ANOTHER MISTAKE.
Nashville World.


The Banner unctiously published
a Washington special yesterday
morning, with phenomenal head
line to the effect that Gen. Bate was
i'm Washington seeking campaign
funds A mere tyro would ut a
glance recognize the telegram as a
little off. The few persons who saw
it, doubtless viewed it rs a piece of
claptrap. The correspondent who
managed to lasso the Information is
evidently a bolter and deserves
promotion. If he meets Gen. Bate,
he will doubtless give us another to-
morrow morning, announcing that
the funds are en- route and that
the General told him to bring the
news straight to the Banner.
Not doubling the utter unreliable
ity of the telegram, the World tele-
graphed the Banners dispatch to
Gen. Bate, and received from him
the following answer
WAsHINGToN, .. c., July 13.-It
is false. / am getting up campaign
documents, not funds, and consult
ing Tennessee Democratic Congress
men as to our canvass; and find all
of them but Senator Jockson, 'red
hot for me-" WM. B. BATE.

THE PLATFORM AND THE
NOMINEE.
Bristol Reporter.


In defining the position of the
Reporter in regard to the platform
and nominee of the recent Demo
cratic Convention we feel like plac-
ing the editorial of THE MORRIS
Town GAZETTE, which we print
elsewhere, ut the head of this col
umn and simply saying "them 5
our sentiments Our readers are
well aware of the fact that the Re
porter has ever been State credit
paper in the truest sense of the
word. and we do not expect to de-
part from this principle. The plat
form adopted by the Convention
does not accord with our idea OF
State credit, therefore we cannot
endorse it in its fullest sense. If 1t
means no more than it says we
might possibly find no insurmOunta-
bic objection. but there's the rub. "
The nominee of the Convention,
Gen. Bate, we regard as 4 Democrat
and n gentleman above reproach,
and infinitely preferable to Alvin
Hawkins the Republican nominee.
There is no doubt that the next
Governor of Tennessee will be
either Bate or Hawkins, and be-
tween the two we prefer Bate. We
shall therefore support him and vote
for him, simply because he is the
regular Democratic nominee and to
effect the defeat OF the Republican
party, disideratum of the greatest
Importance. The Democratic party
of.Tennessee should be in line for
the coming national contest. If
Hawkins is elected this time, we
may as well make up our minds to
have hard work in carrying the
State for Democracy in 1884. The
Republicans realize the fact that
their chances in 1854 will be con-
sidcrably augmented by a victory
this year, and to secure this victory
will leave nothing undone. 1t be-
hooves Democrats to ponder well
and hesitate long before cOntribut
ing even indirectly to their success.
Let us elect Bate.

The Humboldt, Argus gives the
following good advice: "The COM
ing Legislature will be the most i'm
portant ever assembledin Tennessee,
and it is all-important to have men
who in every way can be trusted.
We want no man who can be APP
preached by a lobbyist without being
insulted. We want men who will
take an honest view of all questions,
and whose hearts are too sound to
be approached by the most impru-
dent. We have men in every county
in the State who would not only take
it as an insult TO be approached with
money, but who would make q rare
and lasting impression upon the
party so approaching. We need
honesty more than brilliancy. 1t
will take years to restore us to what

1t will be observed that all the

an average. The prospect for grapes,
in this vicinity, was never better
than at present, but the cold, wet
spring materially injured the cotton
crop, and hundreds of sores were
plowed under and the ground plant
ed to corn. An unusually large
wheat crop has been. harvested, and
altogether the agricultural outlook
in this State Is very fattering.-

rHE REAL 1ssuE ~ rENNEssEE.

