Hon. William R. Moore is reported as
saying that the State-credit Democrats of
Tennessee have made proposition to
stand in with the Republican party and
aid them in carrying the State. All they
ask, he says, is decent treatment. They do
not ask anything else. Of course not;
none Of them would take an office. Some
of the Democrats would not have very far
to go, for they have abandoned their last
platform aud gone over to the Republicans
or the debt question. 1t was different in
Virginia, The Republicans in that State
went over to the Readjusters, or low.tax
Democrats, and the coalition was success
full. If what is attributed to Colonel Moore
was said, it means something more than
the temporary allince on the debt aues-
tion We do not for moment believe
that the Democratic masses whovoted for
Judge Wright at the last election can be
delivered to- the Republican party, but
that there are selfish, would-be leaders
ripe for such a scheme we have less doubt.
When the debt question is out of the
way, which it will be some
time, the Republicans will count
without their hoast and false Demo-
cratic leaders will plunge suddenly into
the welcome shades of private life. Col
onel Moore is mistaken when he says
Tennessee is naturally Republican State.
If that were so it would never have passed
from under control Of the Repub-
lican party. If that were
so Garfield would have carried
the State and not Hancock. His acci-
dency our distinguished representative is
entirely too sanguine. He will find next
time that it viii keep him busy to carry
his own district without running the
whole State and South. Tennessee is
neither Republican or Bourbon, as the
phrase goes. 1t is, though, one of the
most liberal Democratic States in
the whole country, and but for an unfor-
tunate, foolish and useless division on the
debt question, there would be no chance
far the Republicans to carry the State for
many years to come.

THE complainants in the injunction suit
numbers altogether about thirty, of these
twenty-five are citizens of Shelby county,
the most of them leading merchants and
large tax payers. 1t is charged directly by
the Nashville American that the suit was
brought for the purpose of spec'i
ulating in bonds. This is
very serious charge to make against
gentlemen of as high standing as any
in the State, and it now rests with the
American to furnish the proof, if it has
any. 1t will not sustain the assertion to
say that Mr.. McGavock, State credit
man, sought to obtain early information
so as to make money out of the move
ment. The complainants, we undertake
to say, knew nothing of the speculative
designs of Mr.. McGavock or any one else
The Shelby county complainants felt that
great wrong had been committed, and
sought in the courts as tax payers, inter
ested only as such to prevent the execu-
ton of the act. For this. and without one
line Of proof that we have seen, they are in
directly denounced day after day as a sci of
spectators who expected to profit by the
effect the suit would have on the price of
bonds. 1t was not possible that they
could prevent outsiders from dealing in
bonds any more than in wheat, cotton,
pork, or government securities. The men
who brought this suit, as far as we know
them, are not of tho stamp to go into a
disreputable scheme for money making,
or to go into it blindly for the benefit of
others.

The balance is to be paid in ten
