Gates, Tyson and others, also strong
men. The committee decided by q
vote of nine to one, and the conven
ton sustained it, to seat the Tyson
or McMillin delegation, although it
was stated that four-ffths of the
democrats of Knox County were on
the Ledgerwood or Bate side, and
it was never disputed. The ground
for this action was "regularity,"
and the reason of it was to ''protect
the organization" Tyson being
"regularly" appointed chairman of
executive committee and he had or
ganized the thing. l cannot help
but believe that democrats should
adopt some better method of sspro-
tectlng the organization" than to
sustain such a gross and unscrupu
lous method of dep1iving four-fifths
of the democrats of the right of rep
resentation and to hurl the perpe-
traitors of such frauds headlong
from the party would do more to
strengthen the Organization" than
anything that could be done.
What they did may strengthen the
organization, but it is certain to de-
feat the democratic party in Knox
County.
In fact, it has come to be a cry
ing necessity that the party should
adopt some method of deciding
differences between democrats upon
the basis of absolute fairness and
justice.
There was a contest from Upton
County also, as some men claimed
rights as delegates by virtue of
proxies, participated in the selection
of committeeman of the 10th dis
%trict, delegate and alternate to
national convention, elector, etc.,
actually had the deciding vote in
the 10th district delegation; and
afterwards the committee on creden-
tials decided these same men to be
no delegates and had no right in
the convention at all; and yet their
work stands all the same.
One of the most pathetic incl
dents of the convention, In my
opinion, was the active and en-
thusiastic support given to Senator
Bate by the old Union soldiers,
every one of whom was a Bate man.
Such men as Major D. A. Carpen-
ter, Col. w. L. Ledgerwood and
Judge Ingersoll, of Knoxville, were
Just as ready to fight for Bate as
were the old Confederates, which
all goes to show that Bates strength
is due not only to the fact that he is
an old Confederate, but because he
the embodiment of all that is
ehivalrous and honorable, and that
for these reasons these gallant and
generous-minded old Union officers
we're for him heart and soul.

Mr.. Hearst Out Of The Running.

Washi ngton, May 3O.-The
financial and political collapse OF
the Hearst Presidential boom is the
! talk of the hour. 1t had been IN
derstood here for. some time that
Hearst was nearly at the end of his
string, so far as spending money for
delegates was concerned, and that
the hour was near at hand when he
would find it necessary to cut off
his campaign expenses and husband
his resources In taking care of his
newspaper enterprises. According
TO the version given in the Wash
ington Post, which has been friend
ly t % Hearst, in a letter to A. NJ.
Lucas at st Louis, MI. Lawrence,
Western manager of Mr.. Hearst's
interests, quotes Hearst as follows:
elf the people want me, they can
have me; if they don't want me, l
don't want the place"
In other words, Hearst has at
last discovered that the Presidency
cannot be bought, but he makes
the discovery after spending a
princely fortune, which is estima-
ted by persons in position to know
at 1900, 900.
About three weeks ago ex-Con-
gresham Lent and other friends of
Hearst came back from New York
with the news that Hearst had sue
ceeded in persuading his mother to
give up another million, but a few
days afterward there came whisper
ings that Mrs. Hearst had said that
would be the last, and now comes
news from Hearst that the barrel is
empty and that orders have been is
sued to the local managers of the
chain of Hearst newspapers to cut
to the bone. Mrs. Hearst's friends
here say she will not be embarrassed
even by the losses of the estate in
the political field. According to
one of Mr.. Hearst's friends, the
change of tactics was occasioned by
Hearst coming to the conclusion
he could not reach the nomina-
ton, and that he is not a bad loser,
but that his chief regret is that he
himself to be s'worked''
SO fagrantly by gangs of political
grafters. He realizes now that he
has been imposed upon by men who
passed as his admirers, but who
simply vulgar grafters.-Nash-

Notes on State Conventions.

EDITOR BULLETIN-A great con
vention of the democratic party Of
the state Of Tennessee, fraught al
it is with the fate of men anC
measures for at least two years to
come, is and should be a very in.
teresting spectacle, and should have
the intelligent scrutiny of the PEG.
pie of the state who are not especial
ly interested in office-holding, but
who actually have a far deeper and
more abiding interest In it's results
than any M else, because the issues
of good or bad government are here
settled and becomes the policy of
the democratic party, from which
there stands no appeal, no alternity,
except in republicanism, from which
every true Southern man must turn
with horror.
The convention which met last
week in at least two respects sur
passed any other convention held in
Tennessee. 1t was the most numer-
GUS convention ever held here and
the most sober one. The railroads
gave low rates from every direction,
and the great Chamber of Represen-
tatives was filled to its utmost ca
pacity. The soberness of this vast
crowd might be ascribed to the
growth of a sentiment so noticeable
within the last few years in favor
of temperance and prohibition.
Equally remarkable was the fact
that although there were no con-
tests for the nomination of any of
the candidates from Governor down
Except in selection of delegates)
and yet the contests within different
delegations was so intense and bit
ter that the whole of the first day
was consumed in organizing, which
was only completed at $50 O'Clock
at night.
The most noticeable contest was
that from Knox County, the hear
ing of which occupied the greater !
part of the first day and night be-
fore the committee on credentials.
The trouble seemed to be that the
executive committee of Knox Coun-
ty had in an arbitrary manner, and
without consulting the wishes of a
majority of democrats, appointed
delegates to this convention and
nominated candidates for the legis-
in the interest of McMillin
and against Bate. The hearing be-
fore the committee was conducted
with as much order and dignity as
# it had been a court of justice.

