The comet. (Johnson City, Tenn.) 1884-1916, 1900-06-07

The nomination of Col. E. G. Reeves
for congress by the democrats of the
First district may mean more than q
formality. Col, Reeves is one of the
strongest men in the district, a man of
high character and splendid legal at
tainments. 1t has been a long while
since the democrats in that district did
as we'll in the selection of candidate
The district is, of course, largely re-
publican, and yet if the Evans contin-
gent shall continue its war on Brown
low the contest may become very inter-
esting. 1t is hardly probable that the
Evans people in presidential year will
follow up their fight to the polls, but
in view of the great bitterness and
hostility thus far displayed they may.
In such case Col. Reeves may have a
chance of election. At all events, it is
good sign to have type of men such
as Col. Reeves placed in nomination.
1t should be party rule to put men of
the best ability forward for congress
sional honors. Nashville Banner,

The Addicks press is quiet these days;
for some cause they have ceased to

languid interest in denouncing Bryan

wrangles, and doubtless the various

concluded to lie on their guLs til cooler

The du Pont men are playing for the

From the Philadelphia Inquirer
Various estimates of the result OF the
November election are floating over the
country. One of the most important
comes from Governor Poynter, OF Ne
braska. This gentleman is Populist,
and by the command of William };
BRYAN is the candidate for reelection OF
the Pops" the Democrats and the Sill
yer Republicans of the State. Il will be
Understood, therefore, that Governor
Poynter is the close friend and political
ally of Mr.. Bryan.
When such man gives out an esti-
mate significance attaches to it,. Now
let me see upon what Mr.. Bryan's own
Governor bases his hopes. Here is his
