you get the lowest price at harvest
time. Isit Democracy to bleed the
South to the tune of S25, 200, 900
a year through the channels OF
Wall street and the grain pits
to swell the fortunes of the Sys-
tenn. True the trusts and the bro
kers are separate institutions, but
they all belong to the System. And
this is the System which boasts OF
the principle of local government.
The System cares nothing for IN
diyidual rights. In its mad race
for wealth and power the great
Democratic doctrines will crumble
and with them also the institutions
of Republican government. They
cannot live together.
MEN ARE MARKED.
1t is not said that Governor Pat
terson opposed these principles,
but Mr.. Carmack did not hesitate
to indorse them and for this rea-
son he was q target for the Sys-
tenn. Under the fire men whose
Democracy has been unquestloned
are falling one by one. Under
various guises the work is carried
on, and the paper which does not
warn the people is no longer a
public benefactor, but is recreant
to it's duty. Perhaps Governor
Patterson subscribes to every prin-
ciple mentioned except that OF
State wide Prohibition. Perhaps
he is entitled to full faith and credit
as a Democrat opposed to the Sys-
TEN, but he has never been as ex-
plicit in the matter as Senator
Carmack.
OUR DUTY.
The Commercial will support
the Democratic nominee for Gov
ernor and President, the entire
ticket, and every other good Dem
ocrat will do the same thing, but
in the race for nominations here
after for any branch of the Legis-
lature or Congress the candidate
who best represents the interests
of the people must have our in
dorsement. Measures are greater
than men, and there is no sort of
sophistry which will justify the
voter in preferring persons to
principles.

CARMACK.

The world goes round ana round
And some go up and some go down"
But for the fact that Carmack
failed to advise his friends in the
Legislature three years ago that 9
snap caucus was not in harmony
with the wishes Of the masses OF
Tennessee Democrats he and Sen
ator Taylor might have been in
the Senate together to-day an d
Patterson still in Congress.
That was Carmack's undoine.
Overconfdent he felt that he
was invincible against any man in
the State, but Taylor succeeded
him.
The next step was fatal. Mis-
guided by a few untried friends
he allowed himself to be made
the champion of Statewide Pro
hiDition. Whether he was sincere
or not is not debatable. That is a
matter which rests altogether with
his own conscience. But it is
highly probable that it was not
among his original intentions to
make this an issue of the cam
paign. Hence the vote for State
wide Prohibition was not true
test, many of those who believe
in the plan having voted for Pat
terson.
Carmack's nature is not impul-
sive, but his irony and satire are
largely adulterated with mercury.
In this respect he does not differ
much from his late opponent. He
is brilliant. His colleagues and

AS GOVERNOR.

AS stated in the beginning Ten
nessee with either Patterson or
Carmack would not be without a
good Governor, and to raise row
over the nomination we considered
very injudicious. The Democratic
party is greater than either or
both of these gentlemen and its
future Of far more Importance to
the voter.
But there was in this campaign
the spectacle of leading daily pa
pers. whose conservatism and dis
erection have always kept them
from interfering between Demo-
Gratis seeking a nomination for
Governor of Tennessee, actually
engaging in fight, which for
recklessness and abandon has never
had a parallel in the State. Even
the rankest Republican has never
been SO abused by a Tennessee
paper. Huckstering politicians
have been outdone in the coarse
ness of attack on the names of
good men-and what for. In the
passions of the campaign news
paper writer's seemed to forget
that they ever had home or lived
in a country which cultivated the
instincts Of gentleman. Was all
this because Carmack came into
the arena as a temperance gladi-
ator, or was it because he had neg
lected or forgotten his obliga-
tons as a Democrat. Was it Car
mack's sin that he failed to defend
tIA principles of Democracy in
Congress. Can they sustain this
charge against man who fol-
lowed such men a Isham G. Harris
