ed his appointment to Senator Har-

"T'he Appeal opposes his re-
election to third term because it

1t also opposes his reelection be-
cause he, himself, pledged himself
never again to be a candidate tor
any Office III speech he made in
the Maxwell House, at Nashville,
on the day in January, 1888, when
he was re>elected. He then said;

that he is the choice of the masses.
Whenever he came upon the streets
the people were all eager to grasp
his hand-the hand OF statesman
and friend. The Star knows that
the masses Of Hardeman democrats
are for Atkins, They know that he
is a man after their own heart =
that he is pure-thaI he dOes not
