This is a rise of something over thlr-
teen votes on Wilson's.strength above
the Americans estimate, and is there.
fore that much nearer Wilson's actual
strength. When ono Of his ablest
If not b~itterest opponents gives him
06.525 votes, we think it a pretty safe
estimate to add half that many more,
which would make 99,7S7. All the
tables. all the eiphering and all the
boasting cannot elect Judge Wright,
We have said all the time he would
be third in the race and feel more GER
tain Of it now than ever. The Banner
gives Wright 5000 votes IN
Shelby county; Hawkins 65OO'
and Wilson 5000. Total, l4,5Oc.
This is about as near correct as we
could expect from the other side.
There is a scarcely a doubt that Will
son will be long way ahead Of Wright
in this county. The Banners figures
put out on the eve ofthe election, and
ingeniously arranged to mislead, indi-
cate a secret knowledge or dread Of
the fact that Wilson is the man
to beat Hawkins.

Mr.. Bond was nominated by a
high tax convention, and in his
speech accepting the nomination,
pledged himself to support the nOmi-
nee for governor on that ticket, and if
elected to carry out the principles set
forth in said platform. He is now
running in Madison county on that
platform. But his friends here, who
are also Wright men, claim that he is
in favor ofthe submission plank. They
do this to take votes from Lambeth to
him. But they have failed to make
a single convert for Mr.. Bond. But
some ofthe high tax men have al
ready said that they would vote for a
consistent low tax man in preference
to a man who tries to u on both
platforms, but in fact is a high tax
man. We hope, therefore, that all
low tax men in this hOaterisl district
will vote for their candidate, which
will insure his election.

Suddenly the band crashed oat and
each one present rose to his feet. A
tall, slender form, willowy and grace
ful, had entered the saloon. Instantly
there was a rush, and Mdlle. Bern
hardt, as she chatted with Abbey and
Schwab, was the center Of a curious
crowd. Il was a striking face that
they saw, long and thin, and, viewed
as a whole, almost triangular IN shape.
Her broad, low forehead was nearly
concealed by her hat and little fossy
pufs Of light-brown hair. Under her
light, ~delicately penciled eyebrows
shone long, narrow gray eyes. Her
long, prominent aquline nose gave a
little of the Hebrew cast to her face.
Seen in profile, a little ripple was
noticeable that gave it an irregular
outline. The nostrils were then quiy-
ering and distended with every emo
ton. Her mouth was wide,
with thin, shapely cut
red lips that curled and fairly
wreathed as she spoke, and when the
curved upper lip was drawn back in
her smile, her prominent white teeth
were fully exposed to view. Her chin,
rounded as it was, was yet strong, and
her clear, white complexion, was re-
lieved only by a little spot Of pink,
visible just under the cheek bones.
1t was a surprise to most of the curl
Gus gazers to find Mdlle. Bernhardt a
pronounced blonde instead Of a bru-
nette. But one who barely noted her
features first and the outline of her
face, found himself attracted again
and again in watching her in order to
detect the something that gave such a
peculiar character to her face. The
secret lay in her diamond eyes. Now,
as tho artist threw back her head and
watched some one attentively, they
narrowed, as the eyes Of a sleepy cat
may sometimes be seen to close, and a
cold glitter alone was visible. The
stony gleam seemed as if something
remorsely cruel we're speaking through
her ewes.

The Nashville Banner of Satur-
day, the 18th, contains four columns
of figures and communications in re-
gard to the gubernatorial election.
This purports to be a very fair esti-
mate, based upon information re-
ceived from all sides. But a suspi-
cious circumstance stares the reader
in the face at the outset. Every one
of the sixty-seyen letters published
bear the date of October 10Th, which
was last Friday, the day before
they appeared in the Banner of the
next afternoon. Fer instance, there
is a letter from Se%yierville, a place up
in East Tennessee, at least twenty
miles from the branch railroad that
reaches Marysville. This estimate
gives Hawkins in Sewer county 1900
votes; Wright, 300; Wilson, 100 and
Edwards, 25, a total Of 2225 votes.
When, as a matter Of fact, the county
only polled 1862 votes at the cleo.
ton in 1873. The county has
not polled $50 democratic votes
at any election since the war.
