TEN PAGES TBI rAll TWIDDLE. Fraud ia the defeated candidates' panacea, their balm, their cordial, their elixir. This ia the poultice with which they plaster their sore and the people of Memphis are not surprised that a dozen defeated candidates should be dealing so extensively in the f rand sal re. But the slaughtered innocent should not fling their slan derajaround with so muchreckletsness. They leftist that about 3000 votes ca t for them were not counted when the figures show that an unpreoedontedly large vote was cast, largsr than at any previous election. In the county elec tions two yean ago only 7800 votes wer cist in Memphis. In the election of Thursday last the city voted 12,032, gain of 4832 votes, yet we are' told that 3000 vo'es were cast which were not counted. If the defeated candidates seriously believe there were frauds why don't they con test the election? The ohargsof fraud is a stale device. The people care notbicg for the slander, but the . Judges, the Clerks, the Coroner and LIS deputies feel out rsgod and indig nant at these vile calumnies. The election was held by honest men the b?st men of both parties, men selected, indorred and recommended by the opposition and now the public is told that the Republican Judges joined the Democrats in the work of fraud. Honest men supervised ths election on Thursday, men incapable of com mlttlnf or permitting fraud, and no wonder they are growing resentful under the frequent repetition of the charge that they bad committed per jury by making fraudulent returns. The COOO Witnesses will be given an opportunity to prove before the Qi and Jury that negroes were driven from the polls. TUB Nf ATB COIVVEKUON. The Democratic Btate Convention Convenes at Nashville on Weduesday and never did the Democracy ol Ttnnseree moot under more favorable auspices. The glorious vic!ory achieved on Thursday last will be en inspiration to the convention, lint while congrntu'uting themtolvcj on the magnificent vio'ory already won, the delegates should act cautiously in preparing for the doeUivo battle which Is to l)J fought during Gar field's niolnncho'y days of November. , The pjoplo ore more for the man than the pin foim, mid the convent! in should nominate a nun who is him self a platform that every Denuurut can indone. Tho result of the la t two Gubernatorial elec tions showed that the Democracy wa not harmonious on the imnes made, and the convention on Wednesday, while agreeing on leading qtuations, should remit to the people the discus sion and adjustment ot a' I minor is- ence. The Nalionnl Democratic plat ' frrui embodies political isuos on which the Democracy of Tenncsee can safely plent itielf. Any discussion of the Blair bill or the tariff question , tot in harmony with the national platform will produce divisions that will endanger that victory tbat Is pie Beged by the triumph ou Thursday if we will eliminate all irritating ques tions. The meet astute politicians In the United States are tbe Democrats of Georgia. Last week they held a State Convention and adjourned with out adopting any platform at all, and '' the result will be a sweeping victory. The record of John t B. Gordon furnishes a platform , wbich tvery Democrat can ia (. done. Fundamental principles cannot be too often repeated, but Immaterial issues thould be eliminated as much i possible from a platform. There suU ( the Gubernatorial election in ovembi-r depends upon tbe nominee. If tbe contest should be made aeon temptible farce, by pitting two broth ers ftminBt each other asthe candidates thousands of Democrats would refuse t j vote and thus rebuke tho unnatural and disgusting farce. The Afi-iai. has favoied the nomination of Col. It. F Loonsy became its editors bave known him ft r thirty years, and know him to be a man of clean record. He has borne bimself throughout the canvass now nearing its close with the dignity ; and propriety that have endeared him to his old friends and won the ad , miration of the new friends he has made in every section of . ' the S:ate. lie made no low appeals, ',' attempted no improper methods, but Las pursued a dignified course, dis cussing public measure in a sensible, statesmanlike manner. ' Born and reared in Tennessee, Col Looney ' Jove " bis" native State with its historic past. Be sympathised with the" Sooth in all ber mis fortunes, hallowed by countless sacri fices of blood and treasure. He ex hibited the strongett evidence of his love of his native land by imperiling his life in defense of his section and his people. lathe dark days of re construction, when Radicalism was striking at the vitals of tbe South, he was in the thickset of the fight. Since ths enfranchisement of tbe people of Tmnessee he bss been a conspicuons leader in the Democratic pa'ty. He was a competent leader in tbosedark days of oppreesion, when greater ability ... . it 1 was needed to renaoiiiutie ins peopio and to free them from the rule that ruined than is required to administer the office of Chief Execotive now. For sixteen years w ith a matchless r.eal that never wearied he labored day and night for his party. And now when for the first lime his friends ssk from ths party and a people for whom be has done so much, are they to