THE OLD SILLY CHATTER.

If protection is so illogical, vicious
and indefensible pray tell us why it
was that when a protective tariff was
"a condition and not a theory" all
classes had more than they could do,
more money than they needed, were
contented and happy, and the aggre.
gate national wealth was more than
doubled.
And pray tell US, too, if the Demo.
cratic idea of tariff, which is free trade
pure and simple, is lust the thing"
why it vas that when the Democratic
idea went into full force and effect in
1898 there "a an universal crash and
tumble of all industrial enterprises,
money became as scarce as cow teeth,
farm products went down below the
cost of production, all value slumped
more than one half, and the working
men appeared in vast armies on the
highways ragged and starving va.
grants and beggars.
Annihilating defeats having exhaust
ed their stock of issues, and the Repub.
licans being in the sad lie, the Demo-
Gratis are resumiug their silly chatter
about business interests cooperating
and business men organizing to fix
the tariff schedules that they may get
fat rich at the expense of the people.
The Democrats seem to forget that the
people of the country have declared for
a protective tariff in the most emphatic
and understandable terms, thus antici
pating by months anything that "busi.
ness interests" or business men
might say or do. They seem to over
look the prominent fact that Major
Mckinley was elected President of the
United States because he is the recog.
nized leading champion of protection
and n superior genius in arranging tax
schedules on that basis. They could
not reasonably expect the free tradery
that has cursed and drained and dis.
tressed this country for the last -four
years to flourish under his regime, but
they should rather expect that the ex
pressed will of the voters would be re.
spected and their instructions objected
to even il business interests and
business men, should be elated over
the change from s~tagnation to prosper.

Maryland Gets the Plum.
Hon. James A. Gary Will be the
Southern Member in the
Cabinet.
The Part Played by Hon. W, P. BrownlOW
in the Selection.

The following special appeared in the
Knoxville journal of last Saturday, and
is presumed to be a correct statement as
to Mr.. Brownlow's position:
WASHINGTON, ID. c., February l9.-His
name is Gary, and he halls from Mary
land. The news ome to Southerners
here today, not as news, but as the con
clusion of a hard fought contest that re-
ally ended last Sunday, for on that day
a combination was concluded that did
the work.
OF course many Tennesseans are wear
ing black tonight, but while they have
lost, it took the biggest combination eve
effected in the interest of any Southern
man and that is their consolation.
Your correspondent got the story to-
night from a gentleman who has been
intimately connected with the combine
ever since its inception and his story is
confirmed by many facts that were
known by your correspondent. 1t is
probably as true as any history of any
stretching can be contemporaneous
events.
Judge Gary and Congressman Brown
low have been intimate personal and po-
litical friends ever since 1880 when they
were lieutenants in the campaign waged
that year to nominate John Sherman.
Early in November, Brownlow was told
by a gentleman just from Canton that it
was the purpose of the President elect to
name for his cabinet II man from the
South and that he should come from
Kentucky, West Virginia or Maryland.
fractional fights in Kentucky, growing
out of the Senatorship. soon excluded
that State from further consideration.
Brownlow then wrote to Judge Golf
and a%scertained from him that under no
circumstances would he accept a place,
his letter concluding of | have any am
bition in politics it's in another line and
| am not certain | have" This also eX-
cluded West Virginia and it seemed as
if Maryland would have plain sailing,
but about that time n gentleman went to
Canton from hat State and suggested
McComas, who was unacceptable to
Wellington and the Republican organi-
cation of that State, and this ere
ated friction. At this time, too, friends
of Evans began to wage a hot fight for
him. The history of that movement,
however, is familiar to Tennesseans and
it is not necessary to give it here. This
put three men in the field, Gary, McCo-
mas and Evans and several other States
developed favorite sons. Texas, with
Grant; West Virginia, with Scott; Geor-
gia, with Hanson Kentucky, with Boyle.
1t soon became evident that so many
candidates might kick up so much dis

