SPEAKER OF THE sENATE-HON. ID


To the Editors of the Union and American:
LEBANON, Sept. 6, lSG9-l am much
gratitied to see the Hon. Dorsey 3
Thomas suggested in the columns of you
valuable and reliable paper, for the
speakership Of the Senate. A truer or
worthier representative man will not be
in the next Senate than the Senator
elect from the twentieth Senatorial dis
trict, although that body will be COM
posed of some Of the ablest and best
men in the State. 1t will be remembers
ed that Senator Thomas was fairly and
legally elected to the Congress of the
United States, four years ago, over the
Confederate leather contractor" Arnell
but Thomas was deprived Of his seat by
the Radical Congress. in the teeth of the
plainest principles of law, justice and
fair dealing. Hence l think the Senate
would do honor to themselves, and at
the same time, respect the will of the
people, by electing Senator Thomas as
their Speaker. WILSON.
To the Editors of the Union and American.
We are delighted to see the name Of
Dorsey b. Thomas advocated in your
columns by correspondents, from differ
ent parts eff the State, for Speaker of the
Senate. i am satisfied his election to
that position would be hailed with plea-
sure by all the citizens of the State. who
know him, and especially by the people
of Maury county, the home of ArHell,
who cheated Thomas out of his seat in
Congress. Mr. Thomas Is regarded
everywhere as man of sterling charac-
ter, talent and information; possessed OF
all those traits that make up the true
gentleman, and the faithful public SER
want lie is familiar with Legislative
business and parliamentary usages. and
he would doubtless make an efficient and
popular presiding officer. | hope you
will make known the preference of Our
county, through your valuable journal.

nearly three millions OF bales. Tha

But instead of this we shall have, in Qua
best Judgment, far shorter crop than
last year. The factors tell us We are a
million of bales short already-and here
is another large addition to the deficit.
Prices must adyance-mills work ON

fortunate all round; for the rise in price
which will result from scarcity will be
no adequate compensation to the pro-
Queer, for the general depressing results
of the crop failure.
In regard to the policy of selling in
the face of such pregnant facts as We
have alluded to, we do not mean to offer
advice or suggestion. Each producer
must be governed by his own ideas. The
price is now high and has already reached
point which seriously checks consump-

but our opinion is not worth mach.
