course, we favor a sweep of four out
of the five membes composing the
the old bench, and from all the infor-
nation we can gather we believe
Judge Cooper to be the best and most
valuable man to retain. We have no
personal friends or favorites in the
race, and only speak what we believe
to be for the public good. In the Sc
lection of public officials we have but
one wish or purpose, and that is to
elevate the very best men to Office,
regardless of personal favoritisms.
The nominations of the convention
next week will be equivalent to cleo
ton, and every delegate should real
ize the responsibility of the work.
We hope to see a spirit of harmony
pervade the deliberations of the con-
vention throughout. The majority
by which the ticket will be carried in
August will depend largely upon the
harmonious action of the convention.

refused to heal under any treatment. In

eighteen months, and in 1873 visited Hot
Springs, Ark, remaining three months, but
was not cured. Amputaton was discussed,
but concluded to make one more effort.

OUR old friend Of the Tullahoma
Guardian got a little facetious over
the Presidents wedding. Hear him
talk:
"The marriage of President Cleve-
land to Miss Folsom was set for yes
terday, but as we go to press about
the same time Cleveland does, we
can give no particulars, although we
suppose the happy event came off as
announced"

n. - ,
GROVER CLEVELAND, President of
the United States, was married to
Miss Frances Folsom, in the White
House at Washington, att o'clock
last Wednesday evening, June I'd.
The wedding was a very simple,
home-like affair, there being only
about twenty guests to witness the
ceremony, including the Cabinetand
their wives, together with a few
special friends and near relatives OF
the contracting parties. The Presi-
dent is little over forty-nine years
old, and his bride about twenty-five.
This happy event leaves Buchanan
the only bachelor President, and the
country congratulates the President
upon the new relation.

A NUMBER of papers in the State
are advocating change of date for
holding the Gubernatorial conven-
ton, and early in July is suggested.
The argument in favor of the change
is to give the candidates for Governor
time to make speeches in as many
counties Of the State as possible. We
thought at the time and yet think
that placing the Gubernatorial con-
vention after the August election
wise and judicious. 1t is very labo-
rious undertaking for a man to travel
and speak once or twice a day during
the three hottest months of the year.
1t will be impossible for anyone to
make a speech in every county in the
State, even should the nomination
be made early in July. By holding
the convention at 1.-The time now fixed,
August 18th, the candidate for Gov
ernor can make few speeches in the
different grand divisions Of the State,
and the balance of the discussion can
be left to the newspapers. We have
no fears whatever of the Republicans
electing a Governor, even though
the Democratic nominee should not
make singlespeech in the campaign.
On next Wednesday the State Dem
ocratic Convention to nominate five
candidates for the Supreme Court
will be held in Nashville. The cleo
ton ofSupreme judges is the most
important duty the people ofTennes-
see have before them this year, and
the very best material the State has
should be selected for the purpose.
The position requires men of well
balanced minds, broad and liberal
views, and the highest legal attain
ments-lawyers, not mere politicians
possessing a little legal lore. With
the docket several years behind, the
people of the State will be fully justi-
fed in making the experiment of
putting younger and more vigorous
men on the bench than now compose
it. Believing that the interests ofthe
people will be best subserved by this
