upon the rights of what they assume to

opponents Of IIouk at Maryville, num-
bering in their ranks some Of the best

county, have forced his managers to
put themselves upon record. The peo-

Into which class do you fall, Mr..

If the above question is put for
the purpose of learning how to
shape a "proposition," we reply
that our rates for inserting, as a
purely business matter, the words
VOTE FOR RULE" will be
considerably higher than the rates
charged for the insertion of VOTE
FOR WATKINS !" If it is in
tended as an "insinuation," we can
well afford to smile a smole, as an
UNDERBID has been received from
one Of the political friends Of the
editor Of the Watchman. Per-
haps the editor will inform us how
it was with himself, when he sup
ported Houk! Did he rule you
with a goad in your rear?

The editor of the Watchman has
withdrawn from the race for Rep
rescntative. He now enters the
political arena as a Great Reform
er! 1t is true he is only a "con-
script" Che says he was "pressed"
into this war;, but he "will fight
with zeal" and, of course, will be
entitled to all the bounties, pen
sions and perquisitcs allowed the
regular soldiers. We are not in
formed whether it is Sam. Tildcn's
mantle that has fallen upon the
shoulders of our editorial friend
or one of a moro modern pattern /;
we think it advisable, however, to
remind our friend of the fate Of the
Great and Only Original Rcformcr.
It may be that our editorial friend
was just a lec-tlc sort o stalwart
himself about that time. AS long
as it is only the Democratic OK be-
ing gorcd, he can not see wrong;
but let the enragcd animal break in
to his china-shop, and the OK must
be slaughtered! WHEy(?) our
new Reformcr squclches the stall
warts Of his party, from Houk to
President Arthur, we guarantee
him a long and loud round of ap-
plause from q grateful and adj
miring Democracy!

REPUBLICAN CONVENTION.

Pursuant to the call of the Chair
man of the Republican Executive
Committee of Blount county, the Re-
publicans of Bloumt assembled at the

m.,. Saturday, August 18th, 1882, for
the purpose of selecting delegates to
attend the Congressional and Senate
rial Conventions, and for the trans
action ofsuch other business as might
be deemed proper.
Hon. Jas. f. Bcals, Chairman pro
tenn. Of the Executive Committee,
called the Convention to order, an
nouncing that as The courtroom was
too small to contain The large crowd
assembled, he would entertain a mo-
ton to repair to the grounds in the
rear of the Masonic Institute building,
whereupon motion to that effect was
offered and prevailed, and the Con-
venion rc-assembled at the place
above mentioned,
On motion of f. D. Fulkerson, w.
G. Chumlea was nominated as Chair
man of the Convention.
On motion of r. z. McReynolds,
w. j. Hackney was placed in nomi-
nation, in lieu of the first motion.
1t was decided by the Chairman of
the Executive Committee, Mr., Beals,
that the Convention would vote
by a division Of the delegates.
The vote was then taken Oh the mo-
ton in lieu, which was lost by an over
whelming majority.
The first nomination was then car
ried by the same vote, and VIC
Chumlea made,Chairman ofthe Con-
vcntion. John L. Elms was elected
Secretary.
Jas. A. Goddard offered a resolution
asking that the Rule faction be allow
ed delegation in proportion to their
voting strength, which was, on mo-
ton, 'laid on the table" by the same
aforementioned overwhelming ma
jority.
At this juncturc the Rule men,
about rs in number, withdrew from
the Convention and organized "bol-
ter's" convention few yards dis
tant, the Houk men, about 700 i'll
number, remaining in the regular
Republican Convention, which now
proceeded to transact business with
celcrity and unanimity.
On motion of M. L. Mcconnell, a
committee of five were appointed to
select list of delegates TO attend the
Senatorial Convention, yet to be call
ed.
The committee reported the follow
ing delegation, which was adopted:
w. II. Best, Jno. McNabb, M. B.

The honest and respectable men
who were at Maryville last Satur-
day and favored Judge Houk for
Congress will be surprised to learn
that the Rule organs characterize
them as q lot of worthless and
mercenary wrctchcs, the paid tools
of a "beast" known to the organs
as q. C. houk." Now, we think the
Republicans of Blount county have
a right express their preferences
for either Rule or Houk, and none
should be stigmatized as "dirty
dogs" corrupt scoundrels," paid
TOOLS" etc. 1t is plain to any one,
even the most Jealous friend of
Mr.. Rule, that an overwhelming
majority of the Republicans of
Blount county are for Judge Houk,
To accuse and denouncc such a
large number Of our citizens as
dishonest and tnprinciplcd is not
only unjust to them but calculated
to injure the whole county. Such
wholesale and umcallcd for abuse
should not be indulgcd in by either
faction. The following article we
take from the Knoxville Chronicle
as a case where passion and preju-
dice blinds reason and pcrverts
facts:
The spirit of the Houk faction was
clearly demonstrated at Maryville last
Saturday. A resolution was offered to
the effect that in the appointment Of
delegates, each candidate should be ac-
corded his strength on the basis of those
present attending the convention. This
was arbitrarily tabled by the Houkites,
They claim that large majority Of
those present were for Houk, nine
tcnths some of them say, and yet they
declined to even respectfully consider
so fair Il proposition. The same sort Of
n proposition was made at SGviervilc
aud Wartburg and spurned. While
they claim to he largely in the maiori-
ty, they are afraid Of what they call the
small minority. And yet they pretend
TO want fair convention. What they
mean by fair convention is to bull
doze everybody into llouk's support.

a settled fact that YOUR party will
do this thing again, this year, even

for Congress would not vote for such a

Why, then, did YOU vote for
Houk at the previous elections,
when you knew him just as well
then as you now do? What con-
sistcncy is there in preaching po-
litical Christianity now, in an "off-
year." and then "votc for anybody
and any thing to beat the Demo-
Gratis" when "the eyes Of the Ma
tional Republican Party are on

in 1884 it will be "Phillip sober,

Here's a conundrum we can't crack:
How can Christians, who are COM
manded not to keep company with a
drunkard q Cor. v.:lD, roll in the
same political bed with !. c, houk and
seem to enjoy it so much? Have loaves
and fishes anything to do with it?-
Watchman.
As L. C. Houk and the editor Of
the Watchman are "honorCd and
usful members" Of the same politi-
cal organization, and as the aforc-
said editor has (unless a "traitor
to his party") supported Houk for
two terms in Congress, and has
thus rolled i'll the same political
bed with him for the past ten or
fifteen years, and until this late
day seemed to enjoy it, the editor
ought to be able to answer that
conumdrum himself. AS Houk
always gets all the Republican
votes, "from the rivers to the sea-"
what is the editors opinion of the
party (himself included) that has
supported "such a man?" Con-
tinue to expose the "truc inward
ness" of your party, Major; it
won't hurt the Democracy, but you
will find it to be a lonesome" busi-
