Southern standard. (McMinnville, Tenn.) 1879-current, 1891-06-06
STATE PRESS OPINIONS.

Nashville Herald: The silence of
Gov. Buchanan is'as ponderous as the
buster of Inspector Mcdowell. Both
are deafening.
Nashville Banner: Gov. Buchanan
would do the State some service if he
would put proper limitation" on
the pardon mill.
Manchester Times: The Democrat
who goes to Congress from this Dis
trict next year will be opposed to the
sub-treasury scheme.
Murfreesboro Home Journal: The
scarce individual in these parts is the
man who is in favor of the sub.treas-
ury idea or the third party. Have
you seen one?
Chattanooga News Two alliance
governors-Northen of Georgia, and
Tillman, of South Carolina-have de-
clared against the sub-treasury, and
yet Tennessee's governor is as mum
as clam.
Memphis Ledger: II Buck does not
stand and unfold himself to his pres
ent mental status on the sub-treasury
scheme the Democratic press will
heave few sarcasms at him. This is
not the time to play the clam.
When the South undertakes to
build a monument she builds it,
whether it be in deeds or marble.
The chances are that the jeff Davis
monument will be finished before
the Grant monument in New York is
we'll under way.-Knoxville Tribune.
Huntingdon Republican: The Toll
er appears to have Eth B. Wade in
the nine hole. Eth very foolishly
wrote letter to Patterson endorsing
his opposition to the sub-treasury.
The Toiler proves that Wade, Nc
Dowell and Buchanan all voted for it.
Columbia Herald: Tennessee's great
triumvirate oflatter-day politicians is
Mcdowell, Wade and Buchanan.
Mack is for the sub>treasury, Wade
is agin it, and what Buck is no fell
low can find out. But when it comes
to pie, their appetites are very unani-
nous.
, GAINESVILLE Progress-Democrat: The
Governor can hardly presume to re.
main silent much longer. More de-
, termined do the demands for call
, become, and the chief officer of the
state cannot ignore such expressions
f of the will of the people. Let IL;
/ hear from Mr.. Buchanan.
There are in Texas 244,OOO farms
and about 1872, 900 of the male popu.
latiOn is engaged in agricultural pur'
suits. Out of this large number the
I Alliance claims TO have a member
ship in the State of $4,000, which il
one in every forty-fve. The Alliance
in its political aspect, originated il
Texas, and it seems to have made
mighty slim progress in the land o
, its birth. Chattanooga Times.
Memphis Ledger: Gov. Buchanan'i
{ position as regards the Democratic
= party is significant one. If he il
the advocate of doctrines and policies
: which are inconsistent with the party
belief, then he should make the fac
known. He should not permit slur
to be cast upon Democracy because o
his heresies. Those who supported
Buchanan have full right to eXpec
that they will find him sound il
Democratic beliefs. If he has others
let him make them known.
Chattanooga News: To judge Gov
o Buchanan by the friends he ha
q would be very hard on him just now
: There was Mcdowell bouncing al
: over the land trying to undermin
Democracy and now comes Bond, tn
:, fiashpan artist at Jackson, VIII
= will not say whether he viii
. join the peoples party until mex
February, and that he will bolt dem
O ocratic nominations unless they nom
mate his preferences. Gov. Buchan
n an has indeed appointed some sweet
l. scented nosegays to Office.
