WE had the pleasure of meeting
Judge B. M. WEBB, of Smithville,
who was in our midst a short time
last Friday. Yielding to the strong
pressure of many influential friends
Judge WEBB has entered the can
vass for the supreme judgeship with
an energy and vim that is thorough
ly characteristic of the man, and his
candidacy is being strongly endors-
ed in all parts of the State He is
eminent as a jurist, a just and up
right Judge, a heightened, cultured,
christian gentleman, and judges of
men and attorneys regard him as in
every respect welI-ftted and worthy
of place upon the supreme bench
of Tennessee.

ELSEWHERE in this issue may be
found a notice to taxpayers from
Trustee W. j. BARNES. Under sec
ton SO, chapter 60, of the acts of
1889, county trustees are required
"on the first Tuesday in February
or as soon thereafter as practicable
to deliver to cOnstables a certified
list of unpaid taxes, and when once
in their hands heavy costs and pen
allies accrue which can not be re-
mitted. Thus it is left alone with
the trustee to decide as to when it is
"practicable' to deliver these lists
for collection. The stringency of
money matters, which has been al
most unprecedented, has suggested
such a policy at this time. Not
withstanding the extreme dizziness
of the money market the trustee has
tured in and was credited with war.

now only thirty years OF age, but
endowed with that keen intellect
and quick perception which will
not admit of plodding, He is uni
versally acknowledged one Of the
looming men" Of Tennessee. He
has our best wishes for his success,
and our confidence and belief that
he will be the right man in the
right place, no matter how great
the success which he may achieve
no matter how high the heights to
which he may attain.
We would also add that this is
not an age when we can afford a
prodigal waste of brains and capac-
ity. Not an age when we can af-
ford to fill our important Offices
with our friends, to the exclusion
Of these very necessary qualities.
Mr.. RYE has been employed in
! the Interior Department, at Wash
in&ton City, since last May, during
which period he has formed quite
a circle of warm and admiring
friends.
He has had his eye on the attor-
ney-generaIship of his district, and
has often been heard to declare that
to fill that position was his only
ambition. We believe, if elected,
he can and will discharge the du-
ties of the position with honor to
himself and credit to the district.
He is a Democrat of answering
faith, and has given much Of his
time and means to the cause. He
has never failed to 90 out and work
when necessary, and in the last
campaign did as much work as any
man of his age in Tennessee. Re.
alizing the necessity of organiza.
ton, he entered the fight, and did
what he could. He has been fight.
ing the battles Of his party as best
he could since a mere boy, and thi,
is the first time in his life he has
ever asked anything at the hands
of his party.
He will return to Camden in {
short while to enter upon the can
yass, and will visit the differen
counties at the earliest possible mo
ment. We hope that the distric
will be inclined to honor the httl,
county Of Benton with the attorney
generalship for the next term.

THERE is considerable interest being
manifested in certain circles in regard
to the next Republican candidate from
this District. Several of the old "War
Horses" have their lightning rods up
and an active canvass is being made in
their behalf. The people of this Dis
trict are simply tired of being tied to
some old political hack. We have
been led to the slaughter long enough
We commend the action of Gov. Rich
in appointing II young. progressive
talented Republican as United States
Senator. Could not the Republicans
of the Seventh District wisely follow
this course in the selection of their
candidate? While not advocating any
mans boom, we think the selection OF
some such man as Judge Beach, OF
Sanilac county. or Judge Vance, OF
this county, would please the people
and result in certain victory.
