CAN'T UNDERSTAND IT.
Chairman Sanders On the Present
Gubernatorial Agitation.
Believes 1t is Being Kept Up by Office
Holders Who Are Receiving
Extravagant Fees.

~ can not imagine what Secretary
OF State Morgan wants with the list of
voters in the various countess" said
Newell Sanders, Chairman of the Re-
publican State Committee, yesterday.
ut is something that was never done
before. Then, too, an exception was
evidently made in favor OF Davidson
County, for that county has not been
requested to send in its poll lists.
THE letters and kilograms receive
show a feverish excitement through
out the State" continued Mr.. Sanders.
ut is caused by the statement that
Mr.. Evans will not be allowed to take
his seat, or that il he is it will be de
layed until after the legislature has
passed new laws changing the powers
OF the Governor; and the board of in
spectors composed of the present Gov.
ernor, the Secretary of State and the
Attorney General, will receive the re-
turns and declare whom they please
to be elected.
Now, the powers and the functions
OF the board of inspectors are, section
l,O47 of the State code, limited to this:
10 compare the vote for Senators and
Representatives and to declare the re-
suit They have nothing to do with
comparing the vote or declaring the
result for Governor. The constitution
of the State, article ILL.,, section g.
says: The returns Of every election
for Governor shall be sealed up and
transmitted to the seat of the Govern.
ment by the returning officer, directed
to the speaker of the Senate, who shall
open them in the presence of a majority
of the members of each House of the
General Assembly. The person having
the highest number of votes shall be
Governor.
Mr. Evans has received majority
OF the votes cast as shown by the re-
turns Of the Sheriffs Of the respective
counties. The people of the State will
see that he is seated, and without un-
necessary delay. Governor Turney
has said that if Mr.. Evans has received
a majority of even one vote he will
promptly yield the seat to him. 1 do
not believe that Governor Turney will
consent to be usurper for even a day.
Neither do l believe that Democrats or
Republicans will permit 1t.
II believe the present agitation is
being kept up by Office holders receiv-
ing extravagant fees, and that they
will find that elections are held and
laws made for the benefit Of the people,
and not for the sole benefit of the Of
fee holders"

JONEBORO TENNESSEE WEDNESDAY, NOV @,

est, fearless and able executive was
more badly needed. The State is dy.
ing of dry rot. Its enterprises are
languishing under the burdens put
upon them by cheap demagogues. The
life blood ia being sucked out of the
taxpayers by useless burdens and a
careless, extravagant, feegrabbing COM
bination. The finances are admins
tered in the crudest fashion without
any distinct plan and in the most
criminal carless fashion. While old
fogy officials nod in their easy chairs
and demagogues shout to gaping yaps
in odd places, smart tricksters, fee
grabbers and piehunters have their
arms up to the elbows in the pockets
of the people. For example, take the
million dollar penitentiary affair, with
its marble halls and gilded domes,
when less than one fourth OF the sum
would have been ample for oil require
ments.
So far as we are concerned, we in
tend to treat Mr.. Evans with the re-
spect due the Governor OF the State,
prepared 10 praise him il he deserves

office on partisan lines.

The Original Lovers Leap.

Sappho's Leap was the name given
to white cliff or promontory anciently
called Leucadia, now Cape Ducato, at
the southern extremity of Santa Maura,
one of the Ionian Islands. 1t was SO
called because Sappho, the poetess, is
reported to have thrown herself from
this height into the sea. A criminal,
with birds attached to him to break
his fall, was thrown from the cliff at
the annual festival of Apollo, and if
he reached the water unhurt he was
picked up by boats placed there for
that purpose. This is the rock from
which, according to the story, lovers
throw themselves in order to be free
from the pangs Of love.--Philadelphia

LITERARY NOTES.

Mrs. Burton Harrison is writing a
series of articles for and about society
girls which The Ladies Home Journal
will begin in one of its early issues.
When his present American visit is
concluded Conan Doyle will write an
article for The Ladies' Home Journal
on American women, telling "How
Your Women Impressed Me-"
The quaint little women of Kate
Greenway are to be seen in magazine
for the first time since their creation.
Miss Greenway has heretofore always
drawn them in color and for book pub
lication. Now, however, she is at work
upon special series of her curious tots
for The Ladies' Home Journal, and in
that periodical they will alternate with
a new series of Palmer Cox's funny
Brownies.

