HE DON'T NEED IT.

TheChattanooga Times is responsible
for therumor thot Coy. Taylor had de-
cided to appoint John Il. Essary to the
position Of superintendent Of prisons.
We do not credit the report and arc
glad to note that Gov. Taylor denies
that it is true Mr. Essary is now col
lector of international revenue, posi-
ton which he secured through the in
fiuence of Gov. Taylor and which pays
about $3, 800 a year His time will not
expire until next summer, when he will
have served out term of four years
and will have received as salary some
thing like fifteen thousand dollars. Tc
transport him into lucrative position
would, in our Judgment, be crowding
things considerably. Mr.. Essary is no
the only democrat in East Tennessee
there are others just as worthy and JUS
as much entitled to recognition, an(
there is no reason in the world WIN
Mr.. Essary should not step aside anC

Hon. Thomas B. Reed, the soul of
the republican party, has not gone
into duck-fts over the election of Nc
Kinley, and doesn't seem to care who
knows it. He never mentioned the
name of Mckinley during his cam
paign, and, in fact, didn't say much of
anything to the point. His remarks
before the board of trade of Duluth, a
few days ago, show that he has any
thing but an optomistic view of the
next administration. These are his
words:
81 am not here to talk politics, and
do not want to, but since you insist
will say that we have had an election.
Vigorous applause,) That, L believe,
is an assured fact. daughter. } Wheth-
er the result be right or wrong we must

to $50,000,00 below its expenses we
