Well Put.

The Nashville Union, notwith-
standing its cranky notions on the
Blair Bill, and queer constructions of
the platform, hasn't gone clear daft
yet. The following sensible remarks
from its issue of Thursday will be APP
preciated by all who desire cleanli-
ness is politics as far as it can be had:
The very first pass made by the re-
porters at ALI. was an attempt to
catch him in fib told Bob. He
denies that he promised Bob not to
run and that he borrowed the money
from Bob to come to his convention
on. That is a bad start. 1t would be
better to ship the two brothers out of
the state until the election if such
scandalous proceedings are to be had.
1t will be exceedingly difficult for
these brothers to avoid personalities
and consequent bitterness. 1t may
estrange them for life and SOW seeds
of disagreement and hate in the Tay-
lor family that all the emoluments
and hOnors of all the offices in Chris
tendon will notcompensate. Papers
and politicians and citizens Of all
parties and colors should help them
avoid it. DO not seek to make them
despise each other. The democrats
can easily beat ALT. Taylor's party
and leave ALT. Taylor unassailed.
Let's try our hand at one decent i'm
personal canvass in Tennessee.

Senatorial Convention.

AS Chairman of the Senatorial COM
mittee for the seventh Senatorial Dis
trict, a Convention is hereby called to
be held in McMinnville, Tennessee,
on Thursday, the 10th day ofSeptem-
Der, at 10 O'Clock a. M, for the pur-
pose of nominating a Democratic
candidate to represent the counties of
Cannon, DeKalb, Putnam and War
rem in the next State Senate. The
basis of representation will be the
same as adjudged by the late State
Convention.
The manner of determining the
place and time was the same as adj
dopted at the late State Convention
in selecting time and place for the
Third District Congressional Conven-
ton.
We will say to the delegates that

Nashville Union: That Cutting af-
fair is not likely to prove fatal. If
some greaser had succeeded in cut
ting Cuttings throat it would not be
a serious loss to the world and would
have forestalled many sham exhibit
lions of loyalty in sundry bar-rooms
where boosters congregate. We are
just getting into close friendly re-
lationship with Mexico and she pro-
misses us rich returns in trade. She
has not offended us and does not
merit the curses and threats of ven
geance that are being uttered against
her. Cutting is a dog himself. We
have no right to kick Mexico for
kicking one of our dogs that crossed
her borders to bark at decent Mexi-
cans. When Mexico gives us provo
cation we will slap her jaws, but I'M
til she does we have no right to
threaten and bully her. '.

BOB TAYLoR's DEMOCRACY AND
ELoQUENCE.

Bob Taylor won his first political
fight, his seat in Congress over Petit
bone, by his tact and eloquence as a
public speaker. He gets his elo-
quence in oratory by inheritance on
both sides, and his Democracy is a
matter of choice. An Americm1 re-
porter, interviewing Mr.. Taylor a
few days ago, put this question to him
"How come you to take the COM
plexion of a Democrat, being born in
a Republican atmospheric"
To which Mr.. Taylor replied:
81 don't know; and yet L do. My
mothers brother, Landon G. Haynes,
was a leading Democrat when I was
a boy. 1 leaned to him. l thought
he was the greatest man in the world,
and got started in his line. He was
an enthusiastic speaker, always full
of flowers, and he got hold of my
bOyish enthusiasm. He captured me.
When l came to be a man 1 found
that my uncle had all the time been
preaching the pure gospel of truth,
and stuck to his teaching"

LITTLEToN's RENEW winds up
an alleged humorous squib on the
East Tennessee caucus at the conven-
ton with this: "Cau-cus, caucus,
how they did caucus; we have plenty
caus for cussing." Yes, thirty-odd
thousand Democratic majority on the
Supreme Court ticket is promotive of
a good deal of cussing in the Republic
can ranks, especially afterthe RecierS
silly boasting that the Republicans
would carry the State by a good ma
jority. Littleton can keep his "cuss-
ing" apparatus in tune until Novem-
Der as he will have another dose
of the same "caus" then.

The Oil Region.

Chattanooga Times.
"Mr. o. H. Pennock, the well
known oil man, returned few days
ago from a visit to the oil regions of
Kentucky and Tennessee. He has
now secured all the necessary maps
and charts locating the wells and oil
springs in the territory.
Mr.. Pennock has secured leases of
thirty-siX thousand, three hundred
and fifty acres of oil lands in Wayne,
Cumberland, Clinton, and other
counties in Kentucky, and in Over
ton, Fentress and Morgan counties in
Tennessee, and in few days he will
have secured eleven thousand more
acres, covering the entire oil territory
of the two States. Mr.. PennnOck is
thoroughly acquainted, practically,
with the condition, ETC., of oil coun-
tries, and he is now satisfied that oil
in inexhaustibIe quantities may be
gotten in this new field"
Mr.. Pennock's scheme is to put up
tanks and refining machinery at
Chattanooga, and convey the oil in
pipes to that city for refinement and
shipping. He claims that such an
arrangement would increase thepopu-
lation Of Chattanooga 10000 Gin one
year.

