THE CONVENTION AND 1T
NOMINEE.
THE


The convention wuich met in
Memphis, on Saturday last, was
large and representative body Of
democrats, and they felt the RESPONSE
bility which rested upon them. Every
one felt that something must be
done, and done quickly, in order to
prevent the election Of the Republi-
can candidate to the position of
Attorney General in this Judicial
Circuit for the next eight years:
While the three democratic can
didAtes had their warm supporters
present, who were anxious to secure
the nomination of their respective
friends, an anxiety for the success
of the democratic party filed every
breast, which made them feel less
concerned about the success of any
particular candidate, than they other
wise would haye felt. They came
together as democrats, with the sue
cess of the Democratic party as the
most important end to be accom-
plished, a feeling which shohld per-
yade all such meeting. The nomi-
nation of Mr.. S. L. COckrOft, of
Dyer, was the result of mature
deliberation upon the part of a
majority of the delegates present.
Mr.. A. J. Coates developed more
positive strength than any other
candidate, and ON one Ur two ballots
ne came within six or seven votes
of q nomination. His friends stood
by him, unwaveringIy, until they
saw that there was no chance to
secure his nomination. He then
retired and Mr. Cockroft was nomi.
mated on the next ballot Mr.
Young, of Upton, was next to Mr.
Coates in point of strength, bu
neither of these gentleman could
secure a majority of the delegate
present, Mr.. Cockroft being the
second choice of the friends of both
Coates and Young. The democrat
of this county regretted that Mr.
Coates was not chosen, but theI
warmly supported the nominee Oh
yesterday, and we have no doubt Q
his election.
Mr.. COckroft is a young man O
| fine ability, and we are satisfied vii
make an excellent District Attorne,
He is a pleasant gentleman, Q
splendid address, highly educated,
| good speaker, and a close student
We predict for him a brilliant cs
reer. No young gentleman of on
acquaintance has a broader field TO
usefulness before him, and we ar
confident that he will not fall shor
of the exalted mark which his friend
have set up for him.

didates for the gubernatorial nom
nation in EAST Tennes There
are sixteen Democratic newspapers

SAMUEL ]. TILpEN.

This great lawyer, patriot, states
man, and mocratic leader, passed
quietly away at GreystOne, his
country residence OH the Hudson
River, on Wednesday morning last,
at about half past S o'clock, IN his
73rd year, having been born on the
9th of February, 1914. While it
was generally known that he had
been in feeble health for several
years, his death was very unexpec-
ted, as his health seemed to have
been much better during the last
four or five months. In the death
of this great man, the people and
the Democratic party, have sus-
tanned loss which now seems inn
parable. For years Mr.. Tilden has
been regarded as the wisest counselor
and the most profound thinker in
the United States. His equal as a
statesman cannot be found anywhere.
No man took a greater interest in
public affairs, and none had a more
profound regard fOrthe principles of
constitutional liberty, than our
dead chieftain. He will 60 down
to history as one of the greatest men
this, or anyether country ever pro-
duced. No man ever had the good
of the country more at heart, and
no more convincing proof of this
fact can be produced that the fact
that he suffered himself robbed Of
the highest office in the gift of any
people rather :han involve the coun-
try in civil war. The regret al
his death is unfeigned and universal.

The good Democratic counties OF
Tennessee are speaking out in con-
vantion in opposition to the Blair
Bill During the last week the
democracy of several Of the leading
counties have adopted resolutions
in opposition, to that measure.
Hardeman enjoys she distinction of
being the first county in Tennessee,
or perhaps in the South, to dsnOunce
this abOminable fraud, cOncocted in
the interest of high tariff aud high
taxes. We predict that when the
convention meets on next Thursday
it viii put It's seal of condemnation
upon it, aud brand it as unwise and
contemporaries.

Bob Taylor is still booming.
During the last week some of the
largest counties in West Tennessee
have been added to the list of
counties instructing tor him, ObiOn
and Gibson being among the num-
Der. We have never believed that
Taylor was the best man for the
place, but as between he and Dbl
brell, the democracy o. this county
will be for Taylor. We yet hope
that Henderson, OF Knox, or some
such man as he is known to be, may
be selected by the convention.

Not only shortens the time Of
