tor and his Republican colleagues at Wash
ington, and they argue that II comes too
near election day. True they have no OBJ
lection to his being returned since he has
never worried them much anyhow, but
they prefer allowing the Democrats to
fight II out among themselves. The idea
of being made cat's-paw OF does not sit
lightly on their stomachs.
SINCE THE CONFERENCE
OF Democratic Representatives last night,
the workers Tor Senator Harris have been
figuring again. This time the results range
all the way from fifty to sixty votes, the
latter being claimed only by the hilariously
enthusiastic ones; but this is not two
thirds, they see, and the next point to be
arrived at is how to pu, the Senator
through. The program now is TO ballot
under the two-thirds rule until the caucus
has become fatigued, then spring resolu-
ton repeating il in favor OF the majority
rule and thus end the agony in jilIy. 1t
is well settled that the asme body adopt
ing a rule may repeal it, but the resolution
adopted by the Conference by an acclama-
ton vote and with only one dissenting
voice, pledges the fifty odd members
adopting the two-third rule to an involate
observance of it. Soon after the rule was
adopted Mcssrs Charley Miller and Joel
b. Fort were together in the latters room
and Miller raised the question OF reconsd.
ering it. "Oh, no, said Mr.. Fort, 1--WE
had better not undertake that; il we do
Lewis will burst that Convention all to
pieces" And so he and the other lovers
OF good old Democratic principles and
precedents would. Many who cannot
escape voting for Senator Harris, even
though it is bitter pill, would repudia.e
the effort and more than likely desert him
for the man Of their choice.
HARRIS RECRUITS.
Col. Abe Looney, Mr.. Thomas b. Tur-
ley, Col. Josiah Patterson, Co julie Tay-
Tor, and other recruits for the Harris
guard are here. MIR. Andrew J. Harris
was here until tonight, but returned, in
answer TO a summons, TO the bedside of
his sick wife. Mr.. James X. Algee OF the
Scimiidr, is also here, which gives the
newspapers supporting the Senator u large
representation. Senator J. NJ. Crews says
while he is personally, and instructed for,
Senator Harris, Gen. Atkins is his second
choice and he will 20 TO him whenever
the change would be graceful and sensi-
bic. He Is not for dead-locking the eau
Gus unnecessarily should the opposition
show steady gains. Senator 7. ID. Craig.
head, representing Davidson and Cheat
ham, is another solon who is happy in the
exempted privilege OF exercising his per-
sonal preference Tor United States Sena-
tor. Cheatham County is conceded TO
Gen. Atkins by a crushing majority OF over
two 10 one. Davidson is not for Senator
Harris in reality, yet Senator Craighead il
not only ayowed TO Harris in his vote, but
is losing sleep TO work for him. Cheatham
is therefore entirely misrepresented, rs is
the real sentiment Of Davidson.
