Carmack at MurfreesbOrO.

Mr. Carmack was given an ovation
by the democrats of Rutherford county
at Murfreesboro Saturday, and his
speech was pronounced one Of the most
eloquent and masterful ever heard in
that county. The correspondent of the
Nashville American says, among other
things, in describing the reception to
the next senator
Many residences and stores had been
decorated in honor Of his coming, aud
when the carriage containing Ny. Car
mack and Richard Kittrell, chairman
of the reception committee, crossed the
bridge over Lytle's creek every whistle
in town was turned loose and the
strains of the brass band leading the
procession were smothered into silence
by the noisy valves Of every engine in
town.
Mr.. Carmack was evidently surprised
and pleased beyond expression at the
demonstration. The square was throng-
ed and hundreds Of eyes gazcd at the
man who has not yet reached two-score
but who has been virtually delegated
by the people of the great Common
wealth Of Tennessee to represent her
in the halls Of the greatest Legislative
body in the world. 1t was compli-
ment to Mr.. Carmack that he will hard
ly ever forget.
In regard to his speech the this same
correspondent says
1t would be impossible to do Mr..
Carmack's speech justice by reporter
in this connection. His grafton, for it
was one, is said by old aud cultured
citizens, to have been the best, taken
as O whole, ever delivered in Murfrees-
boro, and the impression produced GER
tainly iustifieo that estimate. Though
his throat was not in good condition, he
sustained himself for two hours and
had the closest attention possible. He
was eloquent, sarcastic, humorous,
brilliant and pathetic. Indeed, he ran
the entire gamut of oratorical effect
and swayed the immense audience at
will. He stamped himself in Murfrees-
boro as the orator par excellence of
Tennessee speakers.
Mr.. Carmack was particularly bril-.
liant and forcible in dealing with im-
perialism and expansion, and if Judge
Snodgrass wishes to make a show in
The comet. (Johnson City, Tenn.) 1884-1916, 1900-08-02

the wind-up he will have to abandon
altogether his position on that question.
Mr.. CNrmack's exposition of the dem
ocratic plank on that issue was closely
listened to, as it is the first speech
made here dealing with it. He ar.
raigned Mckinley in a dramatic man
ner for the part he is playing in con-
tinuing the warfare against the Fill
pinos. He described the protested ad-
vocates of imperialism for the sake of
spreading the gospel in way that de-
molished all basis for their contention.
When he said they sent cannon ball
as a missionary, with peace on earth
and good will to man" the crowd
cheered for several minutes.
Mr.. Carmack never makes n speech
without working up enthusiasm among
the people. There are two reasons for
this. One is that he is an orator, and
the other is that he says something the
people want to hear. - Chattanooga

For the first time prominent officials
are willing to admit tho probability of
an extra session of congress having
his assumptions of imperial authority,
Mr.. Mckinley will not dare to declare
war, and declaration of war upon
China by the other powers whose citi-
zens have been killed may be expected
any day. 1t has been limited that Mr..
Mckinley would withdraw American
troops if the other powers declare war
against China aud let the foreigners do
all the fighting, but tho American peo-
pie will have something to say about.

American missionaries has been fully

The fact that an officer of the Cuban
military government = Maj. e. T..
Ladd, treasurer-should have given
ont an interview in Washington, against
the. withdrawal of the United States
troops from Cuba and the fitness Of the
Cubans for self-goyernment, with the
usual rot about the "better classes"
being in fauor Of permanent American
control of the islands, strengthens the
suspicion that the announced with
drawal of the United States from Cuba
was made for effect in the political
campaign in this country rather than
with the intention of being carried out
in good faith. 1t is not conceivable
The comet. (Johnson City, Tenn.) 1884-1916, 1900-08-02

The tendency of this administration
to follow the imperialistic policy of
government without congressional au-
thority, was again emphasized by the
announcement cabled from Madrid
getting news Of what our government
is doing from freign capitalists, is not
pleasing to the average American, al
though it has become quite prominent
under the Mckinley regime-that this
government had offered Spain 800, 900
for the two islands of the Philippine
group which were not covered by the
boundary line named in the treaty of
peace with Spain. 1t is the theory of
this government that the executive
branch can pay out no money that has
not been specifically appropriated by
congress for particular purpose, but
that theory has been departed from
several times under the present admin
istration, beginning with the lump sum
of $50, 900, 900 placed at Mr.. McKinley's
disposal to prepare for the war with
Spain. That departure was justifable
under the circumstances and was au-
thorized by the unanimous vote of con-
gress, but there have been other de-
partures which were neither justifiable
nor authorized, and this offer to purch
ase more islands is one of them. 1t
was known last winter that Spain had
laid claim to those two islands, but in
stead of referring the matter to con-
gress, the administration announced
that Spain had been notified that its
claim would not be recognized. That
was supposed to haye ended the matter
until the Spanish government informed
the world that this government had
offered to pay 800, 900 for the islands
If congress was not republican in boil
branches and thoroughly dominated by
the imperial administration, it would
call down this unconstitutional usurpa
ton of authority, aud demand to know
from what fund this 100000 is to b,
taken. There is an emergency fund q
the disposal of the administration, bu
it is certain that those who voted to ap
propriate it never contemplated the u.s.
of any portion of it for the purchase o
islands. Ii this republic is to be pre-
served as established, government
must be put in power that will follow
the precepts laid down by the constitu
ton, which the democratic platform
pledges Bryan and Stevenson to do
Senator Vest was right when he de
clared that the great issue of THIS cam
paign was republicor empire, with tn
democratic party standing for the re
public and the republican party stand
ing for the empire.

The retirement of Governor McMil-
lin from the senatorial contest removes
the last element of doubt as to the re-
suit, though, as for that, it had already
become practically certain that Car
mack would win. Mr.. Snodgrass has
never been a serious factor in the race,
and now that the Kansas City conven-
ton has made antagonism to his imper-
ialistic views the paramount issue Of
the campaign, the last prop is knocked
from under HE senatorial aspirations,
