Bob In Hamilton.

With the passing OF each day, more
political talk is heard on the streets, i'm
the hotels, cffices, everywhere. Among
the democrats the gubernatorial situa-
ton lie, of course, the chief topic Of
interest. All the three gentlemen
from East Tennessee who have been
mentioned in connection with the
nomination have ardent friends and
supporters in Chattanooga.
United States District Attorney
James FL. Bible, is "Bob" Taylor
man and he doesn't care who knows
it.
Hamilton county ought by all
means to instruct for Bob Tay or for
governor" said Mr.. Bible to Times
man yesterday. "Some say they think
the county should compliment Judge
Mcconnell by giving him this county.
This cannot result in any good to
Judge Mcconnell, and only handicaps

will be nominated, and with a un-

fore. Why stand in the way of the
procession? Again, if Judge Mcconnell
should have to resign his position as
chancellor the result would be to turn
his chancery division over to the re-
publican party. This neither he nor
the party can afford. The division is
1000 republican majority and Jupge
NcConnell's election was owing to the
fact that he made one of the best
chsncellors the state had anywhere,
Can he or the party afford to take the
chances of turning his Office with its
great appointing power over to the re.
publican party? / believe the chan
cellor himself would say the risk was
too great.
"Then why not Hamilton county
democracy lead the procession fol
Bob Taylor" continued Mr. Bible.
"Quit this sickly talk of compli
menting anyone, for complimentary
vote to anyone is an evidence of in
sincerity and an admission on its tace
that it is not the genuine friend Of the
party complmented but is only u play
to the supposed vanity OF such person
and an assumption that such person
has not sense enough to see it.
"The people want Bob Taylor fol

SULLIVAN COUNTY DEMOCRATS.
They All Want Bob Taylor, for With
Him Is Success.


BRISTOL, Tenn, Feb. 29.-The dem
ocrats of this rock ribbed democratic
county (Sdllivanl are much interest
ed in the coming political campaign
in Tennessee. They have been unit
quite recently very apathetic and de
spondent. They have fell, owing tC
the unfortunate trouble over the gov
ernorship two years ago, that the par
ty wou d have hard row to hoe the
year of our Lord 1896.
But owing to recent developments, g
better state of feeling prevails. In
Bristol most of the people oppose free
silver, while i'll the country the oppo
site ia the case. But democrats of al
shades of opinion are enthusiastic over
the prospect of the nomination of Hon
Robert L. Taylor for governor. They
want a winner, and in Bob Taylor's
candidacy they see Tennessee once
more safely in the democratic fold.
The sentiment here for Taylor ia
overwhelming, and can not be with
stood. He is much stronger here
than ever, and he has always had old
Sullivan at his back.
Your writer has in the past week
talked to several prominent demo
Gratis in this county, silver and anti
silver men, some of whom who have
heretofore opposed him in his aspira
tions, but who now say he is the key
to the situation.
And the people here, as a rule, are
satisfied with Governor Taylor's atti
tude. He has said that he would serv,
if nominated, and that is regarded b,
his friends as enough. They wan
him drafted. They laugh at those VIII,
say he is not in the race--the wish j
father to the thought.
A few peliticians-yery few, thougl
favor Hon. Jim Harris. 1t is SUI
prising how deep-seated the sentimen
here is against the nomination Of Hal
ris Many democrats in Bristol ant
surrounding country vow they cal
never vote fol him in convention or a
the polls. These statements are glvel
as facts, and not TO disparage Mr.. Hat
ris, save only as regards his availa
bility.
With platform devoted principal,
to state issues, a moderate and con
servative plank as to the silver ques
ton (If insisted upon) suitable to tn
views of the majority, and Govcrno
Taylor as the nominee-H. Clay Ev
ans will remain permanent fixtur

