DEMOCRATIC NOMINEES.
THE MAN FOR 1904.

Jou,syille Courier Journal: "The
Editor of the Courler-Journal has been
saving ever since the second defeat OF
Mr.. BRYAN, that, if the party is to win
IN 1904 It must find some fresh man
IN some one of the determlnate States
of the North-some man who has not
been mixed up in the fscti IN hghting'
nm whom all Democrats can unite
such as Tilden was in lo16-ano'
in that connection, he has sug'
gested several persons who might
under certain circumstances, become
eligible as nominees. If Tom johnson
he nominated and elected Governor OF
Ohio. he will undoubtedly be In the
running. If, for third time dov'
Pattison carries Pennsylvania, he
being now a candidate for Governor,
so will he be. In like manner, II
Judge Parker, now the Democratic
Chief Justice of the New York Court
of Appeals, be nominated and elected
Governor of the Empire State, the SIT
uation of 1876 will in 1904 be very
nearly repeated.
"None of these things may happen.
They are purely conjectural, Mr.. wat
terson' s sole interest in 1904 Is thar
which should and which does nominate
all good Democrats. He would rescue
the Government from hands that are
using it as business asset, and not a
popular trust-from the Syndicate
political and financial, that rule 1t for
their own dishonest ends-from civil
Service pharisees in league with spoils
otwallopers-from carpet baggers ano
shoulder straps abroad and scalawags
and broncho- busters at homeland ne
is not particular about the captain who
is to lead the rescue party. SO ne De
clean and capable, a good American
and good Democrat.
"Just now it looks as ii no ne OF the
old war horses will answer the pur-
pose. Each of them can poll the party
strength, no more and perhaps no less.
This will not suffice. In 1904 there Will
be cast in round mum bers fifteen MILL
ion votes. Six and half million or
these will go to perdition with the
Democrats. six and half millions to
perdition with the Republicans. Two
millions can be relied on by neither the
Democrats nor the Republicans, and 1T
is the heft of these two millions that
will elect.
1.-The Democratic party must turn lts
back upon the past and its face to the
future. 1t must cry truce to faction
ism. 1t must have done with hair
splitting and hair-pulling. 1t must
disregard its tine-spun theorizers and
it's newly aroused reorganizers. Send
both the Bryans and the Clevelands
to the rear-and, having raised up a
leader out of the very womb of destiny
who will be, as Tilden was at once
Man and an Issue. it will go on lts
way, conquering and to conquer.
"There are several such men hid IN
the bushes. Judge Parker may be one
of them. Gov. Pattison may be
second. Tom johnson may be third.
And, very likely, there are others

The liquor men are not saying a
word, but are quietly, actively at work
TO capture the Tennessee Legislature
while the temperance people are
asleep. When the temperance people
wake up and fno out what has been
done they will make a big fuss about
it. But what good will that dor An
ounce of prevention is worth a pound

That Secret Marriage.

The secret marriage mentioned
some weeks since in the Herald has
leaked out. and the principals of the
romantic alliance have left on their
honeymoon, bllssfully forgetful of the
auses which led to their wedding
being secret. The facts regarding the
marriage are as follows:
J. S. Morgan, an athlete, and Miss
Frances Turley, of Franklin, daughter
of Mrs. GenevIeve Turley, and a
niece OF Chancellor Henry H. Cook,
after a romantic attachment, were
secretly married here on July "a, by
Rev. J. l. VOORHEES,. They had
some difficulty in finding any one to
swear that the bride was Of legal age.
and further difficulty in finding a
minister, Int at last Mr.. VOORHEES,
consented to perform the ceremony.
He with Clerk Thomas and Deputy
Hardin Thomas, were sworn to
secrecy till October LIST, when the
marriage was to be announced.
The bride went back to her mother 8
home, and the groom. after spending
several days in Franklin to be near
her, left for Chicago, where he has bust
ness interests, intending to return In
October and make the marriage public.
The secret leaked out, however, and the
young wife telegraphed the fact to
her husband. who returned at once to
Franklin for her.
The American says:
MRS. Morgan as Miss Frances Tur-
ley has been known as one Of the
most beautiful young women in the
State, and by reason of her family pO-
sition and personal charms has many
admirers and friends who will be in
terested in the news of her marriage.
She is extremely youthful and would
have reigned belle had she elected
to wear the honors Of young ladyhood
longer"

One Alfred Henry Lewis, who
writes by the yard for pay, has made
a bid for notoriety by making a vici-
GUS attack with his pen upon William
Jennings Bryan. But the trouble with
Alfred is that the people will not be-
lieve him long enough to remember
his name. If Mr.. Bryan's character
could have been impeached by penny
liners, the trick would have been done
long ago.

The Nashville people, Thursday, by
a vote of 5 to 1, granted the Nashville
g. Columbia Electric Railway, the
right to run over their streets, and 1t
really looks as if the electric car line
from Nashville here would be built.
But appearances are very deceltful
sometimes. When everything else
fails; apt as not the L. q N. people
will buy these promoters out.

One day you read that Mr.. Byan is
in a receptive mood, in so far as the
presidential nomination is concerned,
and the next day you read that ne
didn't say it. If you really and hon
estly want to know the truth about
Mr.. Bryan, you should read his own
paper, The Commoner. You will not
only find therein the truth concerning
Mr.. Bryan, but very many other ana
valuable truths. And since the pres
emit administration has drifted so far
from the ancient lana marks and safe
mornings of the past, it is important
that every patriotic citizen should
study and learn of public men and
public questions that he may vote
intelligently.

that prlnciple-the principle OF local
self government. Do you think that
one man or any man, in defiance OF
the opinion and wishes and interests
of majority of the voters ct town,
should have the personal privilege
of selling whiskey and making paupers

Electric cars are to be put in opera
ton within a week between Chicago
and suburban towns, and are guaran-
teed to make a speed of 1873 miles an
hour, compared with which the fast
mall will move like an OK wagon.
The cars will be operated on the third
rail system. Right at the beginnin e
of this inter-urban electric car line
movement the people ought to protect
their rights and interests by building
and owning the lines. rather than
giving or selling the franchises; and
by SO doing be able to control for all
time the local freight rate question.
The proposed line from Mt. Pleasant
to Nashville ought to be owned by the
counties of Maury, Williamson and
Davidson. Their operation is a mat
fer of detail, but he absolute right to
control, and the unquestionable power
to exercise that right, should be not
only reserved but clearly expressed In
all the grants and franchises, and
freely and fully exercised.
