FRIDAY, , AUGUST 18, 1885,
THE DEMOCRATIC NOMINEE FOR
GOVERNOR.

II will be seen from our special tele-
gram from Nashville that Robert Il,
Taylor, OF Washington county, was
nominated yesterday asthe Democratic
candidate for Governor Of Tennessee.
The unnatural and unusual spectacle
of two brothers opposing each
other for position go exalted
will present a repulsive tableau
to all who cherish the hallowed
memories OF childhood, home and
mother. But il the Republicans can
stand a contest 80 unseemly, 30 can
the Democrats. East Tennessee claimed
the honor Of furnishing the candidate
for Governor, claim which was con"
coded by Democrats in Middle and
East Tennessee, the two sections which
furnished the Democratic candidates
for Governor for thirty-one years,
since lS55-when Andrew Johnson
was elected. And as Bob Taylor made
a brilliant canvass for Cleveland in
1884, he was regarded by the conven-
ton as the most available man and as
entitled to the honor to which he as
PRED. As an ad cdptdndum speaker Mr..
Taylor has no equal in the country.
He is popular with the ma sss and es-
pecially with the young men OF his
party. lie will arouse great enthusi-
asm, make a brilliant canvass, and there
can be no question as to his election
by a majority equal to that by which
the Democratic candidates for SUI
preme Court Judges have just
been elected. Having been made the
candidate OF the party, the APPEAL
will give him a cordial supp ,rt and Ia
Dor sealous'y for his election. The
voice Of the convention 10 the voice OF
q majority Of the Democratic party.
1t is our voice, We accept the noni-
nation without reserve. The Democ'
racy OF Tennessee has said that il
wants Col. Taylor 10 be tho Chief Mag
istrate Of the State, and he will certain
ly be elected to that high and honora
BILE position, and he will have every
incentive TO make a useful, brilliant
popular Governor. The party has now
embarked in the canvass for Novem
Der, The political sky is bright, bu
we mus, no. lose sight of possible dan
gers, We must stand together "a W,
did in the recent county elections an'
