EVANS NOMINATED.

The Republican convention which
meet at Cleveland last week nomi-
mated H.. Clay Evans of Chattanooga
as their candidate for congressman
from this district. The patriots of
the e. o. p. in and around Chattanoo-
ga stirred up quite bitter row over
the contest for the nomination, and
Whitesides, a prominent Chattanoo-
ga Republican, has openly confessed
the crime of stuffing two Of the ballot
boxes in Chattanooga for Evans to
the extent of about 400 tickets, four
years ago, and further claims that
Evans was cognizant of the crime.
This, of course, Evans denies, but the
matter has produced a rumpus of no
small proportions in the Republican
camp, and will result in an increased
majority for the Democraticcandidate,
Hon. Creed f. Bates.

The Republican Nominee.

The Republican candidate for
Governor of Tennessee, Capt. Samuel
w. Hawkins, is a nativeof Carroll
County and lives there still. His
family consists of his wife, who was
Miss Gardner, of Carroll County, and
four children. He is A years old, a
man of very small stature, pleasing
countenance, profusley bearded, and
has an open and attractive manner
and conversation. He is of good
lineage, having come from long
line of respectable ancestry. Agreat-
great-grandfather was an officer under
Cromwell. He is a second cousin of
eX-Gov. Alvin Hawkins. His father,
Hon. Isaac r. Hawkins, was an
officer of the Mexican war and
member of congress after the close of
the civil war, and a Colonel of the
Seventh Federal Cavalry Regiment,
of which S. w. Hawkins was
Adjutant.

The Congressional Campaign.

Hon. Creed F. Bates and Hon. II.
Clay Evans the Democratic and Re-
publican candidates for Congress in
this district opened their campaign
with speeches at Graysville, Rhea
county, last Saturday. 1t was on the
occasion of big barbecue, and all re-
ports concur in the pleasing evidence
that Bates used up Evans in great
shape. The Morristown Gazette
concludes a reference to the days
work as follows: "The report is that
no man ever got such a drubbing on
the hustings as Evans received. The
democrats of Rhea are jubilant, and
say that Bates is going to make Ev-
ans's life a burden until the campaign
closes"

How it Was Done.

Some of our exchanges are twirling
out logic and fine spun theories by
the yard to show how the nominal
ton of Mr.. Bates was brought about,
but our friend Halsey, of the South
Pittsburg Standard, strikes the key
note in the following, which we clip
from his last weeks issue:
"The McMinnville girl is crea-
ure divinely fair, divinely beautiful,
and possessed of a disposition that we
suspect may be classed as divine.
When we die we want to go heaven
by the way Of McMinnville. We
shouldalso like to be buried there. 1t
would be sweet to rest forever in a
McMinnville grave yard and to know
that the dear girls of that thrifty vii
lage were walking all around you.
Greed Bates owes his success to the
girls of McMinnville. 1t was due
largely to their efforts that he succeed
ed in securing the nomination. 1t
was the girls who pulled the wires
of the McMinnville convention and
they pulled 'em quite earnestly for
the Chattanooga man. God bless
the girls of McMinnville. Let's
keep their memory green. They are
such good democrats"
