An Embarrassed Candidate.

Since Mr.. Patterson's speech Mr..
Evans has had nothing to say in de-
tense or explanation, Of the Force Bill.
He has written to Washington for in
formation on the subject. He is very
much in need of information concern
ing the most famous and infamous bill
he ever voted for. He says he voted
for II. r. 6949 and undertakes TO ex-
plain and defend its twenty-one see
tions. He never voted for this bill.
This bill bears this note: "March 10,
1S0O-Read twice, referred to the Sc
leCt Committee on the Election of Pres
ident and Vice President and Repre-.
sentatives in Congress, and ordered to
be printed" The bill which Mr., Ev-
ans voted for which passed the Repub
lican House, and which was known as
II. r. 11O45, contained fifty.seven sec
tions. This bill passed the HOUSE
July 2, 1890. In the Senate July q
1890, it was tread twice and ordered tC
lie on the table" July 25, 1890. it wat
referred to the Committee on Priv
ifeges and Elections. August 8, 1890
it was reported by Mr.. Hoar with al
amendment'-and then began one o
the most extraordinary fights ever seer
in the Senate. The fight against thu
bill was led by Senator German, whom
the New York Sun declared, deserved
the South's eternal gratitude for hi
fight against this "most infamous
measure" Mr.. Evans will find no in
formation in Washington that will re
lieve him from this worse than awk
ward predicament in which he ha
placed himself. Nashville American.

INTERESTED IN STATE ELECTION.
Mr.. Bryan Says Democrats Must Elect
Patterson.

Special to Banner.
Memphis, Tenn, Sept. 20. -Declar-
ing his interest in the democratic state
ticket at the beginning of his speech
here today, Mr.. Bryan said:
''The election of Republican Gov
ernor in Tennessee would tend to mu-
tualize the democratic gains in Maine.
This tendency towards democracy in
Maine and Arkansas is greatly encour-
aging, and if Tennessee should go re-
publican the democrats would be dis
couraged and the republicans would
take heart. I want the machinery of
government in the hands of democrats
when the great campaign of two years
hence comes round. / am only inter
ested in the nominee for Governor, Mr..
Patterson, and all the others on the
state ticket personally, but for a
greater reason than my personal de-
sires, for the good of the democratic
party"
After dwelling on the imperative ne
cessity of sending democratic senators
and representative to congress he
began his speech in reply to Secretary
Shaw.
Rain compelled the committee to
change the place Of speaking from Red
Elm Park to the Lyceum Theatre. The
theatre was filed and hundreds we're
unable to gain entrance, the rain ap-
parently being unable to dampen the
ardor of Mr.. Bryan's Memphis adj
mirers.
Senator Carmack and Chairman Nor
row Of the State Committee with the
local committee accompanied Mr..
Bryan from the Gayoso Hotel to the
theatre. Senator Frazier's train was
delayed and he reached Memphis after
the speaking.

NEIGHBORS
QUARREL AND TROUBLES ARE
AIRED IN POLICE COURT.
Judge Puryear Says They Should
Move Away Instead Of Coming
To Him.

81 am going to dismiss this case
but don't you ever let me see you up
here again." Police Judge 70 II. Pur-
year stated this morning al he en-
tered up a dismissed" opposite the
name of Jennie Melton who resides
near Fourth and Elizabeth streets.
Judge Puryear does not believe in
family quarrels. and does not intend
to tolerate them. II families can not
live In peace as neighbors. then the"
had better move or pay fines, because
this is the attitude the police judge
takes, and he means 1t, too"
Jennie Melton and Victoria Crane
are neighbors. They rent from the
same landlord and use one hydrant
Jointly. Clarence Crane, a stepson of
the latter woman, amused himself
by squirting water from the hydrant
into Mrs. Melton's side OF the yard.
Mrs. Melton had instructions from
the property owner TO keep the yard
sanitary and free from water, and
had whipped her children for letting
water run from the hydrant. She
could not stand to see the neighbor's
child enjoying what she forbade to
her own offsprings. and went out to
take matters into her own hands.
The matter proved to be a little
too much. It was the Crane youth
and he handled the woman rather
freely. Just before he could get the
proper windup TO heave a brick at
the Melton woman she caught him.
This angered the step-mother and
warrant resulted.
Family quarrels over such a triv-
lal matters have been frequently
brought into courts, and ] do not in
tend TO tolerate them" Judge Pur-
year remarked.

The Indians proved "easy pick

Singers in slopvifle yesterday. ac-
cording to the dope in the Cairo Bull
letin. The fact that baseball has
come to life again in Cairo and a
brilliant future is painted for the
Hash SINGERS, made them play ball.
They went onto the field with conf
dence. and the Indians were beaten
with ease. The Cairo Bulletin says
Of the game yesterday:
''Paducah was easy picking for
the locals yesterday who with little
o1lort shut them out with ten runs
10 the good. Woodring pitched re-
markable good ball and allowed only
three hits and retired IL men. The
locals all had their their batting
clothes on and landed on the visit
ors for IS safe ones.
II all started OF in the first when
three doubles and a single were got

ed him. He stopped the scoring for
an inning. but in the third another
hating rally was held and three
more men crossed the plate. The In
4ians were unable to do anything.
Cairo continued her run-getting In
the NTH. sixth and eighth, scoring
ak more. In addition to Woodring's
pitching the features Of the game
were the catches OF Roland, Conner

ora Of what looked like hits"

NELSON and NOLAN ON THE WAY
TO NEW YORK AND White LIGHTS
Showed the Chicago Sports
$4,000 in Green
Backs

The White Lights of the City Of Great
Desire win shine once more upon Battling
Nelson and Billy Nolan.
Within the next few days the pair will
arrive on Broadway where they will re-
new the attack they have been making
on siler and attempt TO prove the cllim
that Nelson was jobbed in his fight with
Cans.
Nolan and Nelson stopped off in Chicago
yesterday on their way East and just
by way Of showing that they have a litte
money left, skinned $4,000 off the bank
roll and put it up as a forfeit for another
fight with Cans, winner to take side bet
purse and all, and battle 10 take plncs
any time after next Saturday.
Nelson and Nolan will stay in Chicago
a day or two and then come on to New
York. where Nelson may connect with
some show and exhibit himself for about
a thousand a week.
Cans by wire, imposes SOME new con-
ditions on Nelson If they ever do mix it
up again. 1.-THE next time fight Battling
Nelson he will have to wear a pad on
his head" says Joe.
III the public wants another Gans-Nel-
son fight I am willing. but that fellow
must wear three mitts. one on each
hand and one on his head He butted me
with his head as much as he hit me with
his fists, and won't fight him again
unless he wears a pad" laughed the
negro.
"The only mark I have from the fieht
is a cut on the lip where Nelson butted
me in the fifteenth round. And, say, that
pad must be a big. soft one. too"
When the Battier does arrive in New
York It is hoped that there will be some
news of his latest conquest in the Cupid
line.
Nelson's love affairs would form Il
theme to inspire another Bard Of Avon,
II that particular person could see the
Battler charm the damsels.
At Goldheld Nelson had a few fair
charmers to cheev him during his hour
OF travail.
One OF Nelson's .sweethearts, a MISS
Blanche Savoy, Of Chicago, attrac. ed
much attention to herself at the fight,
During the long battle at Goldheld Miss
Savoy sat and cheered the Battler.
Miss Savoy divided the attention of the
crowd between herself and the fighters.
