EIGHTY counties which have re-
ported the result of the late election
give Robt. L. Taylor 107, 1S9; and A.
A. Taylor 3,743, leaving the Demo-
cratic candidate majority of 23,446,
which the remaining counties will
probably reduce to about 10000. In
1884 Gov. Bate received 132, POI votes,
and Reid 1926, Bates majority
being a fraction less than seven thou
sand. The remaining sixteen coun-
ties to hear from on our recent cleo
ton will not carry the vote of either
of the candidates to these figures.
The counties to hear from will run
Alf Taylor's vote up in the neighbor-
hood Of 100000, and Bob Taylor's up
to somewhere about 10000. While
Bob will stop short of Bates vote by
$4,000 Alf will run $4,000 behind his
ticket in the same year. The voters
OF the State, taken as a whole, eX-
pended their enthusiasm in going to
hear the candidates speak. They
failed to do their duty at the polls on
election day, and consequently there
was shortage of nearly 10000 in the
total vote of the State. The Repub-
licans, however, are the greatest
losers by the stay at homes. But as
ALT Taylor received about the same
vote that Hawkins got six years ago,
it is probably that that is the real
strength of his party in the State, and
that Frank Reid got $4,000 Demo.
cratic votes two years ago.

WE see the name of Capt. j. w.
Irwin, Deputy Internal Revenue
Collector at this place, mentioned
among the candidates for State Treas
urer. We could not more heartily
recommend any man of our acquaint-
ance for public position than we
can Capt. Irwin for State Treasurer.
He is a skilled accountant, a correct
and systematic business man, and
does all of his work in scrupulously
neat and business like manner. He
has every requisite qualification for a
good Treasurer, is high toned chris
tan gentleman, and man of sterling
integrity. During his residence in
McMinnville he has won the fullest
confidence and highest regard of all
our people, and there is no man in
the State whom they would be more
pleased to see elevated to one of the
highest trusts in the State. We are
informed that he came in four votes
of getting the position once before.
We hope he will get it this time,
with a good many votes to spare. II
is a pleasure to us to advocate the
claims of such men, and the STAN.
DARD can be relied upon as solid fol

urer.

writers connected with the great pub

left New York in special car last
Friday for the South, where they will
spend several weeks in gathering ma

OUR BoB's senatorial boom isn't
booming so voluminously just now.
We predicated his chances for the
United States Senate upon his carry
ing the State by 10000 majority, but
as the full returns will likely place
his majority at a little less than 90
600 we consider his chances for the
Senate reduced in more than a cores
ponding ratio; in fact we believe it
will practically leave him out of the

allowed to fill out his full term as

THE labor element is going to play
by no means unimportant part in
the politics of thefuture. The move
ment is assuming sufficient proper
tons to demand recognition of the
leading parties, and should it be de-
MED there is at least a probability of
new party beingformed which may
make material changes in the old
party lines. We believe the Demo-
cratic party has strength and wisdom
enough to correct anyreal abuses from
which laboring men suffer, and we
believe that party affords the work

ONE of our West Tennessee ex-

General Assembly will be composed
principally of young men. Doubtless
such young bloods as Col. John H.
Savage, Hon. R. E. Thompson, and
Judge ]. ]. Williams will have a
high old time in Nashville together
this winter. There will be an ample
sufficiency of gray hairs in the Gener-
al Assembly to lend dignity to the
two houses, and enough young and
progressive men to secure lots of eff
fective work. We believe the per-
sonnet of both houses is far above the
average, and we will be disappointed
if mnch good legislation is not en-
acted.

THE question of a Constitutional
Convention will in all probability
come before our next Legislature for
discussion. Col. Savage has been adj
vocating a Constitutional Convention
in quiet way for several years, and
will likely push the question this
winter. While we do not agree with
the Colonel in all of his positions on
public questions, we will earnestly
second any endeavors he may make
to this end, believing as we do that
there is urgent necessity for a general
renovation and reconstruction of our
organic law. The question Of a Con-
stitutional Convention is now ripe
for the earnest consideration of the
thinking men of the State in every
avocation of life, and we hope to see
it assume definite shape in the COM
ing session of our General Assembly.

Mrs. JULIA M. WALTERS, of

We have been through a ministerial
crisis. Not soul in all ChrlsiendOm

from st. Petersburg TO San Francisco,

puies OF the Delegates in the Chamber
detailing the probable results o. this or
that policy, and apparently working the
whole world up into q fever a out
French governmental affairs. With all
th interest abroad. il might be sup
posed that in Paris, where the ministers
sit, at the very heart of all France. the
excitement would be intense. Quite
the reverse. The Partisan cares little
for politics; he interests himself IN
other matters. \ ministerial crisis
would pass unknown to q great many
of our good people were il not for the
cries OF the newsbOys. At just one
period OF the day, a little before and a
little after 5 O'Clock in the evening
politics IS a general subject of conver-
sation, and really attracts passing at
tention. Then the bOuleTards are chat
teriug with politics. but it takes little
to divert the attention Of takers to
something else. For instance, the
topic, this afternoon, is the Cow fame

a PARTISAN RECESS

1t is in the late afternoon that the
multitude OF affairs that engross the
attention of Parisians take a recess, as
the school boys say; it is a time
between whites; the affairs of the day
are about over and the affairs OF the
night are not yet begun; SO the affairs
of the government get a chance for an
airing. Another cause for discussion
at this hour IS that il Is the time wuen
the evening papers begin TO come from
the press, aud rs the newspapers always
emphasize politics even here, the
readers talk most naturally about
what is forced upon their attention.
But even then the talk is so perfume
tory, so superficial The conversation
is turned at the slightest provocation
TO subjects very remote, as il the citI-
zens OF the republic were tired OF their
affairs. Here and there Is man who
is really inteTested; journalist
who has to judge by the policy
of to-day what it will be tO-mOr-
row; a broker VINO Is interested in
stocks that may be affected one
way or another by a political change;
some rare genius who is monOmaGiac,
or some unfortunate who hopes for an
appointment in the new administra-
ton. But these are only q small part
of Paris, the Paris that laughs and
weeps and loves and hates aud ridi-
cules. The reader at the cafe wayside
smokes and sips the while, ana has
always an eye open to every comely
girl who passes. Ii she be an Ameri-
