WHAT THE PAPERS SAY.

Bristol Courier, Dem: The nomination
of ii. Clay Evans for Governor will help
the Republican Congressional candi-
didate in the Third District no little.
and will perhaps put beyond question
the certainty of the defeat of Congress.
man Snodgrass,
Bristol News: Hon. H. Clay Evans,
OF Chattanooga, one of the brightest.
b%rainiest and high toned men in the
State, was nominated by the Nashville
convention as the Republican candi-
date for Governor of Tennessee. Any.
way, he'll make it interesting for Old
Pete.
staff: II. Clay Evans will be our
next Governor and will be far ahead
of any man we have had for a number
of years,
Greeneville Republican: Hon. III.
Clay Evans was nominated for Govern
or at Nashville. Mr.. Evans is one of
the ablest men in the State. He was
Assistant Postmaster General under
Harrison, and showed himself SO emf
nently efficient that he was held in
office for quite awhile after the Demo-
Gratis came in. He is an able. speaker,
is well posted in politics, and will
stand a splendid chance of election.
He is m of the most successful law.
yers and business men of Chattanooga.
Hurrah for Evans, say we.
Morristown Republican: The nomi.
nation of the Hon. H. Clay Evans as
the Republican candidate for Gov
ernor, has met with the most enthusi.
astic approval of the rank and file of
the Republicans all over the State.
The nominee is easily the peer of any
man in the Republican party of Ten
nessee, and with such a standard bear.
er, the people of the party recognize
the fact that they have q fighting
chance. Mr.. Evans will make an
energetic, aggressive canvass, and his
party will rally to his support almost
to a man. The Democratic majority
Of the year 1894 will go down like the
mercury of a thermometer in a bliz-
zard, and it will not be any great sur
prise if it falls below zero.
Nashville American, DEM: The Re.
publicans have undoubtedly put forth
one OF the strongest of their party lead
ers as their nominee for Governor.
He is a Republican of the most pro-
nounced type, as his record in Congress
shows, and his speech of acceptance
confirms the statement. He is an en-
ergetic, hard working, well equipped
politician, and also a mar of affairs.
In his campaign for Congress he
showed undoubted ability as a cam
paigner, organizer, hard and untiring
worker, and it is only reasonable to
suppose that in the gubernatorial cam.
paign he will bring into use with re-
doubled energy these traits, which tell
in every election.
Dandrige News: H. Clay Evans was
nominated for Governor by the Repub.
lican convention at Nashville. He is
not only one of the ablest Republicans
in the State, but II of the ablest in
the South, and one who will make an
honorable race, and command the
highest reSpect and full support of his
party.
Elizabethton Mountaineer Hon. H.
Clay Evans was nominated at Nash
vile as the next Republican candidate
for Governor of Tennessee. The nom-
ination of Mr., Evans shows the good
sense of the Republicans of the State.
No citizen is better known than he.
n none have been more prominently
identified with the States material
welfare. Evans is a good man.
Chattanooga Press: Nearly all of the
newspapers of the State without regard
to party have, in commenting on the
nomination of II. Clay Evans recog-
nized his integrity, ability and general
fitness for the Office of Governor. 1t
will be a glad day for Tennessee when
its chief magistrate is a man of Evans
intelligence, vigor, progressiveness and
capacity for business. And even in
many of the more partisan Democratic
journals it can be read between the
lines that they think this is true.
