The position of David Davis in &C
cepting the Presidency of the Senate is
thus defined by the ST. Louis Republi-
can:
Even if Davis has made no direct bar
gain with the Republicans of the Senate
they have him just as completely
in their power as If he had. II
at any time he puts himself in
q position of antagonism the Repub-
licans can take him out of the chair and
seat Anthony, unless Mr.. Davis should
choose to vote against his own removal.
He would be a bold man TO choose that
plan of keeping himself in the chair,
but only by that could he keep himself
there IL the Republicans see fit to move
for his removal. A resolution removing
Davis and making Anthony president Of
the senate could be carried by a MAORI
ty Of one il Davis declined TO vote, and
Anthony once elected, Davis would be
powerless to unseat him. Davis, there
fore, is the creature of the Republicans
and must obey their commands or retire
to the floor. 10 give place to a man who

4 nremorable Day at Yorktown

YORKTOWN, Oct 20-The weather be-

immense crowd lined the ground over
which the troops passed, but the senti-

back and perfect order was preserved.

was obtained only by ticket from Gen

man is Mr.. Haskell But we doubt
whether he would take it. And We are
in equal doubt whether it would be wise
for him 20 take the position though
unanimously rendered by Republican
convention. Mr.. Haskell is serving his
third term in congress, and will undoubt.

probably for the fifth, and we do not
know how many other terms. Whether,
say twenty years service IN congress, is

governor for more than two terms, as
there is an unwritten law against. third
term service in the state.

The President has intimated TO sena-

to appointments in their respective
states, but has not made any promise 10
any of them. The senators are rather
inclined TO insist on their advice being
acted on. They claim that as one Of
their prerogatives, and some of the So
called stalwarts are reported as saying
that they viii not support the President

from Mrs Garfield:
MENTOR, October z.
Dear Colonel RocksoeH:
1t is my wish that an account of the
life and an appropriate collection of the
literary work of General Garfield shall

purpose to cause this work tn be done

With reference 10 the foregoing, Col
Rockwell makes the following state
ment:
To fhoss best acquainted with the
great capacity for work and the vast
versatility of General Garfield, the ex-
tent of variety and the orderly arrange
ment of his intellectual tastes are amaZ-
ing. Fully appreciating its value, and
believing that the most enduring nonu-
ment of the late president must be
erected upon a granite foundation OF
what he said, and did, and was, Mrs.
Garfield purposes an affectionate and
careful work in this direction. Such a
therefore, illustrating life
which cannot be written until the world
has moved far enough away from him to
take in the grandeur nf his career and
may be expected only after
and deliberate work, and as
coming from her sanction and authority.

entertainment In our town as greeted
them during their stay. DicOree. Hazel

as the play presented Saturday night,

superb orchestral band which dis
coursed the most harmonious and per-
feet music ever heard in our town. the
splendid accessories in the way OF seen
cry and costumes fer the stage, combin-
ed to render the verdict unanimous that
no such entertainments had ever before
been presented in Morristown. We have
not room to notice the company as il de-
serves, but one feature connected with
its management deserves the recognition
We accord it. We mean the business
system on which Mr.. Richmond con.
ducts the business. While being thor
oughly courteous, accessible and affabIe.
high toned and polished gentleman. he
has established an infiexible law that bu-
siness is business, and he will not fill

paying audience, with waste paper. 9TH

are proud of the behavior of our town
towards MIR. Richmond, and trust that

power to pay us another visit this year,
when we can assure them they will not
find themselves forgotten. u

noted civil engineers. The right of
way having been secured and the
engineers now in the field, it will not
be a great while before the proper
estimates for the completion of the
road will be in possession of the di-
rectors, who can then make a more

THE INJUNCTION.

NASHVILLE, June 19.-In cover.
sation with Colonel A. S. Colyer to-
day, he said it was his opinion that
Chancellor Merritt would not dis.
solve the injunction restraining the
State Funding board from funding
the state debt under the 1908 bill.
He said no chancellor would decide
a case of this kind, where the decis-
ion would be final, as it would be in
this, and therefore he thought the
case would go direct to the supreme
court, where it belonged. He
thought it a mistake on the part of
the state credit side to ask for a
dissolution, but should have let it
come before the supreme court at
once.-C Ourier-Jour nal.
The arguments before Chancellor
Merritt were begun on Tuesday of
last week, and have continued since,
however, but little inter
est from the Nashville public, iudg-
ing from the reports in the Nashville
papers of the outside attendance.
We are inclined to adopt Colyar's
opinion as to the result of the suit.
