That Knoxville Congressional
Convention

That Knoxville Congressional
Convention
We have seen some lengthy arti-
Giles in some of our weekly ex-
changes about an immense gather.
ing. at Knoxville on the 10Th inst
We have also scanned the columns
of the old reliable daily the Jour.
nal, but have SO far failed to see
any CONNECTS. Consequently we
are constrained to believe this great
convention was like unto some Of
Gen. Weyelers typewriter victor
les in Cuba. We are opposed to a
few little fellows getting together
and debating to $4,000 Republican
voters in this district what they
may, and what they may not do.
1t is worse then rot and Mr.. Greer
is making a show of himself by at
tending aud encouraging such
meetings; and this whole crowd of
candidates that are after Judge
Gibson's scalp made such asses of
themselves 10 the last race by try
ing to see who could make the
most noise for Gibson, and in fact
could not treat a Republican with
decency who would not bow down
in tile dust and worship the gallant
Captain. Now this same coterie
want to ostracise every Republican
that is now for the captain. As
they were so successful then and
gobbled up everything, we presume
they feel equal now to decapitat
the chief. We believe as they do
that this might be done providing
we had candidate, but so far out
side of "Billy Buttram" there is not
a man in the field that can control
one fourth of the vote against Glib
son, and we believe Gibson will
even get a good majority over

CT bson Filed the Papers.

After reading what was said in
the TIMES in regard to papers not
bfing flied in the postoffice depart
ment. Gibson's private secretary
writes the following to the Knox
vile Journal: arr
AS there has been considerable
comment and also, publication in
the Maryville Times about Judge
Gibson's refusing to file the papers
of l.. S. Goddard, who was an ap-
plicant for the Maryville postoffice,
/ took occasion while at the post
Office department to learn the facts
about that, and I found the file of
papers there and filed on the 20
day of October, and J. l.. Goddard's
was acted on by the President on
the 9th day of October, showing
that Mr. l. S. Goddard's papers
had been ON file six days before the
/ appointment WAS made and / fur
Their found that there was not a
paper among them addressed to
the President or postmaster gener-
al and with the exception of two
of them Zone headed "To Whom 1t
May Concern" and the other "Thls
is to Certify" etc.) they we're all
addressed to Judge Gibson; Lrinci.
pally, if not all, were private letters
written by Mr.. Goddard's friends
to Judge Gibson asking him to en-
dorse Mr.. L. S. Goddard for post
master at Maryville.
The above shows that not an en-.
dorsement was filed, until after a
telegram had been sent to Gibson
demanding the filing of the papers
Gibson wrote as follows, Oct. 18th:
"Your telegram did not reach me
until late on yesterday. l have
sent for your papers and will file
them with the p. M. General as
you request Respectfully,
Henry r. Gibson.
In the Knoxville and Chattanooga
papers, Oct. IS there appeared the
following: "rhe charge is made
that he (Gibson) failed to file the
papers of l.. S. Goddard the Other
applicant" ~
Inthe same paper Oct. 90 there
appeared the following: "The par
ticular fight is over the Maryville
Office, which it is believed will be
settled this week. Gibson still re-
fuses to file l.. S. Goddard's papers
but Allison is bringing force tt
bear which will cause him to do sc
at once" ' a.'hl
1t seems from the above that Glib
son only filed the papers when he
was compelled and now wants t.
claim great credit for doing some
thing six days before the appoint
ment when it should have beer
done several months before.
Ii he was so punctual and consci
entious in filing one endorsement
just six days before the appoint
ment WAS made, we wonder 'wher
the endorsements of the other APP
plicants were filed? We would
like copy of the records on this
matter. - s''s" "'

THOSE WHO TALK WAR.

1t will be observed that those who
have been in the war are the last to
want any war with Spain or any
other nation. Whether it be a small
or large war it destroys human
life and property, and disturbs the
normal condition of life and trade.
1t adds to the vast sum of suffering,
and fills the homes with misery and
apprehension.
II those who want war could be
made to do all the fighting it might
be considerably different, but it is
the experience Of all countries and
people that the meters of trouble
are generally the first to get out OF
the way when the difficulties begin.
1t is bad thing to talk war. 1t Is
against public sentiment and public
feeling. 1t is the spirit of fight and
not the spirit of peace. Uncle Sam
will never fight until he is compelled
to because it is common sense, which
/ has made him strong and useful not
! only to himself. but to the world in
