NASHVILLE Nov. 15.-[SpecIal.l i
The pies are being cooked, and office
seekers are preparing for the race.
"Who will fill such and euch an
Office" is the question that has con-
stantly been asked since Pete Tur-
ney's election to the Governors
chair.
The list of aspiraTts who will try
their luck is a long one. 1t contains
names from parties all over the State.
The new Governor, however, has not
made up his mind as to who his cabi-
net will be, but the HERALD's cores
pondeut, after q careful investigation,
and after interviewing many pOliti-
clans who have very clear heads, has
come to the conclusion that III fol
lowing will probably be the lucky
ones: Coal Oil Inspector, Walter
Cain; Adjt-General, Col. Kellar An
derson; Superintendent OF Public
Instruction, H. c. Weber; Superin-
tendaut of Capitol Grounds, Robert
Quarles; Commissioner of AgricuI-
ture, JoLu E. Turney, Jr.; Warden at
Penitentiary, J. S. Pearcy; High
Sheriff, John E. Turney, Sr. The
others have not been definitely set
tied upon, or rather guessed. Other
aspirants, of course, claim that they
will be sin it' when the time comes.
Col. Granville Sewer and VIM.
Haynie are after the Adjutant Gen
eralship, but Col. Anderson will
surely be offered the place for his
bravery in defending the honor of the
State in the late uprising at Coal
Creek Walter Cain, editor of the
American, has, it is claimed, a cinch
on the Coal Oil Inspectors office.
Who his assistant will be is not
known, but among others the names
of Reau Folk, Laps d. McCord and
Douglass Anderson, are spoken Of.
The name of Col. Duncan B. Cooper,
proprietor of the Am rican, is spoken
OF for Postmaster General of the
United States, aud an effort will be
made by Democrats of Tennessee to
have him appointed to that place.
Judge McCOrry will probably take
the place of his whiskers, Maj A. w.
Wills, at the pOst-office here.
The meeting of the new legislature
in January wilt be an important
event, for the reason that great
fight will take place. Ex-Gov. VIM.
b. Bate, (present incumbeuD and
H. CO., DO,art T TauIOr fvy,, faTnaI
will max the race for the
United States Senatorship. Neither
one will have walk-over, but tie |
general belief il that Gen. Bate will |
be reelected by very small |
majority.
There are many aspirants for tho
offices of Clerk of the Senate and |
House. Frank Chambers, of Gibson |
County, and Ben Holloway, OF VIII
son, are the only ones really in the |
race for Clerk of the Senate. Ro- |
Tolls OF Davidson. Ed Taylor Of
Knox, Frank Wilson of Shelby, ami |
several others are after the Cleckship |
Ot the Lower House,
Mrs. G. p. McCarver, widow of the
late ex-Mayor McCarver, is in tn. |
race for State Librarian. Mrs. Will
iams, the inc umbent, is also after
5he place. Several other deserving
widows are in the race, but the first
named will probably be elected.
Letters are pouring into Judge
home from different towns
n the State. Tney are from men
who want to be Coal Oil Inspector al
heir village, commissioner of so and
%, etc.
1t is stated on:goOd authority that
3ov.-eiect Turney will appoint his
cabinet this week, thereby saving
10 much worry and disappointing 50
many people.
