Mr.. l.. G.. Mead, in New York dis
patch, says: Grover Cleveland to de-
feat Theo. Roosevelt for president in
the New Year.
This is not fairy tale. 1t is the
secretly avowed object of very pow
erful band of Wall street men. One
of them represents interests ranked
among the five most powerful in the
money world. You probably will never
know who the arch-conspirators are.
But before the new year has gone on
many months you will certainly see
the plot in action. 1t has been Matched,
backed and launched within the month
Already one of the most powerful
New York dailies has begun the work
for Cleveland. Another equally pow
erfnl, journalistic standard the coun-
cry over-stands ready to come out for
Cleveland at the signal from Wall
street. There will be money in plenty
and powerful influence. This is as
sured. To stir up public sentiment in
the East will be but the work of a few
short weeks. 1t is stirring itself. To
stampede the National Democratic con-
vention is the task before the Cleve-
land conspirators now. That is just
what they mean to do. And at their
present stage of operations they be-
lieye they can do it,
TO elect Cleveland-once the nomin-
alton has been thrust upon him-is the
next problem. The men in this plot
believe they can do that, too. It's
right here that the conspiracy gets
complicated The fact is that there
are Republicans as we'll as Democrats
and men who count in the plot.
This cat isn't to be skinned by strength
euing the hands of the Democratic
party alone. Another way is to use
the knife. | know good many Re
publican leaders in the East whose
fingers are already feeling about the
hilt on the Roosevelt proposition.
Doyou think Tom Platt, who shelved
Roosevelt into the vice presidency tc
prevent his continuance as governor oi
the state, bore him any love then? Dc
you believe he loves the president more
since Odell has been established over
him? Do you suppose the money
powers that bade Platt and Quay il
The comet. (Johnson City, Tenn.) 1884-1916, 1903-12-31

1900 to shelve Roosevelt as "A "danger.
GUS man, have changed their attitude
since? Finally, do you believe that
even Odell himself, on whom the presi.
dent is relying for New York state,
would fight the with the highest pitch
OF enthusiasm to re'olect the man who
has always stood III his patti to high
est honors from their state? If you be-
lieve all this you won't believe what l
hear every day from Republican ma
chine men-that the national machine
would risk defeat and four years on
the outs rather than further "ROOse-
veltization" of their organization
Would fight against Cleveland, back
ed by money powers that formerly sus-
tanned the Republican bosses, tend to
improve such situation?
These are some of the questions that
are being asked here today. There is
no question as to Clevelands ability to
carry the Empire State and many 9TH
ers as doubtful. You hear little ques-
ton of Cleveland's consenting to run.
That question arose a while ago, and
the ex-president himself tried to an
swer in his own way But there are
two other questions. Has any presi-
dental candidate ever refused q nom
ination at the hands Of his party, once
it was made in convention? Can the
refusal of any man to run prevent a
convention stampediDg for him? The
plotters OF Wall street aren't worrying
about Cleveland's part in the game.
What is worrying them just now is
the laying of train for the certain
stampedIng for Cleveland at the Dem.
ocratic convention. / know that Nc
Carren and Murphy, who will control
the New York delegation, have been
approached by the Cleveland plotters.
And know they have not been repuls-
ed. Tammany is in control OF things
in the state now, and some of the con-
spirators are linked with the tiger
strongly on the basis Of local corpora
ton privileges, Besides, Cleveland 3
condidacy would probably sweep in q
Democratic state administration. And
that's thing on which Murphy has
his eye just now.
These are some of the outlines Of
the scheme. It's operation has already
progressed along some of these lines
This plot is thing to watch, to reckon
with. If you don't see some of it,
workings in your state, you will soon
1t is in the West and Middle West thai
the Cleveland men expect to throw

land men, either. What they really
are is anti Roosevelt men. They are
Cleveland men only because they see
in Cleveland an instrument to surely
shape their ends.

ONCE UPON A TINE.

My child comes TO my knee,
And tugging, pleads that he may climb
Into my lap and hear me tell
The Christmas tale he loves so well
\ tale my mother told to me,
Beginning, "Once upon time
1t is tale OF skies that rang
With angel rhapsodies sublime;
or that great host serene aud white
The shepherds saw one winter night
And of the glorious stars that sang
An anthem, once upon time
This story OF the hallowed years
Tells of the sacrifice. sublime;
or one who prayed alone and wept
While his aweared followers slept
And how mis- blood ana Mary's tears
Commingled, once upon time
And now my darling at my side,
And echoes of the distant chime,
Bring that sweet story pack to me
OF Bethlehem and Calvary,
And Of the gentle Christ thai died
For sinners, once upon time
The mighty deeds that men have told
In ponderous tones or flowing rhyme
Like misty shadows fade away
But this sweet story bides for aye,
And like the stars that sang of old,
We sing of once upon a time"

THE BR0WNLOW FOUNTAIN
A Fund d Eject Handsome Fountaiu on

Subscription.


At recent meeting of the Board of
Trade appropriate resolutions were
passed IN reference to fountain 10 be
erected on Public Square in-honor of
our worthy congressman, Hon. W. j.
Brownlow 1t was the sense Of The
Board Of Trade to erect this fountain
It cost of $1,000 aud to raise this
nnd by popular subscription from
ne people Of Johnson City and sur
rounding community.
The Board of Trade therefore ap-
pointed a committee Of ways and means
to which committee the matter of rails
ing the funds has been instructed as
follows:

For the convenience of the public
he committee has designated j. G..
]ampbell as solicitor at the postoilice
md S. A, Byrd at the Soldiers Home.
The idea of building a fountain on
he square is one that has been strong
" endorsed for years, but never has it
truck SO popular vein of sentiment
s when the question of erecting it in
lonor of Congressman Brownlow was
mentioned. That it is an appropriate
token of the high esteem in which Col.
3rownlow is held by our people goes
without saying,
The people feel that they should do
something to show their appreciation
and gratitude for the many good things
which Col. Brownlow has done for this
Congressional district and chief among
which is having erected in this city the
National Home for disabled volunteer
soldiers.
Now that the people have an oppor-
tunity to show their gratefuIness for
so worthy congressman they can DO
so in the matter of this popular sub
scription fund to build the Brownlow
fountain.
The maximum subscription from any
one individual is set at $40, so that any
amount up to $40 will be received
This plan is adopted to make the sub
scription popular aud one that can bs
reached by any individual. All sab.
scriptions will be duly acknowledged,