bs answered that Tennessee remembers not in prosperity he upoa whom she lesned in adversity the man who loved her and kept her commands? Col. R. F. Looney is ths strongest and most deserving of all the Uubernato rlal asplr.n'a. If the convention will nominate him on Wtdnesday, the victory of Thursday last will be cm phatized in Novem er by a still larger Democratic majority. THE LOYAL MOUTH. The South is still Blundered and villlilod. Every day she is taunted with treason and disloyalty. Her people are still stigmatized as rebels and traitors. Bu, at range to sy, t he people of tbe South are the first to hjld a public meet'rg and to offir their services tt the goverrrfrerit in the event of a war mkh Mexic.o.'fcrow ing out of the Cutting imbroglio. In view of th's fu t, tlnre who s ill chsrge the South with tlielnya'ly, will be bianded by the American peiple as unprinciplei saodereis. In the war with Mexico forty yean ago Mexico was conquered by Southern soldiers. California and tbe im moose domain acquired from Mexico, as indemnity for ths expenses of the war, was purchased with Son them blood. The records of the War De part mant show that the Southern St ales furnished mors trorpi than tbe North em S'ate In the war that conqne-ed Mexioo. The history of the c-uintry tells the story of the valor of the S juth ern troops in that b'oudy couflict. If wsr shonld grow ont of tv.e preeenl troubles with Mexico, the Southern States would take the contract to conquer a peace at any sped fled time. The maimed and scared Confederate vete.aos wnu'd hobble to the front and the old rebel yell wou'd Boon be heard in the clasio hells ol the capitol of Mexico. Should war be declared against Mexico or any other foreign powtr the rebels would pour forth from the cities, towrn, valleys, bills and mountains of the South and flock to tbe ri is of the Uulon and show how their hearts tbrob with loy alty to their country how grow ly they are slandered by tho nnn combntinU in ths war between tho Status, and who would s'iil bs non combatants In a war with Mexico or any other foreign power. Men who war upon their dolt useless country men in ptace are always fi r peato in war. the oi.i:omhu vkim: nun:. Man iu his timet pays many rarUi" so does C ng'eM.

This fjod was declared to bs an imitation of bti tr, but altogether different from and in ferior U thtt wholes mie end salutvy articlo. With all this difference and inferiority, ihe introducer of the oleomargarine bill declares that where there is a St its law prohibiting the sale of oleoin trgarine )r but'er, "it is extremely ditlloult, often impofeible, to exocuts it, by reason of the fact that Imitations of butter made in neighboring Slate could come sews tb border unchal lenged, and only chemical analysis could detect the fraud." Who but a Congressman would think it neces sary to tax olenmargeriue as poison ous, when only chemical analysis can can discover any difference between it and sweet, wholes ime dairy butter T TEMPERANCE HEf HORN, The laws of Mcses are conspicuous for their negatives "Tbou shalt not" fares us throughout ths dialogue. Tbe teachings of Jesus were mainly positive. The friends of thit kindot temperance that seeks the snppret sioo of diankenno.'S regret to tes that ttie temperance movement in this couatry rue eo cKstly followed tbe Mosaic neg ative, and advoctted penalties and en forcement not winning converts but driving the unwilling to outward con formity. The attempt is to deprive t;f a social resource without provld Ing a subetitu'e. In England a more consistent and more amicable policy is pnrcued. Tlacts are ertabliahed where mn in their leisure hours can meot socially, and clubs are formed that have pleasant rooms to spend the evening in; ches?, bllliardp, checkers, dominoes and other games can bs played, books read., and con versation indu'ged in over the pipe cr cigar. The club organize picnics and excursion, musical enter tainment and ball. The association! of the club are all agreeable, iti pleas ant hour lighten the toll of the day and soothe tbe worry of life. Sure of an agreeable evening, soch as will bear the morning' reflection, the toiling artisan and the tired tradesman find tbe social comfort of the clnb mors at tractive than the debauch of tbe liquor saloon. Such institutions do not drive and force with noeympathix ing iterances, but win to temperance by wbat is attractive and agreeable. Tbe gentle leadings of love are better tban the bitterness of rursh force. TAX AID STJBNIDT. When experience and a wider knowledge bave taught the American people to regard many things with more widely opened eyestlai iheydo today, how they will smile at many things we are doing now. Take, for instance, the question of giving subsi dies to ehips, to induce them to run to given ports, which was reported upon in Congress Fridiy. Wo want to b11 our manufactures abroad. We invent and make machinery and lay down railroads tbat we iray make and transport various articles cheaply. We lay tix?s upon the matt rial used, the machinery Imported, and tbe Iron laid on the railroads, in order to make the products d. ar. The heme ship ping is tsxed in materials and other ways to make it dear. The consequence is that