Eor Representative.

We are authorized this week to an
nounce J. W. Burney, Of this city. as a
candidate to represent Obion County in
the lower house Of the Tennessee Leg
islature. Mr. Burney has been a citi-
zen Of Union City for many years. He
was educated in law, but has been en-
gagged in teaching for a number Of
years, lately in the insurance business.
Mr. Burney is a Democrat, man OF
high integrity and honest conviction.
He favors all manner of reform and
the enforcement Of all laws, including
the temperance laws, and progress in
educational and industrial lines. Mr..
Burney solicits your vote as Demo-
crat, his candidacy being subject to the
action Of that party. We offer his
name with pleasure.

Democracy.

IN this age OF commercial supremacy
and industrial achievements it is far
cry back to The freedom OF civil liberty.
From all that we are able to gather in
current political affairs the Democratic
party is drifting away from democracy.
The Republican party has already ven
tured upon ground which is held by the
divinity Of the favored few. The Demo-
cratic party is being lured by the same
influences, and democracy is therefore
being deserted by its own, while recruits
are coming, slowly but surely, from the
ranks Of the Republican party. Real
democracy, while the world survives, will
never die. The people have ruled and
win rule through all ages. Kings have
ruled only through the graces Of the
people, Like the Ruler Of the Universe,
the people are patient and long suffer-
ing. They worship an honest man, but
despise traitor. Queen Victoria ruled
for sixty years and England was one OF
the greatest nations Of the earth The
Queen loved her people with the mother
heart and they entrusted to her keeping
their political fortunes England was
after all a democracy.
Democracy Is the court OF last re-
sort; it is tho final arbiter. Then why
should there be skepticism in the party
and distrust Of the people.
Great sages and divinities Of all ages
were democrats. Denosthenese extolled
the virtues 81 the people. Jesus, the
Savior, and st. Paul were democrats
Washington was an arstocrat, but JEFF
ferson and Lincoln were both democrats
and commoners. Democracy is uni
versal Divinity belongs to no man.
Aristocracy may 60 to the guillotine
with its powdered wig andsnuff box, but
its conscience sees the gates Of Paradise
open to the humble peasant, the despised
medicant.
Democracy rules the world. There is
no king supreme but God Almighty,
and when the tyrant, whether money
god -or devil, sets up d throne he is
stricken by the hand whose home he
despoils and whose freedom he usurps
The democracy Of the new world was
born 10 the American revolution, and
parties may come and go, but democracy
will GO on forever.

OUR INTERESTS SHOULD BE MUTUAL.
Mr.. Robinson, the POSTMASTER, here
took occasion to refer to the mail-order
business. He cited, as a particular in
stance, the fattering inducements Of
fered by the big city competitor. A
Union City merchant, while in st.
Louis, undertook to supply missing
suit size or one that had been sold from
his counters here at home. 1t was a
fine line Of serge suits that the Union
City merchant sold for SIS. Calling at
Werner's, our merchant found the
same line exactly, stock number, mill,
etc, and the size he wanted, but the
price was $780, That is the price that
the same suit was sold for at Werner's
in St. Louis, selling in Union City for
SIS, and when our friend asked what
the salesman would let him have the
suit for he replied $3.50. explaining
that he could not afford to sell as cheap
" as the merchant in Union City.
Another instance was Union City
man buying boys pants in st. Louis
for rs cents, which were sold here at
different stores for 80 cents. 1t is Of
ten case Of mistaken identity, but

the price is sometimes greater, loses

be mutual. Home enterprise should
be patronized exclusively, unless it is
not possible to buy what is needed at

credit from year to year. He does not

THE GRIDIRoN.


Rev. Stuart was billed for the grid
iron, and be was a captain Of the
theme. He stated that the gridiron
was an utensil on which to roast flesh,
fish and other food, but it had long
since been brought into reuuisition for
other purposes. Boys have gridirons
when they play baseball. Everyone
has a gridiron. He was there to roast
the man that roasts the town. to put
the knocker on the gridiron and hold
him over the fire until he wants to leave
town. He told the story OF the canal
boat mule kicking out Of the harness,
kicking the canal boat down the canal,
kicking all the way home, and when
he couldn't find anything else to kick
at he tried to upset the moon with his
heels. OF all the unpleasant sights in
town it is the mud and the junk piles /
and the old shacks-not in Union City,
but some other town. We want to
