After all, the "harmonicon" seems to have
not been played in vain.-NashoiLe World
Knoxville indorses the action of the com

ment will come from all over the State

The soreheads were cleaned up at Nash

not followed. The whole State is overjoyed.

PettIfoggers and dead-beats were numerous
at the Democratic convention in Nashville
this week giving their views and ideas about
State honor, State cred t and harmony in the
Democratic ranks. Away with such men,

]. Il. B.asley, an or sinal low-taxer, and
the Nashville BdnRai original 100
advocate, have come together at last. They
are both opposed to harmony in the Demo-
cratic party. Il ,asley and the Banner are
both enemies OF true Democratic principles.

The plain English of S. f. Wilson's letter
on the political situat on in Tennessee is
that he is willing to harmonic on 50-4 or
50-3, or any other lower figure for the settle
ment of the State debt, provided the people
indorse the same in some practical way

Familiarity with ann idea, no matter how
abhorrent at first, fnally makes it less objec-
tionable. IT'S 80 with the cancer repudia-
ton, which thirty years ago would have
driven any man out of public life in Tennessee
who had SO much as limited at an approval
of the idea.-Frankiu Progress.
"My wife and l il ore" remarked an old
colored gentleman, "and l " de one" he
added reflectively, after pause. Something
of the kind passed through the brain of IL
certain harnonicon-pliyer yesterday when
the resolution of the executive committee
was adopted; but, 'twi 1t cup and lip many
sip.-NashUWe Banner.
VIII the Afternoon Blubber please ex-
plain whether it predicted months ago that
the Democratic Executive Committee would
quietly straighten themsels es up, and without
even taking the pains to brush away the dust,
sit quietly and firmly down on the bosses aud
would-be ring masters of Tennessee of the
Tennessee Democracy ?-NashoiIe World
Some hot-headed Democrats say stick to
principle and don't harmonic, don't yield
a thing 10 others but say Pm right and
everybody else is wrong" Orce a boy was
leading a lckass 10 water and came to a
ditch two feet wide that had to be crossed
in order to reach the water. The boy stepped
over but the jack wouldn't; he stuck to
principle and done without water-DycroJurq

The action OF the Childress committee last
Wednesday proves that the Banners predic
tions in political, as well as in other matters,
may be wrong. In view of the past tO0many
were ready, and some did cry out, Discord
wall be the ruling spirit which will mark the
action of this committee" but like men jeal-
GUS of the principles and interests of their
party they harmonjzed to a man.-Frankiin
Progress.
From every portion of Upton county
comes the gratifying intelligence that in
urging the claims of Ex-Governor Marks for
next governor of Tennessee we voice the SEN
timents of the people OF the county. Nor is
this sentiment confined to Upton, but pre-
walls in that portion of Fayette with which
we are in OCCASIONAL communication. There
can be no doubt in the mind of anyone who
will take the trouble to inform himself that
Elk Governor Marks is the choice OF the
people, Corington Cal
The people of this State are too poor TO
support themselves, support the government,
and pay the enormous bonded debt that now
hangs over them. Now what is to be done?
We think the first duty OF man is to support
himself and family, next he should support
his government, then if there is q surplus
left let that go toward paying the State debt
individuals must first live and be provided
for, then the government, and if there is
slice left the bloated bondholder can come in
for a share, otherwise he cannot.-Jdck on
Dispd'ch.
John H. Savage spoke at Lebanon last
Monday, and is reported TO have said, among
other things, "that the State debt was ques-
ton that could not be settled by any Legis-
lature, court or party convention; it can
only be settled by the people. and no settle
ment by them is binding if they choose 10
undo it. He is willing to harmonizs with
moderate State-credit men, but insists on the
submission plan, and will consent to no set
Element which does not include this plan;
will not harmonic with the 1908 men, and
advised the people not to vote for such men
Tor any Office, buy goods from them, or asso-
ciate with them. They belong in the Re
publican party, and the sooner they go to 1t
the better for all concerned"
The Knoxville Tribune publishes the fol-
lowing announcement: 81 hereby announs

The Hon. Albert S. Marks has evidently
imposed himself on the Tribune under
nom dc gucrre and moved into East Tennessee.
By close shave and the aid of his celebrated
screw we think the times are propitious for
the Hon. Archimeaes Shaver, TO screw HIM
self to the sticking point in the gubernatorial
chair, whence the Hon. Albert, Arcbimedes
Shaver was so unceremoniously bounced In
