"That this law has prevented
fraud in East Tennessee is proven
beyond the possibility of ques-
ton by the fact that in 1894, when
Republican sheriffs held the cleo
tions, the Hon. I'll. Clay Evans, Re
publican candidate for Governor,
received, according to the face Of
the returns, 5S, 747 votes in the
counties of East Tennessee, while
four years later, in 1898, when the
elections were held i'll each county
by board composed of two Dem
ocrats and one Republican, the
Hon. James Fowler, an equally
able and popular candidate, only
received 39,444 votes. Both cleo
tions were held in off years, when
no President was voted for, and
nobody ever contended that Mr..
Fowler did not receive the vote OF
his party or have counted for him
every vote cast for him. No, my
fellow citizens, the trouble with
our Republican friends is that
these laws have prevented them
from stealing elections in East
Tennessee, and there is where the
shoe pinches.
"Does that party favor fair, nom
partisan and honest election laws,
and can it be trusted to write an
election law for the people Of Ten
neesee? Let us examine its record
o moment. When the Democratic
party came into power in 1870 they
did not find the law empowering
sherid's to appoint election officers
on the statute books. Oh, no.
They found there these laws which

the last laws passed by the Repub-
lican party on the subject Of cleo.
tons in Tennessee:
"'That the Governor Of the State
shall. within sixty DAYS after the
passage of this act, appoint a COM
mission of registration for each and
every county in the State, who shall
keep his Office at the county seat of
tie county, and it shall be his duty
to register the names of each and
every qualified voter, and to issue
certificate that such voter is en-
titled to the privileges of the cleo
tive franchise
"And not content with that, the
Republican party waited one more
year and then placed this election
law upon the statute books:
"That it shall be the duty of the
Commissioners of Registration of
voters to hold all elections now re-
quired by law to be held by sher-
ifs, and that for that purpose he
shall have all the powers and rights
that sheriffs now possess.
"The judges and clerks of all
elections shall hereafter be select
ed and appointed by the Commits
sionerof Registration in each coun-
ty in the State.
"That the Governor of the State
be authorized, and is hereby fully
empowered, to set aside the regis
tration Of any county in this State,
or any part thereof, of said regis
tration, where it shall be made to
appear to the satisfaction of the
Governor that frauds and irregu-
larities have interviewed in the reg
istration of voters in such county.
The governor shall make known
such fact, and set aside said part
or whole OF said registration where
frauds are shown to have been COM
mitted, by proclamation" (Sec-
ton |, acts of 1868, page 68).

A LUCKY MAN.
Lost His wife, But Got All His Money
Back.

William Baker, foreman of logging
camp No. 1, for the Oregon Lumber
Company, whose wife recently eloped
from her Sumpter home with a tin
horn gambler, taking the Baker balk
roll. and who brought suit against the
First National Bank of Sumpter for
the recovery Of the money, which his
wife drew from the bank without mis-
knowledge and consent, and then
hiked with the gentleman of the green
cloth, has returned to the woods. after
attending the trial Of the suit before
the circuit court, in Baker City. He
says that he knows nothing Of the
present whereabouts of his erring
wife, and cares less. He won his suit
against the bank, which institution
has been ordered by Judge Eakin TO
make good the loss Of the money, but
mont the wife. The amount involved
was $500. The legal point involved
was whether or not the wife was the
regularly constituted agent for her
husband The bank, at the trial
proved that she was in the habit of
signing his name to checks, without
protest from him. Baker, however
succeeded in proving to the satisfac.
tion Of the jury that this particular
$500 was his own. The jury thought
IL was. and, believing that a man who
lost his wife. should get something
back, brought in a verdict in his ia.

THE STATE CONVENTION.
Candidates For Delegates To Nation
al Convention Already An
nounced

Columbia State
Now that the county conventions
have been held the political talk IS
about the delegation that will be sent
TO St. Louis.
Four years ago the delegation was
positively instructed to vote as unit
for the denomination OF Bryan ana
for the reahirmation of the platform
of 1896 in general and in particular.
and was bound by the unit rule on all
questions. The unit rule is custom
OF the democratic party and the South
Carolina delegation will doubtless be
instructed to vote as unit. the ma
jority ruling. There was fight on
this point in the state convention OF
1000 but the unit rule was at length
adopted.
In 1900 the delegates-at-large to
Kansas City were Senator B. R.
Tillman. Gov. NJ. B. McSweeney. then
filling out Gov Ellerbe's unexpired
term. Col. Willie Jones. then as now
State chairman. and Senator 4. {.
Latimer. then member OF the lower
house OF congress. OF these four.
Senator'S Tillman and Latlmer will
doubtless desire to go to St. Louis as
delegates at-large and nc one is apt
10 object ii they do so desire. since
is is usual to send the two senator's.
Ii custom were followed the governor
would e one OF the four but Gov.
Hayward has signified his willingness
TO stand aside ii others are anxious
for the honor-whether the conven-
ton will insist upon his going remains
TO be seen.
Ex-Gov. McSweeney's friends will
present him for chairman Of the state
convention and it is inferred that he
will not be candidate for delegate
at-large again. Gen Jones. it is
! known. would like again to go TO the
convention in that capacity and
among the others mentioned are Col.
Tohn c. Haskell. who heads the Rich
land delegation. and Mayor R. Good
wvn Rhett. who is a delegate from
! Charleston. Col Haskell stated yes
! terdav that he desired to be selected.
He was formerly the member OF the
national committee from thols state
and has never ceased to keep in touch
with national politics. Mayor Rhett's
friends are urging his candidacy with
considerable enthusiasm.
Since the convention OF 1000 the
! congressional districts have changed
and the composition Of the district
delegations in that year does not m
dicate anything now. Each congress
sronal district is entitled To two dele
gates and these are selected by the
convention upon recommendation OF
! the delegations from. the Severa!
counties composing the district.
