Ex-Gov. bob" Taylor's Lecture.

One of the most unique political cam
paigns in the history of this country was
that between the Taylor brothers for Gov
ernor of Tennessee few years ago. Bob
was the Democratic, while "Alf" his
brother, was the Republican candidate.
They each used the keenest weapons OF
wit, humor, sarcasm, and subtle argument
entirely devoid OF anything of an offensive
personal character. They Travelled to-
gether, roomed together, and were full OF
brotherly love, but at all times politically
''at daggers' points" Their contest was
known as the war of Roses, " because each
of Bob's followers wore a white rose on
the lapel of his coat as the sign of De-
mocracy, while "Alf's" disciples Wore The
red.
Bob" always had an eloquent passage
in his political speech for the ladies, aud
it is needless TO say he made votes by it.
In his lecture at MetZerott's Music Hall on
Thursday, May 8, ex-Goy. Bob" will
have in his superb lecture on "Visions and
Dreams" something humorous, witty. and
intensely entertaining that viii particu-
iarly interest the ladies.

1T IS related that Judge Dallas
the other day at Philadelphia re-
jected the application of twenty
eight out fifty three foreigners who
desired to be naturalized. One of
them could not tell who was the
first President or what George
Washington was noted for. An
other did not know why we cele-
brate the 4th of July, and when
asked who Gen. Grant was said he
had never heard of him. The Re-
publican papers applaud Judge
Dallas for his action, but appear
not to appreciate the point that he
is depicting the Republican vote
of the future. If the Republican
voters were subjected to the same
sort of an examination, the party
in this State would disband. Some
of them would answer the ques-
tions, but they would feel too lone
some to stand up and be counted.
