EDITOR OF THE NEWS :"
The time and place being fixed for
hUidiug the Conservative Convention,
| the question comes home to US of the
Shall We be represented
in the Convention ?n although it is to
be held in Richmond? If we decide
to be represented then the other ques
zion arises-"hOW are the delegates to
be chOsen?" The convention sits the
2nd of August, aud only one court in
terVenes in Washington County. Are
the delegates to be chosen on the
plan" laid down by the "old fogy
| executive committee'-or in general
meeting at the Court House on cOuri
| day? If the latter then let it be so
understood.
The next question is; on what basis
will the nomination be made-in other
words, shall il be convention of the
| people, or of few managers? If the
| population basis is adopted, the organ
ization will be fair but if the Walker
vOten or the Greeley vote" shall be
adopted as the basis for voting in Con-
vention. that would be unfair, and
few cunning managers may and no
doubt will defeat the peoples will in
making up the State Ticket. If the
voting in convention is to be on the
'Greely vote basis" let US of the
Southwest knOW at Cnce, that we may
decide whether to appoint delegates or
not? Let it also be understood that
no "mum candidaten is TO be brought
before the convention. If a man as
piTing to a nomination has not the
moral courage to speak out in advance
of the convention, and shadow forth
his policy if elected; let it be generally
understood that his "claims" cannot
be considered. The man who has no
| more principle than to try to sneak
into public office by cOncealing his
opinions on questions Of vital mo-
ment to the people, is no better than
the man who seeks to obtain money
or property on a false pretence or to-
ken. Let the principles that are to
govern and the measures to be carried
out, be openly and boldly proclaimed;
and let the candidates be pledged to
stand by them in their public and
! official action, and then every voter
will cast his ballot understandings
Let US know ifl ddUdRce the views of
the candidate for Governor, upon the
Public Debt question, the judicial
ques ton, the internal Improvement
question and the Free School question.
These are OF so much importance to
the people that they must not be blink
ed. The northern people ride the
''anti-rebel" hobby, the southern peO-
pie ride the "anti-radicaln hobby
They should both dismOunt and tell
their people aUhdt they are for. Gen
eraI Kemper, Colonel Withers, Mr..
Tucker &c. &c, were you for or against
the funding bill, are You opposed to
restoration of the County Court Sys-
tenn, are you for or opposed to free
railroad law, and are you in favor of
or opposed to taxation on the basis
provided in our present constitution.

We respect fully solicit an answer
We cannot believe that any man quail
flied to be the Governor of this COM
monwealth will refuse to let his
opinions be known in advance of the
nomination. Measures not menu is
the true motto, and the master has the
right to know what his servant will do

The census of 1870 acordS to
Greeneville population Of 1889
In abouttwenty-fve days there have
been about forty deaths from Choi-
err. This amounts to about tour
per cent Of the population, a death
rate which has never been equalied
in the mountains Of East Tennes-
see. During the past week the
number has averaged some three CT
four per day. And yet it may be
said that far the larger portion Of
the population has been away from
there. It is doubtful if there be
now more than one hundred PEG
PIE there, and no one can tel what
the mortality would amount TO ii
the town had not been almost depop-
ulated. The local physicians have
been worked down, and Drs. Tad
loci, and Campbell Of Knoxville
have thrown themselves into the
breach until they have almost been
prostratcd by their labors. At
present DR.. T. A. Ramsey, OF the
same city, is there and he is very
celebrated physician. DR.. Tadlock
is also eminent in his profession
There seems TO he great scarcity Of
nurses and Of food. We cannot
understand why or how the town
and county authorities suffer these
things to be so. Greene county
need be no mendicant and her whole
power ought to be brought to bear
in behalf of that afflicted town.

attacked on Saturday was reported
bad on Sunday, but is now better.
On Saturday there we're three
deaths including Mr.. Morehead,

ALL France seems unsettled
The election of Mcmahon is regard
as an exercise of revolutionary pow
er on the part Of the assembly which
was elected to make peace, and not
to use it. There can be no question,
that this is as clear a case of usnrpa-
ton, as was the founding of the En-
pie.
Prince Napoleon has returned to
France. and is really holding recep
tions which, in their foreshadowing
character and magaificence, surpass
those Of President Mcmahon. H S
popularity is really remarkable and
just now is to the party in power, the
subject of very grave apprehension. -
He is said 20 resemble to q surprising
degree the first Napoleon, and to be
the ablest one of that family alive.
Present shadows seem to picture him
