THE QUESTION ANSWERED.

The Lawrence Democrat in its las

Herald relative to the attitude O
The Nashville American and Nashvill,
Banner in emitting all mention of Sen
ator Carmack's appearance and ad
dress at the Bryan reception at Chat
tanooga. The Herald article closed
with the following questions:
Under whose direction; and why
do they give Mr.. Carmack this "cut
direct?" BY whose orders was it
done, and by what agreement that
these orders should take effect In
both Offices at the self-same time? Do
they think to hide Mr.. Carmack be-
meath their little bushels?"
To this the Democrat replies:
Aye prithee, sir, whose orders
could 1t be, but their masters? Did
not the Senator arraign with lurid
force, the corporate master Of these
friends of his, only little time ago?

THE UNkINDEsr CUT OF ALL

THE URkINDEsT CUT OF ALL
1t was the most unkindest cut o.
all, that which Gov. Patterson received
from his foremost and most faithful
champion, Representative Stainback
The governor had vetoed the Bank
Examiners bill. Mr.. Stainback rose
in his place and prefacing his remark
with the statement that he had been
the friend of the governor but was no
bootlicker," declared that the bill was
the same as that heretofore recon-
mended by the governor, except that
the appointment was to be made by
the comptroller instead. of the COVER
nor; and that in his opinion the gov
ernor had vetoed the bill simply be-
cause the appointing power was not
given into his hands. This is view of
the Governor at close range. Mr.. Stain
back has been his strongest champion
the session, and his init
mate personal friend. He knows him.
We think it quite likely that he tells
the truth-and what an indictment 1t
Is! This reform governor, who got

to any large amount, he does not

of the State-this is because he has

ket for the farmer" by buying his
grain and converting 1t into poisoned
slops. Therefore he is to be despised.
How poor creature Is a minister of
the gospel of Christ when compared
with the maker and seller of rot gut
whiskey! How trivial seems his work
when compared with that of the highly
useful citizens who get rich and build
houses" by dealing out poison to the
bodies and damnation to the souls of
men!
Such are the sentiments of this
organ of a reform administration"
And the American simply speaks the
sentiments of the graceless and ribald |
gang that have gathered about the
governor of Tennessee to give tone
and color to his administration.

wANTEo-A TRUTH TELLER.

A new daily paper is to be started
in Nashville; but judging from sucf
information as has come to us we
fear that 1t will not be of the kind
to I'LL long felt want" We are told
that 1t is to be genuine democratic

be behind it are known chiefly as
thick and thin partisans OF the pres
ent State administration, with its
known subserviency to the railroads,
the whiskey ring, the race track and
the bucket.shop gamblers.
We hope that this is not true. Nash
vile sorely needs newspaper that
will tell the truth We grieve to say
that 1t has no such paper now. One
honest, fearless, truth-telling paper in
Nashville would have been worth
much to the people during the session
Of the Legislature. Gov. Patterson's
open alliance with the saloon and the
railroad, his brazen violation of the
pledges by which he won his homina-
ion and his election, the disgraceful
of patronage for votes to

A PLEA EoR The SALOON.

The Americans effort to show that
the whiskey seller is a useful citizen
and the saloon business one of great
value to the state is about as silly as
its ribald attack on the clergy was
disgraceful The American tells
us that the saloon makes home
products of the farmer" Indeed!
What will become Of the poor farmer
when all the saloons have been blotted
from the face of the earth? How will
he be able to live when there are no
dIstilleries to buy his grain and make
II into the water of death instead Of
the stan Of life?
But before we despair, let us inquire
what actually has happened to the
farmer by reason OF the abolition OF
the saloon? The saloon has been
driven out of nearly every county in
the state. The same thing has hap
pened in many other states OF the
union. Has the American noted any
great decline In the value OF farm
lands or farm products on that &C.
count? The truth is, the American
has gone over to the whiskey cause
Just at the time when the cold logic
Of facts has knocked every argument
from under It. The saloon destroys a

makes. The handful OF grain thrown "
