Hence Governor Buchanan no longer
supports Governor Patterson.
And the reason is sufficient to the
minds Of honest men.
But the Governors American, in car

Governor Buchanan's high character
is too secure in the minds of the people

such wanton attacks.
Yet the spectacle suggests question

To what extent of corruption has the

GOVERNOR BUCHANAN.
(Nashvine Daily Tennessean.)
President

(Nashvlle Daily Tennessean.)
The Governors organ, the Nashville
American, has senseessly libeled anoth-
er worthy citizen of Tennessee.
This timeitis Hon. John P, Buchanan.
He viii not support Governor Patter-
son and the machine.
Therefore, by the law of the cabal, he
must be destroyed.
1t is true enough that he has merely
exercised freeman 8 right to have an
opinion of his own and express it pub
licly
But political machines can not flour
ish where the people are free to say what
they think
What boots it that Governor Buchanan
is an honorable and worthy gentleman !;
that, as farmer, he has aided in devel-
oping the resources of the State; that he
came of pioneer stock in whose wisdom,
industry and courage are found the be-
ginnings of Tennessee's greatness and
glory that while a mere boy he wore
the Confederate gray and was brave
and faithful soldier, and that he became
Governor Of this proud State.
His good name and his worth of SER
vice are as chaf when the machine
grows desperate.
He must support the machine or be
detained. For political machines are
,tni of norcOpS
The judgment of history will aGardto
John p. Buchanan the honor OF advanc
ing learning in Tennessee. 1t was in ac-
cordance with his wise recommends
tons that legislation was had which re-
suited in elevating the standard If the
public schools and extending the course
OF study.
The teachers Institutes, where the
work for education has been systemat-
cally planned and carried forward were
made possible only through his recon-
mendatIons being enacted into law.
Thepeople Of Tennessee; the boysand
girls the educated young manhood and
young womanhood; the fathers and
mothers, whose children are strength
ened in mind and morals through this
widening system Of free education know
a sense OF deep gratitude to Governor
Buchanan.
But the machine knows nothing Of
gratitude.
Unless he supports its blacklist iniq
uity he must be dragged down.
Destruction OF the right to freedom of
thought and speech is the whole spirit
OF the Patterson campaign.
And yillifcation is the method by
which it is sought 10 win.
Governor Buchanan is Democrat.
He believes in tie right of the majority
to rule. He heard Governor Patterson
while candidate speak eloquently OF
this truly Democratic principle. He
heard him denounce political machines;
and Governor Buchanan believed that
Candidate Patterson was sincere, and,
so believing, supported him.
He saw Patterson win his nomination
and become Governor.
And then he saw him duplicate the
worst which he had denounced, aud.
with the power Of his machine, ruthless

during the last four years of his school
days he worked as an apprentice in a
printing office before and after school
hours, on Saturdays and during vaca-
ton. At the age of eighteen he took
up the printers trade and for several
years published small local paper in
Grass Valley. The first thing he did
after attaining the age of twenty-one
was to show his confidence in the fer
tility of the soil of this section by TAX
ing up a homestead on Bear Creek
proving up on it after five years resi-
dence as required by law. By steady
work and unflinching zeal, he estab-
lished one of the most attractive sum
mer resorts in the mountains and many
an eastern tourist remembers Rest
Awhile" with feelings of unrestrained
pleasure. Perhaps no one has larger
personal acquaintance throughout the
county than has Charley. He has been
a loyal Republican under all circum
stances and when in the early nineties
it required nerve and stamina to ac
knowledge oneself to be a Republican
of the stalwart brand in this county he
did not hesitate to assert his Republi
canism. In renominating him for the
office of assessor the party has placed
its seal of commentator on a worthy
man, a faithful officer and loyal cit
iZen.
