favored a settlement by paying only the
| State debt proper. None of them favored
terms higher han thirty or forty cents on
rhe dollar. The Low.tsx Democrats made
| all the concessions, and the HIgh-tax Dem
ocrats, in accepting the platform, only placed
themselves where they stood three years ago,
when they zesloutly supported the PROPOSE
ton of the boodhold-rs 70 compromise at

Democrats have struck hands on the terms
Of 6fty-and-three, and time will show that
the State debt will be settled on this basis or

De impossible for any combination between
the Repu blicsns and the railroads to make
the sixty-andsix a 6nal settlement OF the
State debt question. This was unmistakably
indicated in the recent Democratic State
convention, and it will be rejected at the
ballot-box in the November elections. The
boilers will not succeed in their efforts 10

the sixty and-six settlement. mr. RUSSELL,
the candidate Of the boilers, will not receive
over 10000 votes in the entire State. But
coucede that he gets 10000, that is not
sufficient TO defeat the Democratic nominee
for governor. In every part Of the State the
reports are unvaryiug as 10 the strength Of
General Bate. A correspondent writing TO
the Nashville American from Gillem Station
says:

The Knoxville Tribune says:

the Democrats are better satisfied with The candi-

10 every part of the State the people are
rallyipg to the support Of Bate. He has
more personal following than any man in
Tennessee; was a gallant soldier. and his
honorable scars testify to his heroism. He
is in hearty sympathy with the true popular
impulses, and embodies the best thought and
aspirations Of his party. General Bate is
worthy of the confidence of his |
people. Through long and distinguished |
career his name has remained unsullied, and |
his fidelity to his friends, his party and the |
State thai gave him birth has never wavered. !
The people are speaking out in no uncertain |
voice for the election of the man who |
IS thoroughly with them, entirely in
with the popular instintts, and |
who, by his ability, courage and patriotism,
,as shed luster upon his State. The boilers
10 not expect to elect their candidate. Bul
hey do expect by their folly to elect Haw-
Iins and Legislature which, by combina-
ion with the Republicans, viii defeat the re-
Election of Senator Harris, which would be
misfortune to the State and a calamity to
he National Democracy.
