THE NATIONAL REPUBLICAN
81" PLATFORM.

The following is the platform, as
adopted by the National Republican
Convention that nominated Hayes
and Wheeler:

dence this land WAS to De purgcd OF
human slavery, and when the strength
Of the Government of the people, by
the people, for the people, was dem
onstrated, the Republican party came
INFO power, Its deeds have passed
into history, aud we look back to
them with pride, Incited by stheir
memories and high aims for the good
of our country and mankind, and
looking to the future with unfaltcr-
ing courage, hope and purpose, we,
the. representatives of the party in
National Convention assembled make
the following declaration of princi-
pies:
First. The United States of Amer
lea as a nation, not a league; by the
combined working of the National
and State governments under their
respective Constitutions, the rights OF
every citizen are secured at home and
protected abroad, and their common
welfare promoted,
Second. The Republican party
has preserved those governments to
the huudredth anniversary of the ma
TONS birth, and they are now'embod-
iments of the great truths spoken at
its cradle, that al men are created
equal; that they are endowed by
their Creator with certain inalienable
rights, among which are life, liberty
and the pursuit. of happiness; that
for the attainment of these ends gov
ernments have been instituted among
men, deriving their just powers from
the consent Of the governed; until
those truths ore ch~eerfully obeycd, if
needed to be vigorously enforced, the
work of the Republican party is In
finished. The permanent paciication
of the Southern section of the Union,
the complete protection Of all its citi-
zens in the free enjoyment Of all
their rights are duties to which the
Republican party are sacredly pledg-
ed. Applause. The power to pro-
vide for the enforcement of principles
in the recent constitutional
amendments is vested by the amend
ments in the Congress Of the United
States, and we declare il TO be the
solemn obligation Of Che Legislative
and executive departments Of the
Government to put into immediate
and vigorous exercise all their consti-
tutional powers for removing any

Tho ChanCelOrship.

The Sd day Of August is draw
ing near and people are begin
ming to make up their minds as to
who they will vote for. On this
subject we wish to have our read
ers to cpnsider the name of ID. G.
Trewhitt for Chancellor. Mr..
Trewhitt il an able man and q
better Chancellor can not be elect
ed. AS we have said before, Mr..
Trewhitt in politics is a Republi-
can, butebecause he is a Republi-
can, is no reason he should be
elected if he was not we'll quail
fed for the position. But he is
qualified. He is as we'll, or bet
ter, qualified than any Supreme
judge that sets on the Supreme
bench in Tennessee. For proof
of this we nave only to refer the
reader to his decisions when he
was Chancellor six years ago.
And as we have said before, it is
the desire Of Mr. Tre9hitt and
his competitor that politics should
not be brought in to,the race; we
earnestly hope that every reader
of the HERALD will cody consider
the matter before casting their
vote in this case, and the result
will be satisfactory to all.

The ChanceIIor's EIectIon.

Ii is an admitted truth, that in
dicial elections should not be
controlled by political considera
tons. a chancellor should enter
upon the discharge of his duties
entirely free from political eLian-
clements.
The mental, moral and legal
qualifications of the respective
candidates, should be the guide
to the voter When he goes TO the
polls in such an election.
In this spirit, tie canvass in this.
district osteDaIls Opened.

announcement as a candidate, in
the daily Tines.
This proposition. as TO conduc-
ting the canvass, was accented nv

