EFFECTS AND THEIR CA UyEs

1t may be possible that the McKin-
ley law could have been more evenly
and equitably adjusted, with fewer
favors to one class and fewer hardships
to another, yet in the enlightened
opinion of those who have made row.
ernmental economy a life time study
it is a piece of legislation about as per-
feet and beneficent as human wisdom
could devise.
In a country like ours, where every
man chooses his occupation and invests
his capital without restraint or restric-
ton. there must be a diversified multi
tude of interests and enterprises and il
would be an attainment of the super
natural to frame a system of law that
would be an unmixed blessing to all.
Under the u%ndisturbed operations of
the Mckinley law there was no good
reason for any friction between en-
ployer and employee. There was no
enforced idleness and vagabondage,
Labor was content with its ample
wages. There was no glut nor depres-
sion in the markets. Money was album
dant for all purposes and easily OBJ
tanned. The prosperity Of the country
unchecked and unconfined was like a
majestic river flowing on in it's peace
full course and the sunshine of hsppi-
ness dancing on its tranquil bosom.
Strikes were uncommon, and when
they did occur. being without justifca-

agitations of wicked and designing

ties. The Homestead riot a few years

GUS distortions of historical verities
will not avail as q convincing and

the fearful and universal disasters that
are now crushing this nation into the
dust and grinding the very life out of
its idle toilers. We are cropping in the
Swallowed bog lands Of gloom, fear and
uncertainty, while we ought to be
rising and soaring on buoyant wing in

burst On our lips and a deathless cheer

An unprecedented era of distress is
upon every part of the country. The
shops are closed and the factories are
silent. The price of farm products
will hardly meet the commission for

say nothing of the expenses of produc-

occupation Of the American people.
The conduits of the circulating medium
are we'll nigh empty, and the ~''precious

j. L. %PEMBERToN, one of the Herald

nominated for Circuit Court Clerk

majority over a popular opponent, j.
G. Morgan, former Sheriff of the
county.
Herald and tribune. [volume] (Jonesborough, Tenn.) 1869-current, 1894-05-09

1T is with regret that we publish the
foregoing letter, because we believe
Mr.. Stuart in deciding to ignore the
action of the county convention and
run as an independent candidate for
Sheriff, is making a serious mistake.
His announcement in the Herald and
Tribune was Subject to the action of
the Republican county convention"
He went before the county committee
and pledged himself to abide their &C.
ton in calling the primary and con-
vention.
The committee ordered a primary to
be followed by a delegate convention,
in which it was distinctly stated that
the primary election vote should only
control the delegates on the first bal
lot, and that if no candidate received
a majority of the convention vote on
that ballot, the delegates should then
vote as they pleased until some candi.
date did get a majority.
These rules were published and
thoroughly understood all over the
county, and under them MI. Stuart
submitted his claims and was defeated.
He not only done this, but publicly
promised his support to Mr.. Hickey in
the convention.
In view of all these facts it places
Mr.. Stuart in a very undesirable atti-
tude before the Republicans of the
county to come out and question
the regularity of the action of the con-
vention. He was regularly defeated
under the rules that he endorsed when
he went into the convention, and by
submitting without protest at the time
has lost all claims upon Republicans
for their support in this contest.
His candidacy now can have no
other effect than to encourage the
Democrats, as there is no chance for
his election. Every Republican vote
given to him is equivalent to one half
a vote for a Democratic Sheriff.
Mr.. Hickey was regularly nominated
in conformity to the rules adopted by
the committee. The candidates all
went before that committee and pledged
themselves to abide by whatever regu-
lations they adopted to govern nomina-
tons, and no Republican deserving the
successor his party can question any
nomination made under its rules.
We believe in all future contests the
man getting the highest number Of
votes will be the nominee, otherwise a
primary is a farce, where there is a
multiplicity of candidates, but as that
rule did not govern the recent contest,
and yet has opponents in our ranks,
Mr.. Stuart can hope for no support
from Republicans who love their party
too well to aid Democrats to get an
Office in a Republican county by throw
ing their votes away.

To the Voters Of WASHINGTON County.

TO the Voters Of Washington County.
To the many inquiries made me by
letter from people all over the county
asking me whether or not l was a can
didate still for the office of Sheriff, l
will answer by saying most positively
that i am, and why should I not be?
l, together with other a~spirants, sub
mitted u claims before a Republican
primary election, pledging ourselves to
stand by the result of the primary and
now for me to decline this race aft, r
carrying the county by 1874 votes over
all other candidates it would be an act
OF ingratitude toward my constituents
and to the Republican party that | do
not care to be guilty Of. Had Mr..
Hickey carried the county by the same
majority that l did in the primary I
would no more have made the race
than l v would have done without sub
hitting myself before a primary at all.
What right does Mr.. Hickey have to
this race, even above Mr.. Martin, / will
askp Not any more, for l beat him
Just as fairly and squarely as l did
Mr.. Martin, and does Mr.. Martin claim
to be the nominee of the Republican
primary Not by any means. Again,
was not, in every other instance in this
very same primary the candidate who
received the majority vote, declared
the nominee of the Republican party 7
Then If this is true how can | be made
an exception to the rule and another
mar who received less votes be de-
clared the nomineep
Now, gentlemen, I went into that
primary election willing to stand or
fall at its result, and that primary
election says by 1874 majority that |
must make the race for Sheriff and by
that majority vote l am willing to
stand trusting in a liberty loving peo-
pie to help me tear from around us the
barriers of dishonest elections and in
trigue, and help me to maintain the
same principles laid down by Abraham
Lincoln, the great founder of the Re.
publican party of honest convictions,
of just principles, and purity of party.
Trusting that before the election,
which comes off in August, l may have
the privilege of seeing every voter in
the county, Fam yours most obediently,
