the Hope and Expectation of
Defeating the Democratic
Ticket.
10 Editor of the Knoxville Republican
Takes No Stock i'm the Scheme
Opposes 1t.
NEw York, Nov. I.-One Of the annoy
ices that Chairman Garter of the republi-
n national committee has been suffering
om during the last few days has been the
posure of his scheme to seoure Tennessee
giving $500 to the peoples party down
ere. and making this excuse for not Civ
& anything to the regular republican ma
inc. The $4,000 was paid over In behalf
the republican national committee to
cDowell. the leader of the peoples party
Tennessee. The whole matter came out
rough a COR dependence between j. j.
ans, editor of the Knoxville Republican.
I'D G. M. Hill. the republican national
bmmitteeman from Tennessee. Mr.. Hill
benly repudiates the scheme, says ii is all
ronR. and expresses the fear that mas
uoh as the leaders Of the third party sold
lt once they will sell out again. National
Committeeman Hill says that the fifteen
kousand-doIlar scheme is losing the oppo-
tion to the democracy votes every day.
In reference to this matter United States
enator William b.. Bate wrote a letter to
DO democratic national committee. II was
sceived yesterday. and ia as follows:
1.-THE correspondence between Hill and
rams speaks for itself. Could the proposed
pmbination have been carried out with
hything thing like unanimity the demo-
rats might have lost the state. Now. how
Yer, many Of the best element of tho third
arty are leaving it and reunitine with
neir old-time friends, the democrats. The
kposure Of Wholesale bribery and corrup-
on disintegrates the opposition.
weaver is also very Objectionable to our
eople, which tends to the advantage of our
ational ticket. Cleveland and Stevenson
i'll carry the state by q very handsome
aaiority, and I believe in spite of com
ines we will elect u democratic majority.
bur state Is thoroughly canvassed, and
enator Harris. our congressman, and l
AVE been stamping vigorously"
In his letter to Editor 1vans, Republican
Rational Committeeman Hill, of Tennessee,
avs, in reference to the plan of campaign,
hat was adopted BY Mr.. Carter:
II believe that had the national commit
be- been as liberal to Chairman Baker of
ur state committee. RS it had been with
ohm II. Mcdowell and Buchanan, we could
ave carried the state for the national
cket with what funds we could have raised
mong on selves. But our friends in New
ork were made by a class of republicans
h Tennessee to believe otherwise. and if
hey had furnished any money in this state
esides the $4,000 paid Mcdowell or. as
on stated, partly paid and to be paid. l. as
member of the. committee, am not ap-
brised of the fact.
II confess to you that l have had misRiv-
[nes of Mcdowell and the isms of which
GU write ever since Chairman Baker first
Informed of the deal with him, and / have
lot at any time had faith in it, or ceased to
eel that it would WIND up with a farce, if
lot absolute harm. Up here in my country
We believe in strict patty politics. II a man
q a republican, he is a thoroughbred. If a
democrat, We know it without asking his
heiQhbors to tell us.
~ have not hesitated to join in any eff
Tort to dethrone b~ourbonism in tennessee,
Ind have spent largely of my W private
means for that purpose. l have been, and

more too; put l think with you that there ia a
Hanger line in politics; that we have got
hncomfol tably close to it, and ought to get
hway from it as quickly as we can in order
10 preserve our principles by standing out
n bold opposition to McDowellism, Buch-
lnanism, third partyism, Ocalaism, etc.
when the national committee agreed to
give this money to Mcdowell 1T was with
but my knowledge, counsel, or advice, but
when apprised of it later on by Chairman
Baker and udmonishod that it was none OF
Inv business, / acquiesced in the bargain,
Feeling that any port would give me relief
n a storm: that almost any device We
might arrange to gain control OF the state
land repeal the infamous election laws
would be fair, on the doctrine that all is
fair in war. and that it might result in
good.
But all the time / mistrusted Mcdowell.
|Lf he would sell out to US, might he not sell
|ls out a little later on? Still, after the
bargain was made, and part of the moAey
bald, and when | saw Buchanan's indie
| endent announcement. as in part provided
For, | had hope that it might pull us through
without harm to US, believing, of course
Ehat we would not be cut off with no other
help from the national committee Than that
given to him. .
Answering your question direct, ! think
lie was all q mistake. l believe 1t viii cost
lis costing us votes in Tennessee. 1t is very
embarrassing, and | hardly know what to
|say to you about it more thnn what have
indicated in our several conversations anc
what / nave written above. l wish now that
Ii had destroyed the scheme as soon as
of it, by protesting against the pay
|ment of the money to Mcdowell.
Before closing l want to say that thu
matter is no longer a secret. and wherever
l have an opportunity l intend to wan on
people to rave nothing more to do with i
but to stick to the republican party"
That must please Mr.. Carter.
