mittee will object to granting their
request.
Ii is impossible to forecast the
result of an issue between two
men so personally popular with
the great body of the public. Both
have much to commend them ia
the voters, and both have substan-
tial claims of faithful service to
the party as a ground for making
this fight. 1t is said of Robt. L.
Taylor that when once he speaks
it is difficult to get away from him.
There is native music in his soul,
and the apostle of sunshine has
Frightened many lives because of
this music. He has sung his song
to the nation, and audiences in
every State in the Union have sat
in hushed silence under the spell
of the liquid flow of music from
his tongue. On the other hand,
Senator Carmack is a speaker who
cuts to the heart of things. He
has that keen faculty of reaching
the center of an issue, and his
power of analysis is so keen that
the audience before him cannot
confound fact with fancy, but is
thrilled with the strong sense of
justice and truth, and while the
ear is delighted with the poetry of
one speaker, it is thrilled with the
statement of fact of the other.
While the charm of the poetry of
one speaker fingers, the pertinent
and pregnant fact as presented by
the other speakepremains with the
voter when he enters the booth to
vote. 1t will be understood that
while the styles of both men are
dissimilar, they are both potent to
please, and both are possessed of a
certain individual magnetism
which will make them formidable
opponents on the stump.
LINES CLOSELY DRAWN.
The meeting of Carmack and
Taylor will be the beginning of
one of the closest and hottest cam
paigns ever waged in this State.
Already lines are tightly drawn.
The machine has begun its grind.
1t will be opposed by a combina-
ton of untirlng strength. While
the power of organization will be
and will urge the
election of E. w. Carmack, all of
that unorganized energy which
can be aroused from its latent
lethargy, when occasion demands,
will be brought into action in be-
half of Robt. L. Taylor. The
first meeting of the two will maui
gurate the fight. 1t will be waged
in every county in the State to a
bitter end, and the best man will
win. Not in the recollection of
the present generation has con-
test between men so evenly |
been fought out over the
checkerboard of Tennessee. 1t
will be a meeting vital with inter-
sst and will be followed with una
hated interest by every man inter-
ested in public life in the country.
The speakers will be followed from
one place to another, and the press

once of hearing an eastern democrat
inquire of an old democratic member
of Texas who did not relish the young
mans assumption of leadership,
Don't you think young Bailey a
little cheeky?" "Cheeky!' snorted
the veteran, "He passes the domain of
cheek, Sir. 1t is rhine he has got,
simon pure rhine! Why, sir, if the
most viscious mule should kick him
squarely in the face with his two hind
feet that mule would hObble through
the rest of his life on his two fore-legs.
That is the kind of cheek Joe has got.
Its adamantine."
1t is but just to say that Mr.. Bailey's
virtues are as numerous as his faults.
He is as honest as the sunlight and
courageous as a lion. AS a constitu-
tional lawyer he has few equals and no
superiOrs in the land. He is a
mastery parliamentary tactician, a
powerful debater, a close and cogent
reasoner. If the Democratic party
follow the advice of Champ Clark Of
Missouri, go south of Mason q Dixon's
line to select their presidential
candidate, | know of no man more
likely to be chosen than Joseph w.
Bailey and there has been democrats
of much less caliber than he who have
occupied that position.

Mr.. Harry Gordon, who has given
us many Of the best attractions that
have appeared here at the Grand opera
house in past seasons, promises us
the best effort of his career in his new
production, ga Royal Slave" which
to the opera house Friday,
April, 21st. The critics throughout
the country have been lavish in their
praise of this new play and pronounce
it one of the most worthy productions
that has been seen here in many
years. After so many of the cheap,
trashy melodrams that we have had
recently, ga Royal Slave" will be a
welcome diversion. Not only is the
play of high standard, but the
magnificent way in which Gordon &
Bennett have mounted it is largely
responsible for its unusual success.

