MUST STAND OR FALL TOGETHER

Q.-The Republican politicians say
the court will hold the 9Th section or
the grandfather clause, so-called. of
the amendment unconstitutional, and
the 4th section, or the educational
qualiticatiOnal clause, Constitutional
Is there any truth in this statement?
A.-AbSolutelv none whatever
This is altogether the most absurd
position the Republican politicians
have taken against the amendment
Every tyro in the law knows that
when SEVERAL SECTIONS or pro-
visions of a law constitute PARTS OF
ONE GENERAL SCHEME of legisla-
ton. so that those voting for it,
would not likely have voted for ONE
PART or SECTION without the other
parts or sections, the WHOLE MUST
STAND OR FALL TOGETHER More
over, the people are going to vote for
ONE AMENDMENT. not for TWO or
THREE SEPARATE AMENDMENTS
They are going to vote for the WHOLE
AMENDMENT and NOT FOR DE
TACHED PARTS OR SECTIONS OF
THE AMENDMENT. The courts can
not say to the people: "We will
MAKE YOU take HALF OF WHAT
YOU HAVE VOTED FOR, but we will
NOT LET YOU HAVE THE OTHER
HALF, though YOU VOTED FOR II
AS A WHOLE, and though you might
NOT HAVE VOTED FOR ONE HALF
WITHOUT THE OTHER HALF, IN
DEED, WOULD HAVE VOTED DOWN
THE HALF WE FORCED UPON YOU,
without the HALF WE DENY YOU"
That would be THE COURT AMEND
ING THE CONSTITUTION and MOI
THE PEOPLE, and no court has
authority to amend the Constitution.
SO it is too clear for argument that
these two sections Of the amendment
must stand or fall together.

To The Public:

The Free Press of last week contained garbed extract
from the report of the Board of Trustees of the Western
Hospital for the Insane for the ending Dec 49, 1898
IN which made to appear In false light before the
public.
The facts are did sign report saying ''we find moth
ing to in the management (Which is composed of
Dr. j. p Douglas and his attendants) and further that
funds passing through the hands of the Treasurer and Stew
ard had been properly accounted for And they had
been that date Dec 49, 1898 Previous that date the
Treasurer of the institution had received from the state
thousands and thousands of dollars which he had failed
properly for which after repeated efforts
of some of the members the Board of Trustees
finally paid in. Then and until then was this report
sgned saying that all funds had been properly accounted
for. These facts, which have been published BEFORE
and no attempt has been made to deny them.
In the article is charged that in my speech at
Vido INDUCED in abuse of democrats including Gov Nc
Milln A. 7. McNeal, j. A. Manson and sparing dem
present. and the editor of the Free Press wanot
ent knows that there not word of truth in this
ment abused one, but only stated facts, which Mr.
Manson who was present and took part In the discussion
did not deny and which successfully deny.
ctcse of the acts of the legislature and of Gov
McMn, such the road law, the dead body bill and
many other measures which have with the condemna
ton of hundreds of better democrats than the author of the
article in the Free Press is.
Have arrived that stage, when
bers of the legislature pass which uinous
to the interests of the people, and who, when criticised
lcharge that effort being made to disrupt the demo
cratic party? God forbid For my part expect to
denim such things know be wrong and ask mans
consent. said Gov. McNTllin had right me
from the Board of Trustees without before the exp

employ lawyers defend John H. Bills in my contest for
the position of Trustee and have the state pay for it. And

er j. A. Manson NJ R. Patterson for Congress, but de-
sire to the nomination of good democrat who
stands on the Chicago platform of 1896
There seems to be gang of politicians in Hardeman
County who have set themselves up be the democratic
party and be above criticism and who have sought to
strike down and dshonor whose only offense was
simply check fraud and the thousands of
dollars They even asking the party to ndorse
them for high official positions; but the time has come
when the people, who the real democratic party under
stand them fully and will disown them.

SPEAKING of a well known, but
very unpopular measure passed by
the last legislature, the Polk County
News says: "Under the new road
law the.people of Tennessee expected
better roads, but taking Polk County
as a criterion, it looks like all the
roads in the county are about as
near impossible as they can well
get, and if the law remains in force
for a few months longer, travellers
will have to leave the roads and take
to the woods"

Patterson and Manson.

