Hon. EN-. Etheridge has once de
clined the noEination of the repub
Iican party for Governor; but it is
now intimated that he may possibly
reconsider the matter and make the
race yet. 1t depends possibly upon
the result of the consultation with
representatives of the great Nation
al Greenback party. The State con-
vention of the litter will be in ses-
sion to-day in Nashville. 1t may

democrats do who have got into

The ereenback Party.

The jackson Tribune and Sun
puts forth the following expose Of
the so-called National or Greenback
party.
"Shelby county elected what the
Avalanche by courtesy calls the Ma
tion ticket. Davidson county elect
ed a portion of the ticket opposed
to the Democratic nominees, and
we believe it is claimed as a Ma
tional victory to that extent.
Among the nominees on the sue
cessful Shelby county ticket, we
understand there were a majority
of Radicals, and one of them ne
gro. The Avalanche and the Ma
tionals rejoice over the election of
their ticket, swallowing the negro
Register with the balance of the
ticket. Not because they loved
him, but because it was so written
in the trade. 1t is all glorious and
right, and all National. The great
Borbour Lewis, Sd, Shaw and all
the Radical party of Shelby county
is swallowed up in an hour, and the
same old Radical machine comes to
the front labeled the National par
ty. In Davidson county the ALI
ance was made openly and notori
ously between the Nationals and
the Radicals, end the same label Of
National stuck up oyer the hplk
of Radicalism, which furnish
ed, in Shelby county. the great ma
jority of the votes. In this county,
true to their principles, the Nation
ais through their organ here, and
through their leaders 2llied them
selves with the solid negro vote to
defeat the Democratic party.

"Its instincts, its purpose 8, it's al
liances, its hopes and preferences,
all array it with Radicalism, and
make it part and parcel of the
Radical party in the attempt to
overthrow Democracy. The Demo
crat who has joined it is in the
house of his enemies. and is being
led into the Radical camp under
the subterfuge of false name. 1t

pushed into the South to pave the
way into the Radical party for men
who want to abandon the Demo
cratic party and have not the moral
courage to 60 at once to the Radi-
calls. 1t is half way house, and is
run by the Radical bosses to aid
Radicalism in overthrowing the
Democracy. 1t advances but one

of relief, which it will never give,
should come out from it, and go
with the Democratic party which
will soon have the ability, and has
shown it's will, to afford all
the relief that legislation can give.
If the Democratic party does not
give US what We want after it has

necessary relief, then it will be time
enough to abandon it. We would |

Let the reader think for a moment
what the democratic party has done
for the South and for the whole
country, and he WILL never desert
her. Let him think of the desper-
ate opposition she has met with
from the government itself, and re-
Anesaber her achievements in the face
of all difficulties, and he will natu-
rally and justly conclude that she
is invincibie. The secret of it all
is, she is the party Of the people,
against all monopolies and rings to
Cypress the masses.

The Republican Platform.

The Republican party of the State of Ten
nessee. in convention assembled, while reaf-
frminR its devotion to the great principles
of the Republican party heretofore repeat
eddy declai ed, yet with direct application to
the present question at issue IN our State AZ
fairs, do further declare:
l. That we are opposed to reputation Of
any kind or by any means; that we favor
the payment of all just liabilities of the State
according to the terms of her obligations;
except so far as the creditors may volunta-
rily concede more favor able terms; and th6t
the last Democratic Legislature, IN falling to
honestly adjust the bonded debt of the State,
showed themselves unworthy the Office of
Legislators and unfit representatives of an
honest people willing to do right and anx-
ious to avoid the crime of reputation.
2 We arraign the Democratic party of the
State of Tennessee for its inconsistency and
recreancy to public trust in failing to meet
the great question of the State liabilities
with frankness and honesty in its declara-
ton OF principles so called as set forth ct
its late convention.
3. Resolved, That we are in favor of the
strictest econoHly and most scrntinigIngc care
In the conduct of our State affairs, end that
the present system % allowing public officers
to retain the fees of such offices over and
above q reasonable compensation for their
services is oppressive and unjust, and we
pledge or rsslves to the enactment of law
which will require the payI1eHt Of the ex-
cess of suQh fees over and abose such reason
able compensation into the public treasury.
4. That we are in favor Of liberal system
of'public schools to be supported by general
State taxation adequate to the education of
81 The childreh of the State believing that it
is an absolute necessity tc the perpetuity of
republican Institutions. Intelligence and good
government under a truly demo cratic form
Of goVeFnment go hand in hand, therefore
psrfecting and perpetuating the common
school system of the State upon broad and
liberal basis, TO the end that 50 government
of the people by the people and for the peo-
pie, shall not perish from the earth"
4. We are opposed to the system of leasing
convict labor to be brought into competition
with mechanics and other laboring men of
the State, Q system inaugurated and persist
ently mainttiped By tbs Democratic party
tending to degrade labor and deprive the
toiling masses Of their just opportunity for
merited reward.
6. That we are in favor of encouraging
immigration to our State, and point incom-
ing population to our salubrious climate,
manifold resources and abundant harvests.
7. We demand such further legislation
is necessary to insure free and fair elections,
and the fair return of the votes cast.
s. That we favor such "mechaLics' lien
law as will protect honest mechanics in
their just compensation for material fur
nished or labor performed.
We cordially invite al citizens, without
regard to previous party affiliations, to unite
with us upon the declaration of principles
herein contained:
