Tho Spurious Democracy of
July llth.
' Never before, in tlio lilicul lii Ury
of thin country, Iiiih there Wn such a
.dinj)luy of )ri'Mj8U'ruu8 mid utterly ri
iliculous assumption an thut exhibited
by the knot of men who, nt NndiviJIe
on the llth of July, vent through the
form of adopting a (tot of rcsululioim and
nominating a young ninn, Bcnrccly
known beyond the limits of his county,
us a candidate for Governor, and there
upon pompously styling themselves the
Democratic party of Tennessee. It is in
deed the broadcHt furce of that charac
ter ever attempted. In this free coun
try it U the privilege of any number of
persons who may choose, to tiM-cmble
und formula to their views on public
questions; but for a hundred or two
self-appointed individuul.i to arrogutc to
themselves tho province of cpeuking for
tho creed and opinions of a great politi
cal organization from whoso rcgulurly
allcd and authorized Convention they
hud recently Eeceded, and to boastfully
jiH.sert themselves the true representa
tives of that party, is tho rankest ubuse
of the privilege. The grow pretension
is an iuHiilt to common tfcm-c, und
scaiccly merits the trouble tieceewiry to
expose it. If that junto of disappointed
and factious leaders had been content to
call themselves "New-Light Democrats,''
r " Latter-Day Democrats," or u lie
formed Democrats," we should have
made perhaps a mild protest against
such misuse of tho term, Jkmocrut; or
if, as tbey wero uttempting to form a
new political sect, they hud invented a
new name no matter what no objee
tion would ho offered, lint for a cabal,
which in a Convention of tho Democrat
ic party of nearly fourteen hnwlrcd regu
larly cuoscn delegates, by a vote in
rouud numbers of fiwt'e hundred to lu-o
hundred, lindbcen defeated, to erect itr
self as tbo exponeut of that party, und
attempt to beguile the people and pro
cure a following as the Demoerotic par
ty ofTeuucHsec, is a feat of political au
(lucity without a parallel.
Id the Convention of Juno 20th, for
nmlly called by tho official representa
tives authorized to assemble it, the Deni
ocratic party of Tennessee, previously
divided ou a single subordinate, domes
tie question of fcUute policy, by mutual"
concessions six-sevenths of tho dele
gates concurring wero practically uni
fied as regards that question. That Con
vention proclaimed a declaration of
views in regard to tho public debt of
the State, in substanco this: First,
that the recently enacted law proposing
a settlement of tho State debt known as
tho 60-3-4-5-3 adjustment, was repug
nant in its terms, us also in tho mode of J
its cuuetment, to tho views of n majori
ty of tlio people, and for that reason
could not, would not, and ought not to
bo a permanent settlement. Secondly,
that recognizing in the aggregate of the
State's ullcilgcd indebtedness two dis
tinct species of debt ouo incurred for
property and stocks owned by the Slate
now and formerly, nud another for
; which tho State received no considera
tion, and for tho payment of which,
principal and interest, certain railroad
corporations wero originally liable, and
only a technical nud doubtful claim now
holds against the State a proposition
in liou of tho CO-3-4-5-6 was suggested
as tho basis of a permanent settlement
by tho Legislature now to he elected.
Tho essenco of that proposition, strip
ped of its useless verbiage, is, to pay the
first species of debt tho " actual " debt,
so demonstrated by all the Comptrollers
TcoiicBseo bonds arc
ccnUt.
of tho Treasury from 1853 to 187-1, in
. full 100-6, less interest accrued during
; the war ; and tho "contingent" debt, in
curred by lonn of State credit to rail
roads, in half and at half the rate of iu
., tercst stipulated in tho bonds, or 50-3.
Much hypercritical disparagement of
this pprtion of the platform hag been
raado. It has been characterized ns
ambiguous, impracticable and unjust in
its discriminations among creditors.
Should it come to bo formulated as a
tender by the Legislature to tho credit
ors it need bo neither. As a declara
tion by the Democratic party on behalf
of the fox-pnyers, it is suggestive only
ns a basis. A Legislature would fully
obey its instructions in offering general
-N compromise bonds on nn nverngo of the
, y jturuuu oi uio uuut 10 OO paid 111 lull
; n aud that to be paid in Lalf, and r.u av-
' m erage rate of interest likewise. The
7 platform discriminates only ns to the
, tjx-payer's estimate of what he owes
. -a wui.ng to pay. 1 he tax-payer is
--ent to the amounts any clawj
of boudholding claimants may receive,
und has uo interest or purpose to favor
any cluss of holders. ILightfully inter
preted the platform is simple, direct
und severely just. It does not meet
wholly the views of any. It is necessa
rily a compromise of diverse opinions.
So also is the present Legislative tender
of CO-3-4-5-6 a compromise of opinions.
The prominent merit of tho Demo
cratic Convention compromise offer is,
ihut it has the sanction of s'u-sn'enth of
the Democratic people, and if tbey
would be free to express themselves, of
full as large a portion of the Ilepublienn
people It is a clear and eiuphutic
enunciation of the sense of an over
whelming majority of the Democratic
party as to the terms of a settlement of
the debt, practical anil permanent in its
character, and ascertained through a
regularly delegated Convention of tho
purfy. Any Democrat who supports
candidates in opposition to the views of
the Convcntiou us promulgated, and
which uoininuttd (Jen. liuto for Gov
ernor, forfeits his party standing. That
Democrat who denounces those who do
support candidates in accord with the
Convention us departing from iho spirit
and form of Democracy, may well be
suspected of never having understood
either the principles or orgauiation of
the party.
Ou this subject, us ou all others, opiu
ion and action arc free. .Men may ac
quiesce iu the standards of opinions s-;t
up by u majority of political associates,
or may refubc to do so. Hut it is n new
idea in Democracy for a few men, as
suming leadership, to arrogate apostolic
infallibility, and on u single issue of
opinion excommunieate nt least tic-
sevenths of the membership from the pnlc
of the party, and claim for themselves
and a .feeble following the party name
organization. Such assumption in
itself is essentially undemocratic. It
disproves their title to the name, and
discloses the true animus of the move
ment to be antagonistic to the elementa
ry principle of Democracy.
In opootiiiL' the voice of an over
whelming majority of the party, their
organs prate much of the principles of
the parly. When did it become n prm-
ciple ot me Democratic party mni me
views of a lean minority us to what
amount should lie scaled from a public
debt should prevail as the creed on that
question T Did Jefferson, or Madison,
or Jackson, or Polk, or Johnson, utter
any such teaching T This talk of the
Democratic Convention notably rep
resentative as it was of popular opinion
abandoning the principles of tho Dem
ocratic party, is insull'erublo twnttlo.
Tho adjustment of the Stato debt of
Tennessee with her creditors, while it is
a local mutter of internal administration
properly to ho left to the rightful ma
jority tho Democratic party has uo
more to do with Democratic principles
than it has w ith the rights of the English
in Egypt. Loyal Democrats can afford
to stand the treachery of these leaders
for it will be harmless, but cannot abide
the cloak of devotion to principle under
which they seek to disguise it. Let the
farce go on, but pray stop beating the
gong about principles.
M'e arc proud to see Mrs. I'olk paid
every dollar due on her bonds, but why
not nay, in lull, tlm bonds held by oth
er widows, guardians and orphans of
Tennessee? Why Biich discrimination?
LCIarksviIle Chronicle.
Iiecausc, you sec, Mrs. I'olk is old
cannot live long and at her denth the
State, under tho will of President Folk,
will become owner of her splendid prop
erty iu Nashville. To this has the
great Stato of Tcancssce come in her cf
fort to bo economical. If that blind
girl who owns only ouo bond which her
father left her, could only leave $1,000
to the State at her dcuth, her bond
w ould not have been scaled. However,
we don't cxjiect any settlement of the
State debt for several veurs. There can
be no honest or honorable settlement
until there is au agreement between the
debtor and creditor. An honorable
compromise would be a settlement, but
a forced settlement is a disgraco to the
power that enforces it, nnd it is a farce
to call it a settlement. The Stato is
bound for the debt; whether she ever
pays it, or compromises it, or not, is for
tho people to say. The people must
rule. This has nothing to do with the
Governorship. We do not waut a Hud
ical.

