KNOXVILLE, TENN, oct. 6.-Hon.
George w. Hill, cambridge, Tenn.-My
Dear Sir: You are the Republican
National Committeeman for Tennessee,
therefore YOU are a leader of the party,
and as such leader and Committeeman
ought to be able to advise Republican
journalist i'll a controversy am having
with myself on question of party duty.
We have been placed i'll peculiar con-
ditiou in Tennessee by peculiar set OF
circumstances. The distracted con-
dition of Democracy led us easily into
a com bina alton with an element of that
party represented by Mcdowell ana
Buchanan tor the overthrow OF the
regular Bourbon organization, that ele-
ment being now known as the Third
party Pnpulites. Reasonable it has
seemed to me that those dissatisfied
Democrats, beiug weaker in numbers
and with feebler claim to the popular
support than the Republican party,
should have come to us without call; AT
least without much cnaxing; certainly
without a demand of terms other than
the broad promises of our excellent
platform. But instead of that we
have como to them and paid them
that is, paid Me Doweil, $4,000 in money
through our National Committee, of
which you are a member. to gain their
help in oVerthrowing the regular Den"c-
racy in this State, and to give the
State to Harrison and Reid. Having
been your supporter, personally and in
public print, for the position you hold
wAtpl
with interest your efforts as the repre-
sentative of the Republicans OF Tennes-
sse on the National Committee, ana
have been personally gratified to see
how earnestly you have sought to do
that which would bring us success,
break up the solid South, give us honest
elections-a force bill, if it must be
and to have All everlasting end of BOur-
! bon rule in any part of the country. L
know you have sought to do only that
which you believe to be right, but l APP
peal to you now to say, upon reflection
! if we have not gone too far in the com
promise of principles; if we are not dis
crediting the Republican party, which

ms, ESQ, Editor Knoxville Republican,
Knoxville. Tenn.-My Dear Sir: Noting
receipt of Your favor of the 9TH inst, let
me say to you that l have been doing
some serious thinking along the same
line. As the Tennessee member OF the
National Republican Committee, have
zealously tried in my feeble way to do
something for the success of our party
in State and nation; and have espe~
cially sought to impress the National
Committee that with proper aid we
could take Tennessee out of the DEM
ocratic column. / believe that had the
National Committee been as liberal
with Chairman Baker, of our State COM
mittee, as it has Jeen with John II. Nc
DoweH and buchanan, we could have
carried the State for the national ticket
with what funds we could have raised
among ourselves. But our friends in
New York were made by class of Re
Dublicans in Tennessee to believe other
wise, ard if they have furnished any
money i'm the State besides the $4,000

paid andto be paid, I, as member of
the committee, am not apprised OF the

An 1rEMIzEn STATEMENT

Whatever may be the division of
our people upon the question of rae
ing in the abstract, all will admit
that it brings money to the town.
Just how much, however, and by
what means, very few realize, eX-
c,pt in vague uncertain way.
In order To give the public clearer
couceptiou of the benefits Mr.. Jones
races are bringing to the town, we
will 70 into a little detail. There are
II &c hundred ho-semen in the city,
representing every state in the Union,
not to speak of the thousands that
will he here from the surrounding
counties of Middle Tennessee.
These men are paying from two
Il, liars to five dollars a day for board,
which ia not more than half their
Xxx uses. Every house in town that
en- or will accommodate dodgers is
flied with guests, and it puts the gro
c.r- upon their metal to supply food
for them. Many of these hOrsemeu
are millionaires, and nearly al OF
them have plenty OF money, which
they spend freely for whatever they
want. 1t benefits people OF all
classes, most of them directly and all
Of them indirectly. Dry goods mer-
chants would not expect to reap
much direct benefit, and yet one of
them remarked to HERALD report
er this morning that he had just sold
u free handed horseman a bill Of goods
amounting to fifty dollars.
These five hundred men have five
hundred horses with them, which are
kept at an average expense OF not
less than one dollar a day each. Put
these figures together and you will
find that these five hundred men are
spending an average of not less than
eight dollars day on themselves
md horses. That is four thousand
dollars a day. Counting from the
time they come until the time they
will leave, they will be here an
average Of twelve days, winch means
