TIGE STATE CONVENTION.
HON. A. A. TAYLOR, OF CARTER COUNTY,
FOR GOVERNOR.

FOh 1ONEhNOh'
NASHVILLE, Tenn, June 10.-The
gubernatorial convention met at 10I
o'clock and was called to order by the
chairman OF the state committee, Wat
son. S. A. McElwee, Of Haywood.
was elected Temporary chairman and
R. w. Austin Temporary secretary.
Committees were appointed on
credentials, resolutions and perma-
nent organization,
The committee on permanent or
ganization reported Hon. I, w. Brown,
Of Shelby, permanent chairman and
H. B. Lindsey secretary.
Nominations being in order, Judge
Smith, of Memphis, nominated D. A.
Mum r. " Austin nominated A.A.
Taylor. Several spirited speeches
were made on either side, seconding
these nominations.
After considerable delay, ballot was
had, resulting as follows Taylor 1873 ;
Mum, 1915.
Before the ballot was closed a motion
was made to make the nomination OF
Taylor unanimous, which was carried
with whoop.
Responding to. loud calls, Taylor
came forward and made an eloquent
speech, accepting the nomination, and
was applauded enthusiastically.
Num-, also, made an earnest speech
pledging himself to support the ticket
The platform was adopted withoui
: discussion, except the clause reported
by majority of the committee favor
ing the admission of the prohibition
amendment, which provoked lively
discussion. The platform as adopted
favors protective tariff, endorses tn,
Blair bill, opposes the penitentiar,
!, lease, favoring the working of shor
term convicts on the public roads, AM
long term convicts within the walls 0
the penitentiary, expresses condolenc
with Ireland, fayors the repeal of tn
per capita road tax, and favors thu
submission of the prohibition amend
ment to be voted on by the people.
After the adoption of the platfolr
. the convention adjourned. 1t was
large meeting, and in the main, ha-
monieus. TWAS noticeable that ever
: mention OF the name OF James {
- Blaine provoked spontaneous, unive
sal and hearty applause.
The state committee organized b
electing A. NJ. Hughes chairman, job
- G. Houk, secretary, and John j, Ii
Teton, treasurer.

The Convention.

The Democratic Judicial Conven-
ton at Nashville last week nominated
for Supreme Judges, Peter Turney
and w. G. Caldwell for the State at
large, w. G.. Folkes for the Western
division, H. III. Lurton for the Middle
division and d. L. Snodgrass for the
Eastern division. The ticket is
pretty good one but it would have
been much better if Judge Cooper had
been nominated instead Of Turney or
lurton, and Kirkpatrick, Ingersoll or
Haynes had been nominated instead
of Snodgrass. If the East Tennessee
delegates had gone into caucus and
agreed upon two candidates, both Of
them would, in all probability, have
been nominated. But the friends OF
1ngersoll and Snodgrass were opposed
to such action, the Mayfield men
weakened and the caucus was defeat
ed. After the four candidates had
been nominated from Middle and
West Tennessee, motion was made
to call the counties in the eastern di-
vision TO ascertain the choice OF the
East Tennessee delegates, but this was
promptly voted down by the same
men who opposed the caucus. If a
CAUCUS had been held in is pretty safe
to say that Judge S, ], kirkpatrick,
of this county would have been nomi-
mated. He received 125 $40 votes, or
nearly one-half OF the entire vote
of East Tennessee. Judge Ingersoll
would probably been naminated also.
The other candidates from East Ten
hessee received the following vote
from this section; Ingersoll 100,
Sewer 10, Mayfield "a, Cooke so.
Washburne "a, Snodgrass 55.

| think Mr.. Garland's resignation
may be looked for within the next
thirty days. AS to his successor there
is very little talk. At the time ex-
Senator Thurman became Govern
ment counsel in the telephone suit
there was good deal OF gossip to the
effect that he would naturally step in
to Mr. Garland's place. Mr., Cleve-
objected to Mr.. Thurman in the first
place, however, for a seat in his Cabi-
net,on the ground Of his advanced
age, and Mr.. Thurman has grown no
younger since that time. Represent
alive Randolph Tucker, Of Virginia,
the Chairman of the House Judiciary
Committee, and one OF the foremost
lawyers in Congress, is per-
haps as likely to get the place as any
body. He comes OF a long line of dis
tinguished lawyers and would fit the
place admirably.

A GubernatoriaI NTisOgynist

The fact is, Gov. Hill is confirmed
woman-hatef. He is animated not
by any lack OF respect for the virtues
Of the sex, but is of that stern stuff
which is impressionless to the APP
proach Of the soothing influence
Heinrich Heine made light of. By
choice he avoids the places where wo-
men are. Every day Of his life his
intimates, who know his failing, ban
ter him about the women, every odd
specimenof the species being sent to
him in the course of her meanderings
about the Capitol building, He will
flee from the rustic of a petticoat as he
would from the wrath to come. Once
he changed his route from his home
to the Capitol when made conscious
of the fact that his daily walks were
being regularly observed by bevy Of
gushing girls from convenient bay
window. Gov Cleveland, on the con-
trary, had any number of young miss
es to whom he lifted his hat as he pass
ed by inreturn for their shy saluta-
tions. Gov. Hill will sew on his own
buttons yet awhile.

justice by keeping remarks at the
head of its editorial column, said to
have been made by John ]. Vertrees,
after Mr.. Vertrees has denied that he
ever used such language. The Jour
nal should now make the denial as

WASHINGTON, D. c., June 10, 1886.
To the Farmer Of The South:
AS you are aware, we are engaged
in an earnest far-reaching effort to
regulate the manufacture and sale OF
imitation butter. We have succeed
ed in passing our Bill through the
House OF Representatives after a most
desperate fight against us by the bogus
butter people. The question affects
every owner OF COW in the country.
The result of our effort means the sal
walton or the destruction of the dairy
industry. 1t therefore concerns every
farmer in the land.
Our Bill has been reported to the
Senate, where we won victory in Its
behalf yesterday on the question OF
reference to the Committee on Agri-
culture. The measure is important
to the dairy and agricultural inter-
ests of your State, as well as to all con-
sumers of butter, for they are now
grossly swindled. Won't you, there
fore, in the interests of yourselves and
your Northern brothers, urge the SEN
ators FROM your Stare; by letter, to vote
for our Bill,
Very respectfully your
JOSEPH II. REALL,
