PLENTY OF PRESI-
DENTAL TIMBER.
TwiIIan Jennings Bryan In The commoner.I

cock had when nominated.
And what is the matter with Bot
Taylor He has served three term
as governor and has national repu
tatiOn.
Besides these who have represented
all the people of Tennessee. there ar,
several Tennessee congressman who
have made excellent records and who
would grow in strength with the pro-
gress of n campaign.
But certainly the reorganizers ought
not to demand great national promi
hence or long experience in candi
date. Their idol. Grover Cleveland,
never had any legislative experience.
While mayor of Buffalo he was elected
governor of New York. and while
governor he was elected president.
His failure to meet the expectations
of his party and his country was not
due to lack of ability or experience.
but to the fact that he lent himself
to the schemes of syndicates and
tinanciers
Nashville has mayor, J. M. Head,
who possesses all the good qualities
that Cleveland ever had and none of
the bad Ones He went into office in
the face of violent corporate opposi-
tion. but his first term was so uni
versally popular that no one cared TO
run against him ana he was elected
by a unanimous vote. He is showing
what an incorruptible public official
can do. He is not only efficient as an
executive officer, but he is sound on
every public question. With such a
national candidate the party could |
make not only bold and aggressive
fight, but winning fight if circum-
stances favored success.
None OF these men are aspirants for |
the Office, but they are mentioned to
show how easy it will be to find can.
1idates if the party will only be true
TO its principles ana plead the cause of
The common people.
The names suggested do not by any
means exhaust the list, even in Ten
lessee, and every other state has a
lumber of men sufficiently tested to be
worthy of public confidence. Among
he millions who voted the democratic
ticket in 1896 and 1900 there are enough
choose from, so that it will not be
necessary to forage upon the republi-
an camp or invade the ranks of the
'almer and Buckner crowd to find a
lan of presidential stature. ,

The Democratic committee of thu
Eleventh Judicial Circuit met at thi
place this morning tor the purpose O.
canvassing the returns from the pri

Democratic nominees for Circuit Judge
and Attorney General. Giles county
was represented by j. D. Pullen. G.
H. Bentley of Lawrenceburg. was

committeeman OF Lawrence w. c..
Whitthorne acted as proxy for W. ).
fowler of Maury. M. l.. Cover, com
mitteeman of Wavne county, was
present. Lewis and Hichman counties
were represented by proxy. After can
wasting the returns the committee de-
clared Hon. Sam Holding the nominee

lows:
Maury County - Holding 1,O45
Garner S35; Sowell 271.
Giles County-Holding 1855; Garner
301 Sowell 1879.
Lawrence County-Holding 573
Garner 461 Sowell 1873.
Hickman County-Holding 429 :
Garner 401 Sowell 90.
Wayne County-Holding 271; Gar
ner $50; Sowell II.
Lewis County-Holding 1867 Garner
1876; Sowell 30.
Totals-Holding 2, 1929 Garner 2, 1888;
Sowell ST.
1t will be seen from the above that
Judge Holding received every vote cast
in Hickman and Wayne counties,
and his vote was more than the COM
bined vote of Garner and Sowell in
Lewis county 1t is rare occurrence
tor candidate to receive the full vote
in an election where he has no oppo-
1ent, so Judge Holding may well take
pride in the flattering vote given him.

MURDER IN SECOND DEGREE.
w. J. Hammonds Sentenced to q
Years in Penitentiary.

Pulaski. May 16 The jury in the
W. J. Hammonds murder case yester
day returned verdict of murder in
the second degree and fixed the punish
ment at twenty years in the peniten-
tiary.
Hammonds shot and killed T. H.
Browning on the Public square here
December 20, 1899, in a dispute over
an account. Hammonds has been
tried twice before, and was convicted
both times of murder in the first de-
gree. The Supreme court reversed the
first decision on the ground that the
proof did not show sufficient premedi-
tation. The second verdict was set
aside by Circuit Juuge Holding on
the ground that several jurors grossly
prejudiced the case against Hammonds
before they were sworn in as jurors.
1t is understood that Hammonds'
counsel will make motion for new
trial, but on what ground is not
known.

Spring Ailments.

There is an aching and tired feeling
the liver, bowels and kidneys become
sluggish and inactive, the digestion
impaired, with little or no appetite, no
ambition for anything, and a feeling
that the whole body and mind needs
toning up. The trouble is, that during
winter, there has been an accumulation
of waste matter in the system. Her
bine will re move it, secure to the secre-
tions right exit, and by its tonic eff
feet, fully restore the wasted tissues
and give strength in place of weakness.
