fbc 9HsiTJsctioE,.
To the Editors Of the Appeal:
l am glad TO see that in the matter OF the
candidacy OF Miss Augusta Tovell Tor the
place of superintendent Of the Memphis city
schools, The papers take high ground, max
ing 1t a question of competency aud worth
alone, and not one of sex. The writer has
scarcely a personal acquaintance with this
lady, but the movement is one in the right
direction. Our educated ladies are our best
educators. They are seldom yenal in mo-
tive, or Indifferent TO duty. Many of the
very best institutions OF learniug-semina-
ries and colleges of high grade-are under
the successful management Of ladies alone,
showing that women have executive ability,
as we'll as capacity for mere d~rudgery. One
of the very best school officers OF the whole
country was Miss Brown. superintendent of
schools for the State of Ksnsas. She organ
lied and superintendent the conduct OF
schools in thst State in a manner
To elicit the apprabAt!ea-e eA-pertfrs.- 1t
was q noticeable fact that two-thirds OF the
ladies, and the same proportion of zeal and
interest in the work Was also on their side.
1t is about the same way IN the University
Normal at Knoxville, where Miss Tovell is
now at work. As a general thing orr lady
educators are remarkably faithful and CON
scientious, never failing to appreciate the
delicacy OF their responsibilities, and ALWAYS
exercising q pure and good influence over
the minds of the young committed TO their
charge. From what is known of Miss
TovelFs work az a teacher, and the position
she holds with educated people, there can be
no question of her qualifications, and would
not the city do a handsome thing, and at the
same time Itself a credit, by placing her in
the position oil superintendent OF il schools?

The Co.'S Hen Sat Down Upon.
Erin Rnrinm

The truth Of the matter is that the repu-
diation wing OF the party, by a series OF oua-
ming and we'll planned strategic m~aneuvers,
succeeded in capturing the convention, and,
uniting with the Readjusters, are 10Y directing
their efforts toward beating the settlement, as
they would to beat any settlement they could
that was not in accord with their extreme
low-tax Reputation views. The convention
blindly aud recklessly ignored and sat down
upon men in favor of the settlement, and
have not hesitated to place a most estimable
gentleman for the sake of party success on a
platform that they Know is at war with all
the antecedents and previous platforms of
the Democratic party, which therefore canpot
be sustained before the people, and cannot
even command the support OF those OF their
own party who think Democracy means
something, and cannot sacrifice their princi-
pies on a platform that we think involves a
total abandonment OF a fundamental, time
honored Democratic priuciple-opposiiion to
Reputation in every shape and form.

Stands by the Organisation.


There is but one course Tor a Democrat 10
lake, in our opinion, in the present canvass.
The Citizen has Tic hesitation in declaring
which party is the Democracy, in its opinion,
aud it has never yet'fsltered 10 its allegiance
to that party. Two years ego Democrats
bolted from one end of the party, and now
they bolt from the other end. We espoused
the cause of the faction then which we con-
ceived to be the party, end We shall do the
same now let them bolt TO the right or LEFT.
We recognizes the fact that there is no sue
cess possible without organization, and we
believe it to be the first duty OF the hour to
secure a united party, and the next 10 purify
its policies inside its pale. We would not
be sincere were we to say that the settlement
meets our views, but We entered this canvass
as . Democrat and we propose to accord TO
others wisdom aud honesty of purpose, and
while We do not adopt The conclusion as re-
fleeing our belief in full, we accept it as the
utterance OF the Democratic party, and shall
labor to secure the election of General Bate
as governor OF Tennessee.

Low-tax and Greenback friends, we are will
ing to secede and accept. There is nothing
like having the marshal notes Of the hsr-
monicum roll out evenly and generously.
The nomination of General Bate meets our
unqualified appreciation. The more We
think OF il the better We like it. 1t has not
caused a single detection in our county. We
are all rsllying TO his standard like the
Scottish highlander to the shriIl and savage
sound of the pibroch. With visors down,
lsnces in rest, cuirasses on thighs, our COL
unln is fast becoming as solid and impreg-
nable az the Macedonian phalanI. The IN
holy alliance Of Hawkins, Butler, Bailey,
Bea-ley and the Bonner will be swept away
like breath before the wind. Bets are freely
made that he will lead the headmost man
against MIN 10000 votes in the State. Some
are not content with so email an estimate,
and claim 10000 majority. But the former
viii be sufficient for practical purposes,
and il Is better to be on the safe side.

