EAST TENNESSEE DEMOCRATS
In Favor of Harmony and
Unity.
Special Cor. Chattanooga Times

Special Cor. Chattanooga Times.
KNOXVILLE, March 27.-The Dem
ocrats Of Knoxville, so far as l have
had the opportunity of sounding the
matter, are decidedly in unison with
the spirit which seems to have per-
vaded the minds Of the low tax Exec
utive Committee at its rec ent meeting
at Nashville. They are more than
gratifed with its efforts to harmonize
and to bring the two factions together
at all hazards. They will not, as the
more prominent ones have informed
your correspondent, eountenance
any movement looking to CO.
alition with the Republican party, be-
lieving that it would result in break
ing down the party and giving the
State to the Republicans. They say
if the ultra State credit Democrats are
determined to strike hands with the
Republican party let them do SO.
They have no idea of going into any
such combination, and this they want
understood mot onl in East Tennessee,
but in all parts of the State. They say
they are for harmony, first, last and all
the time. No foolishness from this
time forward. Close up the ranks and
march in solid column against the old
foe of Democracy. This is the way
they talk and feel.
One potent factor in bringing about
this result, as | gather from leading
Knoxville Democrats, is the position
the Republican party took in Virginia
with regard to the public debt of that
State. There it coalesced with the
low down elements and backed them
in their repudiating folly, merely for
the purpose of disrupting the Demo
cratic party. 1t was so plain, they say,
that they cannot have any confidence
in the position of the party in Ten
nessee in its hypooritical efforts to
settle the public debt upon what
it is pleased to denominate a high
and honorable basis. This, they
maintain, is all bosh, and that its only
object, as intimated, is to ruin the for
tunes OF the Democratic party and to
build up on its ruins.
Your correspondent must not be
understood as Endorsing these views,
as that is not his mission in writing
these letters. His business is to re-.
cord events and to give the drift of
public sentiment upon such matters
as may arise from day to day. This he
has endeavored to do faithfully and
truthfully, so that your readers may
see that he does not color his represen-
tations with his own partizan views.

was probably between four and
five hundred tons. The boat was on ber
fifth day out from New Orleans at the
time of her destruction. A risk of $50.

season, and was owned by Captain s.

was one of the best and most successful
boats Of her class ever on the river.
As soon as the news of the horrible af-
fair had spread through the city,it became
the topic in every circle The proprietor
Of the Peobody Hotel heard Of it among
the early ones, and he at once sent h 4
porteiS and employees to the river front to
collect the wrecked people, and to have
them conveyed to the Peabody for quar-
ters and breakfast.
Those saved from the wreck, including
passengers and crew, are generally with
out clothing, and many are destitute Of
meney. Something should be done to re-
lievs their pressing needs and forward
them to their homes.
The sum of $l5T so has been collected
for the benefit of the sufferers, and will
be distributed this afternoon.
