OF Senator Sherman to be the Repub-
lican candidate for President. We
second the nomination.
1t will be Jolly time running John
Sherman in this State. All the friends

would the business interests. In front

The Third Party MOvem emit

Memphis ScimetGr.
The prohibitionists Of Tennessee
seem determed to imperl the chances
OF the democratic party in the next
state and national campaigns, and are
resolved to put their own candidate in
the field. This means inevitable de-
feat to the democratic party, not any
too strong now. The friends OF prohi-
bition are warned that no good can
come of thrusting this issue upon the
people in campaign which involves
the prosperity of the state and its tu-
ture welfare. The democratic party
will have no votes to spare in the next
election, not one, and the result will
be foregone conclusion if the prohi-
bitionists persist in the course fore
Swallowed at their convention yester-
day. Argument, personal appeals,
every legitimate method Of persuasion,
should at once be invoked to deter
them from so suicidal a policy. There
are worse things than the unrestricted
sale of liquors, and one OF them is
heavy taxation, another waste OF pub
lie funds, another bankruptcy OF the
state treasury, all of which evils are
threatened by the success of the re-
publican party in the next state cleo
ton. The prohibitionists carry a
grave responsibility on their shoulders,
They cannot be too careful how they
bear the burden. 1t is not too late yet
to prevent the threatened mischif, and
it is to be hoped that measures will be
at once adopted by local party organi-
cations everywhere to block this pro-
hibition scheme. There is no time to
lose.

Maj. Mcconnell, while engaged in
too ardently "laying pipes" for the
nomination for Governor, ran against
q small size buzz saw up in the Fourth
Congressional district. In his indie
cent haste to get Democratic commit
tees that favored him he overstepped
the bounds Of proprety and authori'
ty and on his own hook appointed a
congressional committee for that dis
trict. The majority Of that committee
was opposed to the denomination of
Mr.. McMillen to congress while it
evidently was opposed to Gov. Tay-
lor. Mcconnell had no authority
whatever to appoint the committee
and more especially since there was
already a committee regularly APP
pointed. The appointments were
made through Mcconnell himself and
not made officially through the Secre'
tary of the state committee, and that
without consulting any Of the remain
ing committeeman, Mcconnell, fnd.
ing himself fairly entrapped by his
over-zeslousness in his own case, has
revoked the appointments and is Ia
boring to smooth matters over. This
has proven to be a sad blight on Maj
McConnells hopes for obtaining as a
following even a corporal's guard in
that district, while his selfishness and
chicanery is being condemned by hi'
former friends all over the state. Hi'
unscrupulousness as a politician has
been fully demonstrated in his action
in the above instance and will rebound
to anything but his preferment.-

An Unwarranted Charge.

The Morristown Gazette says that
Gov. Taylor made disgusting, if not
disgraceful, speech before the Demo
cratic State convention OF 1884, when
he was nominated for elector for the
State at large, in which he said, in
substance, that he wanted to get over
the mountains among decent people
to speak, etc,
1t is strange passing strange, that
the newspaper that only short time
ago placed Bod Taylor's name at the
head of its columns as its choice for
U. S. Senator over all other candidates,
should now turn upon him and stab
him in the back with an unwarranted
and unjust charge. Oh, shame, where
is thy blush Disgusting and dis
graceful speech Why, that speech
electrified the great convention, and
at its close Bob Taylor was nomi-
mated by reclamation. Would the
Democratic party disgrace itself by
nominating man to canvass the
State who had Just made disgusting
and disgraceIuI speech2 Hardly, we
think.
Bob Taylor said he wanted to get
over among decent people to speak
Oh, no he said no such thing in form
or substance. You say his exact Ian.
guage was published and can be pro.
duced. Yes, the proceedings were
published in the Nashville papers.
Produce report from any OF them
that bears out your statement, or JUS
titles it, or souints at it, and we will
take his name down from this paper
and refuse longer to support him for
Governor.
Defeat Bob Taylor ii you can But
fight him manfully, fight him fairly
fight him honestly. Democrats OF
Tennessee are not going to submit to
this kind Of persecution. They are
not going to sit still and see the man
who has spent the better part OF his
life fighting the battles OF Democracy
abused and misrepresented and SLAM
1ered.
