gnbermioriM canvass in Ten
nessee hue made the participants in II the
most prominent men in the state at the |
present time. Robert and Alfred Taylor !
lre the two oldctl sons Of the Rev. N. q |
Taylor, IN oid and well known minister |
OF tho Nofthern Methodist church, who |
has lived the greatest part Of his life in |
the eStreme nortll-westenI counties of the |
state, and boon actively engaged In farm
ing and preaching. lie is pronounced
prohihitionist, but only stepped into poll
tics once, whom he WAS elected 10 Congress
from she First district, and succeeded by
liodcrick Random Bniler lie has since
lived quietly, and neighbors tell OF lini
TINT he docs less preaching during nm of
year than when one Of his stns il running
for Office. Robert and Alfred ara both
men of stalwart mould and good intellect,
Physically they are both striking, both
heavily huilt, but Bob il fully eight
inches taller aud of much more cont
mnndiug presence. Their hcaula are large
and well made, and set firmly on their
shoulders. ALI. is of very siocky bnild,
and not much over five feet, while his
Democratic brother will measure fully
six feet, and Weighs considerably over
200 pounds The eyes of both ARE black,
those Of Bob fnll Of fire and sympathy,
while those of his brother are more quiet
and loss piercing, Their compilations arc
tho Same, awarthy but the character of
each face IL given IL by the eyes.
In disposition they differ greatly, ALI
being phlegmatie and thoughtful, while
his older bother is lymphatic, magnetic,
fond of telling Jokes, of which he has q great
stock, always being able to knock ont
argument with q funny story. This
makes him the more popular of the two,
regardless of party affiliations. His in
flnence over tho crowd is wonderful, and
his election TO Congress in strong Repub-
lican diHtrict which never before or since
sent u Democrat TO Congress, ia still
talked of ms tho time Bob Taylor filtlled
his WAY into Congress. Both brothers arc
accomplished ilddlers and already fiddlcs
arc being brought in ~ a ost-oratorical
amusement for the curious crowds that
gather abont them. Until yesterday the
speaking has been in Republican strong
holds, but Mt fullahoma the first Deuo-
cratic stronghold was assaulted in East
Tennessee. Beth wsre treated with the
utmost courtesy. Yesterday, however,
there was some disposition to guy the
Republican candidate. which, the Demo
critic brother slenced by rising and say
ing: ''rhe man that insults my brother

At MeMinnvilla to day they were

| gathered in Warren county and were
listened to with tho utmost attention.
PAriisans of each had made the most
| extensive arrangements for the reception

escorted the brothers TO the hotel. ltnsos,

in McMinnville. 1t is strange, by tho
why, that the whitu rose Inns becoma the
Democratic emblem. A peculiar chArac-
tcristic of the brothers Would seem to
