THE aETFLE1ESF OF TIE
STATE DEBT A aERFAINIY.

There are persons who profess to
believe that the republicans elected
to the Tennessee legislature will not
be anxious to settle the state debt
question. We believe there is no
foundation for any such a surmlse.
We are satisfied that if the debt is
not settled within the next two
years, it will be no fault of the re-
publicans. Many of them have
been chosen to the legislature be-
cause it was believed they would
take high grounds in favor of main"
tanning the public credit. The DEM
ocratic party in Tennessee has
grown weak and suffered defeat, be-
cause its leaders could not be trusted
on this question. Many of them
favored the reputation of large
proportion of it, while others dis
played only cowardice or hypocricy
in dealing with it. + E1#1 &
The republicans can not afford to
daily with it. It would result in
the ruin Of the party. We have
professed through our party plat
forms and otherwise that we are IN
favor of an honorable settlement OF
the state debt. We either meant
what We said or we did not. Ii we
did, there is but one thing for US to
do, and that is, to do all We can to
bring about the desired result. If
we did not mean what We said, We
are no more to be trusted than those
who have been deceiving the people
before. But We have no fears of
this. We do not know the details
of the plan that will be agreed upon,
but if some plan is not agreed upon
it will not be the fault of republi
cans. Whatever plan is adopted
there must be no ambiguity
about it. It must bear the impress
of honesty upon it's face. We do
not believe any plan will satlsfac
tory which does not provide that the
coupons shall be receivable for taxes
We do not see what exception any
state credit man can take to such 8
feature in the settlement. IF ou1
} creditors relinquish part of theil
claims they will want some sort Q

: interest promptly on the balance

which proved worse than useless. As to what

doubts in twenty-four hours. | used bottle
