POSTPONING THE DAY OF SET
TLEM ENT.

The Nashville Banner is one OF
the newspapers in Tennessee that
for some time past has occupied I'M
comfortable position on the fence.
1t is not square, out-and>out re-
pudiation sheet, neither does it
come up to the standard Of state
credit champion. At heart we be-
lieve its editors are state credit men,
but they are in state of constant
alarm, lest the unity of the demo
cratic organization should be dis,
turbed. Their devotion to demos
cratic harmony, coupled with the
fact that they are troubled with a
conscience, makes them miserable
and uncertain as to what they
should do and say. But as time
passes on, love for the democratic
party appears to outweigh their
sense of duty as regards
the state debt, and at last
they come out as Gov. Marks
did on one occasion, and favor a
postpOnement Of the day of settles
ment. La late issue the Banner
observes eve have ample time
to settle the terms of our state debt.
No one is in a hurry about it. The
bonds are worth so much in the
market, and answer the purpose of
the broker just as well as if they
we're worth twice as much. We
have five, ten years. if necessary,
to arrange it." And more of the
same sort. That style of reasoning
Knoxville daily chronicle. [volume] (Knoxville, Tenn.) 1870-1882, 1880-03-26
nay satisfy the minds of the Banner

may satisfy the minds of the Banner
men, but no state credit man, who
is at all alive to the Importance OF
the issue will be able to quiet his
conscience with any such sophistry.
For ten years there have been
men to tell us there was eno hurry
about the settlement of the state
debt, and in all that time we have
been going down in the scale of
honest public opinion We
have suffered in reputa-
ton and have suffered fnan-
cially by such postponement'
The debt has increased and our
credit as a state has decreased.
Noisy demagogues have made use
of the situation to poison the minds
of the ignorant and the depraved,
and we have gone on from bad to
worse, until an honest Tennesseean
can not think of the situation with
out blushing.
And what do we care about the
purposes of the broker" as men
toned by the Banner. We care
nothing for the purposes of the
broker. IF none were concerned
but brokers, we would be willing to
postpone a settlement indefinitely.
1t is not the purposes of the
broker" that makes a settlement
important, either now or in the
future. 1t is the honor and good
name of the people and the perma>
nent prosperity of the state that
state credit men have at heart; and,
that being true, no sincere state
credit man will, for one moment,
consider the postponement Of a
settlement, from motives of mere
party policy.
Knoxville daily chronicle. [volume] (Knoxville, Tenn.) 1870-1882, 1880-03-26

WE have received from Hon. Jor-
dan Stokes, of Lebanon, Tennessee,
a pamphlet of one hundred pages,
of which he is the author, and in
which the state debt Of Tennessee
is considered in its legal aspect. 1t
is a calm, dispassionate and argu-
mentative presentation of this vexed
question by one of the ablest laws
yers in the state. The high repu>
tation of the author, as man and
as lawyer, should secure for his
work a perusal. In writing this
book, Mr.. Stokes has performed a
work creditable to himself, and has
done his state substantial service.
Every man who desires to thoroughly
understand this question Of the state
debt should read what Mr.. Stokes
has said.
Knoxville daily chronicle. [volume] (Knoxville, Tenn.) 1870-1882, 1880-03-26

The democrats of the house OF
representatives are hesitating as to
whether they will steal Washburn's
seat or not. They are afraid it will
not pay. IF the presidential e'ec.
ton were past, there would be no
hesitation. They do not mind the
steal, but it is the dread of what
will come after it is contaminated,
when they are before the bar Of
public opinion, asking for further
lease of power, that gives them
pause, and makes them bear the ills
of republican in the seat to which
the people have elected him, rather
than trust to others they know not
of. They may act on this matter
during the present session, but we
have no idea that they will. 1t is
wicked conspiracy to unseat a
member of the house whose title is
as free from doubt as any one of
his colleagues from any state, and
while the majority have the dispo-
sition to commit the atrocity, they
are restrained from doing so by
their fears.
