unanimous approval q the Democracy
OF Hamilton county, and will be graft
fying 20 Mai McConnell's many warm
friends and supporters throughout
Tennessee. In the history Of the
Democratic party Of Hamilton county
there has never been such harmony
As was displ .yed IN the Endorsement
of Mai Mcdonnell as a candidate for
Governor. This action unites and
solidities the party iu this section as
nothing before has ever done. The
convention honored itself in thus
honoring so worthy and popular an
aspirsnt for this high pc iuon.
NASHVILLE Banner: Granville S.
Ridley, of Mur rcesboro who was NOM
ioated by the Democratic Joint convex
ton for Judge in the Eighth Judic'a al
Di,uict, composed OF the counties OF
Davidson and Rutherford, is a lawyer
of marked ability and a gentleman of
the highest c. aracter He is about forty
Years old and is one of the most esteem
ed and most successful members Of the
Murfreesboro bar. Modest and uRs-
suming, rather shrinking from than
courtirg publ city, he possesses at the
same time the sterling and positive
qualities 80 essential for a Judge.
CLEVELAND BqHner.Na8: The way
in which Hamilton Democrats 10 a
man rally 10 Major T. NJ. Mcconnell
for next Governor OF Tennessee must
be source OF qualification and pride
to that gentleman, and we consider this
confidence and esteem well placed.
Morristown Gazette: Major Tom
Connell, it is well enough TO say, was
born and reared in Granger county,
and has a host Of friends in this sec
ton and throughout the state.
McMinnville Ner Era: Major Tom
Mcconnell, Of Chattanooga, is loom
ing up strong as the probable Demo
cratic candidate for Gubernatorial
honOrs from East Tennessee. If East
Tennessee Democrats will concentrate
their strength on Mcconnell, he will
be the nominee and the next Cover
nor. lie would fill the Gubernatorial
chair with honor 20 himself and to the
satisfaction Of his party.
ATHENS Post: The Chattanooga
Commercial insists that Gen. Wilder is
the strongest man the Repub leans
could nominate for Governor. Gen.
Wilder is clever gentleman, ard
more liberal in his views generally
than mos. Of his party associates.
The Republicans make their nomiua-
ton for Governor in June, and
should the Commercials candidate be
selected the Democrats will probably
nominate Mai. Tom Mcdonnell of
Chattanooga, good talker and splen-
did organizer.
NASHVILLE Banner: II is to be re.
GREETED that such a bitter contest was
made for the nomination for Chancel-
Tor, yet even those who opposed Mr..
Allison's nomination must concede
that he is highly and fully qualified
Tor the respon ible duties Of the office.
His career as a lawyer aud his charac-
ter as a gent eman are so well known
in the two countes composing the
decision, the mention Of his name is
sufficient commentator. He is one
CT the best known lawy eTs in Tonnes

NASHVILLE Banner The action of |
the joint convention of Davidson and |
Rutherford counties yesterday in vot-
ing to give the judgeship to Ruther.
ford county, and thus deciding arbi. |
trarlly that no Davidson county Dem
ocrat had ri yht TO come before a con-
vention of his party and ask for a
nomination for criminal Judge was an |
action VIII ch cannot be justified on
any correct Democratic principles
NASHVILLE Banner: The nomina-
ton of Mr. W, G. McAllister, Jr,, for
the judgoship of the circuit composed |
Of Davidson, Williamson and Cheat
ham, was n deserved compliment to
one OF the finest young lawyers in the
State, and gentleman who in all re-
spects has shown himself worthy of |
the honor bestowed upon him by his
party convention. He is too we'll |
known and too highly esteemed in
this county to need any encomiums at |
the hands of the press. His legal abil-
tiles are beyond question, and his emf. |
nent fitness for the judgeship is con-
ceded,by all who know him.
