: HoIters' Platform.

We, the Democratic party of Tennes-
see, in convention assembled, do de-
clare
First That We are materially Dp-
posed to the reputation Of any Of our
State or National obligations, and are in
favor Of maintaining inviolato the pub
| lie faith.
Secoud-That we recognize the recent
settlement Of the State debt made by
the present Legislature as in accord
with the platform of the Democratic
party Of 1880, both State and National,
and as first and honorable. both to the
people and the creditors of the State,
and declare that it shall not be disturb
ed or readjustcd
Third-That We are opposed to all
class legislation and partial laws, and to
all laws, the tendency of which is to i'm
pair the obligation of contracts.
Fonrth-We are in favor of a liberia
system Of public schools, so that any
child III Tennessee may have good
common school education. And recog
nizing the good effects of what is known
as the "iour mile law" by which the
number of schools has been increased
and crime and vice diminished, we are
Opposed to its repeal.
! Fifth-We favor policy that vii
compel railroad corporations, as well a
all other corporations and individual
in the State Of Tennessee, to bear thei
equal port Of the burden of taxation.
Sixth-We favor the establishment 0
railroad commission, to regulat
freigh,s and tariffs so as to prevent IN
J just discrimination, with such powers a
shall protect the rights of both the pee
pie and the railroads.
Seventh-We are opposed to Cor
stitutional Convention at this time, be
lfeving that the necessities for such
convention do not justify the danger c
opening the organic law to amendment
in these times of unsettled political opil
ion.
Eighth-We arraign the Republca
party for its reckless extravaganza wit
6 public funds the issuance Of subsidie
to the favored few; the disregard of tn
organic and fundamental law Of tn
land as set forth in the Constitution
and for its growing and increasing aC
2 vance to Capitalization for its systel
Of protection to the strong corporations
/ thereby imposing additional burden
upon the laborer, producer and INT
chanic.

TIE Chance for Cen. Bate

We feel safe in conccding to Gen.
Bate $4,000 Of the 81 ,546 votes cast for
Wilson in the last gubernatorial race.
We feel equally safe in conceding to
him $4,000 of the 79,OO9 cast for
Wright. This would take total for
Bate of lO5 ,0OO-just 2,O29 more than
Hswkins received. We leave out Of
calculation the 1914 votes cast for Ed
wards the Greenback candidate. No%,
this Is allowing to the Boilers candidate
nearly q, GOO Of the Wright vote and
75iG of tie Wilson vote. But we 10
not believe that Mr. Fussel will get 20
600 Of the Wright men. There are not
that number who will prefer Hawkins
to Bate simply because the platform IS
not exactly to their notion. Besides
they must see, If sensible men, that the
only chance in the world to beat Hdw
kins is to vote for Gen. Bate. They
must see that the Boilers do not expect
the election Of their candidate. Hence
we conclude that vigorous canvass tol
the regular nominee Of the Democratic
party will result in bis election by 4 ma
iority over Hawkins Of about l2,OC0 o.
more. And We believe there will b.
many changes before the election, all 0
which will inurc to the benefit Of Gen
Bate.

The honest Democrats OF Tennessee,
who love their country and their party,
and who seek to rescue the Government
from the placemen and oligarchs by
whom it is possessed and conducted for
the benefit of the few at the expense 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 distinction of
public credit and honor in the matter OF
settlement between sixty~six, or fifty
aud.four, or any other figures or frac.
tons less than one hundred cents on
the dollar. The scaling process, which
ever way it be taken, is reputation
and, whilst the interest Of the State
would, in the long run, bebctter served
by discharging every penny of its obi
CATION, there is an undenlable show o
FEASIBILITY in the popular unwillngnes
to pay sixty cents when certain credit
ors have expressed willingness to TAX
fifty
The truth is, as matters stand, the ez
tremist, who will have nothing less tina
the full payment of the debt, make
himself the most effective friend OF re
pudiation.
In any event, the issue is ephemerf
and local, and should not be permitte
to affect the organization of the Dem'
3 cratic party, nor ipterpose between Gel
Bate and united Democratic vot
Those who were shouting "readjustel

ing in regard to the speech of Gen.
Bate in that city recently:
The speech of Gen Bate on Tuesday
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
convincing, and all who had their
doubts went home satisfied that the
convention had acted wisely in its Sc.
lection of standard-bearer, and those
who differed were much softenod by his
kind and persuasive language. We
could not have had speech better suit
ed to unite the DESCENDANT elements. He
found no fault with those who differed
for he attributed honesty of purpose
but the question was, whether we
should split up because we could not
have everything our own way and elect
Hawkins, or should we concede some
thing and let the State go into the
hands Of that party that it rightfully be-
longs 40. He showed that the low-tax-
ers 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
IN occasion of the kind. AS he said, be
was here to throw bill on the troubled
waters, and he did it most efiectualy.

Morning Werk.

o. walter Scott used to do gooC
days work before his guests were up
Daniel Webster also worked in the
morning, and both seemed at leisure,
though it was not known how it was
secured. a good story is told of Turnel
which shows his appreciation of the
morning hours:
Lord Egremont once invited Turner to
stay a week at Petworth and paint two
pictures for him Of some favorite bits of
scenery on the estate. On the first
morning of his visit Lord Egremoni
asked Turner what he should like to do,
and the great painter replied he would
go fishing.
The next morning at breakfast Lord
Egremont inquired again what it would
please Mr.. Turner to do; and he re-
piled that, having enjoyed himself SO
much yesterday, he would go fishing
again.
On the third morning Lord Egremont
thought he would wait for Turner to an
nounce his own plans, and was greatly
amused when he quietly said he was
again going fishing.
On the fourth morning, Lord Eyre
mont, unable to conceal his anxiety,
said
Well, Mr.. Turner, i am only too
glad for you to enjoy yourself, but you
are talking of going away tomorrow,
and / felt anxious about the pictures.
Come up stairs to my room, said
Turner, land set your mind at rest.
Nothing could exceed the surprise and
delight of Lord Egremont when Turner
introduced him to two exquisite pictures
painted as he had desired.
The great man had risen each morning
with the sun, and before breakfast had,
by good days work, earned his pleas
