OPPOSITION
TO MCMILLIN.
Talk of a Candidate Being Put in the
Field Against Him.
Congressman Carmack's Arrival in
Nashville Tomorrow Will
Prove ofInterest.
fridays American ]

The senatorial campaign is waxing
warm: likewise the gubernatorial race,
and interest in the contests will be aug
mented by the return to Tennessee of
Congressman Carmack He left Wash
ingtou yesterday and is expected to
reach Nashville this evening.
Congressman Carmack's coming is be-
ing watched with interest by politicians,
because he is liable to say something.
Several of his staunch Memphis friends
and advisers are now in the city and
will await his coming
There is new plan on foot with re-
gard to the senatorial and gubernatorial
races. Mcssrs. Carmack and Snodgrass
do not like the idea of Gov. McMillin
running for both places at the same
time. Congressman Carmack will not
be candidate for reelection, but on
the other hand has staked everything in
the race for the Senate. Chief Justice
Snodgrass stated yesterday that he has
no idea of running again for the Supreme
Court, and if it can be shown where
there is precedent against man hold
ing one Office and running for another,
that he stands ready and willing to re-
sign as Chief Justice of the State.
With this state of affairs, the two can
didates and their friends, it is rumored.
will vigorously oppose the candidacy of
| Gov. McMillin for reelection as chief
executive.
According to the present plans of car =
paign, so the rumor goes, a strong man
will be put out to make the race against
| Gov. McMillin for the gubernatorial
chair. This candidate for Governor will
be supported by Snodgrass and Carmack
men alike, all joining in the effort to de
feat McMillin. Many of his opponents
think the extra fight he will have on his
hands for re-ele ction as chief executive
will weaken him in the senatorial con-
test.
1t is conceded. on the other hand. that
Gov. McMillin will m IKE an exceeding Y
dangerous opponent in the senatorial
contest if he is re elected Governor Fol-
this reason the two other candidates
hope to dispose of his candidacy for re
election. For the people of Tennessee
to re-elect Gov. McMillin, after his Pu-
laski speech, in which he stated that il
WI his ambition to reach the Senate
the friends of the other candidates fol-
the Senate take it that this action would
be an Endorsement of his course in the
matter. On this account they believ,
that his election would be powerful
spring board to the United States
senatorship.
With Gov. McMillin out of the way
the race would be left to Congressman
Carmack and Judge Snodgrass.
Just who will be placed upon the con
templated ticket is not certain. Th'
friends of Judge Snodgrass and congress
man Carmack were busy about the hotels
yesterday presumably discussing thi
feature. Several names have been sug

Refused Pardon.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. March S.-Gov.
McMillin to-day acted on the petition
for the pardon of James Shaffer, who
killed William Guthrie in Sumner
county and was sentenced TO five years
for manslaughter. Great interest was
taken in the case, owing to the promi-
nence of the men, and formidable petit
tons for and against pardon were filed.
Gov. Taylor had committed the sentence
to three years. The Board Of Pardons
reported against the pardon and Gov.
McMillln approved their action.

difference is certainly not great enough
to make any man surrender his convic-
tions on other great questions to accept
him upon one.
1t may also be fairly doubted whether
a man with SO many erroneous ideas as
to the conduct of the domestic affairs of
the nation can be trusted to have right
ones when it comes to managing our
foreign properties.
AS to Porto Rico.
As to the question growing out of the
Porto Rican tariff, l believe the admin
istration made most egregious error, but
as Democracy is now constituted and con-
trolled it stands for nothing SO far as a
tariff policy is concerned. 1t has aban-
doned all the advantages of its position
on this question, by advocating in its sill
yer policy the very worst kind of protec
ton. Mr.. Bryan stands responsible for
making it a party unable to manfully
advocate Democratic tariff doctrine.
1t is to-day under Mr.. Bryan's leader
ship, party emphasizing q desire for
special privileges and class legislation, ap-
pealing for the support of every element
of discomfort by falling in with and ad-
vocating the particularly special legisla-
tion which such element stands for. Its
demagogy is manifest on every hand.
Raising the Boer Issue.
What thoughtful and inquiring person
can possibly believe that either Mr.. Bry-
an or the delegates at Kansas City are
really deeply solicitous to the extent
which it is made to appear that they are
| as to the alleged wrongs of the Beers in
/ A Hrik Tg I,
the thin disguise of a love of human
freedom, rights and republican form of
government, that Mr.. Bryan and his fol-
lowers hope for the German and Dutch
vote as determining factor in the cleo
tion because of racial affiliations with the
Beers and supposed race prejudice
against Great Britain, and not because
the question or the integrity of the Boer
republics is so dear to them?
1t is absurd that the great questions
with which we have to do affecting the
vital interests of the United States shall
be overlooked in debate upon how Great
Britain shall conduct its own affairs, es-
pecially In the face of proclaimed reaf-
firmation of the Monroe doctrine, which
means, properly interpreted, that the
people of the United States shall attend
to their own affairs and let European ma.
tions look after theirs.