Danger From Catarrh.

The most important feature about
that very common complaint, catarrh
in the head, is its tendency 20 develop
into some other more serious and dan
gerious disease. The foul matter drop
ping from the head into the bronchial
tubes or lungs is very liable to lead to
bronchitis or consumption, that destroy
er which causes more deaths in this
country than any other disease. As
catarrh originates in impurities in the
blood, local applications can do but
little good. The common sense meth
cd of treatment is to purify the blood,
and for this purpose there is no prepar-
ton superior to Hoods Sarsaparilla.
The powerful action of this medicine
upon the blood expells every impurity,
and by so doing cures catarrh and gives
health to the entire organism,

FAIR PLAY FOR EVANS.
The Memphis Scimitar on Mingling Re
grets With Epithets.

The Memphis scimitar on Mingling Re
grets With Epithets.
Good citizens generally, independent
of party, will condemn the intemper-
ate tone of the few partisan journals
in Tennessee which mingle their re-
grets with epithets in discussing the
wreck of the Democracy in Tennessee
by the recent Republican tidal wave.
However distasteful it may be to the
party, the triumph of the Republican
nominee for Governor is a dose which
must be taken. Matters can net
be mended by abusing Evans as
"Carpet bagger." He has been elected,
not merely Governor of the Republi.
can party, but of the State of Tennes-
see. On the face of the returns he has
received a plurality of all the votes
cast and it is good old Democratic
rule that the will of the most is su-
preme.
1t is one thing to salt down the can
didates of the opposing party before
election, but quite another to continue
the picking process after they have
been elected. The commonest princi-
pies of correct citizenship would seem
to point to the wisdom of supporting
an official by all classes of voters until
it is shown that he is unworthy of their
confidence. Mr.. Evans has not been
inaugurated Governor of Tennessee.
He is yet to be tried and justice de-
mands that he be given fair chance
before he is condemned.
In the first place If he is to be utterly
condemned because he is carpet
bagger," u large portion of the voters
of the State must be put under the ban
with him. II none except native born
Tennesseeans are to be esteemed worthy
of confidence, some hundreds of thou.
sands of the best men in the State are
outside the pale of respectability.
Mr.. Evans has resided in Tennessee
for many years. He has been very
active in promoting the material af-
fairs Of his section of the State. Those
who know him best declare him to be
public spirited, broad minded and pos.
sessed of unusual acumen. He appears
to be particularly fitted for the con-
duct of large affairs.
If it should transpire that Mr.. Evans
has not only the capacity, but the de-
sire to promote the material welfare
of Tennessee, if he will align himself
with the best element of the general
assembly, il he has the manhood and
the patriotism to shake himself aloof
from narrow partisan ties, il he will
make Tennessee real modern, up to
date Governor, the Scinitar will stand
by him, hurraL for him and il neces.
sary bet money on him.

! history Of Tennessee when q live, hon.

A Welcome Form Of Second Sight.

Second sight, by which is meant
throwing aside spectacles in old age,
occurs to those who were shortsighted
in youth and proceeds from the like
cause that requires persons with nor
NAL sight to use them-viz, the flatten.
ing of the eye in the one case requiring
to be corrected with magnifying glass
es, while in the other case the same
flattening of the eye brings it into it's
normal state.
The late John Stewart of Belladrum,
Invernesshire, some time M. P. for
Beverly, recovered his sight and left
off the use Of his spectacles long after
he was seventy years old. He died
some twenty years ago, aged ninety

Memphis Avalanche: Judge Nc
Cory, we are told, has settled the CUB
ernatorial question, and announces that
Turney has been elected Governor of
Tennessee. The judge has been devot.
ing several days of his valuable time to
an investigation of the returns, and
reaches his portentious conclusions af.
ter careful consideration and toilsome
labor. 1t was given out few days ago,
with grand flourish of trumpets, that
the returns were to be guarded sacredly
until the last tally sheet was received.
They were too precious for the vulgar
gaze Of any but the elect and chosen.
Now that Judge McCorry has taken the
matter in his own hands and settled it
according to his own sagacious ways,
thinking people will be little curious
to know by what open sesame or occult
power the judge obtained access to the
official returns. Does the judge belong
to the elect? Is he the sole lay reposi-
tory Of the States secr.tsp Are seals
broken aud strong boxes unlocked at
the judges wish, and is he superior to
and above the Governor or Secretary of
State? Or is it that the judges start

