TAYLOR Men Scheming.

GREENEvILLE, Tenn, Aug. 29.-The
political situation in the First Congress
sional District is becoming interesting.
The Democratic Congressional Execu-
tive Committee held "a meeting at
Morristown on last Thursday and called
a Congressional Convention to meet
at Greeneville on September 10 to
nominate a Democratic candidate for
Congress or to take such other action
in the matter as the convention may
think proper.
There is some doubt as to whether
the Democrats on any account propose
to place any candidate in the field for
Congress in the First District. 1t is
seen that there is a great probability
that the Democratic State ticket will
be in danger in Tennessee. If any
votes can probably be made for r. l..
Taylor for Governor by running no
candidate for Congress in this district
that curse will be adopted. In this
county the Democrats succeeded at the
August election in electing a trustee
by running no man for sheriff. This
was done in the face of a Republican
majority of about eight hundred in
the county. Now the question will
be how many votes can be made for
Bob Taylor for Governor by nominating
no one for Congress. 1t is safe to say,
however that the Republicans of this
district will be in line and will do
what they a to defeat the plans of
all those, whoever they may be, who
may conspire to hurt the Republican
ticket In this district. Knoxville Jour.

THE TAYLOR Z T


A Respectable but Listless Crowd When the
Curtain Was Raised--but u Lively
One at the Close.
Last Monday vas the day set apart
for the Bob Taylor demonstration in
THE place. The weather was delight
full and that alone should have brought
out q crowd. The speaking was done
on the school house lot, and took place
about 1 Pm. Bob was in fine condi-
ton for q demonstration, and was evi
IDENTIFY large with hope Of IN immense
crowd and an enthusiastic reception,
both Of which were denied him. At no
time was there as many as 300 voters
on the ground-including Republicans.
Gold Democrats and free silver men,
and the GOODNESS of the crowd was well
attested by the weak applause offered
ut times when the most vociferous dem
onstration was expected. The speech
he delivere ed here was his regular East
Tennessee edition-not the Middle Ten
nessee one that he used at Winchester,
but it lacked much Of enthusing the
audience. If the effort contained any
argument at all, perhaps the most
forceful and satisfactory Ito the speak
err was the one he made use of when
speaking about the Herald and Tribune.
No doubt he made himself solid with
the people OF all this country when he
declared the editor Of this paper to be
a "liar and a coward" Such argument
is simply overwhelming, staggering.
BY the use of such powerful and con-
vincing language Bob no doubt fixed
himself right with the masses-in fact
we know he did with a part of them,
for we saw and heard some Of them
after the meeting, near the Court House
hurrah for Bob Taylor and JEFF Davis;
but they were simply intoxicated with
the eloquence and argument of the
speaker. or with red liquor.
Mr.. Taylor said he would say nothing
against Mr.. Brownlow, as they had al
ways been friends. Evidently be over
look the friendship where he spoke in
Elizabethton last Saturday, If reports
of his speech there are correct.
The crowd on the grounds was re.
spectful, and contained a number OF
ladies, but in point of numbers fell
far ehort of expectations.

A Churn that Churns in One Minute.

l have been in the dairy business all
my life and have many times churnep
for an hour before butter would appear
so when l heard of a churn that would
churn in a minute, | concluded to try it.
Every day for a week l used it, and not
only could l churn in a minute, but I
got more and better butter than with
the common churn. This Is very i'm
portant information to butter makers.
The churn works easily, and will churn
an ordinary chnrning in less than go
seconds. l have sold two dozen churns
in the past month. Every butter maker
that has seen me churn in less than a
minute has bought one. You can OBJ
tain all desired information regarding
the churn by addressing j. F. Casey &
Co., st. Louis, and they will give you
prompt and courteous attention.

KENT DID NOT~HANG.

North Dakota Wife Murderer Granted

BISMARCK, Nov. l2.-Myron r. Kent,
who was to have been executed this
morning, has another week to live at
least, the governor having granted him
respite of that length of time. In all
probability this interposition of the ex-
ecutive is due largely to the attitude of
Judge Nice onnell, who presided at the
trial of the condemned man. The fol.
lowing additional message from Judge
Mcconnell was received by Attorney
Hildreth: =. s -
Having studied the matter over night
I am satisfied that it's unnecessary for
me to go to Bismarck. The whole matter
Is in the hands of the governor and he
must act in the matter. 4 have just sent
sent him the following message:
ii :! That the writing in the black book
should be SO infinitely written beforehand,
the absence Of Ehrlichman on both trials
and the possibility Of his tampering with
the black book, and lack Of Kent's motive
are some of the things that have often
caused me to hesitate and doubt: Many
things occurred on the trial prejudical to
the defendant, and it is hard to tell their
weight on the jury in fixing the death
