In the Chattanooga Times of last
Saturday appeared a letter under date
of johnson City, giving an account of
the Republican Convention held in
that place on May Ia. The general
tenor of the letter is false, and the evil
dent idea of the author was to, if posi-
BILE, create i'll feeling in the Republi.
can ranks of the First Congressional
District, The charge is made that the
convention was a cut and dried affair,
and the only object being to boom Mr..
Brownlow, Now the fact as regards Mr..
Brownlow are that he was not a can
didate for delegate to st. Louis and
did not want to 60, but, in the judg-
ment of the men composing the con.
vention, he was deemed the proper
man to send, consequently his name
was presented and he was elected. As
to the assertion that "Brownlow is now
the saddle, and judging from his for
mer history, he is likely to ride rough
shod over any and all who may not
choose to become his devotees," we
have but to say that no one who knows
him but will regard this as the %silliest,
most malicious statement possible to
be made. No true Republican, having
the welfare OF his party at heart would
indulge in such CAB.

A STRING OF PONDEROUS DBLIV-
FRANCES.

III mas been thrust ruInleehly anu TO
norsely before the people of Tonnes
lee-that platform upon which Bob
was nominated for Governor by
reclamation. 1t discusses almost ev-
cry subject that could be imagined by
the broadcast minded statesman and the
liberal philanthropist. 1t is quite
in expression and reads as
rythmically and smoothly as the ode
of the most skillful spring poet. 1t
was certainly written in cloistered
shrine of some devotee to phrase weav-
ing and its melody attuned to the mel
low cadences of flowing wine. Still
when we read between coruscating
lines and remember what Tennessee
Democracy really is and what it has
done. we have no difficulty in discov
ering that this self same platform is a
hodge podge of bungling straddles and
meaningless -obsolete ideas
and exploded heresies in a new spring
suit of glittering verbiage. In short
the Democratic platform is a swamp
light of in~candescent rot to confuse,
bewilder and deceive.
When stripped of all its DISCUSSES, it
is a mingled mass of passion and preju.
dice, recalling the bitter memories of a
hateful past, giving the lie direct to
the plainest facts of history, and out,
raging every canon of political decency
and honor, and in proof of this charge
we have only to cite the fact that the
very first enu~nciation calls for the res
direction of the old defunct doctrine
of State rights.
This platform is more remarkable fol
what it purposely omits to say than fol
what it vaguely and indefinitely does
say. 1t makes no reference whatever t
the Penitentiary scandal, TO the bribery
of high State officials and the theft O
the Governorship. The honest and de
cent people of the State were extremel,
anxious for an open, candid and unre
served de%lieverance upon these impor
tant matters, either one way or tn,
other. But it came not. The conven
ton in its wild and woody condition
and frantic to coronate the spellbinde
Significantly ignored these infamie
that have been burned and SCARED int
its platform:
we heartily endorse the admins
tration of Governor Peter Turney
whom we regard as an honest, abb
and faithful public servant, etc"
Honest" because he has been apprc

"Able" because he can hold b.
