credence to it. We
may be a little old fashioned, nav
erthe!ess we do not hold to the
liberal policy that "all is fair in
love and war" or politics. 1t is
our opinion that man who would
rob a voter of his ballot or dis.
place it in the count is just about
as honorable as till-tapping thief,
and public sentiment should make
it impossible for him to dare ply
his vocation. There are no legal
restrictions about this primary,
hence we make the suggestion that
honest Democrats be on guard and
forestall the appearance of fraud.

Taylor in carmack's Home County

Columbia, Tenn, April 3d.
Gov. Taylor spoke here to-day,
being met at the Hampshire cross
ing mile or so west of the town,
and escorted through the principal
streets to Riverside Park, where
the speaking began. The vehicle
in which Gov. Taylor rode was
drawn by two black and two white
horses. Others who rode in the
carriage were County Judge w.
O. Gordon, DR.. Bledsoe Brown
and Capt. j. H. Russell, the latter
introducing him in a most compli-
mentary and lengthy speech.
The demonstration was marked
by enthusiastic cheering, good
humor, sunshine, music, cloud and
rain, as it began to pour down at
the time Gov. Taylor was about
half through. The grandstand at
the park, which holds several hun
dred people, provided a shelter for
those there seated, but the hun
dreds of others who had comforta.
bly, seated themselves in chairs and
on benches and who were also
standing about the speakers stand
had to retreat up town. Gov.
Taylor concluded his speech after
the rain, however.
The procession was a mile or
more long and was composed of
automobiles, vehicles, cavalrymen
and footmen. The incoming trains
brought people from Williamson,
Marshall and Lawrence and the
pixies brought others from Hick-
man County, which, added to those
of Maury County, swelled the
crowd to 5000 or more. White

the ladies, but the men wore white
sashes and Taylor badges and the
tails of many horses were also tied
with the same. There were many

Only a week and a day to inter
vene before the primary election.
The American predicts a large
Democratic vote, as many as 1885,
600. These figures look a little
high, but it is likely that farmers
may have or may take time to ex-
press their choice between candi-
dates for the various offices. A
large vote would be a great deal
more satisfactory to everybody
and serve to rejuvenate Tennessee
Democracy, which needs a stimu
liant of some kind.

1t is safe to say that there will
be very few more changes in the
Senatorial race between now and
the 18th of May. That is, taking
it for granted that many changes
have taken place. We do not, how
ever, agree to that theory. 1t is a
sort of reflection upon the intelli-
gence of voters. The facilities for
becoming informed are too great
for any man to depend upon his
neighbor to tell him how to vote,
and much smaller per cent than
you read and hear about are sus-
ceptible of having their opinions
warped and twisted by presump-
tuous politicians. Men may, how
ever, become convinced of fact
or an error when the candidates
themselves state their position,
otherwise we believe there are
precious few changes.

The Fourth this year will be Gel
ebrated by Union City in her ac-
customed liberal and enterprising
way. The features this year are
now being arranged. Two of them
have already been fixed. One is
an address by Elk. Governor Robt.
L. Taylor. He will be here on
that occasion whether elected to
the United States Senate or de-
feated and make one of his rousing
and popular speeches. The other
feature is horse racing and some
surprises are IN store for the low
ers of that sport. There will be
new talent here and new records
made. OF course we will have
fireworks and band music galore,
but greater and more interesting
treat than all is now under way for
which negotiations are to be made.
As soon as perfected this feature
will be announced through the
papers. The speaking, the races,
the fireworks and band concerts
have already been settled upon,
but these comprise only the basis
of our celebration. Besides the
new, novel and wonderful spectacle
being considered there will be adj
ditional features in the way of
athletic sports, including baseball,
ETC., and probably street parades.
These things will be fully deter
mined in the course of a couple of
weeks and ample announcement
made. 1t is sufficient to say that
Union City's celebration will be
one of the most extensive and at
ever given here.
