Ne REPUBLICAN Plan.
a BaseIess Story Laid at the Door of
Republican Politicians.

One of the latest fake stories that has
been going the rounds is to the effect
that the Republicans have formulated
a plan to keep control Of the supreme
court by having some corporation offer
Justice Allen a position as their legal
adviser with the proviso that he accept
the position on January 1st,which would
leave the appointment Of his successor
to Governor Morrill,. The story is to
the effect that Governor Morrill, would
then appoint Judge Carver to the place
and by this means the majority Of the
justices Of the court would remain Re-
publican. No corporation is named as
being the one to come forward and offer
the judge the position.
And the only foundation that can be
ascertained for the story is the fact
that an attorney in this city said to
friend soon after the election that such
a plan might be tried. Justice Allen
said today in regard to the matter. 81
am sure have not had any such plan
suggested to me and do not think that
it sounds reasona BILE. I should not
think of such a matter at all In fact
the plan is amusing because it is re-
diculouS."

prejudiced to look at the other side of the
question, but being dissatisfied with my

nations was secured, because that could
never be accomplished. Therefore, I con-

AN APPEAL TO PopULIsTs.
They are Urged to Vote so as to Count for
Bryan, Their Leader.

Bryan Their Leader.
Ex-Secretary J. NJ. Lindsey, of
the Peoples party of Tennessee, is
too manly and patriotic to be in
huenced by Viceroy Hanna, or his
minions in the "party Of high NOR
al ideas" as the following appeal to
Populists clearly shows:
To the Populists of Tennessee, Greeting:
This is a critical period in the history
of our party. Will YOU vote to elect our
leader, William Jennings Bryan, or will
you cast that vote so as to count a half
vote for Mckinley, who represents every
thing that is directly antagonistic to our
principles?
This is not a question of Watson or
Sewall, but a question of principle, as
represented by our stardard-bearer, Will
liam J Bryan. Remember, ne accepted
our nomination. Win you sacrifice our
leader for few practical politicians, who
believe in business principles and not
patriotism, who trade with Republicans
after being denounced in national con-
ventiOn, and asking the women of our
country to save them from Populist mis-
management and misrule? viii you vote
so as to turn our State over to the Re-
puplicans? think not
Mr. Lindsey devotes over a col
umn to show that his idea has been
fully endorsed in other States as
well as Tennessee, which has the
approval and hearty cooperation
of James B. Weaver, Senator But
ler, Ex-Governor Lewelling, Kan
sas; Governor Waite, Of Colorado;
Senator Butler, of North Carolina;
George e. Washburn, of Massa-
chusetts, and a long list of promi-
nent Populists who are fighting for
and want the vote Of every Popu-
list to count for William j, Bryan.
Mr.. Lindsey concludes his letter
as follows:
Remember that John ?. Buchanan for
the last four years never raised his voice
III behalf OF our party. In the last cam
palgn ne neither contributed time nor
funds to your State committee to assist A
l.. Minis in his fight for governor. He
claimed to be a Jeffersonian Democrat and
only announced himself as a Populist six
months ago, after mathematical calcu-
lation that the Democratic party would
adopt at Chicago a single gold standard
In thatcalculation he was mistaken. Aud
SO will he be on the Sd of November if he
thinks he can turn Tennessee over to the
Republicans through a vote for Bryan and
Watson electors, which means q half vote
For Mckinley.
Remember Populists, two years age
yourcommittee had only about $3.50 to ruI
your campaign. This year is is different
Ask yourself how much OF this fund you
have contributed. Remember, two year;
ago your organ the Current-Voice, was
