For these reasons am opposed to the
denomination of Governor Buchanan and
am in favor of the nomination of frank,
outspoken Democrat, who is a Democrat,
sound and true upon allquestions Of pub
JIG policy aud who does not hesitate to
publicly announce his opinions.
The pending contest for the nomination
for governor seems to be between Gov
ernor Buchanan and Judge Turney. /
have known Judge Turney from my boy
hood, he and / both being natives Of the
good old Democratic county of Franklin,
That he is a man Of decided ability and
the highest integrity, no one doubts who
knows him, and that he has always beena
bold, frank, outspoken Democrat know.
There are not now, nor will there arise
questions Of public interest that the hum
blest citizen can not ascertain what Judge
Turney's opinions are upon them by
simply asking He has convictions, and
the courage of his convictions.
While Tennessee may have Democratic
sons / could support with pleasure, /
know of none that l could support with
more pleasure than Judge Turney.
Now, in conclusion, l want to say and
to emphasize the fact that nay objection to
Governor Buchanan is not that he belongs
to the Alliance Ihave no more objection
to an Allianceman than have to Meth
odist, Baptist, or Presbyterian, to a Mason
or to an Odd Fellow, unless he belongs to
secret political organization. BUT Il
can not, nor can the Democratic party,
support any man whofavors unconstitu.
tional, undemocratic, and impolitc meas

amy man who refuses to say whether lie
does or does notfavor them.

WASHINGTON, d. O., May Z, 1892.
To Ny DEMOCRATIC FRIENDS;
My duties have been unusually arduous
during this session Of Congress on account
of the pension office investigation, and my
work has been confined in a great meas
ure to this investigation. The testimony
which I have adduced before the commit
tee will make more than athousand print
ed pages. have worked increasingly in
the examination of witnesses, searching
records, and hunting up the evidence and
it is not yet finished. | thought as my
Democratic colleagues did, that | could
not engage in more important work than
the investigation Of a bureau which dis
burses between one hundred and thirty
five and one hundred and fifty millions of
dollars annually. This with all nay other
duties has prevented me from writing to
my constituents much except in response
to business letters.
Ny attention has been called to various
publications in one form or another, which
are intended to defeat my denomination,
and several such publications have been
sent to me by my friends in the district.
| can not stop fighting the enemy in front
to meet every attack from the rear, and |
appeal to my friends in the district who
have stood by me in the past to stand firm
until l can return and be heard
If / have violated any pledges made to
the people, or brought anything but hon
or to my State and district, my record and
my reputation will condemn me, but mis-
representation and perversion of the truth
will not stand against me before the intel
ligent Democracy whose commission ]
bear. To them l hold myself accounta-
BILE. and to their hands l commit my per-
sonal and political interests, with con-
ti6ence born of conscientious discharge
of my duty as their representative.
The attacks of my political enemies ]
need not notice at present, but when at
tacks from my own political household
made with seeming regret, are made, anc
purport to state the truth about my con
duct as representative, feel that it il
necessary that the truth should be vindi
Gated. ] saw in the Paris Post-Intelligen
Ger an article charging me with the dealt
of the silver bill, and / brought the mat
ter to the attention Of Speaker Crisp, 81
that he might state the facts and dispos,
of the charge. | received the following
letter from him.
