cleansing and renovation lies before it.
The difficulties and obstacles it will

an integrity that a not be shaken, q

falters. 1t failed not when the people
were stricken with paralysis of doubt,
uncertainty and fear; it failed not
when the National were ex

up into the millions; it failed not in
the throes of civil war and when hos
tile foreign powers were secretly aiding
the armed enemies of the Union; it
failed not to wisely solve the intricate
and perplexing problems arising out of
its changed condition when it gave the
country a new birth of freedom; it
failed not to bring out of the chaos and
disorder wrought by the wild specula-
ton and fictitious values of the wal

The State Of Tennessee,

Is it not great2
mean, the peculiar government of
it just now.
A little over a year ago, when the
building OF the New Penitentiary was
mooted, Comptroller Harris opposed
the borrowing of money (S600, 000l to
cover the cost of its construction, and
gave as his reason that the money on
hand, added to that certainly and east.
ly in sight. would foot all the accIuing
purchasing and building bills, in add,
tional to the payment of usual State
expenses but, the 5000, 900 was Dor
rowed, and now m a startling let
ter from this same Comptroller Harris,
dated December 20, 1895, to the County
Trustees saying, in substance, unless
you can hurry up collections and make
transmittal TO me thereof in advance
of the time required by law, the State
will default in the payment of interest
on its bonded debt, aud cast u pail over
its securities for another decade. Isn't
that prospectivelv bad news for the
about to-be open centennial year Of the
States history
What's the matter 4?
Listen, kind reader, for the Comp
troller lets Il little bit of financial light
in on the subject. He says, and |
quote his exact language, I'm addition
to this, the expenses of the last legis-
lature were between $3.50, 900 and $780,
600 more than would have been appro
priated, had the same condition of af.
fairs existed as formerly"
What vas he new condition of af-
fairs referred to? Simply and nothing
more than, that a certain Peter Turney
was defeated for the office of Governor
as shown by the official returns of
nearly 1000 plurality, and if the true
and honest vote of the State could have
been ascertained the plurality against
said Peter Turney would have ranged
about 5000; but the interests of the
Penitentiary and Coal OIL Democratic
machine rings of the State made it
necessary that said Peter Turney, the
badly defeated, should be made and
declared Governor of the State in
open violation of the plain provisions
OF the Constitution and the spirit of
the election laws of the State: and so,
at the suggestion of II political Saint,
known AS McCorry, the Peter Turney
aforesaid caused to be put in motion
the partisan machinery of the Demo.
cratic State Government and succeeded
in unlawfully, dishonesty, and out
%rageously DISTINGUISHING several thou
sands of the qualified voters of the
State, resulting in two Things: First,
installing as Governor of the State a
man not elected. but badly defeated at
the ballot box; and second, saddling
the expenses of the operation on the
tax payers of the State to the tune of
80 many accumulated and piled up
thousands of dollars as to bring the
State to the verge, if not into the gulf
area of bankruptcy
This is Just the size Of it.
