cARYsANTHEMUM CULTURE.

Chrysanthemums should not be
pinched back after buds begin to
form. Keep the plants well tied up.
A little neglect at this time may cost
you the work of centre season. Few
plants have more brittle stalks, and

The Rabble Appeal

Why, yes, any candidate for govern
or has right TO address q letter to
the state executive committee, asking
that body for primary, but he must
entertain an overweening idea of his
own Importance if he thinks his letter
is going to fill the breast Of each com-
mitteeman with that hot speed that
will let him know no rest. until he has
met with his fellows and given official
determination to their request. A
letter from a candidate isn't such
mighty stuff that it needs must set
committeeman to scurrying across the
state that they may hold q meeting for
no other purpose than that of giving
some impatient Hotspurs an answer.
It is we'll enough, fora letter writer to
mark his missive, "speed, william; !;
speed; for thy life, for thy life;" but
the recipient, an he be a free some
body, has some little prerogative left
i'll him as to whether the contents shall
set him on the Jump, or leave him rest
ing at home. 1t may have been GRIM
inal lese majesty in our committeeman
not to have packed their grips and sped
in hot haste to meeting, because Mr..
Carmack was in a hurry, and then
again it may have been that these
committeeman had an idea that this
thing after all, is their business, and
that it behOoved them to set about it
only when, in their opinion, their duty
called them.
Because they decided upon the lat
ter course they were threatened with
an ''appeal to the people," A great
big, sonorous, whoop-em.up "appeal
to the people," Just as though som {
great popular right was in jeopardy,
when in fact the only thing at stake
was whether Mr.. Carmack's letter
should set committeeman on the Jump
or whether they should proceed will
their own duty in their own time.
1t is the sort of appeal emitted by {
Bombastes Furioso; noisy, false ant
hollow. 1t pretends a broken les
when there is only sore toe. 1t mag
nifies pin prick to a dangerous wounC
and calls in the doctor ostensibly t,
minister to dangerous illness whel
nothing ails the patient save a nose
bleeding, Around such an appea
there could be no hoeking save by tn
rabble; for the sensible and conserva
tive are not gudgeons to be caugh
with minnows, pictured as whales.
No, thank you, we can't take stocl
in this sort OF appeal, nor is the com
mittee heightened of it, though ev

boots is declared to be guilty of inso
lence to the people. Another stoc

"The old saw about throwing the
patient into fits to cure him is not all
nonsense, says voice in the Carmack
wilderness. Perhaps, this is what
Governor Patterson is doing to Ned
Carmack. We notice that the ex.sen-
ator is getting pitifully hot in the col
lar, before he is even hurt.
On his own say so, he writes q letter
to the democratic state executive COM
mittee: seeking to overawe that body
into surrendering to him one of its pre-
negatives, and because he is not told
to "step right in and take matters into
his own hands," he starts q below that
sounds suspiclously like the prelude
to q bolt.
The Carmackian propensity to strut
around bullying and abusing every
body who doesn't let him have his own
way appears to be ready to break out
again. Tennessee. however, has had
enough of fuss and feathers and buc-
caneering methods in politics. The
democrats Of this state are more inter.

observance Of the principles of the