Did Not Make but Will Support Both
the Candidate and the Platform.

We place at The head OF our columns this
week the name OF General W. B. Bate, the
Democratic nominee for governor. This we
do after mature deliberation, in which we
have considered every phase of the question.
General Bate was not our choice for gov
ernor, neither would we have made a plat
form for our man such as was made, but the
result OF both is the action of q large major
ity Of the conventions, and wo cannot with
any degree of assurance put ourselves up as
a standard against the will and wish of 80
large a majority of good citizens, such as we
claim to be, and say, you are all wrong, /
am right. Following out the rule that ma
j@orities shall govern, the Waig yields, and
will aid all it can in promoting the will of
the people as ex expressed in the convention.
AT the same time the paper will wage no
unnecessary or unjust warfare upon It's
friends who. looking at the matter differ
emily. are pursuing opposite courses. We
only regret that they are so blinded "a TO be
unable to see they annot accomplish that
which they desire.

Since returning from Nashville we have

ability, worth and honesty Of purpose of the
gentleman heading the movements; but, with
all respect, we are constrained to the belief
that the nomination Of another Democratic
candidate for governor will result az sug-
gested above, leaving the party in a worse
condition than ever, and too badly democrat
lied TO rally Tor a successful contest Ia 1884.

Very Enthusiastic for Bate.


1t is with unusual pleasure and proud sat
isfaction that we to-day place the name Of
General w. B. Bate at the head of our
columns az the Democratic candidate for
governor OF the old Volunteer State. He
has done more for the patty and received
less from il than amy msn IN the State. An
eloquent orator, i ready, able and fearless
debatec-a statesman, scholar and Foldier-

was nominated by decidedly the largest and
most enthusiastic convention ever held in
Nashville. The people were there in force
from the farm and the Workshop, and their
voice was heard az never before since the
war, and they asserted their independence Of
the politicians who have heretofore made
them say what they didn't want to. His
speech Of acceptance attested the hold that
W. L. Bate has on the hearts and affections

upon the people OF every portion OF the

Boiling Cannot Be Justified.

Ii the boilers nominate a man-aud it is
probable they will-there Is hardly a doubt
OF the reelection of Hawkins. Certainly
they have as much right to put forth a man
as did the boilers of 1880, but the question
is the e1pediency OF such action. As for the
matter of a right 10 bolt, no party or fac
tion has that right. What is the use OF
conventions ii every man is to go off after
his own individual ideas upon any and
every question? We cannot give our consent
to affiliate with boilers. We we're not at all in
sympathy with the boilers of 1880, and bit
terly condemned the movement. We sincerely
hope the boilers of the recent convention
will not nominate another man for governor
against Geners Bate, for we have a kindly
feeling and great respect for the men and
their views, and would dislike 10 see
them commit such an egregious error.
They would do the party a great injury and

the platform adopted by the Democratic con-
%vention which assembled in Nashville, June
10th. We desire to state that we heartily in
dorse both the platform and the nominee OF
the party, General W. b. Bate. The plat
form recognizes the validity and legality Of
what Is known "a the State debt proper"
and recommends its payment in full. On the
railroad bonded debt fifty cents on the dollar
is to be paid, with interest at three per cent.
Under all the circumstances we regard the
proposed settlement as equitable and fair, and
its adoption by so large a majority of the
members present will 60 far toward recon-
Cling true Democrats in the situation. We
bespeak for the platform a careful and dis
passionate perusal. believing that it will be
generally acceptable to the Democracy.

Fifty-snd-three, with a full payment Of
the State debt proper, is almost equivalent
10 fifty-and-four of the whole debt. It is
therefore virtually the settlement for which
the State credit Democracy hava formerly
contended, and it is certainly the basis on
which the Falcon has always stood. When
the 6fty-and-four proposition was submitted
to the people the State-credit Democracy
urged its acceptance, and since the bond
holders have once agreed to these figures it
was not supposed that any higher settlement
would ever be made. We can safely say
that more than two-thirds OF Wright's sup
porters expected such a settlement in the
event of his election. On this account we
are not able to understand what so discom-
forted the boilers in the late Nashville con-
v~entiou. We consider that we support Bate
on the same platform that we supported
Wright, the only difference being that in The
former case the terms OF settlement we're
tacitly expressed, and in the latter they are
imulied
