A Possible Way Out.

Mr.. McMillin is not the choice OF
the Democratic voters of Tennessee
for governor. And for a snap con-
vention to say that he is does not
make it so. 1t may make loyal
party men vote for him, but there
is a large Independent element it
will not influence.
= There is one way out of the diff
fculty into which Mr.. McMillin
and his committee have plunged the
party; and that through an unin-
structed delegation. If the conyen-
ton, being untrammeled by instruc-
tions, would meet and select dele
gates to the national convention and
pass a resolution declaring it the
sense of the convention that it were
wiser and better to postpone the
of platform until after the
Kansas City convention, or the
nominating of a candidate until a.
platform was made, and fix a day in

Orders" to Democrats.

The Democratic party has
not said that this years con=
test shall be fought out over
the issues Of 1896. The party
has issued no order command
ing free citizens the county
over to instruct their dele
gates to Kansas City to stand
out for the vagaries of forty
years or Of four years ago.
The party has issued no
orders. The commands to
this effect have come from
self-assertive bosses, who
assume authority to indorse
in the. name of the party even
the wild doctrines of the
Nebraska platform and to
send forth their commands
even unto the people whom
they are supposed to serve.
Naturally the staunch men
and organs of Democracy are
protesting vigorously against
the effort of the bosses to
thus control the whole organ
ization in their own way and
in their own interest. "The
Democratic party, the foun-
dation principle of which is
individuality, declines as a
rule to follow the dicta of
gentlemen who are not will
ling to submit their pro-
gramme to the consideration
of a free body" says the Chi
cago Chronicle, a Democratic
journal. "They will name
their candidate and outline
their own policy. In the
Democratic party committee
is-understood to be a servant,
not a master, and the elector-
ate is very likely in self-re-
spect to do as it chooses, not.
as Senator Jones chooses"

convention, with an entire new set
of delegates, then the nominee of
the party would be safe.
Suppose, as old man Ralph Saun-
ders has suggested, that the Nc
Mlllin convention platform and the
Kansas City platform should not
agree; suppose the minds of these
great men should not run in the
same channel for once; wouldn't it
be rather awkward and stretchy for
our double barreled candidate to
run on a doubled arreled platform?
There is a real danger in this;
and it is danger to which the
party need not be subjected. There
is way to avoid it; and a fair way;
a way to say the least of it that
would show better politics, than to
let the committees mistake drift us
along and perchance strand the
party upon the shoal of Defeat,
when the ideas of November come.
Columbia Herald.
There can no good come from
trickery and sharp practice in poll
tics in these days, and those who
attempt these things harm instead of
help those in whose interest the
wrongs are perpetrated. People>are
something less than imbeciles even
should they be found lacking in
some of the astuteness of the poll
ticians. No one need be told that
Gov. McMillin had an early conven-
ton called for the purpose of secur-
ing the nomination for governor be
fore the rapidly forming opposition
could crystalline. He does not want
10 be governor and never did, his
ambition being to go to the senate.
As stepping stone to the sen ator-
ship the governorship is tolerable.
1t is an outer vestibule where the
postulant may remain while wait
ing admission to the inner sanctuary.
In default of anything better, it is a
snug enough haven. But Gov. Me
Millin's candidacy for both Offices
was not well received in Tennessee,
and this willy gentleman soon dis
covered the fact. 1t jeopardized
both positions. He plainly perceived
that if defeated for the governorship
he would be "down and out" all
around, because the governorship
will give him many elements of
strength among the professional
politicians which he would not
otherwise possess. To secure this
coign of vantage an early convention
was called; and this movement
would have been wise enough had
it not been so diaphonous and such
a fragrant transgression of the pro-
prieties. OF course it will be con
doned by the governors valiant
trenchermen, but it will not suit
the people who are hostile to snap
conventions Of any sort.-Commer-
cial Appeal.

Powerful Appeal From Gen.

John B. Gordon, COMMANDMENTS
Chief of the United Confederate
Veterans, who is on lecture tour
in Texas, attended the revival meet
ing in Gatesville, Coryell County,
conducted by Abe Maulkey, and at
the conclusion of the sermon the
evangelist called on him for remarks.
Gen. Gordon responded from his
place on the platform near the
preacher, is one of the most power
full exhortations, it is said, that has
ever been heard in this State. His
remarks were addressed principally
to the Confederate veterans present.
In most eloquent terms he depicted
their grand and glorious achieve
ments as soldiers in the service of
their country, moving his hearers
to the highest pitch of patriotism.
Then he made an appeal to them
to take up the armor of Christ.
At the close of this appeal about
forty Confederate veterans came
forward. A touching scene follow
ed. The old gray-haired veterans
crowded about their exchieftain, one
after another embracing him. 1t
was some time before this ebullition
of religious fervor became suffi-

finally came forward for prayers.

Party Duty.

