Memphis Scimitar has hauled down the
names OF. Palmer and sBuckner from the
head OF Its editorial columns and hoist

While paying trlbute4to the worth OF
the candidates OF the National Demo-

by Bryan's speeches that his dafeat Is
the most pressing; necessity OF the time,
and thatinot a vote; against him should
be lost in Tennessee. Philadelphia Rec
