THE TAYLOR BROTHERS.
Alf Is Unable to Continue the Canvass, and
Emerson Etheridge Will Take His Place.

UNION City. Tenn, Oct 9-The good feeling
which characterizes the campaign between the
Taylor brothers in Tennessee was we'll illus
trated on Thursday, at Dyersburg Alf had
the second speech. and when he had finished
Bob removed his overcoat. ready to reply, arose
and put his papers on the table
"Bob," said Alf "I am physically unable to
make rejoinder."
"Well gentlemen" Bob announced, 'I cannot
make my reply"
The crowd shouted $50 on, Bob, anyhow"
s'No, gentlemen, it would not be fair to my
brother" said Bob, as he walked away. The en-
thusiasm for the distinguished brothers is greater
than it was before the novelty of the can
brothers are the subject of conversation in the
cities, in the towns, and in the country. Sharp
advertisers use their names to draw attention to
their business, and the traveller on every road is
deceived into reading many patent medicine
poster. Bob and Alf are familiar names in
every household in the State. Their meetings
are discussed everywhere. Alfs physical condi-
tion better than it has been, but he spoke
with difficulty.
1t has transpired that, while Alf TAYLOR was
in Memphis, he met number of leading
Republicans from several of the Southern
States. and a consultation WAS held concern
ing the probable leader of the Republican party
in the next presidential contest Since that con-
sulsation, Alf has said every day upon the stump
that James g. Blaine was the great leader and
exponent of Republicansm of the United States,
and that sure as the years rolled around the
Flumed knight would bear the Republican ban
ner to victory. His mention Of Blaine elected
tremendous applause.
Alf's physical condition will not permit him
to proceed further in the canvass Several tele.
grams have passed between Emerson Etheridge
and himself, and it is probable that ALI will re-
tire from the canvass on Monday and Emerson
Ethe ridge will fill the remaining appointments
with Bob.

It is settled, seemingly beyond controversy,
that skins were removed, and and that there is
very strong circumstantial and other evidence
going to show that canes were made of these
skins. There is possibility. so far as we can
Judge from the evidence which has been given to
the public. that there may be some confusion as
to the real names Of the convicts from whom the
skins were taken TO make canes, but that canes
we're so made seems to have been practically
proven. All that is necessary to complete the
proof is to shape the statements which are being
made by reliable citizens of Democratic proclivi-
