The harmony committee has or
ganized and gone to work TO Sc
cure a groat victory for the party
in the coming election. All dem
ocrats should, and all true demo-
Gratis will, fall in line and help in
the fight. II is claimed that many
of those who went off after Hoop
er and the loayes and fishes will
not and never meant to return to
the party. We doubt this as to
most of them. True the fact that
the republican convention failed
to make nominations in some of
the most important offices looks
suspicious, but 1t may turn out
that they reckon without their
hosts. We believe that enough
democrats will stay with the party
to win. The past record of the
republican party in this state and
the antics of the present admins
tration are enough to drive all
democrats home. Come or back
boys. Tho lamp still holds out to
burn. Run to cover, a storm is
cnming and you will find need of
shelter.

1t seems that one Faulkner,
quondam candidate for governor
of Tennessee from the Lebanon
beat, has left the democratic or
ganization and joined the Hooper
aid society. If reported correctly
he is working in the interest of
the lawless element to bring about
a mass meeting in contravention
of the primary and conventions or
dered by the constituted authori-
ties of the democratic party.
What were his chances before he
took this erratlc course we do not
know. But 1t is known of all men
that they are nil now.

known that Mr.. Padgett and his

injustice and it is very much to be
regretted that a time was not fixed
that would have suited all parties

will only tend to widen the breach

of the water, but with sick faintness.
The tension suddenly taken off, I'M

quivered helplessly; the arrow of her
life almost fell into the stream.
And then a new and more appalling
terror swept over her. Some man had
fired that shot Actaeon had spied
