WE understand Houk at Louis
vile wanted to know what we had
ever done. Well we helped Blount
County give GIG majority for Glib
son and if we never had done any.
thing else, or if we never do any.
thing else we have helped do some
thing that will be remembered as
long as there il Blount county
and an East Tennessee. 1t wont
be long till people will be pointing
back W tn pride to the fact that
they helped down bossism in this
district. The children of those who
fought on the right side in this
campaign will point back with ex.
ultation to the fact that their an
cestors helped down Houkism and
uplift stalwart republicanism in the
Second Congressional district. We
are proud that we performed an
humble part in that grand achieve
ment. And We are proud of the
fact that we are among the num-
Der of those who are prosecuted for
righteousness sake for a kingdom
and Il blessing are promised those
who are thus used.

VOTERS DUTY.

The following taken from the
Knoxville Journal explains theduty
of republicans in this district so
cleary and forcibly, that we think
it needs no comments or amend
mepts:
"N0 voter is interested in being
wrong All voters are interested in
being right. 1t is the duty of every
citizen to stop and think before hn
goes any further. Let him ask
himself these questions: Ist. who
Is the nominee =? End. What is my
duty as Republican? 3rd. Do l
owe allegiance to the party or some
one in the party?
Let him be honest with himself
while he answers the first great
question. Who Is the nominee I"
Let him look at the circumstances
surrounding the case. Let him
bring his common sense into action.
Let him forget that he Is the
friend or enemy of either Of the
candidates. Let him settle the
question like he would lawsuit II
he were acting as Judge or juror
having taken an oath to do right
according to the law and the evi.
dence. If any man will agree to be
fair with himself and honest with
his party he will take one step at a
time and give each circumstance
its due weight.
Ist. Who got the most votes
Houk or Gibson? The answer is
that Gibson got large majority.
About l, 100. All admit this fact.
Then who is the no nine: There

DID BIount County sell out to
Judge Gibson? Was every man in
that $40 majority "sell out' be-
cause he voted against Houk ?
Was everyman who SAW fit to vote
for Gibson bribe.taker? Is every
man who worked and talked for
Gibson an unmitigated scoundrel ?
Is the TIMES, which has always
been counted an honest paper and
whose proprietors have had the rep
utation Of being honor able men, the
arch traitor, sell.out and wholesale
fraud that John Houk would have
the citisens OF this county believe ?
Is there an honest man supporting
Judge Gibson:
The Maryville times. (Maryville, Tenn.) 1884-1944, 1894-10-03

THERE has been number OF
men deserted HOuk since his
speech here in which he insinuated
such a lie about the TIMES. All
know it was a lie or H0uk would
have been only too glad to have
read the letter and proved the
truth of his insinuation. A mum.
Der of men who formerly supported
HOuk have come to us and Oul
friends and said that they knew
sch an Infamous SANDER was q
lie when John spoke of it and NJ
they had caught him in bold and
barefaced lie about one whom they
knew to be honest they were ready
to believe that no would lie about
Judge Gibson and everyone else
" no opposed him and that they
were done with him.

CAPT. j. p. EDMONDsON, an hon
est and honorable man, who is sup.
porting HOuk alone from honest
motives, stated to the editor of this
paper that he did not believe the
slanderous insinua.iOn Houk
throwed out in regard to us. He
said he would be far from using
such a thing as that in the cam
paign and that we would never
hear him saying anything of the
Kind against the TIMES. Thus
Houk's own supporters know aud
acknowledge that his charges arc
false: There are very few in this
county that will believe it and
those that do are the class Of peop.
lie whose minds are so low and
gro, ling that they cannot think of
any man having high or honest
motive for doing anything.

John c. Houk's Plea.

For Democratic votes in Blount
County. "He said he thought his
claim on the democrats was better
than Gibson's because his father
introduced q bill to infrancoise the
rebels" Oh! What q goose he
must be to think that intelligent
democrats can be caught on such a
hook as that. Why did he not tell
them of something his fathers ED.
est son had done for them. He has
had ample opportunity to do some
thing IL he kney what to do and
how to do it for both democrats and
republicans, but what has the eld-
est son done we would love to
know. A VOTER.

ALL the Rep. papers in the district
received letters from John Houk's
man in Omaha, Nebr., and nearly
all of them answered him just as
the TIMES did giving him the price
of their property. never thinking Of
asking the politics Of the man who
by his letter seemed to want to buy
a paper in East Tennessee, the
country he regarded so healthy. 1t
was a plan of John Houk's con-
ceived away back there by Dick
Austin, when he planned primary
election and the bolt Of his little
candidate If he should he defeated
by the people. He very well knew
what the republican papers would
do after the primary and his defeat
He knew they would Immediately
support the choice Of the people
and away back there he decided to
hedge against this fact by having a
man In the far west write and ask
II the newspaper men would sell
their property SO he could go around
and deceive the people by holding
up their letters and insinuating tha'
they were propositions to sell out

the character of all republicans
who believe it their duty to sup

JOHN HOUK in his TRADE here

ALL HONORABLE MEN.

