TIE REPUBLICANS AND SUB
MISSION

Some of the Republican papers
which are published in Prohibition
Counties, are denying that the So
called Prohibition plank in the
Republican platform, introd ! ced by
Boss Houk, straddles that issue.
Houck SAID it did 1t is his baby
and he certainly ought to know his
own offspring. He said, in sub
stance, that that plank looked both
ways, and meant nothing. His
purpose, in introducing his reso!u-
ton in the shape it was in. was to
enable republicans in prohibition
counties to claim that it meant pro-
hlbition, and in anti-prohibition
counties to claim that it meant
nothing. The fact is that it means
nothing. 1t simply declares a right
which has never been disputed since
the formation of this Government
by any political party but does not
say which side of the question the
Republican party is on. The right
of the people to make and unmake
laws and constitutions has never been
denied. No man in christendom
can tell from Its platform whether
the Republican party in Tennessee
is for, or against the question OF
submitting the proposed constitutions
al amendment to the people OF
Tennessee.

AVALANCHE LOGIC.

In the Avalanche of July Il. two
editorials appear one immediately
following the other. One headed
"watch the old machine" the other
headed "what now" on which we COM
ment.
The first article substantially
argues that the Democratic party
cannot afford to declare an in6 epen-
dent, square, policy on any question
1t criticises much, it suggests MOTH
ing. The second article states, in
substance, that Mr.. Morrison intro
duced a bill for tariff reform in the
House, embodying one interpreta.
tiig of the Chicago platform. and
his bill failed. That Mr.. Randall
also introduced bill for the same
purpose, embodYing another inter
probation Of the Chicago platform,
and it also tailed.
It then proceeds to argue that the
Chicago platform pledged the
Democratic party to tariff reform
and that we must approve anew that
platform in order to compel the
redemption of the pledge.
That is to say the reasoning of the
Avalanche IS this: The democrats
have made platform, and different
members of the party interpret its
meaning in different ways. But the
party must carry out It's pledges
Therefore we must not speak def,
nitely, but we must simply approve
the clauses on which we disagree
and leave the disagreement to go on
forever. Or to put it in another way
The Avalanche reasons thus.
The Democratic party is pledged
to tariff reform. Our Democratic
Congressman. by division in opinion
as to proper Interpretation of The
platform, defeat all measures intro
duced for that purpose, therefore we
must keep up this division of Opin,
ion, and defeat the object. we are
| fighting for, by refusing to make al
| honest declaration that cannot b,
misunderstood. The logic of this i
simply delightful to the man wht
wants to stick in the mud forever.
The Avalanche seems terribly
distressed because it hears som,
democrat has written a letter to some
other democrat and vIce-versa, anC
sees a machine, IF one hundred
democrats should write letters t
one thousand more in dislnteresteC
advocacy Of party principles ant
| honest discussion Of all matters affec
ing the common veal, the democracy
Of Tennessee and the people ough
to rejoice. Let every honest demo
crat, trying to subserve the interes
of his country and party, write t.
other friends he believes to be hon
est and patriotic. and then perhaps
there would be one hundred or on,
thousand, and that sort of MACHINERY
| is just what the Democratic part,
needs. It is quite easy to CRITICS
policies. 1t is not SO easy to defn
one.
We believe the Avalanche to b
fair, Will it not define some polic1
OF its own, and advise its readers
1t should should not content itsel
with mere criticism. We submit

It seems that Bob Taylor is de-
termlned to be a candidate for
Governor before the Democratic
convention. Why he is so anxious
to surrender a position which pays
a much better salary than is paid
the Governor Of Tennessee, to enter
into a rough and tumble scramble
with his brother for an Office, we
are unable to understand. tits said
he has his weather eye on the United
States Senate, but that he will
never reach. Entirely too short.