AT the recent state convention,
Hon. John Wesley Gaines, former
ly one of the most ardent advocates
of free silver, nominated Col. Cham
pion as alternate to the st. Louis
national convention. Some galoot
whispered it around among the del
egates that Col. Champion was a
''g~old-bug." This settled Lis fate,
and his name was withdrawn. Thus
another patriot has been sacrificed
upon the altar of principle.

SENATOR Matthew Stanley Qua

SENATOR Matthew Stanley Quay,
n of the leaders of the republican
party, died at his home in Pennsyl-
vania on Saturday last at an adj
vanced age. Senator Quay was &C.
cused of many shady acts, among
others of being a corruptionist and
boodler, but he was always too
shrewd to be detected. For years he
had absolute sway in his state, but
in the latter part of his life he lost
caste even with his wi party.

BLIND TO CRIME-WORk WAITS
Mississippi Planters Will Not Convict
Negroes, They Need Laborers.

NE WORLEANS, Sept. 2S.-Because
negro labor is scarce on the cotton
plantations, Mississippi planters will
not convict negroes for murder or other
crimes. They needed them in the fields.
Such is an explanation made to Gov
ernor Vardaman of the recent increase
of crime in the state The farmers who
serve on juries, it was declared, invar-
iably acquits the criminals, with the
understanding that the prisoners are to
help in harvesting the crops.
This disclosure was made by judges
of the circuit courts of the state to
whom the authorities had appealed for
suggestions. Since last January 500
murders have been committed in Mis-
sissippi.
Governor Vardaman declares that he
has been terrorized by the showing
and that he proposes taking radical
steps to suppress the crimes. The ma
jority were committed by negroes.

OTTO KLEIN CLAIMS THE SOUTH.
ERN PACIFIC MANNED AND
HELD HIM.
Though He Had Means Says He Was
Detained as Pauper in
Sacramento.

PORTLAND, Ore, Sept. 2S.-Tnough
a man of means and we'll known in
Kentucky, in which state he has his
home, Otto Klein claims that when the
Southern Pacific company's employees
found him beside the railroad track
where he had fallen at Sacramento
CAL. they treated him as a tramp and
caused him to be lodged as a paupel
on the poor farm at that place, where
he remained until his brother came
west and proved his identity. Because
of his treatment Klein, who was on his
way from San Francisco to Portland
when the accident befell him, has
brought suit against the Southern Pa
cific for $4,000, the complaint having
been filed in the federal court in this
city.
Klein is a German a man
of good address, and announces ne will
fight the case through every court In
the land or obtain what he considers
to be his deserts.
When Klein fell from the cars he
claims the Southern Pacific passenger
train was standing at the depot at Sa-
cramento, Cal, This was on November
q, 1903, and not for months afterward
did his relatives know what had be-
come of MIN.
jolt Threw Him of.
In his complaint, now on file in the
federal court, Klein says he was pass
ing from one car to another, when a
sudden jolt of the cars caused him to
lose his footing and he fell to the
track. simultaneously the train start
ed, and the unfortunate man was run
over, his skull being crushed and one
leg so severely injured that amputa-
ton was found necessary.
The train passed on, and when Klein
was found there was no one to iden-
tify MIN. He was rated as a tramp
was given medical attention, and then
became a county charge, the injury to
his skull bringing about mental de-
rangement which prevented his prov
ing his identity. In rational moments
he told his strange story, but there
was none to believe him, so he re-
NAMED pauper.
A short time after the accident the
relatives of Klein, receiving no word
from him, commenced an investigation
and his brother came west to look MIN
up. After considerable effort the in
iured man was traced to Sacramento
and located at the poor farm.

ROSE NOT A HOLY TERROR
"Chicken" Reeder Once Larruped the
Bio Man With Little Effort.

SANTA ROSA, Cal, Sept. Is

accomplishments and not few Vlcto-
ries in the amateur ring to his credit,

is being given to Ralp Roses claim that
he is the only man who can defeat
Champion Jeffries.
He has the distinction of having put
the athletic giant down and out with
very little effort. OF course. it was
couple of years ago, but Rose was just
as big as ne now is, and Reeder was
no larger, his present height being
aobut feet 6 inches. He is in the
lightweight class.
