THE Scimitar of Monday evening
unfolds a political scheme in which,
of course, figures little Jimmie
Harris. The paper gets it's infor-
nation from what it considers a re-
liable source. 1t is to the effect
that there is a plan on foot by
which only representatives favora-
BILE to McMillin are to be elected to
the legislature. One of the duties
of that body will be to elect a
United States Senator. 1t is gen.
orally conceded that McMillin will
get the democratic nomination for
governor, and if elected, it is said,
he will 60 before the legislature as
a candidate for the United States
Senate. Jas. A. Harris, who has
been managing McMillin's guberna-
torial campaign, it is claimed, will
be a candidate for the State Senate
from Davidson, and if the plans he
has laid materialize, he hopes to be
elected Speaker of that body. In
the event that McMIllin is elected
Senator, of course Harris, as Speak
er of the Senate, would succeed
him as Governor. And thus they
hope to shelve our gallant Senator
Bate, who is now in Washington
attending to the duties of his Office.
If Benton McMillin is a party to
any such scheme, ne richly deserves
defeat; and Jim Harris should be
defeated on general principles and
forever retired from Tennessee pol
itics, the corruption of which lie
has been active in accomplishing.

The Hardeman county convention
met last Tuesday and appointed
delegates to the gubernatorial con
vention, and adopted resolutions
endorsing Gov. TaylOr's admins
tration, the course of their county
representative, John Woods, and
that of their foterial representa-
tive, r. II. Green, in the last legisla-
ture. They recommended the re-
peal of the law creating the chan
Gerry court of appeals and the redis-
trlcting of the state so as to get rid
Of all useless courts. This is the
way to reduce the state taxes. The
last Legislature tried to repeal the
law creating some of these courts,
but in each case interested parties
defeated the passage of the bill. Ev-
cry county in the state should
speak out on these questions. The
railroad commission was also en-
dorsed and delegates instructed to
vote for Ernest Bullock. This is
another matter that should be look
ed after by the people, unless they
want to lose the advantage already
gained. If any state in the Union
needs a railroad commission it is

menced by the last legislature be

been added. Following are the
