THE IRRBPRESSIBLE CY.
Famous East Tennessee Politician Is In
the City.


the City.
Cy H. Lyle, the man who gets out
the johnson City Comet a. often as he
can, was visitor to Memphis yesterday.
Cy is one of the most popular members
of the Tennessee Press Association,
and has one Of the best weeklies In his
end of the State.
In speaking Of the political situation
in his end of the State, Mr.. Lyle said
that Washington county is for Bate and
Cleveland.
"The convention which meets at
Jonesboro, our county site, next Sat
urday," says Mr.. Lyle, twill instruct
for Senator Bate, and will nominate
Democratic candidate for the legiSla-
ture favorable to him. The conditions
are such that although we have o strong
Republican county, we are going TO
send Democrat to the Legislature from
it this fall that will be for Senator Bate.
He is strong all over the upper end Of
the State.
''It seems strange, but it is true, our
people are coming around to Grover
Cleveland for President. A few years
ago his name was despised in my town.
but now the men who were the bitter
est against him in 1896 are for him.
They have come at last to believe that
there is no other name under political
canopy by which we can win. / believe
that he could get the delegation from
Washington right now"
The mountain branch of the soldiers
home is located at johnson City, and
Mr.. Lyle says that is one of the great
est institutions in the South, costing
over l,OOO,O0O 1t was located there by
Congressman Brownlow, Of the First
district. Mr.. Lyle was the Democratic
candidate against Mr.. Brownlow two
years ago and polled good vote against
the Big Boss of Tennessee Republi-
can politics.

Council of the Royal Arcanum and was
reelected one Of its Grand Trustees. -

The Herald says "The name Of Ed
win Hawley and Frank Ray were cur
rently mentioned by exchange brokers
ss being in some way connected with
the operations of Mr.. Sully. 1t was al
legged that the failure Of the Cotton
King was brought about by their ac-
tion in refusing to supply funds on Fri
day, and that the immediate cause of
his suspension was the refusal of Mr..
Hawley to make loan Of $500, 900 at
1 o'clock on Fridvy noon. In this loan
Mr.. Ray was to participate"

Gentry johnson and Parson BrOwnlow

Gentry johnson and ParsOn DrOwnlOw.
Mr.. Williams, in his reply to Mr..
Boutell, in the House, told an anecdote
OF old time politics, says the Washing
ton Post. He preiaced it with some
reference to the defeat Of Meredith P.
Gentry, an old time Wing, for Gov
ernor, by Andrew Johnson, afterward
President. Gentry went in state OF
decline soon after the election, his wife
died, and he was chagrined, because he
"had been run over by calf" having
held johnson in contempt.
Gentry became more and more mel
ancholy," said Mr.. Williams, until
finally lot of old Wings concluded TO
invite him to Knoxville to the house Of
old DR.. Sandy Williams, and have Q
party Of friends meet him there and
have q nice time and make him forget
his sorrows.
'Tn those days the gentlemen had
their long -necked demtiohns with their
whiskey, and these old Tennessee
Wings drank until pretty late at night
when old Said:
Gentleman, you know it is the Gus.

J full in prayer, expanded and expanded

THE LIQUOR QUESTION.
People Of tbs Territory should he
Allowed 20 Decide,

EDIToR CHEFTAIN:-A good deal Of
interested Is shown throughout the
Indian Territory relative to certain
features Of the organic law by which
we are 20 be covered when we become
a state.
The various churches, In convention
assembled or otherwise, have declared
it to be the duty Of congress 10 pro-
hibt The Importation, sale or use Of
Intoxicating liquors within the limits
OF the Five Civilized Tribes. They
have raised large fund to maintain
a lobbyist at Washington during the
present session OF congress, to secure
such legislation. IL Is also reported,
with how much truth do not know,
that the liquor dealers are actively
engaged in trying TO secure such legis-
lation as will enable them 20 sell
liquor.
Both parties in my judgment, are
wrong. The people OF the Territory
should be allowed 10 settle the saloon
question, as every other question,
for themselves. For many long, weary
years we have asked for self-govern-
ment. We hare urged and insisted
that we are as wellqualifled TO govern
ourselves as were the citizens OF the
surrounding states when admitted.
After all these assertions of our quall-
iications for statehood, how small will
we appear to go before congress and
the public admitting our inability TO
control the liquor trafiie. We win not
only 'look like thirty cents but
smaller still.
A government, like a stream, viii
not rise above itssouree. Ifa majority
OF the people OF this country want
saloons they viii have them: II ma
iority are opposed to them they viii
vote them down. Taking the Declara
tlon of Independence as our basic
principle, namely, that ''all govern
ments derive their Just power frcn
the consent Of the covered, F" believI
that Il will be more in accord with
justice TO submit the liquor question
as well as all Others, to the people.