We reproduce the following sen.
sible editorial from the Jackson
Wing of Tuesday. 1t will prove
very interesting reading to the dem
ocrats of Hardeman County, especi-
ally at this particular time:
Whatever disturbances may exist
in Tennessee politics is due to the
reign of the peanut politician.
This is true of both the republican
and democratic parties. To the
former we have no advice to give,
other than bid it godspeed on the
road to self-destruction. But, we
have an undivided interest in the
latter, and believe it the part of
loyalty to scouTge those who Prove
recreant to a trust,
AT the present time, ''snap con-
ventions" is a fruitful theme for
Tennessee newspapers, and too
much cannot be said along this line.
Too frequently executive commit
tees are organized with a view to
promoting the personal ambition of
men, rather than for a genuine, dis
interested party service. By this
procedure majorities are reduced
and party success is endangered, if
not made impossible.
1t must be admitted that the peo-
pie are primarily responsible for
these conditions because of an in
difference shown in the primary
organization.
The small man, ever with an axe
to grind, constantly mounts guard
at the doors of convention halls.
He is a self-created party patriot,
with the self-imposed duty of saw
ing the country resting upon his
narrow shoulders, and his business
is to allay suspicion until an oppOr-
tune moment arrives, when he
"swipes" everything in sight and
then appeals to party loyalty for
endorsement.
Tennessee democracy has suf-
fered much OH this account and it is
the duty of the voting masses TO
resolve now, to take a more con-
spicuous part hereafter in directing
party organization. Every can
didate for public Office is entitled
to fair consideration and party
harmony cannot be preserved unless
the same is accorded.

How Outsiders View the
Snap Convention.

The Jackson Wing says. "The
Tenth District Congressional Com
mittee is proceeding along lines
that are productive of anything else
but harmony. The prevalent idea
over there seems to be the "fixing"
of things in the interest of certain
men regardless of party welfare"
The Brownsville States-Demo-
crat says: "We are sorry TO see
the spirit of unfairness that is
dominating politics in the Tenth
District at this time The action of
Hon. Thos. II. Jackson, chairman
Of the executive committee, was a
surprise to those who have kept
track Of his conservative course for
a number of years, and his friends
are wondering why he deserted the
conservative element of the COM
mittee and joined couple of cheap
screws for the purpose of forcing
upon the people of the district
something they do not want. Jack
son came from a stock of people
who considered it a stain upon
their honor to wear breast-plates and
never attempted to strike an adver-
sary when he was down."

public servants as mere personal re-
tanners in political struggles. 1t
warns all who deal with the con-
ditions and history of the State,
that the people know something of
it's affairs, and cannot be deceived by
misstatement or false pretenses.
Ii gives notice TO the world that
Alabama is not narrow or unpatriotic
in dealing with national problems.
1t teaches the rising generation that
high attachments, pure methods and
freedom from greed, are the only
sure passports to the lasting esteem
of the people, and indispensable con-
ditions to the enjoyment Of great
offices. 1t proclaims that public
servant, who tries TO do his duty,
may remain at his post and trust his
cause to the people. The sweeping
verdict of yesterday means higher
and better standards of government,
that the party will be strengthened,
and a cordial unity and good will
cemented which has not been seen
in Alabama in years.

The great body of the people, as
a rule, pay but little attention to
politics. Busily engaged with home
affairs, they neglect or forget to
look after matters political, and the
professional politician, ever alert,
takes advantage of the opportunity
to rush through conventions cut and
dried resolutions endorsing men and
measures distasteful to the people,
detrimental to the public welfare,
with the false label of democracy"
upon them. Repeated doses of this
medicine-prepared by the profess
sional politician-in time sickens
the patients (the people, who finally
rise in their might and demand
new doctor and different treatment.
Every few years an outpouring of
democracy is necessary to purify
the political atmosphere. 1t needs
to be purified in Hardeman County.
Let every democrat in this County
rally at Bolivar on the 3rd of May.

THE report that the gold men are
making an effort to control the mass
convention of democrats to be held

ly false and is circulated for the pur-
pose of stirring up strife among
democrats. 1t is an appeal to pref
udice, pure and simple. 1t is the
last resort of desperate politicians,
who can read the hand writing on

who believe that the supreme pow
er is retained and directly exercised
by the people-and wrest from a
favored few a power that has been
used and abused in the name Of
democracy.

Gov. JOHNSON, who for several
years has manipulated machine pol
tiles in Alabama, has been taught q
lesson that he will never forget.
He was 4 candidate for the United
States Senate against Senator John
L. Morgan. Primaries were held
throughout the state last Saturday
to determine the result, which was
a Waterloo for Gov. Johnson.
When the legislature assemblies,
Senator Morgan will have II6 of
the 100 democratic votes. Thus
has proper rebuke been given to
the practice of sharp politics, and a
deserved honor paid to a gallant
Southerner, patriot and statesman.
Concerning Senator Morgan's victo-

The majestic voice of the people
has pronounced emphatic Judgment
on the issues and men of the hour.
None can mistake its deep signifi-
canoe. 1t speaks for higher and
better things. 1t declares that men
shall not mount to Office by vim

seeks to become its master. 1t con-

By a vote of 24O to 10, the lower

of electing United States Senators
by direct vote. This action indi-
Gates the sentiment prevalent

vote directly for all officers. A law
to this effect will eliminate dead
locks and contests, practically pre-