Mr. E. A. James, styling himself
Chairman of the Democratic btute Ex
ecutivc Coiumittco, addressed a letter to
Hon. J. J. Vertrecs, proposing that a
commission of one from each Committee
they to select a third bo uppointed
for the purpose of making "a pains
taking, careful and elaborate investiga
tion of the facts connected with the is
suance of the bonds of the State of ev
ery class" for the information of all in
terested. Air. Vertrecs replied as fob
lows :
Nashville, July 17,1882.
Hon. K. A. Jinnee, Chattanooga, Tenn.i
Dear Sir I am in receipt of your fa
vor of tho 12th inst, proposing that a
coin m ision of three gentlemen be elect
ed to investigate "all tho facts connects
ed with the issuance of tho bonds of the
Slate of every class," and to report the
same ; and suggesting that their reports
bo published, to remove the "current
uncertainty as to the amount and valid
ity of the State debt."
This letter purports to emanate from
you ns Chairman of tho Democratic
State Executive Coiumittco of Tenuoa-
see. Inasmuch as I myself am Chair
man of that Committee, I respectfully
decline to consider the proposition sub
uiittc-d by you. I will not even enter
tain n meritorious proiKisition submitted
by another who assumes, in so doing, to
exercise the functions of bit office of
Chairman of the Democratic State Ex
ccutive Committee of Tennessee.
However, it is with pleasure I avail
myself ot the present opportunity to in
form you that the Democratic State Ex
ecutivc Committee are possessed of ofii
eial documents aud authoritative re'
isirts, sufficiently trustworthy and ex
plicit to remove the "uncertainty" that
recently lias become current. Aotonly
would the action ot the proposed com
mission be superfluous, but also not nil
thoritiitive, and therefore comparatively
valueless. Moreover, 1 beg to be per
in it ted to observe that if there be such
greut uncertainty us to the amount nnd
validity of tbo bonded debt ns you sug
gest, it is to be regretted that tho advo
cates of the 100-3 Force Hill, and the
(50-3-4-5-0 act, did not endeavor, during
some of the numerous recent sessions ot
the General Assembly, to establish an
authoritative commission to investigate
the uinount und validityVf tbo bonded
debt, rather than to plus those lunuin
nets ; for as they were sufficiently
strong to enact the laws, they could
rem lily have created the commission.

