PATTERSON

After stormy and holly co n
tested Convention of four days,
Gen. M. r. Patterson was nomi-
mated for Governor on Friday
night, by reclamation. This
ends one of the fercest and spec
tacular campaigns the State has
ever seen. From expressions of
Democrats throughout the State
there seems to be no question of
his election, as everyone, even
those who fought him hardest
conCede that no man ever won a
gamer, drawer, battle against
heavy odds, and that the splendid
courage and intellect of the man,
will easily carry him to victory
in November. His platform is
clear-cut, specific and full of
meaning. Does his Republican
competitor inveigh against the
State Machine? He can say, /
have put it out of business. Does
Mr.. Evans show unfairness of
election law? Mr.. Patterson can
show that he has already won
the fight for reform along this
line. So all men who put prin-
ceple above party can consist
emily vote for him, and we hon
estly believe that many good Re-
publicans will be found support
ing the gallant young champion
of reform, just as many Demo-
Gratis voted for Senter in the old
time. They can get what they
want by electing Patterson, they
would lose it by electing Evans.
Gen. Hannah, the nominee for
Railroad Commissioner, will be a
tower of strength in the cam
paign, popular, eloquent. and
active. as he is. On the whole,
prospects could not be fairer, for
Tennessee and good government.

Fishes Defensive Armor.

From the Los Angeles Times
Two fairly well defended creatures now
before me serve to explain that hsh are
generally seized as prey from above, be-
cause nature invariably puts the arinor
where it is most needed. One of these Is
the horned shark, which has two defen-
sive spears, each high up on separate
dorsal fin; and the other is the trigger
fish.
In both cases the bayonets are pointed
for the enemy as when a battalion re-
ceives the order to prepare to receive cav
airy But the trigger fish has sort or
pocket knife Attachment for his. 1t folds
down into groove which reaches along
his back, exactly as the blade OF pen
knife may be turned down when Its use
Is not required.
The trigger fish is huge head pro-
PEELED by short. broad tail, with no m
termediate body to speak of; and In THIS
questionable shape he seems as unlike a
true product Of nature as the animals or

would not understand.
We swung alongside, threw them a line
which they could not well refuse, see
ing the superintendent was on the boat
dropped down with the current, and the
stranded boat was afioat again.
Sailing away, we whistled them good
by, but they made no answer
Rival Company Busy.
From this stranded boat and Others
that we spoke going down. we learned
that rival company was on the river
with fly steamer that was claiming a
record of three days and something to
the rapids. When we reached Dawson
we found this rapid runner with still an
other broom. There were three cham
pions on the run now.
In less than an hour from the time we
landed our crew had wagered all their
earnings on the Victorian The Dawson
papers were full of defies and notices of
thousands of dollars deposited here and
there to be covered by the opposition
boat and won or lost in a time race to
White Horse Beating on the turn of a
card was not even pleasurable pastime
now. In all the gambling halls men
were putting their money on one or the
other of the river racers
All this betting and bluffing gave rise
to a rumor that the Victorian, on the up
trip, would try to make a run that would
shut off all argument. The officials OF
the company said there would be no race,
but officials always say that.
The crew were all nervously alert. For
two days the black letters on a strip of
canvas had been screaming that the Vic
torian would sail at p. m. Wednesday.
At 1 80 every man of the crew was at his
post. At 1855 the general manager of the
line came and stood beside me at the
ratings. He opened his watch. ! spoke
to him, but he made no answer. All the
people who had come to say good-by to
friends had been hustled ashore.
As the last second licked off the captain
above us called to the men to cast off,
and Immediately the boat began to drop
down stream, drifting slowly from the
wharf. When she was two or three feet
from the landing a pretty woman came
running down the sloping bank, lifted her
skirts the least bit and. without Stacking
her pace, 1eaped gracefully aboard.
The great crowd cheered wildly as the
pretty woman turned and kissed her
hand to her father, who had followed
her down to the boat to say good-by
Against Five-MiIe Current.
At Klondike City we touched again,

them in the fuel record, but she outran
them all and carried the "broom,' which
meant to all the other boats that she was

But there was some racing. neverthe'
less. As we were coming down the river
we met one of our sister boats hung
high on a sandbar, but with new broom
nailed to her fiagpole. The captain OF the
Victorian had expressed the hope that
she might wrggle off before we reached
her, for he did not care to humiliate her
by hauling her from the bar. That was
before he saw the broom. After that dis
covery he bore down upon her at full
speed, wearing cruel smile and chewing
vigorously at the stem of his big pipe.
They saw us coming. We knew that by
