Talk of a third term for Nc
Kinley if nonsense. The popular
ity of Grant could not secure him
q nomination for u third term, and
he was at least as popular as Nc
Kinley with his party. Doubtless
Mckinley realizes as fully as any
body that it is idle to urge himfor
a third term. The next Republi-
can nominee will not be Mckinley
nor will it be Mark Hanna. The
Republican party is too shrewd for
that. No man can foretell who
will be the nominees of the two
great parties three years hence. =

A great deal of pressure is be-
ing brought to bear on Judge
Swiggart, of Union City, by bis
many friends throughout West
Tennessee to have him enter the
race for Governor in the next cam
paign. Judge Swiggart is un-
doubtedly one of the strongest
men who could be put forth from
West Tennessee, and, it seems to
us, would stand a good chance OF
getting the nomination. BY all
that is right, West Tennessee
should name the next Governor,
and West Tennessee is very par.
tial to Judge Swiggart. And he
would make an ideal Governor. -

the growing irreverence for the

Cincinnati, June 9--''There has
been no time in our history when
conditions would SO justify the
election of president to third
term as in the case of Mckinley, "
remarked Congressman G. HI.
Grosvenor to q group of friends
with whom he was chatting fam
ilarly. -" mckinley is personally
the most popular president we
have had in long time, and he
has certainly most creditably per-
formed the duties of his high office
Il think it is time, Furthermore, to
demclish the fiction that there is
an unwrltten law established by
Washington thatno presidentof the
United States may accept a third
term. The facts are, as any stu
dent of the times may discover,
that it was fear of defeat which
impelIed Washington to decline a
third nomination. Being a FEEDER
alist. be was the object of very
violent attacks on the part of the
Democrats of his day and, recog-
nizing the growing strength OF
his opponents, he doubted. as |
believe, his ability to again secure
an election If he should run.

Washington, June 8-Does
President William Mckinley wish
a third term9 This political topic
to-day is being summarily dis
missed by wise ones and seriously
considered by equally we'll inform
ed prognosticators.
Senator Depew has been chosen
to sound public sentiment and in an
interview tells why the President
should have third term. Senator
Depew was selected because he
has very little to lose politically
and his utterances might be taken
as prompted chiefly by his person.
al regard for the President.
1t was believed by many that
one reason for the Presidents
trip South and West was to feel
the political pulse and test his
hold on the people with remote
purpose to nurse an incipient de-
sire for third term.
Col. Mark Hanna laughs at the
idea of third term.
There are some politicians who
point to the fact that Mckinley
will not see at the end of this term
a complete consummation of the
insular policy of the Administra-
tipn. Things are likely to be still
in tangle and he wishes, it is
said, to retire only when this
policy is carried successfully into
effect.
In the meantime Senator Fair
Banks is a candidate for the nomi-
nation, and there are many others
who would not refuse the crown.

Five Hundred Signatures Se- cured Asking Council to Re-
 consider Franchise
COMMERCIAL CLUB CALLED
Meeting to Be Held Monday to Take Some ActIon-compromis Has Been Suggested By Sew
 eral Persons.

To-day we got five hundred signatures to the petition asking the City Council to reconsider the question of the street railway franchise. Nobody refused to sign." said J. L. Yancey yesterday.
 Mir Yancey acted as secretary of the meeting held Thursday night for the pur- pose of having the franchise matter re- opened. He said the movement was meeting with such encouragement as to lead those who were at the head of it to feel confident of success. The work would be pushed, however until the next meeting of the council. By that time public sentiment, he thought. would be so strong in favor of the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power Company that the aldermen would give 1t franchise that would be satisfactory or at least workable.
 The company's contention is that thirty year franchise such IS the ju- dietary committee proposed will not do because a vast sum of money would have to be expended on the new lines and the general development of the property and 1t would be many years, probably thirty, before the investment began to pay.
 FTVPCFtJ OWncTS mu6L Fdys
 President Robe.t JenisJn of the Rail- way. Light and Power Company, who withdrew the request for the franchise, declined yesterday to discuss the matter for publication further than to say that 1t was out of his hands and in the hands of property owners and others who would be seriously affected by the city refusing to grant the companys request, but that if the city would be willing to have the to do all he could for the improvement of Birmingham. but that his company would not go ahead on a thirty year franchise.
 MT. Jemison had asked for a perpetual franchise The question is now asked would he be willing to compromise on fifty or sixty year franchise. This ques- tion was asked particularly of MT. Yancey. and the reply was; q don't know"
 The opinion seemed to prevail. however, that such compromise might be made.
 Commercial Club to Meet.
 culpepper Exum, president of the Com mercial Club, has called a meeting of the club for tomorrow at p. m. for dis cussion of the franchise. The meeting will be we'll attended. 1t Is thought. It is prob- able that if the meeting Is as strongly in favor of granting the company a longer franchise than the one rejected, a com mittee will be appointed to go before the council and urge the advisability of giv- ing the company such franchise as will be workable and satisfactory
 Members of the judiciary committee of the council declined to discuss the ques- tion.
 May Be Abandoned.
 The councils regular meeting will be held on the first Wednesday in November. If the company does not accept what the city offers at that meeting the project for extending the lines will be abandoned, 1t is declared, on the assumption that the new constitution will be ratified on the 11th of J,,ne. The constitution limits fran chises to 30 years.

NEGRO KNOCKS AN
 OFFICER DOWN
CHAS. WALKER MAKES DESPER- ATE EFFORT TO ESCAPE WHILE BEING TAKEN TO JAIL BY DEP. UTY SHERIFF couRsoN.

Charles Walker. a negro who was bound over to the grand jury yesterday morning on a charge of burglary in the Inferior Criminal Court made an effort to escape from Deputy Sherin George Cour- son, who was carrying him to the county jail about noon. The officer was badly bruised about the body by the negro kicking him.
 MT. Courson and the negro were walk ing up Third alley to the county jail. The deputy suspicioned that the negro was looking for an opportunity to escape and caught hold of his coat, at the same time taking his pistol out of his hip pocket and placing it in his side pocket When the mouth of the county jail alley was reached Walker struck the deputy a terrific blow in the eye, knocking him down. Deputy Courson was game and never relinquished his old on the prisoner.
 Walker then attempted to secure the officers revolver. Seeing that he could not do this he kicked the officer several times and finally pulled away from him.
 Several ladies passed in carriage just as the negro broke away. and the officer had presence of mind enough not to shoot. The negro then darted down Fourth ave- nue toward Twentieth street. He ran through the city market and then up Twentieth street to Third avenue. He then entered house in Third avenue, where he was captured without further trouble.
