1t would do Tennessee gflod to have
her visitors and the stranger from all
quarters find Gen. Bate in her apitOI;
it would do Tennesseeans good. There
is no better type of the democratic
gentleman than Gen. Bate. and there
is no better-tYpe of gentleman than
the democratic gentleman.
Nashville Banner, june Z.
After Genl. Bate received the NOM
idation this very paper wheeled around
and opposed his election. Such ir-
consistency is objectionable. Bate is
the recognized representative of the
Tennessee democracy, selected by the
lnrgest democratic convention ever
assembled in the state ahd stands be-
fore the people gifted and true stan

Ii Davidson county should succeed
In carrying Gen. Bate through the
convention he will hardly decline to
allow his services in the cause of uni
ty to a divided Democracy We
have no hesitation in saying that our
idea Of politics is to call upon a
man when he is needed. We are
perfectly frank. VIC have never had
the slightest idea Of owing anything
to any body or of having the idea Uf
gratitude or even of payment for SER
vices to enter into politics, than we
have had of preeipitating such an is
sue as whether the moon is made Of
green cheese. When party needs a
man it calls on him. That it does
need him is honor enough for any man.
1t it shall come about that Gen. Bate
shall be found to be u man needed
for this emergency we know of no
man L.. the Stale we can support with
more earnestness and enthusiasm.
He possesses all those personal quail
ties which fit man for ralIying a
discordant party, just as he used to
rally the boys SO CALAMITY in the old
times when no man rendered trueI
service, more faithfully or effectively,

Row at n Catholic Funeral.

The PhiladeIphia Record Of recent date says
There was dramatic scene In the Catholic church,
at Elkton, Nd, at the funeral Of John stocklein,
. saioOn.kseper Of tha, place, who died on Mon
day. Father Lyons, the Catholic priest, In the
midst Of his sermon Was dsscanting somewhat
severely upon the sin Of intemperanco. lie said
that there we're more ways than In which
man could imperil bis soul, OF \ woman, either,
for that matter. "a man, he said, looking at the
coffin before him, eoud do Il At 10 cents drink -
and looking toward Emma, the daughter Of the de-
ceased, who had been In charge Of the saloon dur
ing her fathers illness, "a bar-maid can imperl
her soul at the same price At this the daughter
startled priest and congregation By jumping up
and shouting, "You're q liar" Then there was
Q great hubbub. The priest turned pale and red
by turns and scarcely knew what 10 do or say
People jumped on their feet and some cried "For
shame!" but son Of the dead man capped the
climax by rushing to the altar and crying out.
ayes, you are drunk; you know you are" and
emphasized his remarks by striking the coin lid
with his cenched fst. This too much for the
indignant priest, who left the pulpit Ia disgust.
renarking, an have no more 10 do with this
You can finish the funeral yourself" Before be
could get out. however, the wife Of the dead man
shouted out. 81 guess We can bury him. I can
throw the dirt the coffin, and she did, for after
the priest bad left the church the pail bearers took
the body 10 the grave and the widow threw three
handfuls Of dust on the coin, Pronouncing the
words, Earth 10 EARTH" etc. Then the grave
vas quickly filed mp. The affair has naturally
created q profound sensation.
