ave been most instrumental in organ

eDend an advocate of Ben Butler TO
r. v.ir his rhetoric and take

ieople with his peculiar views. Thi
makes seven Richmonds in the field
/ nd only two to elect. In this emeI
,ency it would not be reckless ide
lhe or the Democracy to call a conven
ion and select two candidates to max

d -Bireenbacker and the Republican
would feel mighty lonesome on tn
ivening of the election, but as it nov
we4tands some combinations might b

bn one of the Democrats now desired by
of the people.
ID ID Judge Bledsoe, as chairman of tn
executive committee, will doubles

iecessary to success, call the commi