our ships cannot compete with tLe ships of other nations. Under tbere circum stances our ship owners who are ardent advecst-s for the taxes that make our shipping desr complain tbat, in consequence ot the d arness of American ships, they cannot carry freight as cheaply a other nat'ons do. In order to enable them to carry freight at the eame price as other people do, they demand that Con gress shall allow them a subtidy to enable them to cirry freight as cheap ly ss other na'ions do. For each one thousand miles traveled Congress is aked to prjvido for the payment of thirty cents on every tin of the ship's register ont of the taxes. The ex panse would be $0,3C0,(O0 per year. Is not this an absurd, sea faw way of dilng business? The eea taw being pushed up and pulled down with the profoundest gravity by tne though- ful and intelligent American states men of the day. It reminds one of the monkey tbat was applied to to di vide equally between two claimant a piece of cheese. He broke It in two, and pnt one piece into eic'i "f the di'hn of a pair of scales. One side proved to be heavier than the other. He bit a piece off to equalize the slices, but then tbe other piece proved too heavy, so he bit a piece off that. The prrcais had to be repested and again repeated unt 1 the eve a shares of each owner came out a very small crumb. So the ship owners prupose to take a b'te off fhf tax end, then a bite of! the subsidy end, and while they play this monkey game the reoplears to supply the cbees", even if a good many of them have to go hungry. We may ac cept all this as grive results of Con greesiona' wisdom, but a future genera tion will feel sore that this generation is terribly deficient in common eento.

The Inter Ocean't St. Louis, Mo , special eays: A robbery c f a meet seueaional charac ter was committed lat night at a vil lage on tile Illinois and St. Liu is rail road called Piituburg, situa ed at the foot of tbeChoko blnfl', about nine miles from St. Louis. The v.ct'm was Lawrence Fnrber, a German firmer, aged 43 yeais, who owns one of the prettiest farms in the whole county. Furber lives in his home with nts wile, and has no children. He is an indus trious and thrifty farmer, and had managed to save considerable money, a portion of wbich he kept in his house. It was about 1 o'clock this morning that Furb rurouefor the pur pose of taking a lead of cabbages to the St. Louis market. II s wife had been apprised by him of his intention, and win e ne went to tnestni'e to hitch up bis team she lit a fire in tbe stove to prepare fcim a cup of coffee before lis took bis departU'e. Furbf rhaiing bitched up the team am' partaken of the beverage, started oil for St. L-.uis. He had not proceeded more tban 30) ya'ds whon four men sprang out In'o the road from behind some shrubberv. and two of them grabbed tne horses heads, wmie tne other two placed revolvers at the frightened farmer's temples and coun seled him t) be quiet. He obeyed, and one of ihe robbers then drew a rope from his pocket with which he proceeded to bind tbe farmer's arms and fett Us was also about to put a curb in Furber's month, but changed bis mind and warm d i urbnr, however, that if he cried out for help be wou'd put A DULLET IN HIS HEAD. One ol the men at tho horses' heads tbeo came bark and with bis assist ance tbe other two then picked Fur ber up in their arms and carried bim bock to the house. Tbe other turned the teim and brought tbe wngnn back, When some shrubbery, which con cealed the front of the home from view, was passed Furber perceived his wife standing at the door and called to her in German. She lr.ohed, and see ing the three men with her husband between them and another leading the team, ran into the house, and taking a wallet, containing 1400, from a bureau drawer threw it underneath a cup board in the kitchen. Furber was brought into the bouse bv the h'gb wavinen and laid cn tbe bed, and the villains 'seized Mrs. Furber, who is close on to 60 years ot age. aid by means of a rope pinioned her arms and limbs and laid her beelde ber hns band. On of them brought in a lamp from tbe kitchen and by the light Forbor and his wife saw tbat there were three men in tbe room and were masked. The third man, tbe tallest nf the three, wore no mask, and b ith arber and bis wile think they could identify him again. Tte fourth robber they did not see, he having remained ontside to keep watch. The two men with masks had revolvei in their hands, and, placing the muzzle to the heads of the fright ened fatmer and his wife, demanded of them tbe hiding place of their wealth. Both refused to reveal and one of tbe ruffians then ce'zed Mrs. Furber by te th oat and threa'ened to choke her to death un lees ehe told him whore tbe money wai concealed. Furber tried his beet to loosen bis arm and free his wife from the ruffian's grasps, but BIS STRUGGLES WgKK UNAVAILING Although the robber loft tbe in print of his lingers on Mrs. Furber's thoat, ths was firm and refused to tell where tho treasure was bid The robbers tlieri held a thort c nfo'enco, the re su t ol which was that two of them ttarted to ran-ack tlii liou;e in search of the treasure, while the thud re iriainrd uuurd over tho farmer ni il hi wif(.

