PATTERSON IN MEMPHIS.

Reports from Memphis show
that M. X. Patterson was received
with open arms at the Lyceum
theatre building Monday night.
The Commercial Appeal says that
though the speaking was to begin
at S o'clock at 7.S0 there were no
seats to be had. The aisles, the
windows and doorways and every
available foot of space eyinced the
interest which has grown towards
Mr.. Patterson, and the paper pro
ceeded in this wise: Every fac
ton in local politics was repre-
scented. The leaders Of the differ.

lamb looked out into the sea of
faces on the other side of the foot

6 THEREBY HANGS A TALE. .

If the truth is known General
M. Il. Patterson has been the most
maligned man In Tennessee. Many
ardent prohibitionists have been
guilty of indiscretions of per-
sonal nature, and if it were pos
sible to force this element from
the ranks there would be precious
few prohibition voters left. Why
is it that other prominent Demo-
Gratis in the State who have been
guilty of the same things charged
against Patterson are not held up
to scorng Why should a few
Democrats get behind the cloak of
temperance-no temperance in its
broader sense but teetotalism-
and join the company of Republi-
cansa What is the signifcance9
1t is neither temperance nor pro.
hibition.
What is it9
Sore toes, and that is the secret
of the whole affair. Examine the
situation if you don't believe it
and see for yourself. Men who
are beset with the pangs of office
hunger would barter their soul for
a shilling. These are the charac
ters who are undertaking to deliv-
er us unto the hands of the enemy
and these men are parading in the
suise of temperance. These are
disappointed Office seekers who
are sulking in their tents. They
put themselves above the party
and their craving above the wei.

A grand Democratic rally is to
be held in the city of Nashville on
November 5, the last day of the
present GubernatoriaI campaign,
and Elk Governor Taylor, the party
nominee for the United States Sen
ate, has been chosen as the chief
orator. We remember in days gone
by when Court Square was filled
with people on the eve of an cleo
ton, and Of all the speakers Bob
Taylor was the only one who could
hold the vast crowd. There is not
more popular Democrat nor a
bigger man in the South than Bob
Taylor. His services are always
in demand on occasions of moment
like this.

1t behooves every Democrat to
go to the polls on election day.
While the prospects are encourag-
ing you should not depend upon
your neighbor to do the voting.
Ii is a duty devolving upon you
as q citizen. If you fail to vote
Others might do the same thing,
and general feeling Of this kind
over the State might, endanger the
ticket. We believe, however, that
Democrats in Tennessee are alive
to the importance of this election.

A tremendous amount of corn
has been marketed this week.
Most of it was sold in the field
last summer and the price was
two dollars barrel and up. The
prices range this week around one
seventy FIVE. The condition of the
crop is hardly SO bad as reports
made it during the rainy season.
There is lots of corn and it has
been well sold. Cotton is not very
fine, but the price is good and TIE
farmer has not been hurt much,
we are glad to say. Trade is also
looking up during the past two
weeks and a better feeling pre-
walls everywhere.

forget. If you do we'll charge
you with base partisanship and

Who that has an intimate knowl-
edge of the Republican party in
Tennessee, its record, methods and
arguments, will deny that this is

tention p Nashville American.

Now is the time of all others,
Democrats, when the election Of
a Republican Governor in Tennes-
see would be a serious calamity.
Race riots in the South are devel-
oping to considerable extent, and
to elevate such man as HI. Clay
Evans to the Office of Governor
would be ruinous. It would cause
regret among the people of Ten
nessee that years would not atone.
To elect the man who championed
the Force Bill in a Congress, a
measure having all the terrors OF
a forked tongue, ready to deyour
the manhood of the South, would
be more than ruinous. 1t would
be public calamity, the results
of which are uncomfortable. We
do not want to enter upon dis
cussion of the race question-do
not want to stir it up. Time
enough it will be when forced up
on us. Hence the warning is suf.
ficient to all thinking men.

Only eleven days until the cleo
tion, and the prospects for the
usual Demo cratic majority for
Governor and the entire ticket is
fiattering.