WASHINGTON LETTER.
Trom our Regular correspondent.l

If congress doesn't want foreign
war it should indulge in less war talk
The Cuban resolution adopted by the
senate, declaring in favor of recogni.
ton OF the belligerency of the Cubans
and requesting the president to use
bis good Offices towards procuring a
recognition of the independence OF
Cuba, was of itself right enough, and
certainly represents the overwhelm-
ing sentiment of congress, and prob
ably OF the country, but there were
threats, implied and spoken, in some
of the speeches made in the senate
that were entirely needless 1t may
be set down as certain that if the
United States goes to war in behalf of
Cuba it Will not be with Spain alone
that we shall have to fight. 1t has
been its secret treaties with other
European nations which have enabled
Spain to retain its hold upon Cuba
through other revolutions on the is
land. But although this tact is well
known it is probable that when the
house takes up the question this week,
on attempt will be made to out lingo
the speeches made in the senate before
the resolution is finally adopted.
The resolution adopted by the sen.
ate being concurrent will have no
more official weight with President
Cleveland than he may be disposed to
give 1t as an expression of the opinion
OF the senate, agreed to by all but six
senators who were present when the
\ vote was taken; but an attempt is to
be made in the house not only to
make the resolution stronger, but to
make it joint resolution. If this at
tempt succeeds, which is probable, the
resolution will have to be signed or
vetoed by the president or allowed to
become law without his signature
No one expects veto, although Presi-
dent Cleveland is keeping his own
counsel.
The house has passed the bill al.
thorities to lease the school lands Of
the territory, over the presidents
veto.
The most surprising thing that has
happened in congress for long time
is resolution introduced by Repre-
sentative Linton, Of Michigan, a re-
publican who prides himself upon be-
ing the leader OF the A ?. A. in the
house. This resolution is intended to
prevent the statue OF Father Mar
quette, sent to Washington by the
state of Wisconsin, being given q
permanent place in statuary hall Mr.
Linton bases HIS resolution upon the
wording of the law which provided fol
the establishment Of the statuary hal

been complied With, because Father
Marquette was not citizen of the
state OF Wisconsin This, OF course
is merely a preamble. His real OBJ
lection is stated further on in the reso

There is no longer the slightest

Governor Taylor is in the hands oI

There was no feeling of certainty
about "Our Bob' accepting the nomi
uation, until Collector Jno. T. Essary
Of Knoxv lie gave out his now famous
interview in Chattanooga q few days
ago.
As is a well known fact there is no
man in the state OF Tennessee who

which calls for Bob Taylor and that ir
spite of all that can be done he will bC

"You cant keep him out OF The OF

OF appropriations. 1t remains to be
seen whether the same power can
make the same men publicly insult
the great state of Wisconsin, and
whether Speaker Reed, presidential
candidate, will help them to do it by
recognizing Linton to call up his reso-
luton.
AS sop to the popnlists the repub-
lican senators are said to have nearl,
all promised either TO absent them
selves or to vote for the resolution Of
Tered by Senator Allen, of Nebraska,
providing for an Investigation of the
Alabama legislature that elected Hon.
John 7. Morgan to the United States
senate. The committee on privileges
and elections will, Notwithstanding the
protest OF every democratic member,
favorably report the Allen resolution.
There is not the slightest doubt that
such an investigation by senate com
mittee would be a clear violation of
the constitution, but that is, of course,
not matter to bother the average re
publican senator when he has a dicker
In view by which he expects to gain
some advantage.
1t begins to look like there was dan
ger OF the favorite son business break
ing out in Gar Reeds camp, one
might almost say in his immediate DC
litical family, if W. D. Walworth, of
Boston, represented any considerable
number OF Massachusetts republicans

voting for Senator Lodge in the st.
Louis convention. No man has any
particular claims to the presidential
nomination any more than any other
man, and 1T is a very fitting tribute
for each state to name its particular
choice on the first ballot. Naturally
some of these would drop oui after tn ,
first ballot and then the real strength
OF those who are candidates would be
shown. The nomination would be
tIee from the suspicion OF ring rule or
bossism, and fully believe would be
more satisfactory to the people at large
while number of worthy men would
receive honors to which they are enti-
tied and which they would appreciate" "
The odd part of this nomination OF
lodge is that he has always posed as
Damon to Reeds Pythias. OF course
Mr. Walworth may only have express
ed his own wishes and Mr.. Lodge may
have known nothing about it. Still
such things are calculated to arouse
suspicion in the mind OF the Gear.
