Some people are too anxious to save
when buying watch, thinking that
cheap one will do as we'll AS n good
watch, and that all the difference In
watches is in the price. May be it
requires moral effort on your part
to pay us $1,000 for plain looking
but honest time-keeper, when some
body else generously offers You q
gold watch for $3.50 and-just for
goodness sake-throws in q gold chain
and charm. or course it is all q
tame schwindcl," as the Jew said
when he went up in balloon and
couldn't find the silver lining OF the
cloud. 1t happens every now and
then that q person sends off for such
Il gold watch, gets it, and then loses
faith in watches and humanity for
ever and ever and ever. We think it
would pay you to call on US and see
if we have what you want, and ii we
can't suit you, at all, out OF u large
stock of fine watches, why-it is time
enough then to send out of town for
$3.50 gold watch.

I'VE condemn the policy of build

vate fortunes by means of largesses
from the public treasury. While
we favor liberal expenditures for
pensions, we utterly condemn the
reckless granting of pensions to six
ty-day suffers, camp followers, and
bounty jumpers, and the making of
the whole pension system a huge
machine for the distribution of
party spoils.
We condemn it as a part of the
general policy Of the Government
under the Republican rule to drain
the South Of its wealth and carry it
to more favored sections.
eve favor the enactment of a
law levying a graduated tax upon
the swollen incomes Of the rich to
be held as a trust fund for the pay
ment Of PENSIONS
eve favor a currency Of gold, sill
yer, and Of paper convertible into
coin at the option of the holder, and
in such amount as will meet the bus
mess necessities Of internal trade
and commerce among the people;
and we further favor a parity of the
two metals as q commercial unit of
value, as a legal tender for the pay
ment Of all debts, both public and
private, as existed under the laws of
the United States down to the in
famous and surreptitious demone-
tization Of silver in 1873 by the Re-
publican party; and we further ia
vor the continued coinage Of both
silver and gold bullion in such man

shall be equal to every other dollar.

Carmack. Judge Hurt, Of Henry
County, asked as a special privilege
that "the man who downed Nc
Dowell be brought out" and after
ward introducing him, wittily said:
" We are through with the worst of
them"
Mr.. Carmack emphasized the
statement of Judge Hurt that the
worst days were passed and the
scalps alone remained to be taken
from the field Of battle.
He eulogized Mr.. Cleveland and
declared that Tennessee should in
struct her delegates to support the
man who represented true Democ-
racy and tariff reform, and would
be the party's next nominee.
Thomas r. Myers stated that the
committee on credentials would not

THE PLATFORM.
The committee on platform and
resolutions then appeared and pre-
scented thefollowing platform which
was adopted amid the widest en-
thusiasm by reclamation;
We, the Democratic party OF
Tennessee, in convention assem-
bled, believe that the powers dele
gated by the people should be
strictly construed; that the auton-
omy of the States and the rights
of local self-government and home
rule should be jealousy guarded;
that no money should be taken
from the people under any pretext
for other than public purposes;
chat the strictest economy should
be exercised in all governmental
expenditures, whether local, State,
or National; that legislation should
be confined to the legitimate OBJ
jects of government; that public
Office is a solemn public trust We
are uncompromisingly opposed tc
the enlargement and concentration
of federal powers; to the usurpa-
alton 10y the central government
Of the functions of the States; tc
bounties and subsidies in every
form; to every species Of class leg.
islation and government partner
ship with private enterprises; to
the whole theory and practice Of
paternalism.
"The Democratic party is The
fast friend Of the farmer and labor
ing men. We recognize the fac
that they are unjustly burdened
and we sympathize with them in al
proper attempts at relief; but W,
/, regard as illusory, impracticable
and unconstitutional all such meas

points, and therefore, in utmos

Jules A. Taylor, of Shelby Coun-
ty; D. d. Anderson, of -Bnox, 80.
Bradford, Of Davidson r. M, Bar
ton, of Hamilton; MT. Bryan, Of
Davidson; John Allison, of David
son; John w. Childress, of Marion;
and Robert Burrows, Of Washing
ton, were placed in nomination for
delegates. A votewas taken which
resulted in the election Of Messrs.
Taylor, Bradford, and Anderson.
J. G. Bradford acknowledged
cali for a speech in terms of faith in
the coming proceedings at Chicago.
He declared that this convention
was like a family reunion, and he
believed that next November the
Democracy of the State and Nation
would be in the ascendency.
d. d. Anderson also acknowl-
edged call and said that his Dem
ocratic heartswelled with pride and
when in the convention at Chicago
if no one else would do it he would
himself nominate Grover Cleve-
! land.
Jules A. Taylor spoke from the
rear Of the house and returned his
thanks forthe honorconferred upon
him. In voting atthe Chicago con-
yention for Cleveland, Tennessee
would be regarded by the country
as having done her fuIland proper
duty.
Col. P. P. Pickard moved that the
candidates receiving the next high.
est votes be declared alternates.
Carried, and Messrs. Bryan, Bar
ton, Childress, and Allison, having
received the next highest number,
were declared regular alternates to
Chicago.
: ELECTORS CHOSEN.
, Frank P. Bond was elected cleo
: tor for the State at large by accla-
| nation, in,spite Of an honest effort
1 to withdraw his name. The con-
: vention finally listened to him, and
4 for reasons he held sacred he was
S excused regretfully.
Ex-Governor Robert L. Taylor
+ was nominated by James III. Bible,
s of Hamilton County. His nomina-
!. ton was very favorably received,
c and he was elected by reclamation,
d General j. d. G. Atkins took the
5, stand and said he was instructed

IT trict to present the name of a gen

ii Sumner County was for Games M

es been seconded the ballot was begun
+ When the result was announced
" and John M. Taylor was declared

unanimous.
Colonel Taylor arose in his chain

Kne.diar CLAY with Els Feet.

KnesdiaE CLAY with Els Feet.
One of the oldest features in the proc
ess of making glass is the construction
of the ''pots" or crucibles in which the
raw materials are fused into glass ready
for the blowpipe. These pots, which
are dome shaped, about four feet high
and half as much in diameter, are made.
of clay, which is principally imported
from Germany, although an article has
been discovered in the state of Missouri
which serves the purpose measurably
well. Men are at work constantly max
ing these pots, for supply of well sea-
soned ones must be kept on hand ready
for immediate use.
One of the workmen-and very i'm
portant one-is constantly employed in
kneading the moistened clay to bring it
into a condition Of requisite tenacity,
and this work oddly enough he does
with his bare feet, treading the yielding
mass back and forth with peculiar side
long steps all day long for a period OF
three weeks to each ''batch." No ma
chinery has ever been devised which can
supplant this primitive process of work
ing the clay into proper condition, and
the old man saw at work will doubt
less tread backward and forward in his
box of clay as long as he performs any
earthly labor.-Alfred Mathews in Pitts
burg Dispatch.

Won s1o,tke as a str.ter,.t.

As skillful. untiring and farseeing
organizer of the means which make sue
cess in war Moltke has never had an
equal and probably can never have =
superior. The unequaled success of the
efforts on his part and that of his coad-
jutor, Won Room, to perfect the national
preparedness for war produced the re-
suit that while these two lasted Ger
many would find in no European power
an equal antagonist.
Still less did any power produce
strategist who gave proof Of ranking as
Moltke's peer. Thus it is impossible to
gauge the full measure Of his potentiali-
ties. He may have had reserves of
strategical genius which were never
evoked. It is impossible to determine
whether in the Franco-G German war he
put forth his full strength, or only so
much of it is was proportionate to the
requirements suggested by the known
inferiority of the adversary.
