CURRENT OPINION

for President and Vice President,
and the Republican nominee for
President are Governors oftheir re-
spective States. They are furnished
by the three great States on the ma
tional highway from the Atlantic to
the Pacific-New York, Ohio and
Indiana. This is a good year for
Governors.
In her address to the Democratic
National Convention asking a show
| ing for the women, Miss Phoebe
Cozzins made a touching leap year
appeal 10 the delegates. But the
platform ignores the ''woman cues
tion" altogether, and the COnven-
tion piled insult mountain high on
the entire sex by nominating for
President of the United States
little, dried-up, weasenfaced "old
bach" of seventy. Let the war
. whoop echo all along the lice.
Gov. Thomas A. Hendricks was
| the first choice of the Tennessee
delegation for President. He was
f their last choice, fer whom they Vo-
: ted, without division, with the
same fidelity exhibited by the In.
diana delegation. In this vote the
r people of Tennessee were faithfully
q represented. An overwhelming ma
Iiority of the voters of the South
a west would endorse the votes of the
Tennessee delegation. The Missis-
sippi river embraces in itself, and
with its outreaching arms, people
united by the common interest of
agriculture; people whose habits
> of life are alike, and whose politi-
> cal aspirations cannot be unlike.
They may be misrepresented today
but they will not permit misrep-
resentation tomorrow. We rejoice
that Tennessee made q splended
record in the st. Louis Convention
a record full Of courage, intelligence
n and political integrity, preserving,
ls in national politics for the State,
that position which its past politi-
e. cal history has made, and renewing
Is the memory of Jackson, Polk and
u Johnson in the hearts of the people
Is of the West.
- The splendid record made by the
&c votes of the delegation was bravely
p sustained by ex Gov. Jno. c. Brown,
'e who represented Tennessee in the

IL his State side by side with Kanas,

y ois and Indiana-the heart and

'p valley-on the great question of the
present and the leading one of the
h future. The minority report, sign