TENNESSEE is n Republican State.
There is no doubt of it in the mind of
every unprejudiced and intelligent
man. The shameless iniquities resorted
to by the Democrats leaders to carry
elections proves it. The most conclu.
sive evidence of Democratic defeat i n
the last election was the bond required
of contestant Tillman as a preliminary
to an investigation. The ring knew
that wholesale frauds and robberies
OF the ballot box would be brought to
light by even Democratic testimony
and the fact would be established be.
yond all doubt that Bob Taylor was no
more the de jure Governor than Ii
Hung Chang of China. A very few
years ago the alleged Democratic ma.
jority was 100000. Two years ago Tur-
ney was beat near 700, and last fall
when the entire election machinery
was under control of the ring and the
election laws were wholly disregarded
at every precinctwhereit was possible,
the falsified returns showed only a
plurality of 1000 for the ring candi.
date. In q fair election with an honest
count, the Republican majority in Ten,
nessee would easily reach $1,000.
Herald and tribune. [volume] (Jonesborough, Tenn.) 1869-current, 1897-02-24

In connecting and formulating force
bills Senator Henry Cabot Lodge is a
mere tyro compared to the gang in the
Tennessee Legislature. He hash t
learned the first ru~dimentary principle
in the art of constructing IAN engine
of oppression" His ignorance of a
sure enough force bill is as profound
as the ignorance of the gang of the
injunction of the Decalogue, Thou
shalt not steal. Should the iron heart
ed Senator read the Tennessee Election
bill he will conclude that it is the
initial step in the movement of the
gang to introduce Russian methods
into the Government of the State.

turhance as to leave the South out en-
tirely and when this was discovered
they began to drop out n by one until
last Saturday when it narrowed to Gary,
Evans and Grant.
While all this was going on Brownlow
was hard at work day and night
for his favorite, Gary. AS fast as a IA
vorite son was withdrawn the First Dis
trict Congressman was on hand to catch
the national committeeman from the
sons State. Strong pressure was brought
on Grant on Saturday for the sake of
Southern interests. He stood out man.
fully for a time but finally gave in.
At5:43 Saturday afternoon a telegram
was received from him refusing to with
draw. At 5 :46, three minutes later, a
message came through the Western
Union office here running "Have wirer
Gov. Mckinley strong endorsement fod
Gary, of Maryland"
Thatmade the combine stand like this
All Southern members of the national
committee except one, three Senators
from the South, and all the members
elect of the House except Gibson and
Pugh and Walter Evans, of Kentucky.
On Monday Pugh fell into the Gary
column. On Tuesday a telegram was
sent to Canton by Brownlow, stating
the above facts, National Committee
man Webster, of South Carolina, having
also come into camp and informed the
President elect that Acknowledgment
be there on Wednesday to present writ
ten papers signed by the gentlemen
above indicated.
The sickness of Major Mckinley pre-
vented a personal visit and the papers
went by mail on Tuesday afternoon.
Gary was invited to Canton and every
body knows the rest.
Congressman Brownlow's friends to-
night report that he is feeling naturally
happy over the result, but not surprised.
For some time past he has been express
ing himself as absolutely sure that the
combination would succeed and it looks
very much as if he had accurate informa-
ton. Your correspondent has called
twice at his rooms to get his version of
the story but he could not be found.
a shrewd little trick came to light to-
day, but it soon saw darkness again. The
postmaster at Huntsville secretly re-
signed and recommended his successor
in order to keep Judge Gibson from nam
ing the postmaster there for four years.
Gibson does not sleep much, and it's hard
to catch a weasel, He turned up at the
postotfice department this morning, saw
the letter of resignation and then went
back to Capitol Hill and the cunning
postmaster will know this morning
when he sees The Journal that his name
is Dennis.
1t is generally conceded here tonight
that Evans can have almost anything
else he wants, but the impression also
prevails that he will not accept anything
else. He has already been First Assist
ant Postmaster General, and to accept
the head of a bureau would be no step
up and his personal business is too large
TO slight unless the honor is very great.
Congress, however, is almost sure to ere
ate the department Of manufactures and
if it should, Evans friends may push
him for that place and your correspond
ent is informed by gentleman who
stands very close to Brownlow that in
that event he will throw no obstacle in
the way of the man from Chattan ooga.