THE CANDIDATES

No stronger character or more
forceful speaker than Malcolm r
Patterson has ever offered as 8
candidate for public office in Ten,
nessee; no more honorable and up.
right citizen than he was ever en-.
trusted by the people of the grand
old Volunteer State with the duties
of the high Office which he seeks;
he is a gifted son of distinguish
ed family of the South; he has held
high Office in the State and nation
and the record of his achieve
ments stamps him as a man of
strGng intellect, of unimpeach-
able good character, refutes the
slanderous stories that his politi-
cal enemies have circulated. He
is eminently fitted to fill the office
of Governor of Tennessee. He
is to the manner born, he is a
son of the Southland, he is a bril-
liant and gallant gentleman, his
heart is filed with the sentiments
of the South, the love of home, the
patriotism, the kind of unyielding
faithfulness to duty that is born in
the hearts of the sons of the moth
ers of the old South; he is our
neighbor, he is a Democrat, he is
from West Tennessee.
His opponent is an alien, he is
member of the tribe of carpet
Dagger reconstructionists that in
vaded the South at the close of the
Civil War to humiliate and add in
suit to the injury that had been
done the South; the purpose of the
infamous "Force Bill" of which he
was supporter, was to rob you of
the right to vote, his reference to
"the poor colored man" calls to
mind the repulsiye deeds of black
brutes, and the shrek in his tones
ono of the screams of out
ragged women; he is here to-day as
of old for political profit and plum
der, he has no sympathy for the
South and no respect for her laws
and suggests that English methods
and English laws should be adopt
ed. In his recent address at the
in Union City to a |
handful of people, he denounced
clinched teeth and sought
to bring reproach and shame upon
the names of our most honored and

DARING PLOT EXPOSED.
Armenian Revolutionists Attempt
Robbery of Magazine.

daring plot of Armenian revOlutionists
to rob the magazine In the arsenal
at Baku, Caucasia, guarded by the
Salivansk regiment and containing over
million rifle cartridges, the entire reserve
supply for all the regiments composing
the garrison, has been accidentally discov
vered when the conspirators were already
on the very verge of success. They bored
a tunnel 700 feet long in the direction OF
the arsenal. 1t was one of the most pre-
tentious examples of subterranean work In
revolutionary annals since the days of the
terrorists of the eighties.
From the basement of an Armenian
house the revolutionists worked their way
Under several intervening residences at
depth of twenty feet. They constructed
a completely sided tunnel. rooted It with
planks and provided it with electric lights
and electric bell service, connected with
the stations of the several revolutionists
on watch Owing to a slight miscalculation
the tunnelers in burrowing upward entered
not the magazine, but an adjoining store
room in the arsenal containing uniforms.
Before they had time to rectify their mis-
take the revolutionists were accidentally
discovered by officer.
The alarm was given, and a Gordon OF
troops was Immediately thrown around
the adjoining houses. But owing to the
length of the tunnel the Armenian house
from which the conspirators started was
not suspected and they had ample time to
escape. The entrance of the tunnel was
eventually discovered by volunteers who en-
tered 1t from the store room end and traced
the subterranean passage to its source.

Times Are changing-In Kansas.

The times are indeed changing and we are
changing with them. In the old days poll
ticians stood together. 1t was considered
virtue to stand by your friend-whether he
was good or bad crooked or clean. In the
old days political debt might be paid out
of the public treasury, and If there was
law for it no one complained. In the old
days there was honor among thieves IN
Kansas, and no one told tales, and L tales
were told the people were taught that the
gods could do not wrong, and no one belieN-
ed the tales Less than twenty years ago
the United States marshal of Kansas lay
half a day dead drunk and half naked IN
the secretary of states Office, and the
whole statehouse and all the reporters In
town came to look at him and laugh Less
than twenty years ago Kansas politicians
kept their mistresses on the state pay-roH
and 1t was considered good morals. Less
than twenty years ago man lost no
standing in Kansas politics by being known
as a railroad man in the legislature. Less
than twenty years ago the legislature adj
journed drunk and disorderly. and took
home it's own desks and carpets. ana the
writer hereof tried in vain to get one OF
them. Times have changed and we change

The Universities of Switzerland.
From Harper's Magazine.

Geneva is only one of the universities of
little Switzerland Basel founded In 1910:
Lausanne. founded as an academy in 1897
and as university in 1890: Zurich. found
ed In 1892: Bern, founded in 1894: Freiburg
founded in 1Ss9-have each secured a high
educational place, though in it's historic
fmpressiveness Geneva is unique But
Geneva and her five companions are noble
illustrations of the spirit and power Of
democracy. Their support is derived large
by from the cantons in which they are To-
Gated. Although the constitution of 1S4s
authorized the federal government to erect
and to maintain a polytechnic school and
university, the university has not been es-
tablished. The cantons support their uni
versities with a willingness which is as
great obtains In the states of the Amer
lean Union touching their respective state
universities. The University of Zurich is
maintained by commonwealth of but $50
Coz people. and within an area of less than
