The Avalanche and its train of les
ser lights are very much mistaken
when they assert that there are only
three or four democratic papers in
Tennessee which agree with the
American in its position that tho law
requiring the railroads f. furnish sep
arate md lirst-class accommodation
for colored people who pay frstclass
fare should be enforced The propo-
sition is SO fair and just that the rail-
road organs themselves have not deG
MED that it is right, but seek to avoid
the issue by crying out that it means
''sooial equality, "or that it will newt
ably lead to social equality" We
are unable TO appreciate the argu-
mont that requiring negroes and white
people to occupy separate cars viii
lead to social equality. just how it

be seen. Let US have it.

The Ohio democracy in convention
last week, re-nomlnated Gov. Hoadly
by acclsmation, for the position he
now holds. Dr. Leonard, the prohi
bition, and Judge Foraker, the re-
publican candidates, having both been
tn the field for some time. The dem
ocrats endorsed the Chicago platform
and Mr.. Cleveland's administration
They also declared in favor of a high
license for the sale of liquor. The
contest will be hot and the result
doubtful. Hoadly is one Of the ablest
men in pubic life today, and Will
make q brilliant canvass. There was
considerable opposition to Hoaaly in
his O Nn party, but beng the choice
Of a myority, he was nominated by
acclamation, and after he had Made
his 81 eech of acceptance the delegates
who opposed him proposed three
cheers, which were Justify given.
The example Of the Ohio democrats
might be studied with profit by the
malcontents in that party in this
State. 1t shows that they are will
ing for the majority to rule and value
the success Of the party more than
their own individual opinions upon
matters Of party policy.

The GAINESVILLE Chronicle mentions
the Bulletin as one of the newspapers
which oppose the idea of one conven.
ton next year. The Chronicle is mis-
taken. Nothing has ever appeared
in these columns which would lead
any one to believe that we wanted
more than one convention. AS early
as the 21st Of July the Bulletin
endorsed the one convention idea and
gave its reasons for 50 doing, in half
column article, which must have es-
capped the attention Of the Chronicle.
We have seen nothing since that time
which at all shook our faith in the
correctness of that position and we
still favor one convention. That one
Will likely be representative one and
no one interest will have more repre-
sentation than It's strength would
entitle it to, but if more than one
convention is held the political bum
mers and the free pass imps, who
attend cow entions at some one else's
expense, will get the advantage OF Inc
REPRESENTATIVES OF the people, who
pay their own way. One convention

it will BE- representative and demo
cratic. No class or interest vii con-
control, but al be represented alike.
The only source Of danger now IS to
be found in the failure of nominating
conventions to reflect the peoples
wilI-conventions packed by free
passes, forgetful of those they repre-
sent. One full, representative CON
vention IN which all classes and in
terests take part, cannot do anyone
harm. No class OF lawyers need fear
the people. The people will do right.
