POLITICS AT WASHINGTON

Rumors are thick connecting the
President with a dicker, or at
tempted dicker with the silver
men in connection with the bill for
the coinage of the seigniorage, now
awaiting the action ur nOn-acton
of the President. Some of these
rumors had it that deal had been
made with the silver men by which
the bill would be signed in eX-
change for the votes OF the silver
Senators for the tariff bill; others
that majority of the House
Coinage committee had promised
to report no other silver bill if this
one was signed, and still others
that an offer had been made to the
silver men to sign the bill if they
would promise to vote fer a bill
authorizing long term 3 per cent
bond issue. Representative SWee.,
of Idaho, a republican member of
the Coinage committee and a
silver man, was so indignat at the
rumor concerning a majority Of
that committee having made a
promise. concerning the future
action of the committee that he
prepared a resolution directing
that committee to investigate and
report upon the following ques-
tons: Were such assurances Civ.
en- the President? If so, did the
committee authorize them; an if so,
whence the committee derived its
authority? If such authority was
given by the committee who was
authorized to convey the assurance
to the President? limo action was
taken by the committee, then il
any number OF members assumed
to speak for the committee and the
House, that their name or names
be ascertained and reported to the
House.
Mr.. Cleveland is placed by the
coinage bill, as the saying is. "be

HOUK lMPUOENCE.

John houk had the impotence to
publish a card in the journal ask
ing all of the Gibson papers to sign
an agreement not to mention Con-
gressiOnal matters until after the
August election. He says he does
this in the interest Of the county
republican tickets, when the fact
is he is very anxious that nothing
more shall be said just at present
about the disgraceful proceedings
he and his seven committeeman
engaged in at Knoxville. He
wants things to quiet down and
people to forget the contemplate
fraud he has committed, and tries
to gain glory for himself in hipo-
critically asking the papers which
are for the nominee, Henry r. Glib.
son, to keep quiet in the interest
of the republican Candidates"
This is all stuff and nonsense.
He must take the editors of the re-
publican papers of this district for
fools. Why should they place the
name of the republican nominee for
Congress at the masthead support
him against all Others, whether
democrats or assistant democrats
who claim to be republicans. For
our part, we are for the republican
nomienee fol congress and will not
enter into any agreement with
any such an upstart candidate and
bolter as John G. Houk.
We are not going to have a
Houk rag tied over our mouths
We intend to say just what we
please and when we please about
the trickery and corrupt methods
of the Houk-Austin gang.
The republican ticket of thi:
county is all right and If it isn't il
John HOuk's county, he has made
it that way and is to blame. He
cannot lightly throw off that blame
for the condition of things ON t.
any one else by the crafty plar
proposed in his card. We have ne
fears of any dirty lying sheet JOhr
Hcuk can start. We have fought

start-Joe WINS AMI Dick Austin

LIKE the Devil, the editor Of the
Knoxville Tribune is sharp and
mean, in fact he stands only tecond
to that noted parsonage in these
accomplishments, and he is using
all his power in favors in favor of
John Houk and against judge Glib
son. He tries hard to drive repub-
licans away from Gibson, but the
republicans of East Tennessee are
as wise as the old serpeut himself,
and he cannot fool them as he did
Adam and Eve In the garden, al
though he is fully as sharp as ne
was at that time.

running for the Legislature, but we
understand he has decided not to
enter the race. 1t Is well that he
has, or he would have found out
just how every individual voter
in the county regarded his action.
II Mr.. Hale wants to 60 the legis-
lature, he will have to 60 to
Alabama and get Dick Austin TO
run his campaign for him and then
count out his opponent. He Is a
dead duck politically so for as
Blount county Is concerned. He
drove the nails into his own
coffin. His sleep will be long and
it is hoped peaceful.

KILL THE WILSON BILL.

