J. b. JOYCE, Secretary.
II Gov. Buchanan had varied one
iota from the position he defended on
the stump as President of the State
Alliance and rs a candidate for the

The foregoing articles were shown
to Gov. Buchanan by all American

the identical words, but the substance
is the same as was breathed forth b!
our own eloquent flash pan orator.
At that time it was the proud boast
of the "patriot and statesman and

of the Ocalite. "Call us heretics, il

The whiskered priest of the secret
conclave said in a speech here, 1--WE
will insert a sub-treasury plank in the
platform, if we can; if we cannot We
will abide the action of the majority
and support the nominee of the con-
vention; that's what 1Oe intend to do.

And then he winked most killing

That was why for the last eighteen
months Mr.. Buchauan's first lieuten-

IL WAS not merely the infer Ell, but
the openly avowed purpose of Me

II never occurred to them thel
that all "eXtreme platform might dis

questions" 1t did not sugges, itsel
to them then that "a conservative

They were on top then, or though
they were, and were riding rougi

uSoNrE of the people," we are told,
swould like to know why the papers
are so solicitous about the fees pald
coil oil-inspectors; why are they so
.arousedp s'ail at once +" Aud we are
further told that 1.-The fees come out
Of the Standard Coal Oh Co." Yes,
the fees come out of the Standard
Coal Oil Co., just like the protective
tariff is paid 10y the importers. 1t
comes out of them, but it don'G stay
out of them. Catch a monopoly like
the Standard Coil Oh Co, paying fees
and never charging them to anybody,
will you? Well you may, but you
will never make anybody believe it.
They pay the fee directly to the state,
then add it to the cost of the coal oil
aud the consumer pays it back di-
rectly to them. Then again, this
complaint against these exorbitant
fees has not been made "all at once, I"
and the papers have not become
''suddenly" aroused upon the suI=
iect? "SOme of the people" are
better posted than ''some OF the
writer's" and they know that this
question of paying such enormous
fees to coal oil inspectors has been
live issue for four years at least. 1t
was as much talked about during
Gov. TayIOr's last administration as
it is now, and any man who does moi
know that, has not read any, or has 8
very short memory. And why should
it not be discussed, and why not com

consumers OF Tennessee pay any man
eight thousand dollars year to test
coal oil, when they can have the
work done for eight hundred? Anc
