THE Banners position adverse to nom
mating conventions in general and in the
present political situation, especially, is
well known to its readers and the public !;
yet it has no disposition in the canvass
upon which we are about to enter, to in
sist that its previously expressed opinions
regarding them, shall be entertained, if it
be really the desire of the majority of the
people of Tennessee that nominating
State Convention to select Gubernatorial
candidate shall be had.
After much elaboration upon the sub
iect and consultation with many of the
most influential citizens from all parts of
the State, we are forced to the conclusion
that State Convention is not to be avoid
ed in the pending canvass with safety to
the conservative interests of our State

THE Banner, in commenting on the
letter of Hon. VIM. II. Stephens ''To the
Wings of West Tennessee, :" which it does
not publish, says:
Why letter ''to the Wings of West
Tennessee" should be necessary at this
time puzzles US as much as that any sane
man should entertain even a suspicion of
the existence of such class as 'the
Wings, - in West Tennessee or anywhere
else.
We fear that our contemporary has not
heard of the persistent efforts which have
been made in TINT division of the State to
induce the old Wings to believe that the
Democracy were going to form "third
party" which was to be irrecOnciJa6Le to
the constitution, laws and government of
the United States in general, and to old
Wings in particular.

The Banner says: 1t has been
suggested by many of our friends that the
Chairman of the former Conservative
State Executive Committee of 1868, Gre
ated by the Conservative State Convention
of that year, called 10 nominate electors
in the last Presidential canvass, now call
that committee together for the purpose
of issuing officially call upon the Con-
sentative people of the State to elect dele
gates from their respective counties to
State Gubernatorial Convention at the
Capitol, to assemble at such time as may
be agreed upon as most convenient.
Our contemporary has taken a dislike
to the Word Democrat. 1t speaks of ''the
Chairman of the former Conservative
State Executive Committee of 1868, Gre
ated by the Conservative State Conven-
ton of that year." Upon turning to the
files of the Banner giving the proceed
ings of that Conservative" Convention,
we find this caption,
.E TENNESSEE DEMOCRACY"
given to those proceedings. Upon turn
ing to the "sound PLATFORM" as the Ban
ner called it, which was reported from
the Committee on Resolutions by Gen.
John c. Brown, Chairman, and adopted
by the Convention, we find that it begins
as follows:
''Whereas, the people of Tennessee
irrespective of former party affiliations,
or differences of opinion arising out Of
the recent civil war, in convention
assembled for the purpose of appoint T.
ing delegates to represent them IN THE
NATIONAL DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION to
meet in the city of New York on the 4th
of July next" etc.
Further along in this preamble the Con-
vention declare -.....
'sThey deem it proper to adopt the name
and designation borne By the only political
organization NTH aOlieh they can associate,
and an thus formally aRitiRg themselves
aoSth THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY as 1t 20lo er-
lists, they herewith declare the principles
they maintain, etc.
That is tie way the party was styled
then. 1t was not "Con8erVdtiUe, but
