his acre of corn. However, he be-

finish gathering until last Saturday

LITTLE CONSOLATION.

II the state liquor organ published
at Nashville. organized and conduct
ed for the purpose Of making the
fight for liquor democracy and to
abuse good people who will not bow
in subyerviency to the liquor ma
chine and the back tax plunderbund,
can get any consolation out of the
election returns In Middle Tonnes
see 1t can extract sunshine from GU
cumbers. Two years ago, the liquor
party had no organ in Nashville and
Bob Taylor carried nearly every
county in this section. This year,
with a liquor organ busy in Nash
vile for eighteen months heaping
the foulest abuse upon the good peo-
pie Of the state, making threats,
bullying and deceiying, the so-called
regular democrats lost many coun-
ties in Middle Tennessee that have
never before gone Republican. Mem
bers of the legislature were elected
upon the good government ticket in
counties thought to be hopelessly
tied to the liquor machine. Even
Nashville with fair count would
have deserted the machine.
The moral of this is plain. The
people of Tennessee cannot be bull
lied, bulldozed, bluffed and driven to
voting for candidates who represent
nothing but the remnants OF a dying
machine. The people of Tennessee
think. They cannot be influenced
by appeals to passions and prcju-
dice. They live in an atmosphere of
truth, above the fog. They have to
have more substantial arguments
than talk about carpetbaggers and
the grand old party. They are not
a lawless people They believe in
the majesty Of the law.
1t is to be hoped that the Nash
vile liquor organ will learn whole
some lesson from the experience OF
the recent election 1t might also
be mentioned in this connection that |
the election should teach the organ
to keep it's unholy hands off the |
democracy of the fifth and seventh |
districts. The demo-
Gratis of these districts believe that |
they can settle their own differences |
and select their own. candidates |
without any outside interference.