Furber, cn going to the front donr, was surprised to fi id tent tbe rubbers had ltfi his team, and by the advice of bis wife be immediately drove to French Village and sent telephone message at ones to Sherifl Ropequ'er. This afternoon a man named Conroy, who lives near toe Furber place, was arrested, bat the' seems no gojd grounds ior ho'diog him. PROHIBITION 1.1 MAINE. A Clergy a fa TbM State Tells Haw It Works. Boston Record : Tbe account of ths proceedings of tbe Anti-silron Con vention on Mondav interested me great y, and because I believe that this is an important period for the temperance movement as well as for the R' publican party I cannot keep ei'ent. It is eurpr'sirg, it is saddening to sre the willful ignorance) which pre vails among educated Prjhibitimiets in regurd to the effects and practica' wokinc of nrohibitorv laws. Herinn them defend their theoiio", which a-e ad mi aulo as theories, omi would think that tbere wsa rot a spot upon this glolrewiif re prohibition ha bejn tred and where they could ob serve Its practical working. There has beeu for years a prohibitory law on tho statute books of Maine. What do our Prohibitionists dj. about it? They do not make for themselves any independent investigations of its woikincs ncr listen to any unpre judiced report of its effects. They look with blinded eyes and htar with clos'd up ears. The minds of the publ'c are filled with distorted, partial and unprejudiesd accounts of tbe working of the prohibitory law. Take, for example, tbe case of Canon Fairer and hi lecent vis't to this country. He visited Portland, was taken In charge by tome of the load ing Prohibitionists, and what la the re sult? lie returns to England and makes some of the most astonishing and Incorrect stitements in legard to liqnor traffic and drunkenness in Maire. 1 have been living for over a year and a ba f in one of the town cf Maine of about 5000 inhabitants. This ia wbat I bave teen and known the rec'jrds of my own personal observa tion and experience: There ar on tbe street, within ons minute's walk of each other and as mar tbe station, three grog ehop, and I suspect four others, two bote's and foor drugj totes, where liqnor is told by the glts. 1 wvs walking hv ore ot tbe cros shops before I had been hare three months, ween two men just going in turned and raid t) me: " Won't oc come in and t'Ue a drink?" I was nkcown to them and thev to me. Thus openly is liquor so'd hure. aid t ior e.rs thy have had a temper ance Mayor, a Reform Club and a Law and Order Lage. It is no unusuil thing to sea men staggering drank on the st'eef, and on pub ic occasions the sa'e of liquor is inc ea ed. It is a great mistake to mate the jmpeiAme question an element in o it c, for by eo doinz it has to suffer from tbe political cornptions. I am nvinced tne law could be more ef fectively enforced were it not. used as a tool by and in the interest of poli ticians and parties. I lived for a short time near a town in Massachusetts where local option prevailed. The inhabitants Laving vo'ed no licence at the town meeting. tbe prohibitory law went into effect tor a year. During that year the cum ber cf gro ebons increased from twelve to fourteen, and the following year tne no license was tarred by an overwhelming majority, the rum sclleis tbemse.VfS voting for prohibi tion, faying tbere were no restrictions and no taxes and bigri prices for poor wmsxy under the prohibitory law. in conclusion, 1 would draw attf n tion to thtse three statements, which I believe to be mcontestably true: list runnc sentiment can do more than law to regu'ate the liquor traffic. Second Only public rentiment can enforce tbe prohibition law, and pub lic eentiment is not with that law; for, ma'iilo3:iy, prohibition dots cot pro- hibi'. Third The rrohibitoi v law does not educate public sentiment, but only deaioral'zes it. A ILERQYMAN IN MAINE. CUTTING SENTENCED. One Tear's Imprlaonment and Six Hundred Dollars Fine.

While other Western roads nave been embroiled in bitter fights this company bss kept tbe even tenor of it- w ay. At a recent meeting of the manager of the g'eat Western rfads ths proposition offered by the pre-ddent of ono of tbe thief lines, looking to a general f ar-ement on the basis of tbe pooling cf money earnings, met its only open oppnmtirn from tbe general manag'-r of the Illinois Cen tral, Mr. E.T.
