at the Office. Maryville, Tenn, Second Clasi Matter. EDITORIAL. BE RESPECTABLE. The ay for southern republicans to respected, 1 to bririn by rt-six'ctlnjf themselves.

If they are moreeniiry and mean on one hand, jr quietly submit to being Ignored rtn the ot'-er, they will have no reelect for themselves and nobody will respect ihem If they want to he influential they journal. The above is the truth and it is high time the republicans of thja State, who have the welfare of their country and party at heart, to wake up to this fact. Too long have the decent and respectable republicans in this State let the mercenary and mean politicians represent them; and the leaders of the North have learned to look upon all Southern republicans as rascal mid political tricksters who are ready to sell even their souls for a piece of government pie, thrown to them in almost tho same sprii as one would throw a bone to a yellow cur dog. This is not verv palatable iruth, but all the same it is tho truth and the steady, straightforward business men of our party must bo put forward and bo backed up by our sturdy and patriotic yoemanry and thn ringH-ters given to understand that it is now time lor them to take a back seat. Steps have been taken in this direction, we are glad to say, in this district and throughout the state.

This was quite noticeable in the last state convention, where there was an almost complete overhauling of the iiiddiiiiery of the party. There is too much policy among the republican papers. They are afraid to speik out and condemn the evil in the party and there is a holding up of hands in holy horror, whati one does do this and for 'harmony's sake" they say don't do that? The Times doesn't care to harmonize with any such fellows and we believe that if all tho republican papers would brake loose and speak out along this line inanv more respectable poople would be attracted to our party p.ad more would be gained in the end by such a course. If we seek to defend or shield this mean and mercenary spirit in our own party we can lay no claim to being any better than the democratic press, which tries to blind the people to democratic faults and make them believe the misgovcrn-ment of this state in the past has been both wise and good. We know there is good in the party we represent, then let us commend the good, but resolutely set our faces against the evil and allow it no place in the grand old party.

Again we say we are glad steps have been taken in the right di rection, but we warn the good men of the party to be vigilant, lor "eternal vigilance is the price of liberty" and this mean class of politicians are adepts in the art of de ception and may make us believe that they are the very fellows who brought about these reforms and so again get control of affairs for their own selfish ends. Be cautious, be prudent and above all be respectable republicans. Br all means let us discuss State questions in the coming gubernatorial campaign. When the Rock wood Times takes snuff tho Roane Couty Republican always does the sneezing. The 'State Press Etchings" department in the Nashville American is certainly spicy and interesting.

Fiddling Bros won't be "in it" against "Jeemes" Harris if the liftlvr is allowed to have a barn attachment to the democratic convention hall. Chairman Carroll, of the democratic state committee, says that "Tennessee is the worst governed state in ttie Union." That is hat the republican press of the state has been saying all the time and some other people besides Mr. Carroll have waked up to that fact and are going to try a change of tovemment by putting the republicans in control this year. Thief Tcrney, Pop-gun Snod-j grass and Slugger Smith are pro-ducts of the democratic party in Tennessee and will be among the "State issues" discussed by the voters during this campaign. The Nashville American thinks that entries in the Gubernatorial race cnn slowly.

Not many care lo have the earth wiped up with their political anatomy used as the mop. This is republican year. ''Jeemie" Harris thinks this counting out busness, after the returns are all in, ii rather rUky business, although he did help in one, and if he is the democratic nominee for governer he will no doubt have a handy barn near every voting place In the State and have agood big majority "fixed up" before he gives out the returns. This county needs better railroad facilities and the proposed Black Diamond road a too impor tant not to go through. It is a straight line from Chicago to 8a-Tannah, via.

and would be the best paying road in the country. Mary ville is on tills direct line and any other route would be a loss and disadvantage the road as well as the county and we look for the road to be put through. We are sorry to hear of bitter fights In other parts of Tennessee between the friends of the different candidates for president. This is wrong and works only Injury to the party. McKinley and Reed are both good men and the nomination will be safe In tho hands of either one of them.

Republicans should not engage in such bitter factional fights over presidential candidates, unless one is a very iucompetant man. The latest scheme of the old gang in this district is to have un-instructed delegates sent to the Congressional convention at Kiiox-ville and then spring some mas on the convention in opposition to Judge Gibson, who will do their bidding. It is tafe to say that Blount will instruct her delegates, so that thtre will be no mistake as to the way they vote. Our people plainly showed that they were op- imsedJto the other set and the' don't want them back in power Just yst. All Free.
