barrels Of whiskey on board. The

steamer sank is dry land, and tue
forgotten wreck is buried forty feet
deep in the sand. The other day the
man who owns the place put down S

tendency to increase the demand for
it rapidly.

Boiling

Is not the way to get your par

your opponents to energetic ac-

their man. You can
not approve the action of the ma

to your way Of thinking. Coy,
Porter received $4,000 sotesin
1876. The Democratic platform
in 1878 was not satisfactory to
the party. We doubt whether a
bare majority Of the delegates
were satisfied with it, yet there
was no boiling and setting up
another candidate. Ninetythou-
sand Democrats did not vote for
the platform of 1878, for while
Porter in 876receiyed 1900
votes, Gov. Marks received not
quite $4,000 in 1878. If Marks
had been nominated in 1878 OH
the platform Of 1880, we would
would not now be wrangling
about $25,000,0O0 of indebted
ness; we would have only 10 OF
$12,000,000. Marks would have
been the nominee of the party
in 1880; there would now be no
excitement about the State cleo
ton, and with Hancock's cleo
ton secure, the people of Ten
nessee would be happier and
prouder than ever before since

Extract of Judge Wright's Speech
at McEwen's Station.
Nashville American

Mr.. Wright went into an ex-l
pIicit statement in explanation
as to how the State debt was
created and its history down
to the present time, and showed
by slforyible illustrations that q
debt which was accommodating at
a rate of 81, 100000 per annum,
ought speedily to be settled. He
had been told that almost the en-
tireRepublican strength Of West
Tennessee had voted against the
I50-4 proposition, that it might
continue to be distracting
question in the Democratic par.
ty, and that they might split that
party by getting the Democrar
cy to put two candidates into
the field, and through this means
weaken the line Of the National
Democracy. The debt could be
settled without oppression to any
one. If they would elect men Of
courage to the Legislature and
elect him Governor, he would
settle the debt without oppress-
ing any man. The poor man
would nos have to pay the debt.
If man owned $1,000 of per-
sonal property, that was exempt-
ed from taxation, while men Of
property desired to see the yex-
ed question settled that their
lands might increase in value
and become more III demand by
reason of such settlement. He
believed he could settle the debt
and only levy tax of 25 cents
on every 500 worth Of proper
ty. Every single Southern State
paid from A to 10d times more
tax than Tennessee did now.
The settlement of the debts
of Georgia and Alabama had
brought about universal pros
perity in those States, and the
settlement of our debt would
have the same effect here.
| The boilers in the Democratic
Convention had got mad and
went out of the Democratic par
ty after the most liberal terms
had been offered them. They
bolted because 100 men could
not control 1 800.
B He regretted to see so young,
such a handsome, talented man
as Wilson go off with the bolt
ers, because a glorious future
awaited him in the Democratic
party. The question had resoly-
ed itself down to the point
whether the Democrats would
elect a Governor or by division
in the ranks permit Hawkins to
come into the Gubernatorial
chair. He did not believe Will
son could be elected. Hawkins,
he had heard, had said he was
willing to pay $1.25 on the dol
lar. The speakerotook the mid=
die ground and that was always
the most conservative and safest
ground. The speaker was for a
compromise on the lowest posi-
BILE terms. He desired to see
Wilson and his followers come
back to the fold, take the Dem
ocratic flag in their hands and
fight with all other Democrats
OH to victory. He advised the
young men not to commence
life by following false political
principles, which might be swept
away in a day and leave them
no future. age $3.50

Some of the reputation papers
are charging that many delegates
to the Democratic State Conyen-
ton were induced to attend by
railroads which gave, them free
passes. As far as is known the
charge is antrae, but there is a
Circuit Judge Of Tennessee who
temporarily vacated the judicial
bench to make a bitter anti
Democratic speech, and he, we
are told, does travel on free
railroad pass. We will not at
this time discuss the propriety
of a Judge accepting a gratuity

The Constitutional Method.
T [McMinnville Standard.

To settle it by the Legislature
is the only constitutional method
of settling it. This is also the
only Democratic method of set
Ting it. To refer it to the peo-
pie for settlement by a direct
vote at the ballot box is unjust,
undemocratic and unconstitu-
tional and revolutionary, never
heard Of by any Wing or Dem
ocrat during the 81 years of our
existence as a state till Col. Jno.
H. Savage had been defeated for
about ten years in succession fol
the United State Senate and

/ of either in the regular line of
promotion in the party, he has
made this a hobby to appeal tc
the passions of the people and
thus secure his election. This

Tennesseeans are much dis
posed to complain of taxation.
When other subjects fail, that can
be relied on as a never-failing
topic, and all takers advocate a
reduction of assessments. An
opportunity is now presented to
save the State a large sum. Ev-
cry election held in Tennessee
costs S40,000to $4,000; this ex-
.pcnse can be easily avoided, and
the wishes of the people learned
and respected. Let every candi-
date for the Legislature be in
tcrrogated until he explains his
views OH the State debt, the peo-
pie will vote for the one whose
opinions agree with their own,
the members thus elected will
settle the subject as a LegisIG-