IL Mr., Bryan was statesman and NOT
a mere declaimer, and dealt in a states
manlke manner with American problems,
we would not be treated to the floods OF
petulant fault-fnding and appeals to pre-
iudice which are manifest In oil that ne

solutions, grounded upon principles. ana
in accord with the facts of national his
tory and national experience.
Distrust His Wisdom.
am sure the American people rightly
distrust the wisdom Of one who thus far
in life has been a living expression, in
every address he has made of that best
definition of the essential elements of
stump speech, namely, to claim every
| thing and denounce well.
! / am not unmindful Of the fact that
there are many conditions in this country
requiring careful, thoughtful and states
manlike dealing with. There are many
evils to which labor is subject that need
| to be remedied. Likewise there are many
prejudices unjustly entertained against
capital but in neither instance can they
be dealt with to the good of all by any
one who brings to them none of the ele-
merits of a statesman and all of those
which wholly make up the successful
stump speaker and campaign orator.
Where Remedies Lie.
I believe that more of the remedy lies
without the pale of enacted legislation
than within it, and that neither labor
nor capital is benefited by public utter
ances on the platform, in legislative halls
and through the columns of the press tc
the effect that there is an irrepressible
conflict between them.
do not believe any man benefits hi:
country by being a preacher of discon
tent, strife between classes, social ant
political pessimism, financial disorder ant
continuous financial gloom, despite sur
roundngs and widespread prosperity, an(
therefore do not believe in Mr.. Bryan.

who stood out against them then ought
not on some new issue, which does not in
any degree lessen the danger of these for
harm, fail to denounce and defeat them.
| do not think that the fact that here
and there may be some elements more
conservative in the party than seemed to
be the case in 1896, makes any difference.
Mr.. Bryan still gives official voice to the
party's views, maps out its campaigns
and writes its platforms. Mr.. Bryans
intimates and advisers are still Populists
and self-seekers, with the added contin-
gent of Tammany bosses. He has neither
use nor care for any man who is con-
servative in his views or careful in his
utterances.
Effect on Gold Basis.
If elected President the public must be
prepared to see Mr.. Bryan as chief eXecu-
tive and those associated with him as
cabinet counscllors construe every law
bearing upon the currency and the pow
ers of the Treasury Department in such
manner as to nullify as best they can
its provisions in so far as they bear upon
the question of the maintenance Of the
gold standard. His Populist allies boast
that they seek power that they may bring
about the repeal of the existing laws and
to this end they are Mr.. Bryan's cham
pions and defenders.
He can and will keep the country in a
state Of ferment and uncertainty in an
attempt to bring about the larger use of
silver us a redem5tive money. The eX-
pertinent is too dangerous a one to be en-
tered upon by. any on the grounds that
the gold standard is SO fixed in law that
it cannot be disturbed, no matter who
may be President or Secretary of the
Treasury. The law ought to be executed
with a construction favorable to it to
fully carry out its provisions and not in
manner antagonistic to them. 1t is
not perfect law, but can be made so by
its friends. 1t can be made abortive by
its enemies once firmly entrcnched in
power.
Bryan and Recent War.
1t will hardly do for any sound money
Democrat or Republican to support Mr.
Bryan because of supposed better po
sition he occupies than Mr.. Mckinley or
the question of colonial possessions de-
spite his worst position on the question
Of the monetary standard, the Supreme
Court, the enforcement of law and the
right Of private contract Mr.. Bryan's
position can hardly be as satisfactory &
one on an analysis growing out of the
Spanish war.
He and his friends, in order to put the
administration to a political dsadvan
tage, urged on the declaration of wal
with Spain, and when it was over Mr.
Bryan, personally at Washington
through personal advice and solicitation
brought into line a sufficient number o.
! Democratic Senators to ratify the treaty
OF Paris, despite the fact that it provided
! for the purchase and taking sovereign
possession of Porto Rico, and the Philip
pines, without any provision for giving

