serve the good people as governor OF
Tennessee for two more years. base
this statement of facts on the ground
that his platform aud policies and
nublic PRINCIPLES and issues are right
and the people of Tennessee are right,
and he is again going to be elected.
Hooper will carry my county by 300
majority over Rye. The Rye Club in
nv town is straining every political
nerve to rally around the Rye flag.
They are subscribing heavily by priv
ate subscription to make up campaign
funds to bear the expenses of the Rye
campaign. This reminds me OF the
democratic congress when they made
an appropriation of so many thousand
dollars to meet the expenses OF the
war with Mexico, when in fact, we
don't vet consider we have had much
of an expensive war, yet why don t
the democratic party come square out
and say "By tiukering with the tar
if aud the tariff reduction and free
trade we have made mistake and I'M
der our free trade and high tariff re-
duction we have about lost the Could
ence of the nation and are forced to
make this war appropriation as our
national revenues were not sufficient
to meet the expenses of the govern
ment aud we just had to have an ap-
preparation and say it is for war ex-
penses. just say low tariff and free
trade and we will be better satisfied.

the truth all the way thru when they
preached from every hill top and
plain, "Elect us democrats to the
mowers of the nation and we will
bring about reduction on the cost OF
living and the necessaries of life.
Yea, where is the standard price gone

ever since the beginning of the exist
ence of the democratic party, that ev-
cry time they came in to power in this
nation, the history shows a failure.
and If the party is ever successful the

and placed on record. With the above
