THE NOMINEES.

Gen. John '. Wright, the nomio
nee of the state credit wing of the
democratic party for governor, is a
resident of Columbia. He was
born in McNairy county, in this
state. He started out in life as a
physician, but afterwards read law,
and became very successful in his
profession. He served three terms
in the United States congress, hav-
ing been elected the first time
before he was twenty-five years old,
He was colonel of q confederate
regiment and afterwards, We believe,
brigadier general, and was wound
ed in an engagement at Belmont,
Missouri. While in the army he
was elected to the confederate CON
gress.
At the close Of the war he re-.
stunned the practice of law at
Columbia. He is a vigorous and
popular stump4speaker and a gem
tleman of high social position. We
do not remember to have seen any
utterances of his on the state debt
question, but our information is that
he is sound state credit man.
Mr.. Wilson, the nominee, of the
reputation wing, resides i'll Sumner
county, and is a practicing lawyer.
He was a senator in the last legisla
ture, and a leading Glow tax man,
He is man of considerable ability,
and, with those who know him best,
enjoys an unsullied reputation as a
man. He is doubtless the ablest
man in the reputation ranks, and,
if he accepts the nomination, will
make vigorous canvass. He has
studied, to good purpose, how to

NAsTAND HARPER S WEEKLY,

Some of our democratic exchanges
have been congratulating themselves
upon. and taking consolation from,
story to the effect that Thos.
Mast, the political artist, had had q
rupture with George VIM. Curtis,
editor of Harper's Weekly, and that
he had retired from that journal.
They have long felt the power Of
Nast's cartoons and he has given
them no little annoyance. They
remember his crushing exposition of
Boss Tweed and his associates, how
he wilted Gratz Brown beyond com
parison, by having him figure as a
tag tied on to the white coat of
Horace Greedy and his late terrible
Characterization of Tilden as an old
mummy covered over with dollar
marks and cipher dispatches.
No wonder they look upon him
with some degree of terror, and no
wonder they hear of his retirement
with great pleasure.
But their season of pleasure must
have been a short one. The last
number of Harper's Weekly has
three of Nast's most powerful car
toons. One represents Hancock
with a lions body, and English
head adjoining the end of the tail
"a tail praising its head is the
title. No, Mast has not retired, and
our dem ocratic friends will have the
pleasure of looking at his cartoons
during the present campaign.

to-the legislature in the interest Of
harmony; and if the democratic
members of the next legislature pur-
sue the policy marked out by the
state credit men, then two years from
now We may trust them. But it is
safer now to vote for a candidate,
with a party that has been in favor
Of state credit all the time.

AN HONEST CONFESSION.

The Nashville American and
other leading state credit democrats
ic papers are now making an honest,
though tardy confession touching
the platform adopted by Tennessee
democracy two years ago.
The "demagogue plank" is
what they style the clause then
adopted with such unanimity, pro-
viding that whatever settlement of
the state debt might be agreed upon,
it should first be submitted to the
people for their ratification at the
ballot-box. We knew then and
every one else who took the trouble
to think a moment knew that it was
the dodge Of q demagogue. We
said so plainly, and few democrats
had the courage to say SO, but they
generally walked up to the polls
and voted for Judge Marks, its
author, nevertheless.
We congratulate our democratic
friends, those of them who oppose
reputation, upon their courage
now, in denouncing what they
winked at then. We congratulate
them upon their strength in
their state convention even il
that strength was augmented
by a liberal distribution
Of free tickets over the railroads
We congratulate them upon THEN
bold utterances in favor of state
credit, especially upon the high
ground taken by our own toWnsman
Capt. George Washington, the tenn
porary chairman of the convention
and Col. Tillman, permanent chair
man. Barring the fap-doodl'
about the "pirate flag of republi
canism" and a little other foolish
ness he thought necessary to in
dulge in, he made a good speech
and We are glad of it
1t Is so good that we publish
it entire elsewhe ere. There ar,
many things upon which to con
graduate our democratic state credi
friends. At this writing, they hav,
not. taken final action, but we arr
encouraged to believe that they vii
take a long step forward, and d,
much to redeem them from the dis
graceful attitude in which they stoo'
two years ago.
But with all this, we think it bes
to support and elect judge Hawkin
as our governor. He is true to tn
honor and credit of the state, ant
has never faltered. He is soun'
now, and always has been. It wa
never thought necessary to resort f
outside appliances in order to get
full convention of state credit re
publicans in order to nominate him
That the republican state convention
would take high grounds in favor o
state credit was looked upon as
matter of course. As party,
has never wayered or offered t.
compromise with the repudiationists
If our democratic friends go o,
now, behave themselves like goot
state credit men, see to it that re
! pudiation democrats are not electet
