For GOvernOrship.
Tuesdays Americana
Hon. ]. M. Head stated to a re-
porter for The American last night
that he would not be candidate for
Governor. He said that he had re-
ceived quite number of letters
from people throughout the State
urging him to make the race, and
that personal appeals had also been
made to him, but after considering
the matter, he had concluded not to
try for the nomination.
Mr.. Head said that he appreciated
the compliment which was con-
ferred upon him by the requests that
he be a candidate, but after mature
consideration, he had determined
not to make the race. He gave no
reasons for taking the course, but
merely made the announcement
that he would not run as a fact.
The natural inference is that Con-
gresham Benton McMillIn will be
a candidate for the nomination for

TENNESSEE POLITICS.

In6re Will De HOI Cllu6S III leuu0o-
see this year. The present and re-
cent past administrations have been
so extravaganza, so political and so
unbusinesslike, that the Republi-
cans have much to encourage the
hope that they can win, and they
are going to make the hardest fight
of their lives.
But the Democrats will also have
on their war paint. They realize
that they hav'nt the walk-over they
used to have; they know that bor-
rowing three-quarters of million
dol airs in one year, shows reckless
extravaganza hard to defend. They
know that the recent extra session
of the legislature was an altogether
useless expenditure of over twenty
thousand dollars of the peoples
money. They know that the state
militia is not only piece of useless
extravaganza, but that their con-
duct at times is burning disgrace.
They know lot more things that
we need not now recount, and they
know also that the people know
these things and are sorely tired of
them, and that they are great,
heavy burdens for any party to bear.
They are going to put their best
foot foremost, therefore, and try to
retrieve their failing fortunes and
save the state from even the worse
fate of Republican rule.
That they are not without hope !;
that the political astronomers see
through the lowering clouds the
dawn of better days, is evidenced
by the fact that the gubernatorial
nomination is not going abegging
this year as it did two years ago.
Then, the Hon. Benton McMillin
wouldn't have it; now he yearns for
it. Then, no available man asking
for it, they had to lasso Bob Taylor
and put the harness on him. Now
some four or five good men and true,
are wanting the proud privilege. So
it may be safe to conclude that in
Democratic political circles, they
think they will land the old Ship of
State safe in the harbor of Democ-
racy one more time.
We hope that they may, and that
they will be more faithful to their
trusts as servants of the people,
than they have been in the recent
past.
There are now four announced
candidates in the field: Hon. Ben
ton McMillin, Judge John r. Bond,
Judge John M. Taylor and Gen.
Andrew B. Woodland. They are all
popular men and good Democrats,
and the fight will be an interesting
and doubtless close one.
In making our choice we shall
consider not so much the speaking
abilities and hand shaking proclivi-
ties of the man, as his character
for manhood and his business quail
} flcations. We hope the party may
be able to secure the services of
, some sound Democrat and practi-
cal business man for Governor
Tennessee needs business ad-
. ministration. The extravaganza oil
recent years is shameful; an out
rage upon the tax payers and re-
proach upon the party in power

. have gradually reduced the Demo

if wiser and better selections ar!

will be not only disastrous to the
! party, but to the tax payers of the
