STATE POLITICS.

Funding under the new law will begin as
soon as the new bonds are prepared.
The Hon. S. J. kirkpatrick is highly
spoken of for Congress in the Knoxville dis
trict.
The Knoxville Tribune says 50-4 is the
general preference for settlement in East
Tennessee.
The so and 8, 4, and bill is now law,
and the debt question settled. But will it
stay settled, is the question just now bothering
the average politician. He don't know which
way to jump.
The Democracy OF Haywood county will
meet in convention at Brownsville on the
10Th of June to select delegates to the guber-
material convention, and to consider other
questions of great concern to the party.
The 60 and 8, 4, 5 and has become the
law through the connivance of the Banner,
Butler, Hawkins & Co., and their tools in
the Legislature With a smooth effrontery
the Banner claims that it will greatly benefit
the Democratic party.-BrownsUiHe Democrat.
in what way?
The "low-tax" repudiating Democracy are
making loud boasts about setting the State
debt settlement aside by the next Legislature.
Perhaps it is to be done, perhaps not, but we
are prepared for anything if the repudiators
should have msjority in the next Legis-
lature-Knor,ile Chronicle.
Cole & Co. are after Senator /. G. Harris
for writing the sixty and six letter, with the
hope that he will get in the same boat with
them. The senator never takes passage on a
sinking vessel. He is a Democrat and for
the Democrats running their own machine,
without any advice from Butler g. Co. Mark
that.-Frdnkiin Review.
1t being generally understood that Judge
H )uk has got to be pensioner since he be-
came a member of Congress, having received
about three thousand dollars as his first pay
ment, some people are curious to know more
about it. They are curious to know the
nature of his disability. Was he wounded
in the war, and, if SO, when and where?-

The man who says the compromise State
credit Democrat has sacrificed principle in
making a step toward unifcstion of his party
is calumnistor AS bitter and unrelent-
| ing low-tax Democrat, we are for meeting
these noble fellows on middle ground, bury
ing tomahawks, smoking the calumet OF
peace and wallopiDg Hawkins clean out oil
his boots.-Franktin Reriew.
The Knoxville Tribune was a supporter OF
1908, for which exactly the same number of
Republicans voted sustained 90 and 3, 4,
and 6, but bitterly opposes the latter meas
ure. Why? The same Legislature passed
both; the same governor signed Dotn; the
same conditions as to authority and all
other paraphernalia surrounded the two set
Elements, or rather acts for settlements.
In voting tor the late debt proposition, the
Hon. George II. Morgan knows that he vio-
lated the pledges which he made when can
didate, and thwarted the will of his constit-
uents. He knows that this district is over
wheImingly low-tax and opposed to such a
settlement; and he further knows that he
would have been ingloriously defeated had
he told the people of this county the truth.
--Gaildtin IenaesseaH.
The Democratic convention at Paris Mon
day was not harmonious to any great extent.
"There was" however, says the Paris IHtelH
qencer, "more real than apparent concord
among Democrats A lot of Republicans
were present, whose object was to make all
the discord possible, and they used their op-
portunity Whenever there was riud uoee
vote, these fellows voted against the majority
and with each disturbing element, and in this
way made confusion worse confoundt d."
The Somerville Reporter, referring to the
congressional race, Gays that when the time
comes Memphis will furnish the congress
man. No countryman need apply. That
little town on the Chickasaw bluff thinks all
the talent of the State is right there. They
vote, but they must never apply for office.
1t will never do to come in contact with the
massive intellect of Memphis. When the
time arrives Memphis will furnish the rider
and the band can begin to play"