SomerVllle, Tenn, April rs
Acknowledgement r. NJ. Patterson
and Hon. James A. Manson, can
didates for the Democratic nomina-
ton for congress, addressed the
Democrats of Fayette today in the
court house. Gen. Patterson spoke
first and held the close attention of
his audience for two hours. About
800 people were present and gave
Gen. Patterson close attention.
Gen. Patterson insisted that the
time for calling a mass convention
worked hardship against him, as
it left him no time to make an ex-
tensive canvass of the county. He
declared, however, that he would
abide the result. He announced
that he would stand on every plank
of the Kansas City platform. He
declared for expansion, but declared
against the imperialistIc tendency
of the Republican administration
Gen. Patterson was closely followed,
and at the close of his speech he was
heartily greeted by a number of
those in the audience. His speech
created a profound impression.
Mr.. Manson followed Gen. Pat
terson, but did not speak at length.
He stated that the early dates set
for conventions was not done for his
benefit, but for the good of Democ-
racy. Further than this Mr.. Man
son had little to say.
The mass convention will take
place on May 5.
The above telegram appeared in
the Commercial Appeal of Sunday.
Mondays issue OF the same paper
contained interviews with Gen. Pat
terson and Mr.. Manson, in which
both are quoted as saying that they
feel encouraged over their prospects
in Fayette County. Among other
things, Mr.. Manson said:
Sat Somerville, Friday, Mr.. Pat
terson refused to divide time with
me, or, his course had this effect.
! had announced through the press
that l would be at Somerville on
the date of his appointment. When
/ approached him with a request for
a division of time he replied that it
was his appointment; that he would
begin about $3.50 or o'clock in the
afternoon, and would speak two
hours. He suggested that we had
better speak at different places. He
spoke until nearly shutdown. had |
only about fifteen minutes in which |
to reply"
Tuesdays Commercial Appeal
contained the following card from
Gen. Patterson:
81 notice in this mornings paper
that Mr.. Manson says that practi-
cally refused to divide time with
him at Somerville.
This is not the fact. He did not
approach me on the subject of the
speaking. l approached him, and
told him that | understood he wanted
to speak that day, aud if so, to
commence at $3.50 o'clock, and then
/ would speak in the afternoon,
later. He refused to do this. |
then said l would speak at the ap-
pointed hour and would take all the
time l thought necessary.
Mr.. Manson and his friends have
made every studied effort to prevent
my canvass of the district. Above
all things would like a joint can
vass with Mr.. Manson, and if time
were afforded would offer him every
inducement to appear with me. He
spoke in Somerville after finished,
and if he was not pleased with the
result of our speaking it was not my
fault. | will have two more en-
gagements to speak in Fayette coun-
ty, and will be only too glad TO
divide time with him."

DEMOCRATS WaAIHLE.

County was held in the court
house yesterday for the pur-
pose of selecting delegates to
the gubernatorial and con-
gressional conventions.
From start to finish, it was
one of the stormiest conven-
tions ever held here.
The fight came up over the
temporary craftsmanship.
Esquire w. H. Tate was
placed in nomination by the
Manson men and Hon. ]. w.
Jones by the anti-Mansonites.
Tellers were appointed to
take the vote. All present
retired to the courtyard. AT
ter considerable wrangling
as to how the vote should be
taken, it was finally decided
that Jones supporters file in
by the western entrance and
Tates' by the eastern en-
trance. The report of the
tellers on the temporary
craftsmanship was as follows
Tate pa, Jones 261.
j. w. Clark and T. D.
Prewitt were nominated and
elected temporary secretaries
without opposition.
After the adoption of an
order of business, a motion
was made and seconded that
the temporary organization
be made permanent. A mo-
ton in lieu was offered by A.
j. Coates that j. w. Jones
be made permanent chair
man. More than a hundred
voices seconded this motion.
At this stage of the proceed
ings confusion reigned. Men
stood on tables and desks and
howled themselves hoarse.
Speeches were made and a
general wrangle ensued for
an hour. If the motion in
lieu was ever placed before
the convention no one present
ever heard it. Amidst the
widest confusion, the chair
put the original motion Ito
make the temporary organi-
cation permanently Before
it was carried, a division was
demanded, but the chair re-
fused to grant it, notwith-
stand the fact that hundreds
were on their feet demand
ing a division, and contin-
ued to demand it until the
close of the proceedings.
In the mean time a part of
the convention proceeded to
select delegates to the above
named conventions. Several
refused to select del
9gates, and such names as
suited a few were put down
Is delegates, by what right
and what authority no one
mas yet discovered. 1t was
declared by the chair that the
convention endorsed A. T..
McNeal for delegate from the
state at large to the national
convention, and instructed
is delegates to congressional
convention to vote for j. A.
Manson. Only a part of the
convention voted on the mo-
ion to instruct they were
,usy demanding a division

The entire proceedings
we're disorderly, tumultuous