Oourier- Journal The honest
Democrats of Tennessee, who love
their country and their party, and
who seek to rescue the Government
from the placemen and olgarchs by
whom il is possessed and conducted
for the benefit of the few at the eX-
pense of the many, should not allow
themselves to be misled by false
issue
No party in Tennessee proposes
to nav the State debt in full. Nor
is there any moral difference or dis
tinction of public credit and honor
in the matter of settlement be-
tween sixty-and-siX, or tifty-and-
four, or any other figures or frac-
tons less than one hundred cents
on the dollar. The scaling process
whichever way it be taken, is rePu-
diation and whilst the interest OF
the State would, in the long run, be
better served by discharging every
penny of it's obligations, there is an
undeniable show of plausibility in
the popular unwillingness to take
fifty.
The truth is, as matters stand, the
extremist, who will have nothing
less than the full payment of the
debt, makes himself the most effec,
tive friend of Reputation.
In any event, the issue is ephe
neral and local, and should not be
permitted to affect the organization
of the Democratic party, nor inter
pose between Gen. Bate and uni
ted Democratic vote. Those who
were shouting "readjuster" at the
late Democratic State Convention
forget that the settlement which
they support is nothing if it be moi
a reimbursement" And, when thi:
same class shrek ''MahOne" at the
heels of the Democratic nominee
they forget that they do so in the
interest of the party which hai
made an unholy alliance with Ma
hone. 1t is Hawkins and his party
who are hand-in- glove with Malone
not Bate and his party.
Democrats should remember Thu
and, remembering it, should sternly
rebuke the malcOntents and imprac
ticables, who are straining at
Democratic gnat TO swallow a lie
publican camel.

4 PERTINENT PROPosTIIOM.

From the Boston Post.
The widow and two children OF
the adopted son of Andrew Jackson
are said to be living in q state OF
destitution rs tenants on the famous
Hermitage plantation, which is now
owned by the State of Tennessee.
Mrs. Jackson was for years the mis-
tress of the White House. The
sensible proposition is made that the
Government should aid the family
by appropriating money to purchase
the valuable papers of Jackson
which are now in its possession and
can be bought by the United States.
They are of great historical value.

TIE ROLIERS.

The convention of State credit Dem
ocrats organized at Nashville on the
18th by t Q selection of Judge Jno.
V. Wright rs temporary chairman.
Gen. b. +. Cheatham was made
permanent chairman, and r. l.. G.
White, of Lebanon, Il. r. Cornick,
ir.. of Knoxville, and +. :. Nichols,
Of Memphis, secretaries. After the
appointment of the various COM
mittees the convention adjourned
until 8 p. m, to adopt the report OF
the committee on platform and reso-
lutions, and to make nomIn .tion
OF a candidate for Governor.
Speeches were made endorsing
the action of the Legislature in set
Ting the State debt at 6O-3, 4, 3, and
6.
The convention nominated unani-
mously, JOS II. RUSSELL, of Maury,
for Governor, and adopted the fol-
lowing platform
We, the Democratic party of Ten
nessee, in convention assembled, do
declare,
First. That we are unalterably
opposed TO the reputation of any
Of our State or national obligations,
and are in favor of maintaining in
violate the public faith.
Second. That we recognize the
recent settlement of the State debt
made the present Legislature as in
accordance with the platforms 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 de-
clare that it should not be disturbed
or readjusted.
Third. That we are opposed to
all class Legislation and partial laws,
and to all laws, the tendency OF
which is to impair the obligation OF
the contracts.
Fourth. We are in favor of a
liberal system of public schools, sc
that every child in Tennessee may
have a good common school educa
ton; and recognizing the good
effects of what is known rs the four
mile law, by which the number o.
schools has been increased, and crime
and vice diminished, we are opposed
to its repeal.
Fifth. That we favor a policy
that will compel railroad corpora,
tons, as well rs all other corpora.
tons and individuals in the State Of
Tennessee, to bear their equal part
of the burden of taxation.
Sixth. We favor the establish
ment of a railroad commission to
regulate freights and tariffs, so as to
prevent unjust discrimination with
such powers as shall protect the
rights of both the people and the
railroads.
Seventh. We are opposed to a
constitutional convention at this
time, believing that the necessities
for such convention do not justify
the danger of opening the organic
law to amendment in these times OF
unsettled political opinions.
Eighth. We arraign the Repub-
lican party for its reckless eXtrava-
gance with the public funds, the
issuance of subsidies to the favored
few, the disregard of the organic
and fundamental law of the land, as
set forth in the constitution, and for
its growing and increasing advance
to Capitalization for its system OF
protection to the strong corpora
tons, thereby imposing additional
burdens upon the labOrer, producer,
and mechanic.