known to be thoroughly corrupt, and a
constant menace to all the best interests
of good government.
Unity with Populists.
Mr.. Bryan hardly appeals to the
thoughtful citizen, with whom political
parties are only agencies for public good
to the extent that they stand for funda-
mentally right principles and honest adj
ministration, when upon the one hand he
is presented by the Populists and on the
other by Tammany. The joining hands
with one constitutes an offense against
safety in governmental administration,
the alliance with the other an offense
against political decency, making 1t
doubtful as to his ability, no matter how
strenuously he might try, to secure hon
| esty in the conduct Of public affairs in an
administration over which he presided.
| 1t is not difficult to predict what would
be the outcome of any administration
| based upon the socialism of Populism and
the rapacity of Tammany.
Reaffirming of 10 to l.,
| I am told that not a few Democrat:
who refused to sanction the nominee an(
platform of the Chicago convention viii
aid the nominee presented at Kansa
City. l doubt if there are many who will
do so. Why should they? The SAM
candidate has been named, the same doc
trines announced, only in more offensiy
way.
1t must not be forgotten that the re
affirming Of the principles of the Chicag
platform was the repledging of an inten
ton, when opportunity is afforded, to de
base the country's currency. 1t was re
assaulting the Supreme Court Of tn
country. 1t means realliance with tn
elements of disorder, as against the prop
erly constituted authorities of peace, in
tegrity of property and person. 1t is til
announcing once more of desire to sc
into power that the sacred right of pr
vatc contract under the guaranty of la,
may be abrogated. 1t is the acceptanc
Of those elements of socialism which wor
injury to both government and people.
In fine, the reaffirmation at Kansa
City was the re-asserting of the uttei
ances made at Chicago, which, revolt
tionary then, are none the less SO now
A source of menace to the country thel

Democratic ones, rightly interpreted and

licanism.
Denies His Democracy.
There is no Democratic doctrine pre-
sented this year and no Democratic can
didate. Mr.. Bryan was first named by
the Populists because he best stood for
Populistic doctrines. He was only in
dorsed by the convention at Kansas City,
called under alleged Democratic auspices,
because Bryanism, Populsm and Democ-
racy as now made up are synonymous
terms.
The combined forces of the elements of
discomfort of the country having gathered
in one fold and found without a dissent
ing voice a candidate so many-siued as
to respond with an equal degree of salts
faction to each ones peculiar ism, it
seems to me the part Of wisdom to meet
them in another election, and again dem
onstrate that the electorate OF this coun-
try in every critical time always stands
rdAdy to do that which is wise, putting
down the wrong thing and putting up the
right.

hope some time to see the Democratic
party re-created, advocating Democratic
candidates and Democratic principles,
but it cannot be more than a disturbing
force in the country's daily history until
it rids itself Of leadership which has
brought it to its present low estate and
ceases making itself the lying-in asylum
| of those elements of discomfort which.
| if once entrusted with governmental pow
er would work injury at home and loss of
standing abroad.
Advice to Democrats.
1t can live under defeat without com.
plete and ultimate destruction, but vic
tory gained by it with candidate holding
the views of Mr.. Bryan and a platform
/ pledging the party to carry out the things
advocated at Chicago in 1896, and in
Kansas City this year, would work such
results to the country that it would pass
out Of political power at recurring elec.
ton, without the smallest mnorities to
do it honor.
"Unwept, unhonored and unsung."
The Democrat who wishes to save his
party's future will only aid that end by
defeating Mr.. Bryan and burying his
platform. Its ultimate recurrence to pow
er and prestige lies in the independence
of Democrats who are such on principle.
and not through expediency.
