NEW YoRK, Nov. 49, 3l5 D. m.-The fact that there
was no weakness nj the opening Of business started
buying movement on the part OF the shorts and for

mored, however, that the Central National Bank of
Boston was In trouble and later It was said that the
bank examiner had advised them to close their doors
pending nm examination This had depressing I'M

that the bank mentioned would be carried through

THE STATE nERT.

The Knoxville Chronicle (repu5li-
can), in the course Of long article,
says:
All other questions that will come
before the present legislature dwindle
into insignifcance when compared
with the question as to how the debt
of the state shall be settled. The duty
of republican members is plain. They
have simply to adhere to the platform
upon which they and Governor Hawk
ins were elected. There must be no
dallying, no Sinking, no coquetting
or trading at the expense Of principle.
The democratic party has controlled
this state for ten years, and its finan-
ciaI condition has been growing worse
during all that time. That party, with
abundant opportunit es, has developed
no leadership, except that of dema
gogical sort. 1t has shown itself ut
terly incapable and unequal to the
exigency The long suffering honesty
of the state has begun to grow restive
Nader its mismanagement and tired Of
its i.ncapacity.
Shocld the republican party fail in
its dutv concerning this question, it
will forfeit that confidence which it
has SO Justly ins eired, and lose its op-
portunity for the accomplishment Of
good in Tennessee fn years to come.
But the republican party will not
fail.
AS the high credit democrats and
the republicans are pledged to ihe
same thing. we cannot see what ex-
cuse they could give for not settling
the state debt. The twenty-five OF
twenty-seven low tax democrats could
not prevent it if they would, and it is
not likely that they will try to impede
that, which seems inevitable.

We have been able to make only rapid peru
sal of the "Open Letter. which Gov. Hamilton
has thought proper to address to Messrs. Gin q
Co. on the subject Of democratic mismanagement
in this State, but we have found out enough to
satisfy us that ophesying is notone of our strong
points, and that we were wide Of the mark in the
prediction made by us last week, that the prom
ised ''bomb" of His Excellency, whatever else it
might turn out to be, would hotprove IAN attack
on his own party or contain any comfort for the
republicans of Maryland" Unhappily, this Is
what IL does prove and doescontain, and the plain,
logical inference from II Is, that as the democrat
ic party has been weighed in the balance and
found wanting, some other instrumentality ought
TO be invoked to restore to Us the blessings Of hon
est government And whatever the intention Of
the letter. the effect will be- to embarrass the demo-
cratic party In the struggle for control in the mex;
legislature and TO embolden the republicans to
claim, with strong show Of reason, that they are
the fellows who ought to be employed to restore
things. Gov. Hamilton has made mistake in
arraigning his party in the manner he has, but
as the fairer course would be to suspend criticism
for the present and allow the Governor to speak
for himself we shall say no more here and pub
lish the "open Letter in our next.
