TAYLOR rs FOR BATE.
"Our Bob Out Flat-Footed For The
Veteran Senator.

VCUO4 0A 0CANOO1'
Knoxville Tenn, July 12.-Ex.

thing interesting to say to-day on
the Senatorial situation in Tennes.

Of Senator Bate, whom he wished
to succeed himself

the Ex-Governor. They can't see

Those who go against him will

staggered around and held to the

All I want to do in this race is
stagger around and keep my feet
so l can jump into the bed next
time.
Seriously, l see no reason why
this old man, rich in years and
!, honors, should be turned out If he
wants to stay in. l would have de-
feated him years ago If l could, but
the time is past now to defeat Sem
ator Bate. He has grown old, and
with the weight of years comes the
sentiment of war, the strongest in
the sentiment of any people. l
went against Shiloh once, but I'll
never do it again. am converted.
The sentiments of war are strong
er than the sentiments of peace.
Senator Bate is a much stronger
candidate now than ever; / would
not mind having the honor of sue
ceeding Senator Bate, but it is a
case of after you, my dear Castor,
with me, and I can wait till the old
man retires. I used to think that
if I did not get my hot blood in to
the Senate at once that the whole
country would go to the bow-wows,

longer put off my race the less I
am inclined to crowd out an old
man who has been just as good a |
Democrat as the country has ever
produced and brave and honored
soldier as we'll.
You can say that l am for Bate
first, last and all the time. I have
had several representatives from
headquarters come to me and tell |
me what big mistake was max
ing for being"for Bate, but l can't
see it that way. The only mistake
| ever made was running against
him in 1892, and l don't care to re-
peat it.

Discourteous Treatment.

TO- The boys report that the
Union City ball club treated them
very ungentlemanly, refusing TO pay
any expenses. 1t is customary for
the home team to treat the visiting
club with respect and pay 'all ex-

The Suffrage Issue.

1t is practically assured that the
next session of Congress is to be
celebrated with what may result
ina memorable agitation of the
suffrage question. If the Re-
publicans choose, as they proba-
bly, will, to make the bill that Con-
gressman Hardwick, of this state,
will introduce the foundation for
the debate, they will also charge
that the agitation comes up from
the Soutk and the Democratic party.
That will give the radicals among
the Republicans a happy reason to
resurrect and swing the bloody
shirt once more in the forefront of
the Presidential campaign.
1t is perhaps, a necessary outcome
of political conditions in this coun-
try that the question of The right
of state to control it's suffrage
privileges on equitable, constitu-
tional terms should be delivered
over bipartisan discussions and de-
cision. But the United States Su-
preme Court has said that suffrage
matters are political questions
within the purview of Congress
and subject to no other interference
by the courts than judicial inter-
probation under such acts as Con-
gress might constitutionally pass.
Such being the status of the
electoral privilege issues the only
tribunal that can deal with them at
first hand is Congress and to it
they must go. It would, however,
have been better if Congressional
discussion and action could have
been postponed d until the Supreme
Court of the nation had been ap-
pealed to in1some direct case to
pass upon the full scope and effect
of the foufteenth and fifteenth
amendments.
Just now there is growing and
strong expectation by eminent le-
gal and political authorities, North
as well as South, that the Supreme
Court will if left free from the in
fuences Of an acrid political cam
paign over the subject matter,
eventually and definitely decide
that the fifteenth amendment su-
persedes and nullifes the fourteenth
and throws the whole
matter OF the control of the suffrage
back to the states, conditioned only
by the said fifteenth amendment.
That would be just and equit-
able decision as between all states
and citizens. 1t would conserve
the representative system intended |
of the government and |
conserve the results OF the civil war
in their true effects, namely: the
freedom and equal citizenship of
the negroes. Suffrage is an Incl
dent and not an integer of citl-
zenshlp. Such decision, therefore,
would at once and amicably settle
the whole suffrage question as
lational issue.

$40 bill. He gave me no change"
Jumping Jehoshaphat!" roared
the other. Did you pay that bill?
Why, sneaked out and paid it my
self so you wouldn't get a chance"
Lets go and interview that
proprietor" they said together. Just

had been entertained came along.