Wanted to See a Rebel.
From the Ix-troit Free Press."
Down below Montgomery I ran
across a man from Port Huron, Mich.,
and filler we had shaken hands ho said :
" Seen any rebels down here?"
" Why, yes. That is, I've secu hun
dreds who weie in tho Confederate
army." .
" But have yon come ncross one who

hates the flag?"
"No."
" Well, I wish I could sec one. I've
been down hero two weeks und haven't
come across him. I thought the South
was chuck full of such chaps, I doted
on an interview.
I went up to tho hotel and told the
boys, und they sent over to the cooper
shop for Sam. He was not iu the war
at nil, having lately moved in from Tex
as, but ho was the most "rcbbish look
ing man south of the Ohio river. He
hud long hair, long, matted whiskers,
u long arms, ragged clothes, aud be
looked to be a tough case. The boys
told him what was wanted, nud he
walked down the street to a burber shop
where the lort Huron man was waiting
to get shaved. Standing in tho middle
of tho shop he threw his old hat down,
jumped three feet high, and cracked
his heels, and yelled out:
Whoop yah I Whar's that Yank
who's been hanging around this town
for the lasthreo days? Whoop yil
yi durn Uncle Sam for an old buzzard I
I fit wid Wheeler, I did, and I never
surrendered I There ain't Yanks 'nough
in North America to walk me off

Iho man from Port Huron had nual-
ly got what he was looking for. He rose
up, and was edging for the door, when
Sam jumped for him nud yelled !

