The Right Sort.

Hon. M. r. Patterson, democratic
nominee for governor of Tennessee, is
quoted as saying that she would not
endeavor to control the individual Sc
lections for the legislative ticket, but
that he did want good, able, represen-
tative men named" Further on, Gen.
Patterson said he wanted men chosen
who would "stand on the democratic
platform and carry out the pledges
made to the people in that platform. -
Sentiments like these are what the
people like to hear from men they have
selected for office. Theyindicate clear
ly that he who entertains them and
lives up to them will attend carefully
to the particular business to which the
people have accredited him, and is not
likely to NEEDLE in affairs that are
without the proper sphere of his office.
In other words, these sentiments are an
assurance to the people of Tennessee
that Gen. Patterson if elected governor
will do all that is right and proper to
give Tennessee able and representative
servants, but will not use his high Of
fee as lever to subject other public
offices to undue machine influence.
In insisting upon implicit and un-
swurving adherence to platform pledges
democracy's nominee gives undiluted
pleasure to the masses and restores a
much needed confidence. OF late plat
form pledges have too often been made
simply to catch votes and then unblush-
ingly broken. We say to the people
that the candidates prediction pledges
constitute his stock in trade and Is val
liable, or worthless; sound, or rotten,
according to his willingness and integ-
rity in adhering to them. We don't
patronize butcher who sells us rotten
meat; neither should we trust public
men who give us stones when they have
promised bread.
Gen. Patterson's few words, empha-
sizing the necessity for preserving I'M
dimmed the platform pledges, though
expected from one of his well observed
record, nevertheless are most welcome
to the people. They give confidence
and they will prove vote gatherers; for
though there will be some who will moi
like the personnel of the entire demo-
cratic ticket, still these, if convinced
that the platform pledges will be rigor-
ously observed, are more than apt to
put aside the personal dislike to obtain
the public benefits of the platform. =

What Is TO Be Gained !?

1t is said there are many democrats,
especially in the business district Of
Nashville, who intend to vote for Mr..
Evans. We do not believe there are
any considerable number of these men.
But even to the few, we desire to say 0
friendly word. No man will deny them
the right to vote for whom they please
This is free country where every male
citizen 81 years of age and not disqual-
fled has the privilege of voting as he
chooses. But what is to be gained by
electing Mr.. Evans? In what way will
the state benefit? Can he run the state
on more economical lines, on more pro-
gressive lines? The democratic party
has had its representatives in the exec
utive chamber and in the other admin
istrative Offices for many years, and
while some of these have made mis-
takes, in the main, the state has been
wisely and economically managed. The
educational interests Of the state are on
more satisfactory basis than ever be-
fore. The state prison is a splendid
revenue producer. Two million dollars
or more have been paid on the public
debt, and the payments are continuing.
The state institutions are in good shape
and economically managed. Saloons
have been driven from nearly all the
towns and cities, and by democratic
majorities in the legislature. The bur
dens Of taxation have been more equit'
ably distributed, and by the same ma
jorities. The treasury is always able
to easily meet all demands. There ART
no scandals, no army Of grafters suck
ing the life-bleod Of the taxpayers. Will
Mr.. Evans, if elected, do more? Will

officers Of an opposite political complex
ion, Mr.. Evans can do little or nothing
True, he can appoint his henchmen Il
certain of the offices. He can supplen

The democratic nominee is a man O

progress. II elected he will be in har
mony with the dominant faction in tn

administrative officers. In such posi-
ton, so surrounded, he can bring abou

SYMPATHY FOR PATTERSON.

Gen. w. M. Brandon offered a reso-
luton of sympathy with Gen. nj. II.
Patterson, the nominee for governor,
on the death of his wife. The resolu-

resolution was as follows:
Whereas, Since this, the democratic

ic nominee for governor, Hon. M. r.
Patterson, has suffered the greatest
loss and misfortune that can befall any
man, the loss by death of his wife and
life companion; and
Whereas, Burdened with this sorrow
and bereavement he must go upon the
stump and appear at public gatherings
to carry the banner of his party and to
tell the truths and plead, not his own
cause, but that of the democratic party
of Tennessee, which fact will deprive
him of that quietude and retirement
which he no doubt so much desires,
thereby further pronouncing his great
troubles and loss. Therefore, be it
Resolved, by the democratic state ex,
ecutive committee, aud each member
thereof, That we tender Mr.. Patterson
our deepest sympathy in his bereave
ment, and pledge him that every demo
crat in the state, and we, as member
of the state committee, will bear al
much of his burden and the burdens O.
this campaign as it is possible for us t
do, and assure him that in the discharg
: of the duties of the campaign whicl
can be performed only by him, he will
have the consideration and sympath,

The Insurance Year Book gives re-

summary it appears that there were
226 companies concerned in San Fran
cisco, including the reinsurance cor
porations, or more than 100 in excess
of the number authorized. The 226
admit but 1000 900 as their col
lective net loss, but this is largely
misleading. The insurance losses,
which are vastly less than the prop
erty losses, are conservatively esti-
mated by men acquainted with the
facts to be not less than s185, 900, 600,
and will be found in all probability to
run nearer s175, 100000.
group of companies report less
than $4,000 loss each. Evidently these
corporations were interested in not
more than one policy each. The range
of losses, according to the showing of

S5,750,000 net for the Hartford to $500
for the Universe of Milan.
