OUR POSITION.

Mr.. Lindsay says in his last
weeks paper speaking about the
congressional race: ave have our
views as to who the nominee Is, and
those views are not unknown"
Soon after the primary he express
ed himself In favor of Judge Gibson
as the nominee. We do not know
wheather he changed his mind or
not after the disgraceful fraud Of
the congressi onal committee. If
he did we have not heard of it so
we conclude he means to stand by
the people, therefore we withdraw
opposition TO Mr.. Lindsay, but we
do not agree with him as to the
ACCESSIBILITY of keeping quiet, at all
times, between now and August,
upon congressional matters. Sill
he has right to his opinion and we
have right to ours and as he is
the republican nominee we place
his name in the republican ticket.
While we do not approve of all of
Bart's actions in the past, yet we
do believe in his republicanism
and therefore we accord him our
support as the nominee so long as
we can be satisfied that he does not
mean 10 betray the people and
follow the fortion of would be
boss, political tricRster and con-
summate fraud. If we are ever
convinced that he means to 60
back on the voice Of the people, in
resard to any of the republican
nominations, we will then be in
favor Of recinding our instructions
for him and nominating some other
man, for if he does this he will then
no longer be fit 10 be the republican
nominee. This is our position and
We cannat help who it pleases, or
displeases. The time has come for
the people to have their own ideas
and also to "sit down upon" all who
are not with them. Down with
bossism! The people of this dis
trict have had enough of it and
will crush in their righteous in
digna'ion every one who opposes
them.

A PARTY of young women from
Rhode Island are in Washington
to protest against the passage of
the Wilson Bill. These young
women out of work and with no
way to support themselves and, in
many cases, their widowed mothers
ought to have some weight with
the tariff smashing and factory
destroying party now in power,
but it will not heed the cry of dis
tress going up all over the land.
Their little picnic will be forever
over as soon as the people get a
chance at them.

AN IDOL is DYING.
The following letter appeared in
the Knoxville Journal:

The following letter appeared in
the Knoxville Journal:
Maryvil.e Tenn, March 26, '94.
l would like to express my self
through the Journal concerning
the action of that committee Of
vote stealers, ana their "boss," John
G. Houk and Dick w. Austin, who
have stolen that which justly be-
longs to another. l. can not fluid
language in my vocabulary to ex-
press the contempt l have for these
ballot box suffers and throwers out
of honestly cast votes.
AS for John c. Houk / will notice
briefly, his letter in the Journal of
March 23d, in which he falsifies
from the first sentence to the close
of the letter, except the statement
in which he says he is engaged in a
contest that will involve his future
political existence. | certainly
agree with him in this statement;
for l think his political grave has
already been dug by this narrow
contracted prusilanimous thieavish
committee assisted by Dick Austin
and John Houk himself, and the
funeral will take place little later
and there will be no "Mourners to
60 about the streets"
If his record as a republican is
clear, it has stain upon it at tais
time that will never be removed.
l will invert hiss statement in
which he asserts "that no honora-
BILE man will question his republi.
canism, "and say that the honorable
men who do not question his repub.
licanism are like angels visits to the
earth, Tew and far between" We
are compelled to disbeieve his as.
sertion that his party success is
above his own ambition. AS 10 the
action of that committe we peopl;
over here in Blount, where we hole
fair elections, are free to say tina
it is genuine case of midnigh
robbery that would put to shame
the very devil himself and cause
him to skulk off to one corner o

the act OF telling his associates that the
brunt OF the battle would fall

idea has been to represent
the intel ectual characteristics OF the

cal. The height Of the horse is six feet
six inches to the withers, and the en-.
t re height of the statue Is seventeen
feet. The horse stands on a we'll de-.

Gen. Hancock Is represented seated
in the saddle in a position which Capt.
Ward, VINO was his aid during the
war, has prom ounccd very characteris-
tic. There is no sword or other ap-
purtenance, the purpose being to make
the statue broad and dignifed in

looking out over the field. The horse
has three feet on the ground and one
