FOLKES and CALDWELL
THE STRONGEST CANDIDATES
FROM WEST TENNESSEE
Before the Judicial Convention
Cooper, LurtOn and Ingersell

IsprcrAL TO rnn ArrlIL.I

NASHVILLE, TENN, June THE
situation tonight admits OF little
conjecture, but in the next twenty.
four hours developments are expected
which will simplify the aspect OF af.
fairs to some extent, The candidates
from East Tennessee have to o-Dight
agreed to hold a conference tomorrow
afternoon, to be called a preliminary
conference. The APPEAL correspond
ent has it from the best authority that
the real object Of the caucus will be
to select first and second choice from
East Tennessee and that the whole
division would support those choices.
WITH REGARD TO WEST TENNESSEE,
the fight is mora personal between the
candidates and their friends than any
section of the State. Ths differences
between Freeman and Caldwell Of
Gibson county, which were apparent
in the County Convention, are much
more serious than at first supposed,
end will certainly have influence in
the convention. Freeman's friends
will, under no circumstances, support
Caldwell, and vice versa. Folkes
Cf Memphis is stronger than
any individual candidate in West
Tennessee. Col. Josish Paterson, Luke
Wright, w. H. Carroll, M. b.
Trezevac;, T. B. Turley, J. League
and John Kelly are working his
boom for all it is worth and they are
certainly making many friends for
him. Folkes is rapidly gaining
ground in Middle and East Tennessee
and even his opponents concede him
to be very dangerous. Next to bin
Caldwell is strongest from West Ten
nessee. The young member Of the
Court of Referees is making the
race hot. II isA rumored here
tonight that Fol res and Caldwell
have entered into coordination and
the good words which each and the
friends of each have for the other
are Independent of the other and
more significant signs and indications
Of the correctness Of thereport. Judge
B. ]. Lea Of Haywood is making a
good fight, and Freeman is the last
man in the race from West Tennessee.
WITH REGARD TO MIDDLE TENNESSEE,
Cooper and Tu,ney are strongest in
the order named. OF all the csndl-
dates in the field, Cooper is the strong
est and II is said that he and Turney are
in combination, but no substantial
groonds for the report eau BIZ found. |
Luton OF Montgomery is next in
point of promise. JUICE Ingersoll
Of Knoxville is the strongest man
from over the mountains. At
this hour it is impossible to
properly ( recatt the result, but judg.
ing from the Sight bas S tor conjecture
the APPEAL Correspondent would |
select the following as winners:
Folkes and Caldwell from West Ten
nessee, Cooper and LuItln from Mid |
die Tennessee, and Ingersoll from
East Tennessee.

The East Tennessee Complication.

Knoxville Tribune, 9th: The East Ten
neesee delegates to the ate Judicial
Convention will leave Knoxville and
other points next Monday morning
in order to reach Nashville in time for
day Tuesday. We are reliably in
formed that all the candidates for Su-
preme Court judges in East Tennes-
see, with single exception, have
agreed to submit their claims TO the
delegates from this end of the State
in preliminary conference. This is in
accordance with the Tribttle's sugges-
ton made several weeks ago. IL has
been universally indoIsed by the peo-
pie as the only far way to secure the
nomination OF East Tennefsse's
choice, whoever he may be. The plan
is for the East Tennessee delegates TO
meet the day before the convention,
and from the doz an candidates in this
end OF the Slate select the strongest
one or two Of the candidates TO be
presented 10 the convention as our
choice. A candidate who cannot get
the indorsement OF the East Tennes-
see delegates certainly cannot ask
to be nominated aid accredited
to this division of the State Accord
ing TO the Constituii the five Su-
pieme Court judges must be so dis
tributed that not mora Than tw1 can
be selected from one division OF the
State. Certainly there can be moth
ing unfair in each division selecting
for itself at least one candidate. The
East Tennessee deleeatfs are b. tier
able to name our first choice for Su-
preme Court Judge than are the dele
gates from the Other two divisions of
the State. 1t is probable that only
one OF the judges will be accorded TO
East Tennessee. In this case our
delegates will certainly insist upon
naming the man. We cannot submit
TO Middle and West Tennessee nam
ing for us a candidate whom we do
not want. They haveitin their power
and will probably do it If our dele
gates tamely submit. If we show
determiD alton TO insist upon our right
the convention will doubtless nomi-
nate our choice and our point can be
carried without 9 fight.

He had 10 do So.

Among the excursiOnlsts on the
City Hall steps yesterday noon to
eat luncheon were a young fellow,
who had a wide-awake look, and q
girl who insisted on holding his
hand and looping over on his
shoulder. Two or three gentlemen
observed the situation and halted
for a second look. Their smiles
were noted by the young man, and
he released himself and came over
to them and said: "Gentlemen, let
me explain. Did either one of you
ever live in the country y "No,"
they replied in chorus. "Then you

THE ART OF FORGETTING.

1t was a wise old fellow, the
Roman emperor, or some other
historical parsonage, that told the
philosopher who offered to teach
him an infalIible art of remember.
ing: "No, ! don't want anything of
the kind, remember too much
as il is; but will give you untold
gold if you will teach me how to
forget" The fact is, the praises of
a tenacious memory as an unmixed
blessing have been fairly run into
the ground. Teachers in the pub
lie schools are forever sounding
them. They think that the only
faults Of the children are that they
forget too early, forget the multipli.

FATHER RYAN.
BY REV. BEVERLY D. TUCKER.

nl KEW DIaN mil -
There was never voice to utter
The grief aud pain of the land.
Till his music awoke responsive
To the tender touch of his hand.
She bowed in her desOlate silence.
Andmourned by the graves OF her dead
Andlshe longed for the consolation
That comes when the tears are shed.
Till his strains, as they fell, awakened
In the soul that bent DER the sod,
New faith in the gracious designiHgs-
In the hidden purpose of God.
He'd learned, as lie knelt at His altars,
To trust an Omnipotent Love;
And his song had an inspiration
Which echoed the music above.
He took all our idle eOmplainings
And 10 in their stead, in one mouth,
His song as a low supplication,
Welled up from the heart of the South
His strains, full of pathos and glory,
And heard of listening world,
Entwined as wreath Of immOrtelles,
The flag that we wearily furled.
There is never grave so humble,
In all Of the desolate land,
But his verse has inscribed upon it
An epitaph stately and grand.
Once more-by the beds Of the dying,
In the homes Of the pestilent West
His song, like a low miserere,
Goes up from his plying breast
A wall for the woe of his people
A plea that Gods mercy would spare
And we take up its lowly burden,
And change all our murmurs to prayer
All, the South is strickened and anguish
ed;
But never a heart can forget
The solace his music has brought us
And its echo lingereth yet.

The Bravest Battle.

The bravest battle that ever was fought
Shall tell you where and when
On the maps OF the world you will hnd Il
not;
Twas fought by the mothers OF men,
Nay, not with cannon, or battle shot,
With sword, or nobler pen;
Nay, not with eloquent word or thongn'
From mouths of wonderful men.
But deep in a walled-up wOman's heart
OF woman that would not yield,
But bravely, silently, bore her part
Lol there is that battlefield
No marshaling troup, no bivousc song;
No banner to CLEAN and wavei
But, oh these battles, they last 80 long
