To-day and put the names Of our
chieftains at the masthead of this is.
sue. AS the Democrat has been out
spoken all the time for Cleveland tor
a second term, and his nomination
being conceded as foregone Conclu.
sion, no explanation is necessary.
With regard to the governorship OF
Tennessee, however, the case is differ.
ent, and we feel it to be our duty to
give our readers some of the reasons
which have brought US to this conclu-
sion. Permit us to say frst-which
we trust will be accepted in good
faith
That the success of the Democratic
party, which means the success OF
democratic doctrines, has been the
controlling motive; and to secure this
II is clearly apparent that great pru-
fence is necessary.
The time-honored maxim among
Democrats, Measures, not Men,"
means compromising spirit as to
personal preferences in order to secure
the triumph of principles and, guided
by this spirit, it has occurred to us
that the party in this State could
unite upon Governor Taylor, and,
furthermore, that any other course
would be disastrous and probably end
in defeat.
East Tennessee is entitled to an.
other term of the governorship, and
the moment that Bob Taylor is
dropped in the coming convention we
are satisfied that East Tennessee will
be dropped, and some aspirant from
one Of the other two divisions OF the
State selected.
In the next place, it has been the
custom of our party in this State to
give two terms to every governor, and
on that ground Taylor is entitled to a
denomination. Leaving out of the
question, however, the reasons we
have stated, ::and looking only to Off
cial merit, Governor Taylor is, in our
estimation, entitled to another term.
While we are conscious that his Off
cial acts have not given universal sat.
isfaction, his administration, as a
whole, has been eminently conserva-
live. Looking over the whole field,
taking everything into consideration,
for the reasons set forth, as well as
Others which we need not mention
just now, we favor the denomination
and reelection of Governor Robert L.
Taylur.-MoristoWn Democrat.

LOOKOUT

YOU little fellows. We are going to
elect "Our Bob" governor again. OF
course that means the passage Of the
Blair bill by the next General Assem-
bly, Of Tennessee. But before it is
passed by that body "Our Bob" and
his colonels, etc, ETC., are going to strip
it of all Federal supervision control
If it leaves the blsrsted thing as naked
as a bull-frog. The old reliable has a
regular skinning-knife, and it is going
to boss the job.

A SECOND NOMINATION.

Rutherford Democrat: Bob Taylor
has made good governor, his democ,
racy is not doubted, courtesy demands
a second nomination, and we do not
believe there are more than one or two
men in the state besides him who
could prevent that rapidly diminish
ing majority of the democratic party
in Tennessee from being completely
whipped out.

NOT FOR A CHANGE.

Fayetteville Observer A few papers
oppose Bob Taylor, but a large major
ity Of those which have spoken favor
his denomination. 1t is admitted by
all, we believe, that he has made an
efficient governor, but private griev-
ances seem to have more weight with
some people than the public good.
We do not see that the state or the
democratic party would be benefited
by change.

FRAMING A TARIFF BILL
A Plan of Revenue Revision
That May BE Effected With
Out SeriOuS Strain.

WASHINGTON, Feb. lS.-Chairman
Mills had Il long conference with Mr.
Randall to-day in reference to the pro-
posed reduction OF the revenues by a
scaling down of customs duties and
the repeal of certain internal taxes.
Chairman Mills said that he desired
to know what the protection Demo.
Gratis desired in the way of compro-
mise, hoping that the opposing wings
of the party might, reach some com
mon ground Of agreement. Mr.. Ran
dali expressed his qualification at the
willingness of the chsirman OF Ways
and Means to consider The question OF
harmonizing conflicting interests. He
said that he and his ,Qends were will
ing TO make any cone Iesslons consist.
ent with their obligations to their
constituents which might secure
united action. The distinguished gen.
tlemen parted with the understanding
that as soon as matters were further
progressed they would continue the
subject. In the meantime Mr.. Ran
dali will hasten the preparation Of the
outline Of a bill which will receive the
approval of his friends, so as to be
ready to submit it at the proper time.
He is particularly engaged in the ar
rangements of a metal schedule which
will adjust duties to the condition of
the interests involved and not injuri-
Gus to American labor. The indica-
tiOns seem to be favorable to an agree
ment. The subject of putting coal
and iron ore on the free list, which
has caused so much trouble among the
Democrats on the Committee on Ways
and Means, has been disposed of aban-
doning that proposition. The Demo-
Gratis are now moving to reduce the
dnty on each Of those articles from
seventy-five to fifty cents ton.

Chairman Mills, in reference to the
free list, is inclined to concede what
Mr.. Randall asks, except in the matter
If wool Mr.. Randall very frankly
informed the chairman that he would
not favor free wool and wouId oppose
the proposition in the House. Mr..
Mills said that he was glad to have
such frank declaration of his posi-
ton. 1t has been quietly agreed to
call Democratic caucus to fully con
slider the various propositions involved
in the proposed revenue reductions.

NEXT SUNDAYS GAME.
The National Game and the California
Leagus-Basebali Next Sunday


The Haverlys and the 6. & IS will play
q league game at Snowflake Park next Sum-
day, and close ard exciting contest may
be looked for, as the Hayerly IS are not yet
out OF the race for the penrant, and every
game counts. A feature of the contest will
be the coaching of Schafer, the G & Ms
second basemen. To see the Latham of the
Pacific is well worth the plice of admis-
sion. The Gail of recent date says: The
attendants at the HAight-sreet games never
tire of Schafers chatter on the coaching
line. The little basemsn's expressions are
so unique that the spectators are kept in a
continual roar of laughter"
The managers of S-o@hake Park have
applied for the admission OF CLUB from

League have sieniied their willingness to
Grant the application upoa certain terms,
which are now GnGer Consideration by the
local management The terms proposed
will be made public in q few days, and al
though not as satisfactory as anticipated,
will probably be accepted, if in the opinion
OF the management a club can DE organized
and maintained here which will equal.
and it is hoped excel he other clubs in the
league, and ~ the same time be self-sustain-
ing. That the receipts shall equal the ex-
persists all that's expected or desired, and if
convinced that such Will be the result, steps
will at once be taken to organize club, TO
be known as the Sacramentos,' which
will be thoroughly Representative Of the
Capitol city.
AS is evidenced by the example of Stock
ton during the season now drawing to
close, the presence of such g club, in addi-
ton . lis sport afforded, is of incalculable
benefit 70 the community il which it is
maintained, as an advertising medium
These consideration, it is hoped, will in
duce the public Of this city and vicinity TO
extend 10 the management d hearty CO.
operation and support. It is proposed, in
the event Of an Acceptance Of the terms
offered, to make n slight increase in the
rates of admission TO the park, this being
necessary by reason of the large expense

ton to and from the park. The admission
for ladies will be twenty five cents, trans