The South Pittsburg Statesman
attacks our position taken in our
"Kill the Wilson Bill"
and says that we are still under
the Mckinley law. 1t is true that
the Mckinley law is still in force
but so it was when the democrats
made their pledge to reduce the
tariff apd to cripple the policy Of
protection. At that time the
country was in prospers condition
and had been for over year, un.
der Mckinley protection, and if
the free trade party which made
the pledge had been defeated and
the party pledged to uphold this
law had been elected that prospect,
ty would have continued. But the
party pledged to the obstruction of
the policy that had brought such
unexampled prosperity was sue

THE republican congressional
committee of this district will be APP
pealed to to go into the business of
exposing family linen-soiled linen
we mean political family linen.
The committee will decide wheth-
er that is neces sary, in the interest
Of justice, and whether it is wise in
good taste.
If solid linen should be found
hanging around in party corners
or dumped into the party wash
basket, it will hardly create sur
prise. There has really not been a
political primary election or CON-
ventien held by any party in which
soiled party linen did not cut some
figure.
But it is not in good taste to dis
play it to the morbid gaze of a class
of people who have nose for filth.
1t will do the public no good; will
not help the country nor the party.
Nor will the ends of justice aud
fairness be oubserved. Fraud
is charged in last Satur-
days election, and many things
were done that should have beer
left undone. But the pot is not in
a position to throw up blackness to
the kettle.-Journal.

THE hard times of the past year
will be greatly increased by the
passage Of the infamous Wilson
Bill. Every possible effort should
be made to defeat the measure
to delay it in any event. We can
better afford few months of un-
certainty than four years of general
adversely, suffering and distress.
Under the most favorable circum-
stances, the Wilson bill, if it be-
come a law, cannot be changed
until the summer of 1897. We
earnestly recommend that you will
urge United States Senators, ir-
respective of party, to defeat or by
every parliamentary method delay
the passage of this Mearure. On
November 9th, the people will
have an opportunity to speak
tn, ir verdict must be awaited.

panions OF such u fellow ~ John
Houk has proven himself to be.
True republicans will look after
the interests Of the tickets without
the help Of bolter, so Johnnie trot
out your paper, no one is afraid Of
your puny efforts to defeat both
the republican nominee for Con.
gress and the: party nominees in
Knox county. Republicanism and
HOukism represent two distinct
and divers inter SITS now.
The following is what the Knox.
vile Journal has to say about nc
cepting Houk's pronOsiti"n We
don't think John will get many
signers:
The Journal publishes this morning
a Characteristic card from Congress
man HOuk. 1t i an attack on the
newspapers supporting Judge Glib
son, with threat that unless they
lie low he v i'll start paper of his
own. That is his privilege aud he
must decide for himself So far as
the Journal is concerned, no candi
date controls its policy and none
will. 1t will do what its managers
thiuk proper and will not be bull
dpAel into TAX ng any course con-
trary to It's honest judgement.
So far rs the county campaign
is concerned, the Journal claims
ability to see what is right, and vii
persue its policy without being
muzzled by this or that candidate
Mr. Houk has no more authority
to exact a bond of silence from the
Journal than has Judge Gibson
and neither Of them has any more
authority in that direction than
any other republican in the dis
trict.
We have given place to his card,
in spirit of liberality, and charge
him nothing for publishing it, de-
spite its unwarranted reflections
upon the republican newspapers
that are supporting Judge Gibson.
the republican nominee. The
journal will try to take care of it,
f reputation; other republicans a. d
, republican newspapers in the dis
trict will do likewise.
What he writes on his card is on
its face an appeal for harmony; i,
, is, in fact and essence, fire brand
Mr. Houk may get out his singl,
publication, IS many copies as HI
; pleasts. Other- may sign all thu
written agreement, as to what the.
J. will do now or hereafter, they ma.
see fit TO sign. That ia their bus

| its policy, without diction from an.
source, and that is the policy it viii
, pursue, without signing any agree

JOHN HoUK's always thought
