Ex-senator Davis speech of accept
ance is sound, sensible and breathes the
spirit Of genuine Democracy. 1t is
short enough for all to read, and all
should read it. When Mr.. Davis speaks
of labor ana its inherent rights he
speaks as one with evident knowledge
and real sympathy. He says: "For sew
eral years / worked in the ranks as a
wage. Garner, and | know what it is to
earn my living by the sweat of my
brow. have always belived-and my
convictions came from the hardships of
experience that measured by the char
acter of work he does and the cost of
living a man is entitled to full compen-
sation for his services. My experience
as a wage-earner, and my association
with labor have alike taught me the
value of Democratic principles, for in
them the hnmblest has the strongest
security for individual right and the
highest stimulus to that independence
of spirit and love of self-help which
produces the finest private characters
and form the base of the best possible
government" Here Is man who has
worked as day laborer and who is now
worth millions, aud who, through all
the changes, has valued and steadily
held TO the principles of Democracy as
best for all. Nashville American.

We do not like to see our array Of

of them, The South is rapidly regain
ing its old time power in the Senate
and we all want to see the day come
when every Southern state will be as
we'll represented as Tennessee and
Texas.
Tennessee has no idea of displacing
either of her United Senators. The
people Of the State are we'll pleased
with them, and it is the general YER

prove on them. The sact that they are
held in such high esteem by the Hous-
