in the lower house from Pennsylvania
by one year. Mr.. Harris was returned
to the congress in 1851 and, although he
was not candidate in 1858, the nomtna-
tion was given him. He, however, de-
clined it and moved from Paris to Mem.
phis.
Famous Campaign of 1882.
One of his most exciting political af-
fairs was in the campaign of 1882, when
he was a candidate for reelection. At
the previous election the State had gone
Republican by division of the Demo-
cratic party on tho State debt question,
and the senator had first been for set
thing the debt in full, but when the con-
vention met in Nashville and was for
the settlement of the State debt proper
in full and the railroad debt at so and 3
he sided with the party, 1t was then
thathe made his famous ''rock splitting
speech. In this, before the convention,
he said that he had formerly been for
the higher settlement. but as the party
had split on the rock of the State debt
am in favor of splitting the rock"
This sentence brought forth one of the
greatest ovations that a speaker even
got in Tennessee. Senator Bate was T.
candidate on the regular ticket for gov
ernor and Senator Harris for the senate.
Senator Howell e. Jackson went with
the ''sky blue" element of the party,
and although not candidate for an
office, he at the request of friends, came
to the State and began a canvass for
FuSsen, the sky blue" candidate
Finally the two senators met in joint
debate and it was battle of the giants.
Senator Harris got possession of a letter
that Senator Jackson had written G.
w. Marks, complimenting him upon an
effort to scale the dett and also reso-
luton that Senator Jackson had offered
in the State convention for the settle
ment of the debt at so and 4. Both were
signed by Senator Jackson and they
were used with telling force against
him at Erin and Trenton. 1t was in
this debate that Senator Harris read the
papers previously referred to, and then
turning like raging lion upon his ad-
versary said in words that came as sep
arate and distinct as the bullets from
rifle: ''Sir, if this was a military cam.
paign instead of a political campaign,
you would be hanged for treason"
All are familiar with the outcome of
tho campaign, the election of Bate by
large majority and the election of
general assembly that elected Senator
Harris a second time to the senate on
the first ballot, his opponent being John
II. Savage.
In 1889 ]. D. C. Atkins opposed him
for the senate, and for the first time
since the war there was caucus for tho
Democratic nomination. 1t was neces-
sary to get two-thirds o. the votes in
the caucus to secure the nomination,
and although Senator Harris got a ma
jority on the first ballot, it was not
until the third that he got the two
thirds.
In 1898 he was elected for the forVth
time to the senate, and there was no
to him that amounted to any

A BAD state OF teeilng exists between
the PrOtes tant missionaries and the
higher prelates of the Catholic church
in Peru, Bolivia and Ecuador, the mis-
sionaries accusing the Catholic bishop
of Lima of representing to the chief
executive of Peru that the Protestant
propaganda was, from the nature of it.,
hostile to the states religion and there
fore hostile to the state. This caused
the Protestant chapeis to be placed
under the surveillance of the police,