Bailey finally said isn't there a man
named Bailey a candidate also?"
eyes," replied the farmer, There is a
cheeky young LAWYER by that name,
who thinks he is running but he don't
stand any show" "They do say"
continued the astute Joseph, "that
this young fellow is a pretty good
talker, you ought to call him out for
a speech" "How can | get him out?"
asked the farmer. "Oh, just pound
on the floor with your cane and yell
Bailey "By gum! I'll do it; l like
a good Speech" said the old man.
BY this time they had reached the
outskirts of the city and young
Bailey after c%ourteously thanking the
old man for his ride, mingled with
the crowd. True to his promise, at
the first lull in the convention pro-
ceedings the farmer pounded the
floor with his stick and vigorously
yelled, Bailey! Bailey!" The crowd
took it up and Bailey stepped out
on the platform. Then as now he
was a prince among orators. In
burning words he dilated on the
achievements of democracy and
extolled the glories of the Lone Star
| state. The crowd went wild over his
fervid eloquence, but still the old
fellow pounded the floor and yelled,
Bailey! Joe Bailey!" A fellow
delegate nudged him and said: "Shut
up you burned old fool; that's Bailey
talking now" ''Durned fool, your
SELF" Indignantly replied the man,
chats the man that told me to yell
for Bailey!"
Bailey, however, took the conven-
ton by storm; he was triumphantly
nominated and was of course, elected
and he took his seat in the SIND
congress almost before he reached the
constitutional age, and notwithstand-
ing that congress contained as many
or more able democrats as any before
or since for many years, he leaped
into prominence at a single bound.
He became the democratic nominee
for speaker in the 54th congress and
the democratic minority leader, being
one of the youngest men that was ever
honored by such a post of response
bility.
1 do not know of a public man in
the United States that possesses as
many faults, weaknesses and follies
as Joseph w. Bailey. He is Indifferent,
quick-tempered, arrogant, spectacular,
domineering, self-conceited, and ex-
tra%ordinarily vain. The writer was
a member Of congress with him for six
years and was personally familiar
with his career as a U. s. Senator for
two years more and if there is any
thing under heavens starry vault that
is connected with Joseph w. Bailey
that he is not vain Of the writer
failed to discover it. He is vain
of himself, his personal appearance,
his abilities and his accomplish
ments. He is vain of his beautiful
wife and two bright boys. He is vain
of his democracy. He is vain of his
native and adopted state and lastly
but by no mean least, he is vain of
his own overweening vanity. His self
confidence is supreme and his self
conceit monumental. l remember

The subject of this sketch was born
in Mississippi, in 1868, and sc
has a number of years yet to live be-
fore he arrives at the age when DR..
Osler declares men should be pain
lessly removed by a dose OF chloroform
as useless membranes of the earth.
Young as he is Mr.. Bailey has
acquired a greater competency and
achieved a greater reputation than
most men who have lived to the
chloroforming age. AS Mark Twain
would say, Joseph w. Bailey was born
very young and began living as soon
as he was born. He is one of the
striking examples in the country of
what a youEg man can accomplish in
this land Of opportunity ii he possesses
ability and keeps busy. Before he
was old enough to vote he mad achieved
a reputation in his native state as a
shrewd, able and daring politician.
He was a splendid speciman OF the
gallant, reckless, daredevil young
southerner, gallant, high-strung, a
night-rider, a leading spirit among
those southern sinners who with whip
and pistol p~atrolled portions of the
south intimidating voters, especially
colored voters of the opposite political
faith, and verify believed from the
inmost depths of their hearts that they
were rendering God and their country
a service by SO doing. In those wild
days no doubt, young Bailey per-
formed many actions that he is now
heartily ashamed of but he would die
before he would own up to it.
Mr.. Baily found the of
advancement in his native state
pretty thoroughly occupied. The
old South is %consertive. 1t clings
tenaciOusly to old customs, old
methods and old men. Young
Bailey had no notion of waiting till
he was gray-haired before he forged to
the front and so n sunny morning
he struck out for Texas, arriving there
in 1895 with no capital but his nerve,
his ability, and his law diploma, but
that is all a man needs to get ahead
in Texas. He plunged headlong into
politics and soon had the older
politicians going. There was a
spirited contest for the democratic
nomination for congress soon after he
arrived in the district and he entered
the lists. No one thought he stood a
ghost of a show but that made no
difference to the enthusiastic young
Mississippian. A good story is told
of his first nomination to congress.
l do not vouch for its truth, but it is
good enough to be true and it is
characteristic of Bailey. He lived
about a dozen miles from the conven-
ton town and as in those days he was
blessed with more animal spirits and
strength than cash, he concluded to
get up early and walk over and save
railroad fare. He was swinging along,
head thrown back. breathing in the
glorious Texas atmosphere, and there
is lots of atmosphere in Texas, when
he was overtaken by an old farmer
delegate who was driving to the
convention in a spring wagon. He
invited the young man to ride with
him and Bailey clambered lightly up
into the seat beside him and soOn had
the old mar deep in the discussion OF
the merits of the respective candidates.
He named one after the other, dwell

betrayed a woman to save his cause,
and the other has redeemed her by
treason to his comrades. 1t raises

lesson that the end never justlfies the
