The Democrats of the New Yorl
State and the Republicans OF the sam'
State are in quandary as TO who Il
nominate for Governor of New York
State. President Roosevelt wants
Elihu Root nominated, but he declines.
hut his palty will coerce him and force
him TO Iun. The factiOnal fight in
New York City makes il difficult to
select proper man. David b. Hill Is
the ablest Democratic speaker in the
State. but Tammany Hall does not like
him, and Tammany votes two hundred
thousand votes. There is great regret
that William C. Whitney is dead, for
he could carry the State, If he were
alive. The Democrats have one man,
Grover Cleveland, and he should be
made to run. He can carry the State
in a sweep. His election in 1884 by
the unprecedented majority of 19}, QUO
caused his nomination for Eresl-
dent, and he was elected Try
him again. The party needs him.
Let him run and help to elect Judge
Parker. Let the party call on him tc
run. He can win. Make no mistake.
He alone is the father of the Gold
Basis. He almost destroyed his party
in doing it. Now let him save his
party by running for Governor and
electing Parker President. He Is
great man; he will do it. 1t is the.
only thing to dc. His election would
not only carry New York State, it
would carry many eastern states, and
western states also. Nominate Grover
for Governor. He is the greatest man
in America today. John Quincy
Adams served in Congress after serv-
ing as President; Andrew Johnson, a
greater and better man, did the same.
Let Grover Cleveland serve again as
Governor of New York. the greatest
State in the Union, and then elect
Parker, and save the country to the
Democrats. 1t is great sacrifice and
4 great achievement. 1t is the only |
way to get all of Mr.. Cleveland s |
powerful help for Parker.
Col. D. B. Cooper, of Davidson. DR.. !
". J. McMurray and Capt. M. s.
Cockrill. are spoken of in the press as
proper men for the Democrats to elect
% the next Legislature. Three ADLER
II better men could not he found in
Davidson county for these important
POSITIONS. Col. Cooper is an exceed
ngly able man, conversant with
IffaiIs, and would take an able and
eadine part in the next Legislature.
The old soldiers Will need theiI ablest
nd best men in the next Legislature,
nd these three old soldiers can do
hem more good there than any other
hree men in Tennessee. Let Davidson
ounty send them to the Legislature.
