ALI TAYLOR In MEMPHIS.
Says Ex-GOv. Bob and John Allen Will
Write a Lecture.

The Memphis News of recent date
contained the following:
The Hon. A. A. Taylor, a former
member of congress from Tennessee,
and republican candidate for governor,
but best known here from the fact that
he and his brother, former Gov. Robt.
l.. Taylor, have lectured here together
spent yesterday in the city, He came
up from Tupelo, where he lectured on
the previous night, and left last night
to resume his tour, which includes
Mississippi, Arkansas, Texas and the
Indian Territory.
John Allen and Bob are going to
write q joint lecture, " said Mr.. Taylor
yesterday to reporter for the News at
the Peabody Hotel. 1t seems that
some weeks ago the former governor
lectured at Tupelo, where he was in
troduced by John Allen. 1t is hardly
necessary to add that two such congo
NAL spirits were again together after
the lecture, and the result of this is to
be lecture on "This and That, (which
the Mississippian and Tennessean will
work out together next summer at the
latter's home in Knoxville.
ALI Taylor is deeply interested in
anything said about the prospects fol
Bob's receiving support from this sec
ton for the senate. When some one in
passing remarked that West Tennessee
was for Bate for his own successor, and
then Bob Taylor, ALI pricked up hii
ears aud caught everything that wal
said, asked such questions as he deem
ed proper, but was careful to make nj
statement which could in anything b.
held as committing his brother.

JUDGE CLARK S REPLY.

Judge Clark stated to a newspaper
man here that proper notice will be
taken OF the matter at the proper
time which is supposed to mean
that an answer will be prepared and
made public at once.
And vet we hear of no Richmond
entering The list against Clark. That
the opposition to him is strong and
growing there is no doubt; that if
nominated he could not poll the full
strength OF the Democratic party is
very apparent; that he would have
opposition at the polls (some say in
the person of a learned Democratic
lawyer) is not improbable; whether
his nomination would have ii serious
result in tending to split" the party
is a question which is being seriously
discussed.

and Governor AycOck, as party lead
ers. to know what they are going to
do about it. At least one of the
