The Maryville times. (Maryville, Tenn.) 1884-1944, 1886-10-13
B. g. o. r. r. FOR MARYVILLE.

Some weeks since the TINES
spoke of the probability of the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad build
ing a line of road from their road
in Virginia through East Tennessee
via Dalton, Georgia, to Birming.
ham, Ala. Knoxville is just now
waking up to the probability of the
accomplishment of this work.
The line indicated would pass
southeast of Bristol, through John
son, Washington, Greene, Cooke, Sc
vier and Biount counties, running
from Cranberry to- Maryville, then
south as above indicated.
The truth is, Maryville is point
for railroads, and the day is not far
distant when she will be railroad
centre, having from three to five
railroads, and in ten years will
have population of ten thousand
people, with furnaces and wooden
ware manufactures. There is no
town so well located for this as
Maryville. She has the best water
in the State, and there is no
town so well located for health,
which makes it desirable as a re-
sort, besides it is College town.
The Knoxville papers are of the
opinion that as Knoxville is only
fifteen miles off the line, they can
draw the road. A branch may be
run into that city, but the main line
will skirt the mountains and pass
south, as Birmingham is the OBJ
jective point.
The B. & o. Road is aggressive.
They have no special business at
Knoxville, and therefore will not
go there; and their line will be
more valuable by not going there.
Knoxville is not what that road
wants-it is Southern outlet, and
what is most desirable to the COM
pany is line of road through a
country that will sustain it; and as
an agricultural country there is but
little to ship out 1t is the mineral
and timber that engages the atten-
ton of the far-seeing owners Of the
Baltimore & Ohio Railroad, and
this line will have no equal in Ten
nessee. The factories talked of at
Knoxville would be at some other
points on the line of this road, in
closer proximity to the mines. East
Tennessee occupies the ground at
Knoxville and always will. She
has the position to make her king of
roads at this point.

FOR WHOM SHALLIvOTE7

1t is one of the remarkable phases
of political life, when a party places
itself in opposition to so great and
humane measure as the Blair Ed
vocational Bill, now pending before
the Congress of the United States.
This bill proposes to give the South
ern States about sixty millions OF
dollars, to help the people educate
their children. The amount Tenn
essee would receive would be about
eight Millions of dollars. This to
a people burdened with taxation
would be a great relief, suffering as
they are from the effect of the late
war. 1t would be rich legacy,
and it is difficult to understand why
party in Tennessee should oppose
so magnanimous an offer. Think of
ten hundred thousand dollars year
for eight years, and 1O,5OO ofthat for
Blount County; Farmers, Mechan-
les, Merchants and Laboring men,
what doy think oft. In some OF
the States, there is no difference of
of opinion, all are for the measure.
But in Tennessee we are sorry to
say, the Democrat party has placed
herself against the passage of this
bill that gives us so much money.
Now what shall we do? vote for the
opponents of this bill, or for those
who do all in their power for its pas
sage. The Democratic candidate
for Governor, Robert Taylor, is Op-
posed to the passage of this bill; so
are all the Democratic candidates
for Congress in Tennessee, while on
the other hand, ALT Taylor, the Re-
publican candidate for Governor, is
in favor of the Blair Bill, so are all
the Republican candidates for Con-
gress. Now we submit the question
to the voters. Will you vote for
eight millions for Tennessee or will
you vote against it. Now If you are
in favor of this large sum of
money coming to us, vote for ALI
Taylor for Governor, as this is the
issue in Tennessee, so made by the
two platforms One is for, and the
other is against it, so with the can
didates for Governor, one for and the
other against. Your vote is to be
the instruction from the people of
the state.
The Maryville times. (Maryville, Tenn.) 1884-1944, 1886-10-13

In Tennessee the issue is, Isham
Harris VS.. the Blair Educational
Bill. The test of Democracy Is
this: If you are for Harris you are
a sound Democrat, and no ques'
tions asked; but if you are for ed
ucating the children of the State
on any kind of money not derived
from the proceeds of the sales Of
public lands, then you are not a
Democrat.

man, and, the Union says, "the bet
ter class of Democrats will vote
for him, unless they should make a
second nomination, as they can not
vote for the whisky-sellers' candi-
date nominated by the late Demo-
cratic convention" That is the
only way to compel parties to NOM
mate good men.
The Maryville times. (Maryville, Tenn.) 1884-1944, 1886-10-13

The Memphis Avalanche says
Bob TaylOr's remark that the Blair
Bill is dead may mislead persons,
when the bill passed the Senate
and now stands on the House cal
endar ready for action; therefore,
it is necessary to send men to Con-
gress who favor its passage, if we
want the $S,OO0,OOO.
The Maryville times. (Maryville, Tenn.) 1884-1944, 1886-10-13

Isham Harris carried the school
fund with him during the war, and
at the close of the same he put 1t in
its little bed, where it has been
asleep ever since; but he says now
the Republican party stole 1t out Of
its little bed while asleep, when
there was no Republican party in
existence in Tennessee.
The Maryville times. (Maryville, Tenn.) 1884-1944, 1886-10-13

! Bob Taylor has left the real DEM
Ocratic party, and gone to the Bour.
bOns. He is an Ish. Harris man.
Therefore let all Democrats who
favor Federal aid for the education
ofOur children, vote for ALI Taylor.
The Maryville times. (Maryville, Tenn.) 1884-1944, 1886-10-13

1t is said that ALI Taylor and
Gen Wilder are gaining largely in
McMinn County. Their majority
will probably be 500. Democrats are
outspoken for both, especially those
who are for the Blair educational
bill. 1850 'tf 8 81
The Maryville times. (Maryville, Tenn.) 1884-1944, 1886-10-13

Bob says that the Blair bill is not
a partisan issue. What have the es-
teemed organs to say of this? They
say that opposition is a necessary
test of Democracy. Some of them
say that no man can be for it and be
a ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Avalanche,
Democrat.
The Maryville times. (Maryville, Tenn.) 1884-1944, 1886-10-13

1t is hard to tell what Bob Tay.
ior meant when he said "the Blair
Bill is dead" 1t is now on the cal.
endar awaiting the action of the
next session of Congress.
The Maryville times. (Maryville, Tenn.) 1884-1944, 1886-10-13

The Blair Bill is a lively corpse,
and the man who in Congress votes
against it will not be a lively
corpse himself. s-'~