Cory in being permitted to reveal at

they are from the eyes Of ordinary NOR.
tails. Newspaper reporters have tried
In vain to secure the information which
Judge McCorry vouchsafes with such
freedom, and newspaper reporters are
considered some pumpkins in delving
into facts and unraveling mysteries.
The great question now agitating the
public mind is not that Judge McCorry
should discover that Gov. Turney was
reelected, and that the bad Republicans
voted irregularly. What gives the pub
lie paih and distress is a pining to
know how the sapient judge found il

Evans For Vice President.

Knoxville Journal.
The nomination and election of Fl.
Clay Evans as Vice President of the
United States in 1895 would be COM
pliment to the Republicans of the State
and an honor to Tennessee. That it
can be accomplished and should be is
the belief of almost every Republican
with whom we have conversed. How
10 accomplish it Is what Republicans
of this State are asking themselves.
That the canvass he has made of the
State has contributed largely to the
splendid victory won, almost everyone
will agree. His speeches were unan-
swerable arguments and his conclu-
sions irresistible. To hear him honestly
and impartially was to be convinced.
He showed the utter flimsiness of the
claims so arrogantly made by the par
ty that has misled the State for quar-
of century, and laid bare some of the
acts that would not bear exposure.
That he was elected is not surprising,
yet under the circumstances 1t is com.
plimentary to the patriotism and in.
telligence Of Tennessee voters.
Now if Tennessee Republicans and
all other good citizens will stand by
Mr.. Evans and give him fair chance
he will give US an administration Of
which everyone will have good reason
to feel proud. Let Republicans es-
pecially hold up his hands, and let
them everywhere refrain from doing
anything that will embarrass his ad-
ministration.
Do all this and this administration
will be great success and in 1896 we
may 60 before the national convention
with arguments that can not be an
swered. Let us nominate him for Vice
President in 1896.

The Cha ttanooga Press has the fol-
lowing to say about the performances
Of James A. Harris who distinguished
himself once at Caswell's barn in the
Seventh Ward in the city of Knoxville:
We have been informed that on sew
eral occasions James Harris, the comp
troller, has remarked to Democratic &C
quaintanccs, thinking that they would
be in sympathy with such procedure,
that Evans was elected, but Turney
would be made Governor. Now let
every good citizen turn this over in his
mind. Let him realize that this man
is high official of the State, entrusted
with the handling of very large sums
of the States money, yet, if the reports
be true, he is dishonest enough to be
willing to be party to the crime Of de-
feating the will of the people by steal.
ing their votes in order to put over them
a man whom they have rejected. Har-
ris' performance in Knoxville politics
are pointers to his character. Tennes,
see is q great State, but it staggers un-
der the burden of such officials. II
Harris has been saying what pretty
straight reports tell of, he is not worthy
of trust in any position.
If Harris has had such talk as this
the people have right to know it.
Public funds are unsafe in the hands
of any man who entertains such views
concerning popular elections.

WHAT THE BOARD SHOULD KNOW.

WHAT IhE bOAhD SHOULD KNOW.
Nashville Banner: "The State Board
OF Inspectors is taking ample time to
compare the vote for Senators and Rep
resentatives. The whole State mean
while is waiting to get from the board
the official returns for Governor. The
sooner the board does it work and gives
the press access to the official returns,
the better the people will be satisfied.
All this talk about an effort to count
Gov. Turney in on the McCorry howl
OF horror is causing much restlessness
and exciting indignation even among
Democrats. They delay of the board
only adds to the uneasiness and suspic-
ion. There should be no more mystery
thrown around the result. This is the
first time in tho history of the State
when the press has not had free access
to the returns as the came in. The pub
lication of the vote for Governor asi
appears on the face of the returns, now
that the returns are all in, will not give
occasion for any manipulation Of re.
turns by county officials, but, on the
other hand, will be the surest way of
preventing fraud. The board should
know, if it does not know, that there
is growing restlessness and excitement.
The board would do nothing improper
in allowing the publication of the vote
for Governor as taken from the official
returns. 1t should not consult its own
convenience, but should have regard
for the public whom it serves. Let the
board put an end te the my stery of the
returns"
