Bate in this city on the ID of September it

only opportunity he will ever have of get

SENATOR HARRIs's POPULARITY.
Senator Harris is to-day the most power
full man on the stump since Andy Johnson's
time; indeed, he is superior to johnson, for
he has not one particle of the dem sgogue in
his makeup. Besides, he is more impres-
sIve speaker. While johnson was stronges.
with the rabble, Harris enjoys the warmest
confidence and esteem OF all classes, es-
pecially the most solid and purest men of
the State-lawyers, farmers, clergymen and
manuf icturers.-NdshUile Correspondence of
the Louisville Courier Journal.
THE FIGURES.
The last gubernatorisl vote stood: Wright,
79003; Wilson, 57,546; Hawkins, 103.97l.
The combined Democratic vote is 13S $40.
The whole Republican vote is 103, 971 in
presidential year. This gives Democratic
majority of 32,57S. Now if Beasley and
Russell can carry off this little excess Mr..
Hawkins will be the next governor, and Joe
and John will have been extra good servants
to the cause of Republication. Hawkinss
vote will be short of what it was last cleo
ton by something between 5000 and 10000
votes, Notwithstanding some of the Fussel-
lers will vote for him. He will lose votes
in his own party and among the negroes.
RUSSELL and Beasley will not get IL, 900 votes
between them.-Rnoruiite Tribune
WILL NOT SUPPORT RUSSELL.
We met gentlemen Yesterday who is a
member of the State Prohibition Executive
Committee, and he saws he cannot support
Mr.. RUSSELL. He is knight Templar also
He regards Mr.. Russell as a gentleman, with
full fraternal feeling, but he says it is too
obvious he is lending himself to a bad
cause. Without the hope of election or of
establishing prohibitory laws, Fussell has
taken that cloak to catch votes to defeat
General Bate and 10 elect Mr.. Hawkins.
This gentleman, who is we'll known in our
community, and bears position Of dignity,
prominence and responsibility, says another
mem Der Oh the cOmmlttco Is also opposed 10
Mr. RUSSELL, and will not support him. And
so it will be with every prohibitionist who
stops 10 reason.-Knoruile Tribune.
GOOD SUGGESTION.
The Nashville correspondent Of the Lou
isville Courier Journal hopes that some good
Democrat in every audience TO which Mr..
Russell speaks will PROFOUND to him the
following questions and press him for a cate
gorical answer. Don't let him escape:
FGrst-As between General Bate and Governor
HAWKING, which of the two candidates do you pre-
fer shall be elected?
II he answers General Bate" as he most
likely will, though a number of his leading
supporters here openly declared that they
prefer Hawkins, then ask:
Second-would you not, then, advise the people
Of to support that M csnd
Republican?
He must keep mum, or he must answer
yes or no. In either event, he will be placed
in that attitude in which he really stands,
and zee himself as all good Democrats out.
side the State see him.
RULE ON HoUK.
A little more than two months ago, while
in drunken debauch, the so.called repre-
sentative in Congress from the Second dis
trict of Tennessee, hastily left his seat in the
House of Representatives and hurried home
at his command, to avoid disagreeable de-
feat in bis aspirations for reelection to Con-
gress. His record OF negligence and de-
bauchery was such that those who knew
about it were sick and tired of being repre-
scented by such man, and they were and are
still determined that there shall be a change.
His departure was hastened perhaps from
the fact that two DAYS before he left, he had
been arrested on the.stree OF Washington
for drupLanpaes nd disorderlv oonduot and
imprisoned in the ststionhouse and from the
further fact that be had, after his release
from Imprisonment, been taken to his COM
mittee room, where he had defled the ele-
CANT carpets In the most disgusting manner
ina ginable.-KnoruAe Chronicle.
GOVERNOR HARRIS AND THE BANNER.
Senator Harris is attacked by the Banner
as being a man OF no ability. His record Ia
thing which the Bonner most usually breads
as an apparition OF horror) ia overhauled,
and the Banner then savagely suggests that
the ability which for twenty years has been
of national latituies is founded upon mere
idle and illusory nothing. 1t occurs to Us
that on the 18th of June last Senator Harris
made a speech in the operahouse which drew
from the Bonner malignant attack upon
him, in which his powers were admitted, but
the sword-arm declared powerless because ''it
was in an enemy's camp" A little thing like
a couple of months M akes vast deal OF dif-
ference in the Banners ideas of both men and
things. But this ia too sudden and awful u
plunge from admiration to destruction, and
then to downright denuuciatien. Senator
Harris, however, viii not feel injured if his
political ssgacity and ability is denied by the
Banners standard. That standard marks
neither ability, sagacity, integrity nor politi-
cal honesty in way which Senator Harris
would at all feel like having The commenda- |
lion thereof. But, as the senator is so thor !
oughly known to- Tennesseans-his ability |
and services so signally part of public his
tory, it "were base and graceless" to defend
that which needs no defense and demands no
champion beside its own intrinsic power
