~ The necessity of party organiza-
tion has certainly been fully and indel-
libby impressed upon the minds of the
conservative people of Tennessee by
the disastrous experiences of the past
two years. With a voting strength at
least third larger than the opposition,
we were defeated by them two years
ago on account of orr own divisions.
Certainly we win not repeat the folly
this year and permit the radicals to
walk into Office again. Without organ
ization there can be no concentration OF
purpose or unity of action, and conse-
quently no success.

We concede that West Tennessee 81

people of that section to express Their
own choice, and while we would cheer
fully abide by it, we ask TO suggest the
name of Mai. VIM. j. Sykes, as our
choice among the many able men from
that portion of the State.
We know Maj. Sykes 10 be eminentiy
qualified for the duties of the high and
responsible position, and we are anxious
to honor him by our most cordial sup
port. Mai. Sykes has contributed more
10 the material interests of the State
than perhaps any man in it. He has de-
voted almost his whole life to the vari-
Gus public enterprises of the State at
the sacrifice of his own individual IN
perests. His thorough knowledge OF
the political history of Tennessee-her
interests and ecessities-renders him
peculiarly fitted for the position OF
Chief Executive, while his well earned
and well merited reputation throughout
the entire State as a true, honest and
progressive man leads US TO believe that
he is the strongest man that West Ten
nessee can put forward. Let us have
him and we feel sure that our banner
will be carried triumphantly through
the canvass, and that the success of our
party and the best interests of our State

Wise members of Congress win re-
frain from entering into contests at the
athletic sport of throwing mud with
General Butler. He has the advantage
over most of them that he throws his
own missels with precision acquired
by long practice, and the further adyan-
tage that they commonly object to be-
ing hit, while with him it makes no
manner of difference whether he is hit
or not. A little mud more or less doesn't
show upon him.
