the Endorsement of the
people. | have stated to you
briefly how | have discharged
my duty. | again offer my
services to you. If you think
[ have been faithful and eff
ficient, [ will be pleased to
have your support for re-
election. IF | have not, | do
not deserve it.
II have often been asked
whether / would be a can
didate to succeed Senator
Turley in the United States
Senate. I declined to enter
upon that matter during last
year, because the present in-
cumbent's time does not ex-
pire until March, 1901, and
the Congress to which his
successor will be elected does
not, under the law, assemble
until December, 1901, nearly
two years, therefore, interyen-
ing before the Senator-elect
would be required to enter
upon the discharge Of his
duty.
81 felt there was no need
to foment a contest at that
time. But as the time is now
drawing near when the mem
bers Of the Legislature who
are to make their selection
are to be chosen, | feel no re-
luctance in giving my views
to my countrymen.
1T is known to you all
that it has been my ambition
to represent our magnificent
State in the United States
Senate. This / have never
concealed. [ have had twenty
years experience in Congress,
which [ believe would give
me a valuable equipment for
the Senate. You know
whether [ discharged my
duty faithfully, patriotically
and efficiently.
"For twenty-s six years
Tennessee Democracy has
never had a battle in which
l did not participate with all
my energy and ability dur
ing that time. When there
was no contest on in Ten
nessee, [ have gone when
called to other States to help
to perpetuate the principles
Of our party, and advance the
cause of good government.
Seventeen autumns in the
past twenty-six years of my
fife have been thus spent.
How efficient were those
services [ am content to leave
to Democracy everywhere.
When by the narrowest pos
.sible majority | was defeated
for the Senate [ went forth
again to do battle for my
party, proclaiming that [
abided the decision of the
majority and that the good
State was above all personal
ambition.
Now, he who succeeded.

election. The Office now,
as then, is with the people, to
bestow on whom they think

eff in their wisdom their
chosen representatives see fiji
to elect me, [ shall show my
appreciation of the great
honor by discharging to the
utmost of my ability, and
with the greatest possible
fidelity, the high trust.
"In the future, as in the
past, my services are at the
command of my party, fol
my country. And in the
future, as in the past, the
will of my party shall be the
law of my conduct, and the
good Of my country my high.

Pensions.

"Most of the southern states now
pension their actually dependent
soldiers who wore the gray, and the
number of dependents in the south
furnishes an instructive lesson to the
north. When it is remembered
that the south was utterly Frustrated
at the close of the war; that it had
no capital to aid in restoring its des-
olation; that it suffered ten years of
even greater spoliation than the war
under the scourge of the carpet bag
gers, and that the opportunities for
requited labor have been much less
there than at the north, it is fair to
assume that The proportion Of south
ern soldiers would be vastly greater
than in the rich ana rapidly advanc-
ing loyal states. South Carolina fur
nished $1,000 soldiers to the armies
of the south, and the survivors re-
turned to homes of utter desOlation
when the war ended, but under a
state law that proffers pension to
every actually dependent South Car
DINA soldier or his dependent widow
there are only 1882 on the pension
roll, and of that number only $50
are soldiers, the others being sol
diers' widows who became dependent
in thier old age. This lession is GER
tainly an instructive one in this age
of the fragrant abuse of our national
pension laws for the benefit of many
whose claims are wholly without
merit. "-Philadelphia Times.
