so sensitive that he could not bear the
idea of making the race, when he dis
covered that some democrats were not
going to work for him. No man could
have withdrawn with more grace and
forgiveness than did Dr. Berry, and
his every act in the whole transaction,
only tended to make him more friends.
Walter Faw, who was put out in his
stead, is a man of splendid parts, and
will surely be elected. He seems to
have satisfied every faction, and has q
popularity among all classes that will
evidently give him victory. He is a

ALL the fiddles in the world are play
ing themselves without bow and utter
ing the sweetest strains that ever pulsed
in catgut The Hon. Robert or Bob
Taylor, once elected governor of Ten
nessee after the most memorable and
musical canvasses, has been reused
from his placid labors as lecturer. He
has heard the call of his people, and he
answers it with all his old heartiness.
'If the boys think / ought to make the
race for governor again" he says, "and
give me the nomination, / will accept
it" and he adds, II would not give one
good, old-fashioned, radical smashing
democratic barbecue for thousand lee
lures, if were to consult my own feel
ings in the matter" OF course, of
course. Tune up and string up! Take
down the fiddle and the bow! The Hon.
Bob Taylor will keep the democratic
dance going again. 1t will be no use
for the republicans to play anybody
against him. Make the nomination
unanimous. New York Sun,

The CrandAIl Case.

Elsewhere in this issue will be found
the result of the trial of j. E. Crandall,
in the United States court at Knoxville,
this week. Contrary to expectations
the plea of the defense was changed
Wednesday morning from mot guilty"
to guilty" and the mercy OF the court
implored. AS a result, Mr.. Crandall
was given a sentence of eight years in
the Brooklyn penitentiary in each in
dictment, but was allowed to serve
same concurrently. When the above
information was wired to johnson City,
it both surprised and shocked the
whole community. Our people were
not only not prepared for such YER
dict, but were not expecting any de-
cisiOn in the case for several days, and
we're, therefore, 10th to believe the
statement. Mr.. Crandall's worst enc
mics are more than satisfied with the
sentence, and there is probably none
Of them who would not sign a petition
to release him.
He came here just before the boom
and stood by the city both in prosperity
and in adversely, and in attempting to
save his depositors, and to help bear
the collapse of the boom, he allowed
himself to go to the extent by trying tc
deceive the comptroller, and for this
sin alone he is punished. 1t is SAD
blow to his wife and to the numerous
friends who were attracted to then
during their prosperity. Mrs. Gran
dali can find no place where she will
have more friends than here
Mr.. Crandall was not q criminal
farther than his attempt to make the
bank appear solvent when it was not
and there is hardly looser by its col
lapse that will claim that he squanderet
the banks funds, or has any of thu
money now. The government does no
charge it. He is victim of circum
stances, and is pittiod more than con
demned. He violated the law but L
save others as we'll as himself, yet h
should have let the bank failed when i
first became insolven.
No man every went behind the bars
followed by more sympathy than Mr.
Crandall, and it is hoped that he will
be pardoned in a short time.

Bob TAYLOR was born under lucky
star. One ambition of his life after an
other has been gratified with little effort
upon his part, but the browning proof
of his good fortune is furnished in the
results Of his lecture tour. He has been
making himself solid with the people
politically and making them paw him
handsomely for it at the same time.
Other politicians pay the public more
or less for their popularity, but Bob
makes them pay him for the privilege
of becoming his admirers. His lectures
have not only filled his purse, but thew
have kept him before the people and
strengthened his hold on them until it
looks as though the democracy will
thrust the nomination for governor on
him and make him United States sena-
tor IN spite of himself. If he had set
tied down to practicing law instead of
going on the rostrum he would have
dropped out of public view and could
not have secured the nomination with
any sort Of effort. There are many who
do not want Taylor for governor, but
there are more who envy him his good
fortune in other respects, He is so full
Of the milk of human kindness that il
seems impossible for him to make last.
