he kept ont of the saloons and not dis.

midable, although there arc numbers of
Republicans who wonld not support
him under any circumstances. Still,
had he have been nominated fairly and
and squarely, he would have stood q
good chance of election. Beyond all
dispute not the Peoples choice, with no
hold on the popular affections and no
magnetism to attract strong personal
following handicapped with all the dis

as certain as the dawn of the morrow's
sun. Were the opposition composed of
the floating and unstable elements of
the Republican Party, they might be
reconciled and brought in by few tilts
of the bloody shirt, but unfortunately
for the gifted champion of the Rings,
very large number of the staid, reflect

DEATH OF GEN PILLOW.

- Cen. Gideon Johnson Pillow died
last week at his residence. near Hell

He was born in Williamson county.
June 8, 1906. He graduated at the
University at Nashville in class of
1927, studied law and began the
practice of his profession at Colum-
.bia. In 1914 he was delegate to
the Democratic National Conven-
ton at Baltimore. where he aided
largely in gaining the Presidential
nomination of Mr.. Polk. When the
war with Mexico broke out, in 1846,
he was made a Brigader General Of
Volunteers, and, after serving Gen.
TAYLOR, was ordered to join Gen.
Scott. at Vera Cruz. He was soon
made second in command to Gen.
Scott. He was twice wounded in
the Mexican war. Gen. Pillow was
the confidential adviser and agent
of President Polk, with whom he
had been law partner. He took a
gallant part in the battles of Vera
Cruz, Cerro Gordo. Cherubusco, Cha
pultepec and Molino del Rey. AT
ter the close of the war, he was ar
rested upon charges of insubordina-
ton, preferred by Gen. Scott. was
tried by court-martial and acquitted.
He then resumed the practice Of his
profession at Columbia. At that
time Gen. Pillow was a large slave
holder and wealthy planter. having
in Tennessee and Arkansas between
four and five hundred slaves. At
tie opening offthe late civil war he
entered the Confederate service,

THE ONLY CHARGE.

It is said that the only charge against
petty Bone is that he is a carpet-bagger.
This misstatement is in keeping with
the unlimited multitude of audacious
misrepresentations that bolster up and
fortify the petty-Bone scandal and out
rage. This fraudulent nominee has
proved himself a carpet-bagger of the
very worst type. What one of his now
most ardent supporters, who expects to
share largely in the profits of his igno-
BILE triumph If elected, has repeatedly
said, that she came South for no other
purpose but to get office" is clearly de-
monstrated fact. He had been here
hardly long enough to become citizen
when he was up for Attorney General.
Good men, born and raised here as 10y
al and as brave soldiers as he, were set
aside to give the Northern harpy this
fat berth. The adoption of the New
Constitution displaced him, and from
that time to this he has been engaged in
prosecuting and prosecuting as Assis.

mountain people under the oppressive
and iniquitous methods with which the
Revenue system has been managed in
East Tennessee. True, in the mean
time, he has regularly appeared as
candidate for Congress but he was in
variably shelved and rebuked, until his
foul conspiracy against the will of the
people culminated in his stolen nomina-
ton at Jonesboro.
In the eternal fitness of things, it has
been reserved for the Vampire from
Michigan to be the head, representa-
tive, champion and the product of Fraud

. THIRD PATTY.

- @~AS@ -
/ want to call your attention to a
comparison and analysis of the plat
forms of the three parties in Ten .
nessee claiming the confidence and
support of the people. s aal
The National Greenback platform,
adopted in convention at Toledo, on
the 22d of February, 1878, declares
that the Resumption act. the demon
etization of silver, the changing of
currency bonds into coin bonds, the
contraction of the currency by the
funding of greenback, excepting
bonds from taxation, and the prodi-
gal waste of the public lands, are
crimes against the people and the
origin of their misfortunes. The
Democratic party of Tennessee unite
with the National Greenback party
in denouncing these wrongs as the
source of their trouble. The third
party which we now have in the pol
itics of our State, which calls itself
the Greenback party of Tennessee,
adopts the language of the preamble
of the National Greenback platform
with certain notable exceptions, un-
til it comes down to the point where
the National platform points out the
causes which have produced our
troubles and denounces them as
crimes, but it entirely and totally
omits all of that portion of the Ma
tional platform. The platform adop-
ted by the Republican party makes
the same omission. 5a @
The National Greenback platform
not only nnltes in denouncing for
chile resumption crime. but they
unite in demanding unconditional |
repeal. The platform OF the third
party neither denounces it nor de-
mands its repeal nor does the plat
form of the Republican party.
The platform of the National
Greenback party not only denoun-
ces the decentralization of silver a
crime against the people, but by two
resolutions, unanimously adopted,
demanded its free and unlimited
coinage. and the Democratic party
OF Tennessee unites with the Green
back party in this demand. The
whole question is ignored in the

