Among the many whom Tennessee
has honored, and whom she would
love yet to honor, is Isham G. Harris.
Governor Harris has proven himself to
be a faithful, conscientious and able
servant of the people of this State, and
would no doubt do so again were he
placed In Office. He Is In the vigor Of
manhood, and his mind is ripe with
study and experience, and he would
| make US one of the most able and
watchful members Of the Senate.
Governor Harris, all viii acknowl-
edge, feels the deepest interest In the
welfare and prosperity of the people
of the State and the whole country,
and we, for one, would be glad to see
him honored once more by being
placed in the Senate of the United
States. However, we are not going to
quarrel with anyone as to anyone's par
ticRlar fitness for the Office to the ex-
clusion of others, and we shall be sat
isfed, no doubt, with the Legislature
after they shall have selected the Sen
ator.

For the present we refrain from the
advocacy of any particular man, but
we are frank to say that the name of
West Tennessee's choice, William III.
Stephens, would suit us if officially in
scribed on the Senatorial roll.

We will certainly be well represented
in the Senate when we have such mate.
rial as Bate, Ewing, johnson, Quarles,
Stephens and Savage to select from,
besides several others OF equal ability
whose names have not been mentioned
in that connection. We anticipate a
lively time when the Legislature meets,
but hope the election will be so con-
Quoted as to preserve harmony in the
Democratic ranks. The seeds Of dis
cord and destruction lie dormant in all
political organizations, and are ever
ready to spring up where the opposi-
ton is weak. Our danger lies in our
strength, and the claims of each can
didate should be temperately discussed
and duly considered.
Gallatin Tennesseean.
We have been repeatedly asked:
Whom do you favor for United States
Senator? And as the elections are
over. we answer unhestitatingly, Gen.
VIM. B. Bate, Summers gallant, dis
tinguished and chiyalric son. We
thought that everybody understood
this, and that we were for him first,
last, and all the time, even before the
election. Certainly we made this no
matter of concealment, although we
avoided making it subject of Pablo
political discussion for the purpose of
securing united action in the support
of the regular Democratic candidates.
Gen. Bate Is a true representative
! Tennesseean, a man of ability and
courage, and one who always comes up
fully 10 the requirements of any posi-
ton In which he is placed.
West Tennessee Democrat.
Without intending the slightest dis
paragement to any gentleman spoken
of as probable candidate, we must
confess that to our mind the Hon. w.
G. Whitthorne, of Marry county, Is the
most suitable. 1t is conceded by all
unprejudiced gentlemen that he is the
shrewdest, most far-seeing and prudent
politician in the State. His casting of
the political horoscope for the past ten
years has been infallible, and we are
indebted to him In this State more than
10 any other man for the general policy
that has made Tennessee irrevocably
Democratic. He is the most thorough
ly posted man IN the State in parlia.

as debater, and is said to be better
posted upon all questions of the day
than any man IN the House of Repre-
sentatiyes.
