Passing of the Metropolitan.

The building belonging to Mr..
Cobb, to the rear of the Brackin
Hotel, known as the old Metropoli.
tan Hotel, weather beaten and worn
from years of abandonment and
neglect, is now being torn down by
carpenters. This old house once
stood on the lot now occupied by
the Brackin Hotel and was erected
by Col. VIM. Askins. 1t was a
large frame structure, and in those
palmy days was known as one of
the finest hotels in West Tennessee,
probably the largest outside of
of Memphis. Union City was then
growing by leaps and bounds and
the hostelry was very busy and
popular place. After some years
the property was conveyed to Mr..
Brackin and in the course of time
replaced by the brick hotel, the old
building being moved 10 the lot in
the rear, or east. Since that time 1t
has been used for different pur-
poses, sort OF lust campln'"
place for rowing citizens. A year
or two ago it became the property
of Mr.. Cobb, who is now having it
torn down and the lumber stored,
or such as is valuable, to be used
for building purposes.

Result In State Very Close, And Official
Canvass Is Necessary to Tell Who Is
Elected Governor Republican State
Ticket Is Safely Elected.

There was undoubtedly a governor
elected last Tuesday, but Just who it
was is not known at this time.
Gov. Peabody and his friends claim
the election by plurality of about
$500. The governors friends are con
fident that he has safe majority when n
the votes are all in and fairly counted
The election of a governor may be
determined by the fraudulent vote in
Denver. Gov. Peabody claims if the
districts in Denver which put up the
big fraudulent msiorities against him
are thrown out he has a good plurality.
The Democrats are equally certain
that Adams is elected and claim the
state by upwards of 10000 The Demo-
Gratis claim q majority of over 5000
outside Of Denver.
Until the votes are all counted and
Official returns in there is no way of
knowing what the total majorities are
but at this time it looks As il Adams

Bryan On Parker.
(Cut this out for reference.

William Jennings Bryad in a speech
made at Springfield, Missouri, the 9th.
er day said
Judge Parker believes in the gold
standard. l believe in bimetalism,
but l can vote for him in order that
through him the country may rid itself
of an imperial policy. What if he
does believe in the gold standard?
never disliked an advocate of the gold
standard so much that 1 would refuse
any aid that he was willing to
give toward bringing to the country
any good things, and Judge Parker Is
election would bring us relief from i'm
perialism. If any silver Democrat is
still in doubt as to his duty. let me
say to him that Judge Parker voted
for me when the restoration of bimet-
alism was the paramount issue. If be
could vote for me when the money
question was paramount, l can vote
for him when we are confronted with
another and greater issue than the
money question.
