SOUTHERN GLEANINGS.
Tennessee State Credit Democracy.

Tennessee State Credit Democracy.
The convention of State Credit Demo
Gratis at Nashville, Tenn, July II, adopted
the following platform and nominated j.
H. Russell for Governor:
We. the Democratic party of Tennessee in
convention assembled, do declare:
l. That we are unalterably opposed to the
reputation of any of our State or national
obligations and are in favor of maint aiming
inviOlate the public faith.
2 That we recognize the recent settlement
of the state debt made by the present Leg
islature rs i'll accordance with the platform
of the Democratic party of 1880 both State
and national and as just and honorable both
to the people and the creditors of the State.
and declare that it should not be disturbed
or readjusted.
J. That We are opposed to all class legl~a-
ton and partial laws, and to al. laws the ten
dency of which is to impair the obligation of
contracts.
4. We are i'll favor of a liberal system OF
public schools, so that every child in Tenn"s-
see may have Il good common school educa-
ton, and recognizing the good effects of what
IS known as the four mile law, by which tue
number of schools has been increased and
crime and vice diminished, we are opposed t.
its repeal.
s. We favor policy that will compel rail
road corporations as well as all other corpo-
rations and individuals in the State of Ten
nessee to bear their equal part OF the burden
of taxation.
6. We favor the establishment of a railroad
commission to reg late freights and tariffs
as to prevent unequal discrimination, with
such powers as shall protect the rights of both
the people and the railroads.
l. We are opposed to constitutional con
vention at this time, believing that til" neceS
stiles for such convention do not justify the
danger of opening the organic law to amend
ment in these times of unsettled political
opinion.
5. We arraign the Republican party for its
reckless extravaganza with public funds. the
OF favored few
disregard OF the organic and fundamental
law OF the land. as set forth in the Constitr-
ton, and for it's growing and increasing adj
vance to centraliz ttion; for its system of pro-
lection to the strong corporation, thereby i'm
posing additional burdens upon laborer pro.
