Bob and ALI Taylor were driven
from Woodbury. to Murfreesboro in the
same carriage in company with Con-
gresham Richardson.
At many points there were such per-
sistent demands that Bob was forced
to wait long enough to shake the
hands OF some imperious Democrats
About nine miles from Murfreesboro
a group was waiting, who would not
let them pass, and one typical country
man introduced himself proudly as
man who in his own family had thir-
ty good Democratic voters-himself
seven sons and twenty-five grand
sons. Bob Taylor responded:
"My friend, you have not lived in
vain," ALI added, sarcastically. "Nc
Wonder Democrats have a majority
in Tennessee"
The sally was greeted with a gener
al laugh and the party drove on.

CHATTANOOGA, TENN, Sept. 49,
The Republicans held their county
convention to-day to name delegates
to the Congressional Convention, and
nominate candidates for the Legisla-
ture. The convention was one of the
most disorderly and uproarous ever
held here. s. L. Hutchins, colored,
and Jon. w. Stone were nominated
for the Legislature. Hutchins is ne
gro who has been training with the
Democrats until two months ago, and
is thoroughly untrustworthy. His
nomination has nauseated the respect
able wing of the party, and although
the Republican majority in the coun.
ty is 600 he will be defeated by 400
votes. The Convention broke up in 8
row over the appointment OF congress
ione delegates, the country delegates
boiling. Sixty-three delegates were
named and the Convention adjourned
in great disorder. It's effect is to ever
more thoroughly demoralize the par
| ty.

To the Voters Of the First Congress
ional District OF Tennessee:

Morristown on the 9th inst, nomina-
ted me as the Democratic candidate
for congress in this district. ! had
not been candidate prior thereto,
and was not candidate before the
convention; in fact, / did not desire
or seek the nomination in any way.
During my temporary absence from
the convention, and while the Ham

Of my nomination, and when return
ed to the convention the work was
very nearly accomplished | was
much surprised and somewhat dis
concerted by the suddenness OF this
unexpected nomination. Being call
ed to the platform in the excitement
OF the moment, and with no time to
reflect on those reasons that ought to
have influenced my action, / accept
ed the nomination.

in doing SO. / am the president of
a banking institution in Morristown,
operating considerable capital, in
GLIDING deposits and | owe an active
duty to the stockholders and deposi-
tore Of that institution wholly incom-
patible with my entering politics.
Besides this, my own private affairs
are so wound up with that institution
including my fiduciary relations con-
neeted Herewith, as to require my
constant care and attention. My
health and physical yigor have become
much impaired in the last few years,
and my nervous system deranged and
broken down, with decided tendency
TO insomania, and these facts admon-
ish me that what most need is rest

Mr.. Geo. A. Smith, Of Hawkins, was
placed in nomination for Congress be-
fore the convention at Morristown, af-
ter which he made speech saying
that he did not seek the nomination.
He did not consent for his name to go
before the convention. He did not
want to come in conflict with any as
pirant, but he would heartily support
the nominee OF the convention. Mr..
Smith did not intend that his name
should be balloted upon after making
this speech, but his friends were anx.
ious that he should &C. before the con
vention and accordingly voted solid
for him as per instructions from the
county convention. Had he received
the nomination he would have made q
vigorous canvass. He will support
Judge Rose and do all he can to elect
him.-Rogersville Review.

The Red and White Rose.

"In this country there are two
great ideas Of free goyernment-the
Republican idea and the Democratic
idea. The representative of the Re-
publican idea in this campaign is nsy
brother. 1t devolves upon me as the
choice of the Democratic party Of
Tennessee, to represent the Democrat
ic idea.
Is there anything improper, indeli-
cate, or unbrotherly in our meeting to
discuss publicly the interests of great
State and a great nation under these
two ideas? We have not met to
wrangle or quarrel or scramble for the
high Office for which we have been
made candidates. The tender bond
of brotherhood is neither severed nor
abraded by our differences of opinion
in politics, nor can the discussion OF
POLITICAL questions disturb the deli
cate relation. The red rose and the
white rose bloom together and shed
their odors upon the same atmos-
phere, and, gently struggling for SUI
premacy, glorify the twilight hours
My brother represents the red rose
and represent the white. Our polit-
ical histories vary in this that in my
budhood 1 was transplanted by tender
and loving hands into the sweet gar
dens of pure Democracy; while he
like the last rose of SUMNER was left
blooming alone.
Full many gem of purest ray serene
The dark unfathomed caves of ocean bear;
Full many flower is born to blush unseen,
And waste its sweetness on thedesert air.
"But, fellow citizens, when yor
shall have all taken smell, and theI
taken your choice of blossoms, the rec
rose will have the happy consolation
that he is the brother of the Governor.

CaII for q Convention.

The withdrawal Of Judge Rose from
the Congressional race leaves the
Democrats without candidate. The
election is too close upon us to permit
the calling Of the various county chair
man together for consultation. Know
ing, however, that it is the desire of
the Democrats OF the First Congress-
ional district to put a candidate in
the field, I hereby call a convention
to meet at Johnson City on Thursday
Sept 80, at 10 o'clock a. m. to nomi-
nate candidate for Congress.
The different counties will hold mass
conventions at there respective Conrt
Houses on Monday next, to select del
egates to the Congressional conven.

MORE EARTHQUAKES.

EN- UP.


EN- UP.
CHARLESTON, Sept. 21.-- There were
three shocks of earthquake in Char
lesion last night and early this NOR
ming, the shock at $50 a. m. being
quite sharp and causing the houses to
rattle uncomfortably. There was no
general alarm, but a good many per-
sons ran out of their houses into the
the streets and remained there.
At Summervllle there were three
shocks between 4 25 and 6 80 morn
ing, there being a rather violent
shock at 5 ;20as here. A loud detona-
ton similar to the report of u heavy
gun was heard at the beginning of the
severe shock here, and there were de-
donations or explosions with two of
the shocks at Summerville. 1t is re-
ported that part of the wall OF the
medical college, already weakened,
was thrown down by this mornings
shock, and much loose plastering was
also thrown down. A colored man
was injured by falling wall.
COLUMBIA, S. c., Sept. 21.-Last
night there was sheet OF lightningin
the east. At frequent intervals dur
ing the night subterranean thunder
was heard for several hours, and at 5 :
10 a. m. long rumbling sound, appar-
emily proceeding from the direction
of little west of south, was followed
by a severe shock, lasting about a
minute, Houses were perceptibly
shaked and most of the people awak-
ened. The subterranean thunder
continued several hours after the
shock. The atmosphere grew very
cold just before the shock. People
sleeping uncovered near open win
dows found it necessary to close the
windows and wear blankets.

quake was felt here
SAVANNAH, GA, Sept 21.-Savan-
nah experienced another very dis.
tinct earthquake shock at :55 (local
time) this morning. The vibration
lasted several seconds, caused slate
roofs, windows, &C., to rattle. Hun.
dreds of people were awakened and
many were frightened badly, though
there was no general alarm. Nearly
everybody talks philosophically about
it, and only the more nervous are ap
prehensive of destructive visitation
