OUR CANDIDATE FOR GOVERNOR.

va vi oO Y EIlIN OIl.
Hon. H. Clay Evans, who was noni-
mated for Governor by the Republican
convention last week, is a well known
and quite popular citizen; is about
fifty years old, butlooks some younger.
He is by birth a Pennsylvania, but
spent most of his boyhood in Wisconsin.
He enlisted in a Wisconsin regiment
and came to Tennessee as q private SOL
der. He was mustered out of the
service in 1864, in Chattanooga, and
has made that place his home ever
since.
He is a business man of unusual
ability, and has for years been closely
identified with the business interests of
Chattanooga. In 1870 he connected
himself with the Roane Iron Company,
of which no vas manager for a num-
Der of years, and is now at the head of
the Chattanooga Car aud Foundry
Company, and is interested in other
enterprises in that city. He has served
two terms as Mayor of Chattanooga,
and represented the Third District in
Congress, being elected in 1888. A
short time before the close of President
Harrison's term he was made First
Assistant Postmaster General, which
position he held for some time after
Mr.. Cleveland's Inauguration, his es
pecial fitness for the duties of the office
being fully acknowledged by his po-
litical enemies. In fact, in whatever
position Mr.. Evans has been placed he
has ever shown himself equal to the
demand, and never failed to master
the situation. He has been an i'm
portant factor in Chattanooga de-
velopment, and has done much for the
development Of the of the
State of his adoption.
He is a ready speaker, has q pleasant
and striking personal appearance, and
makes friends wherever he is known.
AS a campaigner he is vigorous and
aggressive, and once he engages in the
race if he does not win, will push the
winner uncomfortably close. Let every
Republican in the State buckle on his
armor and prepare to do battle for the
standard bearer of the party, and our
friends, the enemy, will realize that
there is a good deal of life left in the
party of honesty and progress.

WE have a contempt for a delegate

the ticket, not only vote but work
