It Means Victory.

The republicans of this city have
split SO badly that democratic victory
will be an easy matter when the cleo
ton comes of in March.
In addition to putting out the weak
est man in the party, Mr.. Hart, there
is evidence of deadly feud in the
ranks.
Mr.. Hart did not care, it is reported,
to make the race on his past record, but
it seemed that the nomination went
begging. just before the convention,
however, Mr.. Brading, who is backed
by some Of the most influential repub-
licans in the city, quietly came out
and presumably meantto make coupe
de- atat by getting the nomination
without asking Hart for it, In this he
failed and the escapade has disrupted
the party till it can never get back into
line again.
The meeting last Friday night &c
ratify the nomination Of Hart, was
mild affair. Mr.. Brading is chairman
Of The city executive committee, And
should have leen there to preside, but
he was conspicuous Tor his absence. sc
we're most Of his followers.
This is the thing that tells, when
such men as Brading and his backing
bolt the ticket that never come back.
Thsy are men who are firm when they
The comet. (Johnson City, Tenn.) 1884-1916, 1896-03-05

take stand and their steps back from
the ranks at this time will defeat the
republican party for mayor if not all
the other offices in the corporation.
The republicans are in a sad plight,
and those who are acquainted with the
bolting element know that the breach
can never be patched up.
The democrats should take advantage
Of this split and by coming sofdly
together elect all their men.

TayIor.s Attitude.

Bob Taylor's enemies profess not to
understand his attitude. They are 9th
er idiotic or blind. Every body knows
that Mr.. Taylor has no claim on the
nomination, as he has been governor
two terms.
II he should make canvass for the
nomination, these same men and papers
would be shocked at his cheek and
greed; but as democracy owes him
nothing by courtesy or precedent, he
would be entirely too presumptious to
clamor for the nomination.
1t would suit his opposition much
better if he would, but he is q man of
more sense and self-respect than to try
to make any egotistical claim for a
thing, which by precedence, should
come to him as free and unsought
gift.
Bob Taylor has been honored by the
democracy of Tennessee, and if now
in this hour of darkness, he should re-
fuse to respond to its call for aid, he
would be an ungrateful son, indeed.
He does not care to make the race, but
if thesparty thinks that he is the man
to win, he will bow to their wishes and
lay himself willing sacrifice on the
alter of the party, which has done SO
much for him.
Is not that clear? Could any idiot
ask for key to Taylor's situation?
Bob Taylor stands ready to serve the
democratic party in any capacity it may
desire him, and without any claims tC
the governorship the third time, only
that the people want him and believe
that he is the only man who can carry
the banner. to victory.
Bob Taylor is not an migrate, and
does not place self interests above par,
ty fealty. He has said on every occas
ion that he was not predatory candi
date, but if nominated, he would cheer
fully enter the race and use every
effort to win.
What more could conscientiouI
gentleman in his position say?
His enemies, who are few it il true
want him to say one of two things
Damn the democratic party; or, In
entitled to the nomination.
These utterances are far from his lips
and hence the howl. This is what my
stiles the "big dailies;" they can't un
| derstand how Bob can take the nomi
nation and not ask for it, but he will
no doubt, show them better than h
can tell them.
The masses are for Bob-and tn
masses win. He will be called bacl
like Cincinnatus to take again tn
helm of state.
The COMET does not say that Bob i
the only man who can be elected, bu
| it does say that there are less chance
Of defeat with hisname at the head of til
ticket; and those who are familiar wit
the apathy of the party in Tennessee
know that it will take man of til
masses to win.

THE three corned congressional race
before the primary has narrowed down
several times according to the various
papers of the country. 1t seems now
that Milburn will drop back among the
'also rams" and that the fight is really
between Brownlow and Anderson, with
the chances strongly in favor of the
hardy man from Washington county.
Anderson's friends say that il Brown
low means to win that he will have to
run faster than he ever did when he
was engineer on the Rogersville road.

We made no mistake in buy
