TAYLOR got there on the tortieth
ballot
A STRONG, earnest, manly fight
for the nominee will take the nausea
away from crow.
"WHILE the world goes round
and round, some go up and some
come down."
Bob is still up.
IT is reported that a Chicago syn
dictate has cornered corn, and prices
of this staple are likely to rule high
before the next crop comes on the
market.
THE fortieth and last ballot taken
by the convention stood as follows:
Total number ofvotes, 1895; neces-
sary to choice, $685.; Taylor's vote,
1851, 7-12; scattering, 2l4!.
-.-N.-
WARREN CoUNTY's eighteen votes
in convention were cast solidy for
Taylor on the last ballot, and her
eighteen hundred Democratic votes
will come up the same way in No
vember.
LET all animosities engendered
in the strife over the nomination now
be buried. Let all Democrats pre-
sent a solid front to the common en-
envy, and all share equally in glori-
Gus victory in November.
Mr.. w. G. Houston, of Cannon,
won some bright laurels as chairman
of the late convention at Nashville.
He was also chosen as elector for his
his district (the 5th), and will make
a vigorous campaign.
WHEN the Congressional Conven-
ton for this district is called the
plan proposed in resolution passed
by the late State convention should
be adopted, and the convention
limited to one delegate for each vote
in convention. s"
ALL the delegates who opposed
Taylor in convention should prove
their true Democracy now by sup
porting the nominee with the same
earnestness and zeal which character
lied their opposition to him in
convention.
ALT. TAYLOR has received the
Republican nomination for Congress
in the first district, which is equiva-
lent to an election, the g. o. p. having
a majority of 5000 in that district.
He has done lots of hard work for
his party, without pay or reward,
and this slice of pie is well earned.
OUR exchanges from all over the
State are speaking out very earn estly
and enthusiastically for the nominee,
and some of his warmest supporters
now were numbered with the oppo.
sition until the convention. This is
but just and generous, and is the prop.
er spirit for all to manifest.
THE late convention demonstrated
to the world that Gov. Taylor has
some of the warmest and truest
friends on earth. They stood by him
with unflinching fidelity, and never
for one moment faltered or showed 6
white feather. He has abundant
cause to be proud of his friends and
grateful to them.
WHILE the convention was in 5es
sion at Nashville Senator Harris tele