ment in the CLEyELAyD NFRALp.
and has been acted on by. him,
II is TO be regretted, however
that lately, Judge Bradford and
his friends, or some of them, see
ing that on the issue made that
he was beaten have resolved to
the unjust policy of urging his
election upon the grounds Of po:
litical qualifications. Efforts have
been made in mrst if not all the
counties of the district TO have
Judge Bradford endorsed rs a
party candidate in political meet
Iings, called for other purposes.
Such "A course is wrong, and in
violation of the agreed and pub
lished issue between the candi-
dates and is an appeal to the pref
udice of the partisan which if car
ried out would make the election
one Of the party instead of by the
whole people, and for the whole
people such a convass and elec
ton would have q strong tenden
cy to pervert and currupt the due
administration Of justice.
We trust that the thinking citi-
gyms of all parties will not forget
the real issue and be misled by
such maneuvering into a political
contest.
The course Of Judge Bradford
and his friends is the more TO be
condemned; because of the stub.
burn position assumed by him
at the Outset-not to submit tC
any convention but to run as 8
non-political candidate. BY this
means he horned off several gooC
lawyers of the district; and now
having the field to himself, witt
but one opponent, he attempts tc
give that contestant a push witt
political horn. Such tricks nigh
be winked at, in a political can
yass, but are too thin, wiry anC
out of place to be endorsed by
good and candid men in vOtins
for Judicial officers. The vote
should rise to the same plane a,
the officer is expected to move
upon, beyond and above party
for the good of all. The people
are entitled to the best qualifca
tons the district can command
irrespective Of party feeling O
preference. OBSERVER.

That Convert

An aIast weeGs Knoxville Trib-
une appeared an article which the
Tribune said was from "distin-
guished Minister of this State. In
the article he said "for many
years ! have been a firm support
er of the principles of the Repub-
lican party" The Democracy of
Cleveland have been growing
over the article and
claiming that the Minister
is Nat Taylor. Whether it is Nat
Taylor or not il makes no differ
ence. But ii can not be Taylor,
for he has been a Democrat for
the last twelve years. The fact
that he is a Minister in the M. 4.
Church is no reason that he is or
ever was a Republican. If it is
Mr.. Taylor, all that is necessary
to prove our statement that he
was a Democrat, is to ask some
one that was a delegate to the
Republican Convention that nom
mated Hon. VIM. GrItchfela for
Congress. At first the Republi-
-.
cans thought they could not de-
feat Key with a Republican, so
they tried to induce Mr.. Taylor to

FROM THE KNOXVILLE DAI.
In CHRONICLE.

Democratic newspapers have
searched the record Of Hayes
from one end tGthe other, private
and public, andlnot one spot can
they find against him. And now
what to do nextis the question.
Why, forsooth, because he is a
Republican he must carry all the
mistakes made by his party.
There is nothing against Hayes
and Wheeler, but they must car
ry the crimes committed by some
Of the Republican officials. APP
ply the same principle to Mr..
Tilden, and where will he stand!
Is he not a member of a party
which, when in power before the
war proved to be the very es-
sence Of corruption, and which.
not satisfied with stealing the
treasury empty, attempted to
steal the Southern States and set
up.a government fits own. What
assurance has the country that
Mr.. Tilden will not follow in the
footsteps of the last Democratic
President and attempt to give the
Government over into the hands
ofthose who would gladly destroy

New York TimeS, a Republican
paper, had thoroughly exposed
this corrupt ring, could Mr.. Til

and only then he came out as a

that line? Tweed was tried, it is

Defeated, but Defiant.

A Detroit youth of thirteen, says NJ.
Quad, sold fifty pounds of old iron and a
piece of lead pipe, a few days ago, and re-
ceived enough money to carry out his long
cherished idea of establishing weekly
newspaper, which should represent the in
terests of every section of Michigan. He
was willing to commence low down and
work up, and he established an office in the
cellar OF his fathers house, purchased two
quarts of 'pi," hired his sister as an appren-
tlce. and work was begun on his first mum.
Der. This boy had an idea that an indie
pendent journal would pay best, and his
first edition, which consisted of seven copies
of q sheet about as large as an en-
velOpe, was devoted to items of personal
nature. 1t was rather family sheet also,
seven of the eight items in it being hits at
his father and mother. and the lone one was
q bit of advice to his school teacher.
While he was out hunting up advertis-
ing and soliciting subscribers. his father
laid the type away to shoot cats with, his
mother kindled the fire with the wooden
press, and when the editor and proprietor
returned he was given q wo0dshed inter-
view and then welded to the handle of a
lawn mower. He was yesterday ''holler.
ing" over the alley fence to one of his
friends that he couldn't be crushed out nor
frightened of the track by no bloodthirsty
mob, but the prospect OF q new paper is
dubious.
