1t is quite uncertain whether the
East Tennessee Democrats will
come down here united on any
one man for governor, If they
do they will probably get him in; if
not, the other sections of the State
will settle it for them by nOminat-
ing a Middle or West Tennessee
man. 1t was supposed for a while
that Colonel John NJ. Fleming
would have no opposition, but other
names are now spoken of, among
them Colonel Alfred Caldwell, a
well known lawyer Of Knoxville;
Colonel Blizzard, Of McMinn
county, and the venerable Sam
WINS, editor Of the Athens Post for

John H. Savage, of McMiunville,
lives so near the line that he can
almost see across, but he has not
been content with looking over; he

ing a ten thousand dollar law prac-
tice to accept a four thousand dollar
Office with all its petty annoyances
and the uncertainty Of future pO-
litical promotion. He may we'll
hesitate even if the nomination
were already rendered him by his
friends. If East Tennessee splits
up his chances would be very good.
In fact he would have strength up
there from the start, as that is the
section where he took his start. He
is a Virginisn by birth, but was
''born near the line"
There will be no lack Of guberna-
torial timber this year, and as for
other. offices candidates are as thick
as doctors were in the old healthy
times in'the backwoods, when two
had to ride one horse. The farm
ers, however, are not in a humOr to
stand much electioneering, as they
have not lately seen much good
come of politics. The candidate
who can pull off his gloves and cut
down the most briers or hoe the
most corn for an hour or two with
out staying for dinner, will stand
the best chance among the grangers
this year. j. II. NJ.
