NAsuyrLLE, August f5.- Governor John
v. Wright, with whom your correspondents
has had an interesting interview, Is hand'
some man OF some fitty-two years OF age o
blonde with fine blue-gray eye, rot,ind at
most 10 corpulency, looking more IKE the
traditional alderman than Governor; q
native of McNsiry couaty. but now ana
for long time practicing attorney o.!
Maury county, full OF humor and wit, OF
deep legal learning, and the very perfecuon
of man Of the people.
"Wbat are your plans for the future a.
regards the canva>sso said /.
II shall begin 10 canvass actively so soon
as the committee agrees on list oil appoint
ments. shat, go TO every portion OF the
State can and address the people. snalI
make no personal war on any OF my oppo.
nents. shall treat them with respect ana
kindness persouallys and no doubt they VIII
do me likewise. The public records OF US
all are open for inspection and discussion:
shall endeavor to convince the people OF
all parties that
GOOD FAITH
il quite AZ important in States and govern
ments as 1t Is with individuals. IL the State
Ia really unable to pay all she justly owes,
she should pay what she can. and this with
States AS with individuals always gives
satisfaction. feel like 1 am able to make
a very thorough canvass, and want the
work 10 begin at opce. Let the people
know that the true issues are stripped OF
ali brush, and they will do what is right and
iust. This is my opinion Of them"
: "Wbat are The prospects OF success Tor
the State.credit Democracy"
81 think we shall have VAIN and ex-
citing contest. There are four candidates
in the field, each claiming to be the head oil
party-the Democratic party. the Boilers,
the Republican, and the Greenback. The
candidate OF The Greenback party is repu-
diator and the platform so declares. feel
no doubt
THE DEMOCRACY WILL WIN.
I found everything looking well on my trip
to Milan, and think that whatever little
disaffection exists will In due time come
out all right. ! think an active canvass re-
auired In order to show the people the great
necessity for settling the State debt and the
ruinous consequences OF reputation, and
think we shall win by large majority"
"Will The division in the Democratic
ranks endanger the success Of the party ~
81 don't think so. Democrats don't love
boting or boilers much. They love theiI
party, and believe it has saved them in the
past and is their hope in the future. Ii will
be very difficult TO get The people as mad as
the boiling members OF the Convention
were. The people are not generally Office
seekers. All they want Is good, sound,
honest,
PURE AND ECONOMICAL GOVERNMENT,
and the Democrats in this State are not
much on fl,iug the track. They quarrel
fjercely before the nomination is made, but
generally vote the straight-out ticket. This
is nv experience with Democrats, and the
same thing will happen again, IN my opin'
ion."
els there any hope OF the boilers recon
sidering their action and coming back TO the
ranks OF the true Democracy"
81 can't tell how this is. l wish they
would do so, especially OH account Of some
Young men they have among them. They
baye some young men who are men OF great
promise, and whose services will be needed
in the future, and my experience is that
when a Young man sets out by boiling be
generally keeps it up. When he has once
thrown of his allegiance 10 his party he
seems TO believe afterward that TO be the
hes. way TO carry his points, by
THREATENING TO BOLT.
II is like a horse who has baked once-he
/, bard TO cure of it. | wish they would all
reconsider their action and come along with
MS and help us fight the Republicans. After
November we won't need them so badly,
and they might not get back OH as easy
terms as they can now. Now is the time ;
and IL they cone for one shall welcome
them. | think know some OF them who
are sorry for what has happened"
"What is the outlook for the low-credit
faction ?"
every poor. I should say. can't see
what they can expect. The Democratic
party will have to settle the question. The
Republicans won't settle it II they can, and
can't do Il il they desire To. and so with the
Greenbackers. In fact, l think they both
want to keep the question open so as To
protract the quarrel among the Democrats,
Settle this question fairly. and neither the
Republican party nor the Greenback party
would have any more chance In Tennessee.
IF THE DEMOCRACY WILL GO FORWARD,
as they will. aud settle the question, we
shall soon hear no more Of Republcanism,
Greenbackers, and bOlters-all will share a
common fate. II the Republicans are really
in favor OF paying the whole debt, as they
say in their platform they are, the only result
which voting for Wilson and Edwards can
have is TO elect Hawkins, who is for paying
the whole debt. | can't see why Wilson
and Savage had rather see the debt paid by
the Republicans than by the Democrats. A
vote for Wilson or Edwards is, in my opin-
-. II L; .exh ,nt
he so Intended, and yet | feel pretty sure
there will not be enough OF that sort to en-
danger our ticket. But it is safest TO work.
"Can the Republicans secure sufficient
support by the division OF the Democracy
and the popularity OF their candidate to
elect himf"
81 have no idea they can, in view OF the
fact that we expect TO have perfect organ
izstion. Ii we are beaten it will not be fol
want OF work. The young men in the
Democratic party are taking a hand, and 9
strong one, too. They seem to realize the
fact that they have
NOTHING TO HOPE FOR
in reputation or anything that looks like it.
rely very confidently on young America
in the tight. Young America knows how tc
fight, and ia this contest | am sure they are
aroused, and will be more so. The Repub'
lican party will never control Tennessee
"Wbat kind OF strength will Edwards
the Greenback nominee for Governor
havef"
81 have not been about sufficiently Il
give definite answer to that. In my por
