guage AS given in the complaint. In
the second case the language was ad-
mitted. kearney's counsel moved his
dismissal on the ground that the
language did not tend to create breach

D. We recognize n disposition upon
the part Of the creditors Of the State, in
view of the great losses cntailed by the
late war, the great depression of bust
ness, and the general shrinkage in val
ues, to make liberal reduction In both
the principal and interest of Our bonded
Indebtedness, and we declare that We
favor prompt settlement by the Legis-
lature with our creditors upon the best
terms that can be agreed upon rs a result
Of negotiation.
The COURIER copies the above from
Judge Nright's platform and says 'ne-
gotiation does not mean voluntary sub
mission to the terms of the bondholder,
but taking into consideration the equi-
ties in the case and the ability to pay"
Now we respectfully submit it means
nothing of the sort, but that it does
mean the best terms the bondholders are
willing to concede. AND if it means
anything at all, ii means to stop the
present starvation, or forcible readiust-
ment policy, by which Tennessee pays
nothing until the creditors agree to take
a fraction Of their interest in preference
TO none at all. II means to stop force
starvation and rely OH the magnanimity
Of the creditors. In Va. that has been
shown to be 6 per cent. and ra2or-edged
coupons. Judge Wright's friends are
fond Of saying they are for so and A.
Then why did they not put this plank
in their platform instead of the above
stuff? That would have meant plain
sailing and not plain trimming.

The People Almost Unanimous
for the July Ticket and
Enlknrrnn
Fulkerson.

Last Tuesday Senator Juo. w. John
ston, Judge j. p. Kelly and Mai. r. Il.
Henry met Judge Kilgore and Messrs.
Bailey and Fowler at Lebanon. Sena-
tor Johnston led and was followed by ID.
+. Bailey, each taking one hour. Judge
Kelly was followed by Judge Kilgorc
and Maj. Henry WAS followed by Mr..
Fowler. The entire discussion consum-
cd between five and six hours, begin
ming at noon. Senator Johnston made
speech, which If there had been no
July and May tickets in the field would
have been good one, Of course, as he is
very able man. But as he almost en-
tircly ignored the point at issue he left
Bailey fine opportunity which that
gentleman used with terrible effect.
During his speech the Russell boys SEEM
ed to think they were elccting the July
ticket by reclamation. Such thunders
of applause NJ greeted the Rcadjuster
speakers are not often heard in :. W.
Va. Tho Senator sld the difference be-
tween the amounts proposed to be paid
the bondholders by the Funders aud Re-
adjusters amounted to mere trife,
say 22c per capita, and asked Dir.
Fowler to make the calculation,
This was accordingly done rs follows;
Russell county has 1900 people. This
would make to them n difference OF
$3,OS0 dollars per year, or for the period
Of the McCulloch bill $4,000. He said
the Internal revenue system, by the tax
on tobacco, WAS taxing Va. eight mil
lions Of dollars per year, and this
amount completely oyershadowed the
State debt. Now this Is 30 completely
fallacious that We need only say that II
this, like the tax for the debt went out
Of Virginia never to return,
Virginia could not stand II at all.
Liedt. Gov. Dorsheimcr, OF n. Y, In n
speech, the ablest We have read, made n
week ago ut the Brooklyn Academy Of
music, closed up this argument Of the
Senator In these words:
"Our Internal revenue II leveled chief
" upon tobacco and distilled spirits and
" collected where those commodities are
produced, but the tax Is finally paid by
those who use the tobacco and drink the
spirits, and therefore do not doubt that
the Democratic State of New York and
even Republican Massachusetts makes
n full contribution to the public reYc-
nue."
Judge Kelley was very mournful over
the conduct Of the ReadJusers, and
seemed TO think their course threatened
the safety of the French Republic
Judge Kilgore made II telling speech and
WAS roundly applauded. Maj Henry
made really the most efficient and peril.