BLOOD AND MONEY

The blood of man has much to do in shap.
ing his actions during his prilgrimage
through this troublesome world, regardless
of the amount of present or expectant money
in pocket or stored away in bank. 1t is q
conceded fact that we appear as our blood
makes us, and the purer the blood, the hap
pier, healthier, prettier and wiser we are;
hence the oft repeated interrogatory, chow
is your blood%' With pure streams of life.
giving fluid coursing through our hearts
and ploughing through our physical frames,
our morals become better, our constitution
stronger, our intellectual faculties more
acute and grander, and men, women and
children happier, healthier and more lovely.
The unprecedented demand, the unparel-
leled curative powers and the unmstakable
proof from those of unimpeachable charac-
ter and integrity, point with an unerring
finger to B. b. B.-Botanic Blood Balm-as
for the best, the cheapest, the quickest and
the grandest and most powerful blood reme-
dy ever before known to mortal man, in the
relief and positive cure of Scrofula, Rheu-
matism, Skin diseases, all taints of blood
poison, Kidney complaints, old ulcers and
sores, cancers, catarrh, etc.
B. B. B. is only about three years old-a
baby IN age, giant in power-but no reme-
dy in America can make or ever has made
such wonderful showing in its magical
powers in curing and entirely eradicating
the above complaints, and gigantic sales in
the face of frenzied opposition and would
be moneyed monopolists.
Letters from all points where introduce d
are pouring in upon us, speakingin its loud
est praise. Some say they receive more
benefit from one bottle of B. B. B. than they
have from twenty, thirty and fifty and even
one hundred bottles of boosted decoction
of inert and non-medicinal roots and branch
es of common forest trees. We hold the
proof in black and white, and we also hold
the fort.

POliceman's Views.

Mrs. NJ. NJ. Prince, living at 3S West Fair
st. Atlanta, Ca, has been troubled for sew
eral months with an ugly form of catarrh,
attended with copious and offensive dis.
charge from both nOstrils:
Her system became so affected and re.
duced that she was confined to bed at my
house for some time, and received the atten.
ton of three physicians, and used dozen
bottles of an extensively advertised blood
remedy, all without the least benefit
She finally commenced the use of B. B. B.
with decided improvement at once, and
when ten bottles had been used she was en-.
tirely cured of all symptoms of catarrh.
1t gave her an appetite, and increased
her strength rapidly, and cheerfully rec
ommend it as quick and cheap tonic and
Blood Purifier. j. w. GLoER,

IT APPEARS very evident that the
two great political parties of Tennes-
see are thrusting greatness upon the
Taylor family. Hon. A. A. Taylor
went to the Republican convention
declaring that he could notand would
not accept fine nomination for Govern
or. The nomination was thrust up
on him, however, and he accepted
without hesitancy. Empty as was
the bauble, and vain as was the hope
of achieving anything save little
cheap notoriety, he couldn't resist
the temptation. Hon. Robert L..
Taylor merely expressed his desire
to have the Democratic nomination,
and he received it without so much
as leaving his Office for a single hour
in pursuit Of the honor. He will be
the next Governor of Tennessee, and
it will be one clear instance of the
office seeking the man. The way in
which the nomination was bestowed
was certainly a very high compli-
ment to the distinguished young East
Tennessean, and certainly shows that
he has a strong hold upon the hearts
Of the people Of the State.

THERE issome possibility Cbut
little probability of the United States
having a little war with Mexico. A
Texas editor named Cutting, has been
arrested, tried and imprisoned in
Mexico for publishing a libel in his
Texas newspaper. Secretary Bayard
has demanded the release of Cutting,
but this the Mexican Government
has not yet seen fit to do. After all
the money which has been spent in
the two New Orleans EXpositions in
establishing amicable relations and
opening up trade with Mexico, war
with that country would be indeed
deplorable, yet the United States
must and will protect its citizens,
whatever the cost. The negotiations
between Mexico and the State De-
partment relative to the matter are
not very satisfactory at present, but
we are fully satisfied that Mexico will
yield before taking up arms against
the United States.

"Don't Know---I Wasn't There"
These are words which will ring in
the ears of a young Democrat for long
time
Our reporter did not learn the young
mans name or where he lives.
Mr. Turner, at the close of his speech,
extended an invitation to any one who
wished to do 80 to ask him any question
concerning his remarks The aforesaid
Democrat, with an evident feeling of
pity for some of the Democrats who had
been hauled over the Goals by the speak
or for making themselves so meddlesome
propounded this question:
"Can you tell how a man could make
final proof under Republican admins
tration on land on which no breaking had
been done nor no other improvements
nader
The words in the head of this article
were darted forth with the speed of light
ming.
The house roared and shouted, drown
ing completely any further utterances
which the young man may have felt like
making.
And the meeting adjourned in happy
mood. This-the evening meeting-was
perhaps attended by a few less people
than the late Dem. rally at Wa-Keeney.

lars and weeks of effort; the former
enough patriotic feeling on the part OF