THE NOMINEE.

The Nashville Banner gives the
following about Mr.. Russell, whom
the State Credit Democrats have
Just nominated for Governor
Mr.. RUSSELL started in life as a
carpenter, and while yet a boy en-
tered the army, where he served as
private, rose 10 lieutenant and
then captain. After gallant services
to the end of the war he studied law
and rose at the bar rapidly, was
elected Attorney general, and re-
elected after eight years service.
He is regarded as one of the ablest
speakers IN his circuit and invincible
before jury. His blameless private
life, stubborn devotion to duty and
bold pursuit of whatever he believes
to be right, will make him n formi-
dable candidate. Mr.. Russell is a
man of about 30 or 40 years Of age,
vigorous mentally and physically,
progressive in his ideas and one OF
the best representatives of the young
Democracy Of the South, who learn
ed breadth and liberality in the
school of war and common sense,
an the ability to understand the
changed conditions in the subse-
quent peace. He is a gentleman by
nature.

GEN. IEN. B. BATE At JACKSON

Jackson Dispatch.
The speech of Gen. Bate on Tues
day last was listened to by one of
the largest crowds ever assembled
in this place. All were agreeably
disappointed, for his friends did not
expect so much from him and his
opponents expected little rough
handling. But his speech was CON
vincing, and all who had their doubts
went home satisfied that the conven.
ton had acted wisely in its selection
of a standard bearer, and those who
differed were much softened by his
kind and persuasive language. We
could not ave had speech better
suited to unite. the discordant ele-
ments. He found no fault with
those who differed-for he attributed
honesty of purpose-but the ques-
ton was, whether we should split
up because we could not have every
thing our own way and elect Haw-
kins, or should we concede some
thing and let the State go into the
hands of that party that it right
fully belongs to. He showed that
the lowtaxers had come up much
higher than was eXpected-had even
done more than should have been
expected-and he thought the other
side should come down to the 500
and have united Democracy. All
in all it was one of the best speeches
we ever listened to on an occasion
OF the kind. As he said, he was
here to throw oil on the troubled
waters, and he did it most effectually.
Madison may now be set down as
solid.

The Knoxville correspondent OF
the Chattanooga Times gives this
bit of railroad news: Railroad
men. though, in general, and even
tempered class of men, do not al.
WAYS preserve their equanimity.
Messrs. a. III. Caldwell and Will
Barton, both conductors on the East
Tennessee, Virginia & Georgia rail
road, met with their respective trains
at station above Knoxville Both
trains were on the same track, meet
ing each other, while one of them
should have switched off, allowing
the other To pass. Each cOntended
that he had the right track. Hot
words ensued, whereupon Capt. Bar
ton with a heavy railroad lantern
struck Capt. Caldwell over the left
eye, inflicting a severe cash and
breaking the lantern to ''smither-
Gems" Capt Caldwell, recovering
somewhat from the blow, dealt Capt.
Barton a '.ioe-darter' with his mass
i've fist square in the face. This,
your correspondent is informed, pre-
cipitated Capt. Barton over n fence,
over which Caldwell leaped and pro-
eeeded to follow up his blow with
choking his opponent. Here friends
interfered, which ended the row.
The boys were suspended ten days,
in order to heal up their wounds
and cool off. Both are gentlemen
in excellent standing with their en-
ployers, save the "late unpleasant
ness" referred to above.