Senator Gray, of the sugar bribing
Investigating committee, has made a
report in which he gives each and
every senator who has been suspected
of dealing in sugar stock, a certificate
of honor and thick coat of white
wash. This was about what it was
expected the committee would
do when it was appointed. But when
in the face of Havemeyer's testimony
that he was in Washington to look
after the interests of the trust, and
was willing to spend money in doing
it; in the anxiety of the senators to
give the sugar trust the protection it
wanted, and the desperate efforts they
have made to retain it; in the face of
dozens of facts which have leaked out
in one way and another, it is certainly
queer report. And most especially
queer is it that they can find no evil
dence that any senator speculated in
sugar stock in the face of the fact
that Senator Quay openly bOasted that
he had frequently specialized in the
stock during the tariff discussion, and
intended to again, and was sorry he
had not done SO to a larger extent.
But it would hardly do to strike at
him and whitewash the others as it
might make trouble. But it was not
intended by the Democratic leaders
that any trouble should be stirred up
by this investigation and they have
taken pains to see that any move the
minority members might take looking
to the bringing out of the facts, should
be frustrated.

DEBS MEASUREMENT.

In stating that he is through with
strikes, and that hereafter he will have
nothing to do with them, but will
turn his attention to bringing about
what relief possible for workingmen,
through the ballot Mr.. Debs shows
a sensible turn of mind, and that his
recent experience has not been with
out some influence upon him. He says
that he has found that the sentiment
of the American people is against
strikes, and he further processes to be-
lieye that the government stands
ready to put down any strike at the
point of the bayonet. That sentiment
is rapidly growing in this country
against strikes cannot be denied, but
that the government stands ready to
interfere in any strike is false, and
Mr.. DebS knows this as well as any
one. He cannot point to single in
stance where the federal or local gov
ernmentS have in the least interfered
with strike, If the protecting of
life and property from mob violence
which often asserts itself during such
a period, is interfering with strike,
then Mr.. Debs virtually admits that
strike cannot occur without violence.
The very courts which Mr.. Debs and
his associates are SO busy in abusing
because they enforce the laws, have
decided that employees have the right
to strike if they see fit, and can COM
bine for that purpose. What hurts
the cause of the men whom Mr.. DebS
has set himself up as leading repre-
sentative, is that he and men OF his
stamp persistently misrepresent mat
tiers in the way he has the attitude of
the government against strikes. They
order a strike to settle some griev-
ance, real or alleged, but they do not
accomplish through peaceful methods
what they desire, the men become
restless and the incendiary speeches
of the leaders stir up the more ire
sponsible of them to deeds of violence,
and because law and order is pre-
served, Mr.. Debs claims the strong
arm of the government is against
strikes. Never was there greater
misstatement, nor more bare-faced
peryerSiOn of facts.

DEMORALIZED DEMOCRACY

The decentralization of Democracy
seems to be pretty near complete. At
Washington its representatives hardly
know where they are at over the tariff
question or anything else. Here in
Minnesota they are pulling crOSSwayS
over fusion. The Democratic state
committee have pronounced against
fusion, and though that does not set
tie it, it will doubtless have consider
able influence. On the other hand
there are leaders and papers which
are calling loud tor fusion. The Min
neapolis Times publishes a special
from Washington in which one of the
most prominent Minnesota Demo
Gratis, whose name is of course sup
pressed, declares for fusion, not only
on the state ticket, but also on con-
gressmen. This demand for fusion is
simply an admittance upon the part
of those who call for it, that DemOc-
racy has no principle whatever left
w lOl, OlIA IllOlO duAlouc w oO-
cure the defeat of the Republicans
than in the welfare of the country.
In all this talk about fusion, it must
be admitted that the Populists have
exhibited more sense than have the
Democrats who have called for it, for
they have stood pat for all their
vagaries and wild ideas upon various
questions, refusing to accept any
practical ideas which Democracy may
have advocated in the past. AS be-
tween Populism and Democracy, as
Democracy has been generally under
stood there would be no question as to
choice, but between Populism and
Democracy, as the latter seems to be
drifting at the present time, and has
been exhibited by the present house
of representatives, there is but very
little difference. Free trade has be-
reft it of about all the good there was
in it.

SIrlPLY CHANGED THE MANNER.

And now comes Mr.. Donnelly and
says it's the Republicans who reduced
wages by demonetizing silver in 1873,
which he says reduced the money of
this country. Now Webster says that
demonetize means ''to withdraw from
use as money" But silver has not
been withdrawn from use as money,
but is more widely used than it was at
the time when Mr.. Donnelly alleges
it was demonetized by the Republican
party. More silver is used today in
our volume of circulation than ever
before in the history of the republic.
The legislation of 1873 simply resulted
in the changing of the manner by
which it has been put into circulation.
AS to the reduction of wages, it
is passing strange that a law
enacted in 1873 should not begin to
get in it's work until twenty years
after it was passed, and that such
men as Edward Atkinson, the stats
tician, and free traders like John G..
Carlisle, and his brother Democratic
senators on the senate committee,
which investigated into this matter,
should not have found it out, instead
of being forced to admit that under
our protective policy there has been a
gradual increase in wages. Funny
how these men came SO wide of the
mark, especially when they would
have liked to have had showing the
other way for the sake of little politi-
Cal capital. But the rank and file of
the people, who have noticed these
same things while rubbing against
every day life, will take considerable
more stock in their report and in the
Investigations of Mr.. Atkinson than
in the mere assertions of Mr.. Donnelly,
especially as the pinch did not come
until we were flooded with talk of free
trade legislation.
