of Hon. A. FL. Pettibone, the silver
tongued orator of East Tennessee,
for the Republican candidate for
Governor. The republican party
could not search the Slate over and
find man who would make more
dignified, and at the same time, a
more vigorous canvass. AS elect
or for the State at Large he made
themost stirring canvass ever made
in this State, speaking to immense
audiences in the very strong-hOlds
of democracy. He is one of the
most scholarly men, and one Of the
most magnetic orators in Tenn
essee. EIe is probably the best
posted man in the South on the
tariff and can explain the vital
principals of the republican party
in language that any one may I'M
derstand, and be convinced. He
made a brilliant record in Congress-
and is known all over the
United States as the silver tongued
crater OF Tennessee. His grand
eulogy of the lamented Gar
field deliI cred IN Congress, was
printed in elegant form and was
distributed throughout the United
states by the Government. He en-
joyed the lifelong friendship of
Garfield, and WAS highly esteemed
by the mar,yred President. East
Tennessee is entitled to the race

ticket and il ii is given to Major

West Tennessee, and put them to

We verify believe that if Mr.. Pet
tibone is nominated witkont ssri-
Gus opposition, he will be the next
Governor of Tennessee. Major Pet
tibone has not consented to his
name being used as candidate
fer the nomination., but we feel
confident should his party call on
him, he win inaugurate canvass
which will make the fur fly.

ately for suggesting such thing.
Don't the News know that Jchn
Houk has to be consulted about
such things? This is the most au-
dacious suggestion We have heard
of for some time. Why, Mr.. News,
we will let you know "our John" is

we are. Why, Johnnie will blast
you with his wrath for suggesting

and how earnestly we defend his
choice for governor? Well we,
like i, foo sc was, went down to

didn't happen to agree with our

thing, and hNd ,he audacity to vote
as our own mind directed, and
with mighty "cuss" John proceed

the News man don't want to get a
similar interview he had better let
his wishes subSida and agree with
John. Major Cofman must be the
next candidate for governor. The
ejict has gone forth to the east, the
west, the south and the north.
Come along, brother, don't kick
