Pleads for Harmony
When Watterson founded the Jour

the South. Thoroughly reconstructed
himself, he urged all to follow his
course in complete submission to the
federal government.
Mr.. Watterson always advocated a
tariff for revenue only" a phrase
which he coined and which finally
was adopted by the Democratic party.
He was an ardent friend of Grover
Cleveland during the latter's first ad-
ministration as president, but opposed
Cleveland's third nomination.
His service as public official was
confined to a fractional term in con
