apple on his head to be shot at by the
republican archers. Everybody knows
that if there had been even the SEM
blance of chance for democrat to be
elected to congress from this district
some of those old veteran democrats
would have swooped down ON that nom
nation, like hawk on a chicken, and
borne it off in triumph, without giving
poor Cy as much as a smell. But Cy
will live to get even with those old fell
lows yet,-Jonesboro correspondent of
Knoxville Journal and Tribune.
Hon. Cy H. Lyle is now the demo
cratic candidate for congress in the
First Tennessee district. Mr.. Lyle is
a good mixer and man of splendid
character, Personally we do not know
his ability as a speaker, but we recog-
nize his talent as an editor as of the
highest and best quality. A congress
sional race in this district ON the demo-
cratic ticket is not as sure race as it
is in the Ninth Virginia district, but it
offers enough to make an interesting
campaign. 1t would make things more
interesting if there could be joint
campaign arranged, for joint discussion
always attract large crowds. Mr.. Lyle
says he is in the race to win. Bristol
Daily Courier.
In speaking of Gov. Frazier's speech
at Rogersville the Star says His
speech was garnished with amusing an
ecdotes and apt illustrations, and the
closest attention of his audience was
held throughout. He closed by an
nouncing that he had just received a
telegram from Greeneville, which stat
ed that Cy Lyle, of johnson City, had
been selected as the democratic candi-
date for congress. He knew Mr.. Lyle,
he said, to be young man of honest
principles and sterling ability, and
withal, democrat of democrats, whom
he could conscientiously endorse, and
who should receive the most hearty
support of his party"
