JOHN r. BEASLEY.

This gentleman is posing all over
the State as simOn-pure lOw-tax
Democrat.

a meMber Of the Legislature demon
strates, beyond peradventure, that

editorial, published elsewhere, that,
upon the two nit ut vital and essential
dOgmas, of the Low-tax Democracy,

We defy any man to gather from
any Of the vehement utteranees of
Bailey, or DOak, or Harrison, or But
Ter, any stronger denuncirtion of the
submission plank than is contained in
Beasley's reason for voting against a
resolution containing and setting forth
that very doctrine.
1t is a fact that a resolution was
introduced in the Legislature of
Tennessee, Of which Beasley was and
is member, declaring that no settle
ment of the State debt should be final
until submitted to the people for rati-
flea ton.
Beasiey not only voted against it
but actually pronounced the principle
undemocratic and unrepublican and
damnahe heresy,
Now he parades himself over the
State and dares to tlen0uuce such pa
triots and such loyal Low-tax Dem
Ucrats as Savage, Wilson, Snodgrass
and Wallace as traitors to cause
whose cornerstone he rejected and
whose advocates he dubbed as here
ties.
Again, this man claims thnt the
L0w-tax Democracy have deserted
him, because they now agree 10
make a tender of SOB OH the rail
road debt of the State, to holders Of,
this class of bonds.
In the editorial above referred to
and to be found elsewhere in til is

bill to settle the debt of the State
at 80 cents on the dollar and inc0rpo-
