MORE ABOUT THE SAME THING.

Since the editoriel in this issue
headed @Purchasable Delegates" was
put into type, Hon Sam McElwee has
been interviewed and makes fiat
denial of the New York Times cores
pondents Statement. He says, II did
not meet Mr.. Daggett nor hear of him
while in Chicago" But while the
gentleman from the Ninth district is
thus sustaining his own Immaculate
character, he brings some heavy char
ges against Hon. Leonidas Caesar Houk
and other prominent white republicans
in Tennessee. All that an outside
man can conclude is that somebody
has lied. The end not yet, and there
is promise of lively row among some
of the leading lights of the party of
great moral ideas who dwell in this
part of the Lords vineyard. The fol-
lowing are some extracts from the in
terview with McElwee that will explain
themselves:
"Did you have any proposition made
you or money offered you by any
one ?"
Eyes, sir; Judge Houk asked me
who | was for. Ireplied, Blaine He
said, Were you not sent here to vote
for Arthur replied, no. that my
district wanted Blaine, and l would
vote for him all the time. Houk then
said, the Blaine crowd would make
big promises but they could not meet
them; that Arthuris men had ample
means and were willing to use them
to secure his nomination. Judge
Houk then offered me 81 800, to be
divided between myself and the other
two delegates if would cast my vote
for Arthur"
@Did you have any other proposals
made your"
Eyes, sir; A: NJ Hughes, of Nash
vile, sent me word by my colleague,
Mr.. Bell, that if would vote for Ar
thur | should have place in the Rev
enue Departm ent that would pay me
81 200 per year, and sent Mr.. Bell for
me to carry me over to Arthur-s head
quarters" Il
'Is that all ?"
mo, sir, it is not. ]. H. Smith,
Postmaster at Memphis, offered to J.
Q. Watson good place in the mail
service"

American industries. 'a
The Stewart County Democrats
speak out on the all smportant iubject
in the following manner: i .s..
That we favor a tariff for revenue
only, wisely and equitably adjusted;
and that protection shall be purely
Incidental; that the tariff shall be laid
with a view to raise only a sufficient
revenue to defray the expenses of
government on strictly economical
basis. .,-...r. ......... ......
The Stewart County Democrats
must have been diligent readers of the
Chronicle, for they adopt our pet
phrase, wisely and equitably adjus-
ted" We are in line with the Stewart
Democracy in this declaration.
The Gibson County Democrats
passed a series OF resolutions denounc-
ing the present tariff demanding
reform and concluding as follows
That we favor tariff that will afford
no more revenue than Will defray the
current expenses of the government,
economically administered, and so
levied as to offer the greatest good to
the American people. .is .-
+. The Dyer County Democrats, who
were supposed to be among the most
ultra of free traders, seem to cling
somewhat to the idea of adjustment,
and draw it rather mild, as follows:
We regard the present tariff. as
burdensome upon the
people, as tending to build up and
make rich the few at the expense of
the many, and that the delegates from |
this convention to Nashville are in |
to vote for such delegates to |
the National Convention as are in |
favor Of tariff reform, and for such an
adjustment of the tariff as viii relieve