and the Democratic partya unite in
declaring that all debts. public and
private, shall be discharged in legal
tender money of the United States,
''strictly according to the stipnla-
tion of the laws under which they
were contracted" The platform of
the third party make no such de-
mand, but on the contrary;it simply
demands that greenbacks be made
equal to gold and silver, in the pay
ment of public debts, public and pri-
vate. and there is not demand in its
platform, nor in the platform Of the
Republican party, that the bonds or
any part of them shall be called in
and discharged in greenbacks. Take
out of the platform of the third par
ty the demand for the abolition of
national banks, and Mr.. Sherman
can stand on it without qualification.
He declares that he does not want
to destroy the greenback, that all he
wants to do is to make it equal in
every office to coin. He proposes to
do it by forcible resumption The ]
third party does not say how it
wants to accomplish it. but it is all

of the third party nor that of the
Republican party make any such |
demand. but. on the contrary the
simple demands of the third party
is that the greenback be made equal
in its functions as money with gold

people need more money, or that
they shall have more money. s1Ja5

LETTER FROM MARYYILLE.
The Canvass in BIOunt.
MARYvMLE. Tenn,
Dot 16 1873

Oct. 16, 1878.
To the Editor of The Morristown Gazette:
AS see you have not had letter
from "old Loyl Blount" of late l
think few items from here would
interest your many readers.
Well, politically, things are un
dergoing a considerable change. Old
party ties are being broke up and
many who were welded to the old
party are cutting loose and are seek
ing new leaders. For instance the
Radical party men say they cannot
longer follow their leaders-that it
is ''all talk and no cider"
Messrs. Watkins and Houk were
here last week and had a meeting
the result of which was, many were
added to Col. Watkins list. 1t is a
little strange how the party are
leaving the old ship, Judge Houk
who has been decidedly popular with
his party is losing ground. After
the two men had spoken here many
of the true and faithful - said they
would vote for the old man. The
people are beginning to open their
eyes. Col. Watkins made one of
the ablest speeches here that has
been made for years. He showed
how the people had been catching at
shadows, when the substance was in
their reach. The Colonel led off
and held the people perfectly spell
bound for one hour and half, when
Judge Houk came forward with his
ring performances. Spent his hour
and half in lOa0 jokes, failing to tell
the people of single thing they |
expected to hear. He told them
there was plenty of money in the
country. but the people could not |
see it. It would have been better |
for the Judge if he had not been
here. He made a glorious failure,
My prediction is Col. Watkins will
carry the county by an overwhelm-
ing majority. hear he is adding
votes everywhere he goes, and there
is no doubt of his election the 5th
of November next. The people say
the way Houk obtained his nomina-
tion ought to defeat him. His party
have concluded to let him kill him
self and if he is let alone he will do
it in a few days longer.
Judge A. S. Marks, candidate for
Governor, addressed large crowd
mere on the 4th inst. Judge Marks
received the hearty applause Of all
parties. Many Republicans said they
would vote for him. Capt. Rule, of
attempted a reply to
Judge Marks. He told few jokes,
WHICH amused the people, "but no.
body got hurt on our side" We
have a four handed reel in our Leg.
islative race. They are paired off.
Messrs. Brickell and Rowan are try
ing to adjust the State debt but can't
come to terms what to pay on the
dollar, Messrs. Love and Scott are
trying to get an additional issue of
in circulation, but the
near approach of resumption and the
daily contraction initiates decided
ly against them. At times all four
of the candidates profess to be green
hackers.
Rowan is running on the Republi-
can ticket. Brickell is on the Re-
publican, Democratic, Greenback,
Nondescript ticket. Love is on the
State Democratic platform. Scott
is on the Independent ticket. Each
one is sure he will be the man.
Don't forget my prediction--Col.
Watkins is our next Representative.

Gov. Marks on the Money Power
49, Against the People.

Below we publish an extract from
the speech of Hon. A. S. Marks,
made at Franklin on the 10Th ult.
The money power has not surren-
dered the struggle. If it can carry
the Lower House of Congress in this
campaign, it will be unavailing for
the people to elect-a President. He
never will be inaugurated. Grant,
the military dictator, is now in Eu-
rope in training for the campaign of
1880. The money power all over
the land is demanding his nomina-
tion. Gen. Sherman, tool of the
money power, is Commander-in-C
of the Army and even now be takes
occasion to go upon the stump and
in public harangues and threatens
the laboring man with the strong
arm Of the military power. John
Sherman, the head and front. of the
money power, holds the purse of the
government. With the sword in one
hand and the purse in the other,
Grant. the military dictator will not
hesitate to stride into power and
crush beneath the heel of the mill
tary despot the liberties of the
American people. a7as
Whoever loves equal laws, equal
rights and equal privileges, let him
rally under the standard of that
grand old party which has fought
hundreds of battles for the people
and never one against them. In the
next canvass the standard will be
borne by the statesman, Thurman,
the patriot Hendricks. or the gallant
glorious, eloquent Voorhees,. To-
day, on other fields, their clarion
voices are inspiring the old guard
of Democracy in the desperate as
sualt upon the citadel of the money
power. To-day we raise the banner
Of the old guard of the Volunteer
State and, standing shoulder to
shoulder, we will nail it to the top
most pinnacle Of glorious victory.
