Gravity On A Tear.

When the delegates to the conven-
ton have all returned to their homes,
many grave and sober church dea-
con will laugh at himself as he reflects
upon the wild capers he cut under the
excitement of the contest in the con-
vention. Many good citizen who
superintends Sunday-school and
leads in prayer, will blush when he
thinks of himself standing on tiptoe in
a chair waving both arms in the air
and yelling his lungs out because his
man made gain OF a fraction of a
vote, or because some gusty orator re-
ferred to his candidate as "grand
and glorious democrat" or something
of that sort. If one of these staid old
class-leaders could have been photo
graphed by the instantaneous process
while turning somersaults in a mad
delirium of Joy over favorable result or
shaking his fist and jumping up and
down in lunatic fury because some
fellow sprung a proxy on him, it would
have furnished his enemies with as
deadly a weapon as they could want.
At the time few could appreciate the
fun for all it was worth, because ev-
eryone partook of the excitement in a
greater or less degree. There really
seemed nothing very comical at the
time in the spectacle of bald-headed
and gray-haired old veteran OF sixty
winters, kicking over chairs, dancing
jigs and bowling like a wolf, because
every other fellow was doing, or had
been doing the same thing.
But when everybody has time to
take sober second thought and draw
second sober breath it will appear
mighty funny.-Nashville Democrat.

Sullivan Democrats Indignant.

BRISTOL, Tenn, May Is 18S8,-At
meeting Of Sullivan county democrats
on Monday the following resolutions
were passed
Resolved, first, that this impromptu
mass meeting Of the democrats Of Sui
Ivan county condemn the unjust war
fare being made on Gov Taylor by the
intolerant minority in the Nashville
convention.
Second, That our delegates be urged
never to yield but continue the fight
if it takes all summer.
Third, That we view with shame the
course OF G. H. Slack in his foolish and
underhand course in attempting to
misrepresent nine-tenths OF the demo
Gratis of Sullivan; that we demand he
desist from his outrageous scheme to
throttle their will.
Fourth, That we consider there can
be no reasonable apology for the
course Of !. Tip Powell and Thos. Ev-
ans in going back on positive instruc-
tions, putting their proxies into the
hands of the enemy, thereby declaring
themselves superiors to the democracy
of Sullivan. N. H. REEVE,

Hattield.McCOy Case.

WASHINGTON, May 14.-The SUI
preme Court to-day rendered decis.
ion in the celebrated "Hatfeld
Mccoy" case, appealed from Ken
lucky. One Mahon, resident of
West Virginia, was charged with hav-
ing committed certain crimes in Ken
lucky, but the authorities OF West Vir-
ginia refused to deliver him on repui-
sition. He was sson after this kidnap-
ped in West Virginia by certain par
ties and carried into Kentucky, where
he was arrested by officers from that
state, and in the courts convicted OF
the crime charged, The case was ap.
pealed on the claim that the Kentucky
court had no jurisdiction because of
the illegal manner in which he was
brought into their possession. The
court denies the appeal declaring that
the state may punish him for his
crimes against her laws without ques-
ton as to how he was brought under
her jurisdiction and that his action is
against those who kidnapped him.

A Man DRINK on Politics.

A man drunk on politics is ten
times bigger fool than one drunk or
ardent spirits. He becomes blind to
all reason, loses respect for the better
feelings of his fellow man, who is as
good by nature, and far better by prac-
tice, than he is. To illustrate, a GER
tain partisan the other day told his
constituents that he wanted them to
do two things. One was to fight dem
ocrats, the other was to fight the devil.
This is only an index to the heart.
These vile utterances show that these
partisans are ignorant of the fact that
both political parties are founded on
the grand principle, Freedom of
thought and independence in decis-
ion" Destroy this principle and you
raise up mad Anarchy, you unsap the
very foundation Of Republican gov.

Democratic State Platform.

We, the Democratic party of Ten
nessee, in convention assembled, reit-
crate our devotion and adherence to
the principles of the party, expressed
and advocated since its foundation.
We believe in the equality OF all men
before the law that a public office is
public trust, and that honesty and
competency are the true tests for pub
lie position.
We believe that the message and adj
ministration of President Cleveland
have been wise and patriotic for
which he deserves the thanks OF the
people of all classes and in all sections,
and we declare it as our opinion that
it is best for the whole people that he
should be re-nominated and elected.
That the views OF the President in
his message to Congress in regard to
the tariff are pure Jeffersonian democ.
racy and sound craftsmanship, there
fore we heartily indorse his views as
expressed in said message.
We indorse that clause in the last
national democratic platform which
declares that 1--WE are opposed to all
propositions which upon any pretext
would convert the general government
into a machine for collecting taxes to
be distributed among the States or the
citizens thereof"
We view with satisfaction the sue.
cessful management ofState affairs for
the past two years by the democratic
party Of Tennessee.
We look with pride upon the public
school system inaugurated by the
State, and we believe that the State
should continue to maintain, improve
and control the same.
We favor such reform in our penal
system as will separate minor convicts
and offenders of low grade from hard
ened criminals, and will reduce to a
minimum the competition between
convict and free labor.
We are opposed 10 all monopolies
md etrusts" organized and operated to
fix the price Of commodities, or to de-
prive the laborer OF the just reward Of
his toll. s. f. WILSON,

How And who Did The WorE9

At IL o'clock, Tuesday morning the
long contest ended and Gov. Taylor
was nominated by a vote OF 1881 as
against 2l4.
tits due to Gov Taylor and his
friends in the convention to say that
they made the fight for him without
bitterness towards any opposing can
didate. Not an unpleasant or unkind
word was uttered in the convention or
anywhere else so far as we could see
against his opponents.
Under the influence of the speech
made by Mr.. Vertrees and the paper
which he read when the last vote was
about to be taken, pa votes OF the
1929 were withheld from Gov. Taylor.
Most OF the delegations that oppos-
ed Gov. Taylor finally supported him
and pledged their support, and no
doubt most Of those who declined to
support him after all other candidates
were withdrawn will support the tick
ct in fact, this was generally said by
the Chairmen Of the delegations.
The support given to to Gov. Tay-
lor in the convention was Thing that
any public man might be proud of.
Soon after the first ballot this support,
with all the candidates on the field,
reached majority OF the whole and
maintained it against every maneuure
OF the opposition, with constantly
increasing majority.
When the nomination was made the
opposition practically ceased, and the
universal expression was, 1--WE will
stand by the nominee"
While the convention was a stormy
one, it developed both talent and tact
on large scale. The protracted, in
genious and long continued struggle
of the opposition, and the heavy as
) saults made on the majority, display
, ed generalship, but the staying anc
: growing qualities of the majority wor
the admiration OF all observers.
j. Nearly all the delegations were rep
0 resented by men who conducted them
selves as if quite accustomed to publ,
D speaking, and questions were, in man,
( cases, discussed with marked ability
: Watching the proceedings of tn
4 convention for six days, we came t
Q the conclusion that the Democrati
. party has in it at present, among tn
young men especially, a great deal q
talent, and certain staying qualitie
on large scale.-American.
