OVER 100 REPUBLICANS OF Wash.
NGfON COUNTY SAID:

Be HReSOlued, That in view
5of the fact that the leading and
influential friends of Mai. A..
III. Pettihone authorized so to
do, made the solemn and vol
untary promise at the Greene-
vile Congressional Convention
in 1882 that Mr.. Pettibone
would not be a candidate for
reelection in 1884, and that
Hen A. A. Taylor should have
a clear track; in view of the
fact that this solemn and vol
untary pledge became the un-
derstsnding and will of the
party, and that Mr.. Pettibone
frequently, in public and pri-
vate, unreservedly approved
and confirmed it; in view of
the fact that, Mr.. Pettibone,
with these friends authorized
BY him to act in his behalf,
wilfully and arrogantly disre-
garded this solemn and volun-
tary pledge; in view of the
fact that, in the late primary,
high handed fraud and open
bribery were used to nominate
Mr.. Pettibone and that he is
now publicly and without pro-
vocation denouneiug the ad-
hsrents of Hon. A. A. Taylor
in the most opprobrious and
insulting terms, we will not
cOndone his dishOnoring non-
performance of a sacred and
unsOught obligation, and the
foul corrupting methods used
to defeat the will and choice
of the party and that we will
now and in the future with
draw our confidence and sup
port from Maj. A. H. Petit
bone.

uncalIed for, and only shows how little MIR.
Turley knows concerning aquestion SO vi
tally affecting the property he and his as
sociates are trying to control s. Ii the gen
tleman had taken the pains to even inquire,
he would at once have discovered that the
proposed new issue Of bonds and stocks
was to cover the cost of constructing the
Jellico connections of the Louisville and
Nashville and the completion of the Ovens
boro and Nashville, part of the louisville
and Nashville system. Such loose and
reckless insinuations serve only to further
weaken public confidence in the aims and
fitness of the present commission.
So much for watering and stock jobbing
Let US now look into the question of rates,
upon which Mr.. Turley endeavors to treat,
referring to grain. He says
1Say that the party -whom~you sell
sells again in the atlanta market, and that
it is there worth ninety cents per bushel,
and that the amount charged by the road
for delivering the wheat is eighteen cents
per 100 pounds, or 1915 cents per bushel,
does not the party to whom you sell first
deduct this, sum from the Atlanta price,
and then take from three to five cents per
bushel for his services and risk to deter
mine what he can pay you for your wheat?
Now if the freight charge is three cents per
busheI too high, is not this amount unjustly.
taken directly from you, and does it not,
therefore, deprive you to that extent of
what justly belongs to you?"
g Eighteen cents per 100 pounds to Atlanta,
says Mr.. Turley, is too high, but he fails
to tell you that the rate from his station
Charleston, Tennis only eleven cents per
100 pounds. From granary he goes to a
oh oe4Or g a
merchant pays 81. .25 for brogan shoe, and
the freight on the same is ten cents, and he
is willing to sell it to you for 25 per cent.
profit, he adds the freight to the original
cost, and charges you 25 per cent. on the
total cost He can not do otherwise and
sustain his business, because he has to pay
spot cash for freight, and could not afford
to lose it." te
Ten cents freight on "a broganp This
again shows how little the gentleman knows
of the business he is undertaking to discuss.
The average rate on a pair of brogan
shoes shipped to or from the most distant
distant point in Tennessee is less than one
cent per pair, and including shipment from
Boston, Mass, to any point in Tennessee,
will not exceed 1 cents.
Having disposed of NJ. Turley's complaint
against the tariff of rates as fixed by the
railroads, let us now compare to see what
it promised under the commission plan by
Mr.. Turley and his associates. In making
this comparison, l have been careful to
take the shortest given distance and COM
pute the commission rates upon the basis of
the rates proposed by the Tennessee COM
mission, adding thereto for shipments be-
yond the state limit snch rates as would be
applied under the commission system out
side of the state.
To illustrate, we will take grain per 100
pounds in car load quantities.

Pettibone has had ample
time to exhibit his ability in
the lower House of Congress.
With an arrogance and egotism
that is disgusting, he claims
that he has manifested the
most brilliant qualities of a
leader, and that he is equal to
Reid, Hiscock, Kelly or Kas-
son. The records are against
the Major, however, and show
that voting when his time came
was the only thing he attempt
ed TO do, with the exception of
making few windy and point
less speeches which invariably
caused the House to doze off
into dreamland. Pettibone Is
not a leader and never can be

The cry comes up from all over
the State, from nearly all the pro-
fessed loyal Democratic editors, to
scratch the names of Savage, Tur-
ley and Gordon off the ticket on the
7th of November next. The Nashs
vile american has come out on the
side of the "scratchers," and advis-
ss Democratic voters to scratch the
commission candidates off the tick
ct. The Nashville World and q few
country papers are contending for
the entire ticket. There is anything
but harmony and concert of action
on the part of the leaders and the
press of the party. 1t is charged
that Col. Savage was appointed to
the Office of railroad commissioner
by Governor Bate to "reconcile the
discordant elements of the party"
Gov. Bate said he appointed him
for that purpose. But it, seems that
oil and water will not mix. High
tax and low tax elements do not 60
down well together.
- While the so~called Democratic
press of Tennessee are pouring hot
shot into the commissioners, and ad-
vising Democrats to scratch their
names off the ticket, Gov. Bate 10
urging their election, and yet these
Democratic editers swear that Bate
is a pure and honest man and would
not dc anything wrong, and are urg-
ing his claims before the people. 1t
is coming to a pretty pass when the
grand old Democratic party, which
was the pride and boast OF the mas
ses in the days of jackson, Polk and
johnson, cant get up a platform
and candidate for Governor that
harmonizes with the party.