A Republican member of the Mich
gnn Legislature has tbo followiug to say
of the negro, after having paid a visit
to the South :
"Damn him, sir, dhniu him! We
wouldn't stand the half from him that

Some Friendly Advise to guv

DeaiI Joe: We arc all sighing for
for 'hat promised report ia the Banner
that was to show up the btute debt
roper so enormously. J he negro who
went into a hole after a skunk and
fouud a bear was not half so astonished
as you fellows wero when you come to

that .Luke right heaved a good-sized
sigh of relief when be found that he
would not have to go in to belo Doak
let the bear loose? Foor Joe Fussell
you never bad auy 'sncrience with bears.
You said vou stood in vour political
cradle. Better lie down, Joe, we're go
ing to rock you some and von might full
out. If Bailey sends you in the hole
und you mistake Doak for tho negro in
the yarn, you II set right in to prosecu
ting thut negro you can't help it, can
you ? And then the bear might get you
and Doak both. Kun, Joel It Douk
ever does get out and tells what that
Stato debt proper is. what are vou go
ing to say t Ihey ve done promised us
at least SSJ.UUV.UUU, aud possibly 13,.
000,000. If it turns out that way, Joe,
and vou find that your crowd told the
truth when they said that the 50-3 was
more than the 00-b plan, what 11 you
do ? They set you up because you nev
er did anything or said anything about
politics and you didn't have anything
about you to knock down, and because
vou arc honest, Joe, (und vou are) and
hightoncd and wouldn't stoop to repu
diate, and all that, nud you want to
pay the poor bondholder as near what
we owe turn as possible, aud now wheu
you find that C0-C repudiates more than
50-3, why you'll have to well, I dou't
know w hat the devil you :vill do. Do
you? Please don't resign as Attorney
General. When we get through rock
ing you you'll need employment, nod
youM better hold your grip ou your
$6,000 office. We cau rely ou you uot
to resign, can t wcr but it you Aiioic
you're going to be elected, as you said
in your siieech, I can't sec how you cau
get around resigning. The boys won't
believe that you think you're going to
be elected unless you burn this bridge
behind you. But if you burn it, where
will you retreat r (J, these thorns in

you dou't know how. You never hurt
yourself planing planks and boring au
ger holes, und 1 know you dou t waut to
hurt yourself after you are fat aud forty
nnd famous. If you do know how, I'd
advise you to bore you a nice auger hole
to crawl in next fall. It's going to be
cold out doors with nothing to do to get
up circulation. Cuptuin, you've get the
best voice lor governor 1 ever heard
but it will be with you like it was with
the negro who had a good voice for eat

Louisville Courier-Journal suys :
" The Tennessee debt question can
not last forever. It is temporary iu
conditions, and local in its bearings.
The honor ot Tennessee is no more in
volved in the settlement made by the
lust Legislature thau in the settlement
proposed by tho Democratic convention.
In cither, event it is practical repudia
tion. Meanwhile the Democratic party
outside of Tennessee cannot fail to see
with unxietv a division which may
loose us the State in the next President
ial contest. They see iu Gen. Bato a
tried, a true ational Democrat, ihey
believed ho was fairly nominated by a
fairly constituted convention. Ihey
waut him elected, and he will have the
moral support of the party throughout
the Union. At long range, it is iucun-
ceivable that, between n choice ot
modes of repudiation Democrats
should, for a matter of ten cents, delib
erately prefer the Bepubheau to Demo
cratic nominee.
