The comet. (Johnson City, Tenn.) 1884-1916, 1906-02-01

Patterson carried Upton and Dyer
counties Monday and added 81 votes to
his column, leaving him only 10 votes
behind Cox. The action in these two
counties practically eliminates Judge
Bond from the race, as Dyer was in his
judicial circuit, and confidently claim
ed by his supporters. Patterson carri-
ed it overwhelmingly and the Bond
men made the action of the convention
unanimous. In Upton Bond made o
house to house canvass and delivered
six speeches in a drive of thirty miles,
j. II. Mcdowell, two preachers, and
his son, Bate Bond, were speaking and
working for him. Patterson made one
speech at Covington and Col. N. W.
Baptist answered Mr.. Mcdowell at his
Covington appointment. Patterson
swept the county like cyclone, carry
ing some districts solidly, the Coving-
ton district $50 to 20 and the 9Th dis

Great Victory for Democrats.

The Hepburn railroad rate regula-
ton bill, as agreed upon by the twelve
republican and six democratic members
of the committee on interstate COM
merce, will bear the name of the re-
publican chairman of the house com
mittee, but the unusual result of unan-
imous agreement was reached because
of the bill offered by Judge Davey, of
Louisiana, many provisions of which
are incorporated in the bill to be re-
ported.
The bill practically paraphrases the
declaration of the last democratic ma
tional platform and yet has the approx.
al of the administration The last fight
over its terms was won by the demo
Gratis, who opposed the republican plan
to confer the power of fixing maxi
mum rate, and gave instead the power
to fix =" just, reasonable and fair re.
munerative rate" Both sides agreed
that the moral effect upon the senate
would be better if there was agreem ent
without bubble over details. The bill
will have plain sailing in the house.

BrOwnIOw Said to Want Cox Elected.

Washington, d. O., Jan. 24.-It is
understood that an emissary of II. Clay
Evans had long talk with Postmaster
General Cortelyou today concerning
Tennessee politics. 1t is reported that
a former gentleman told Cortelyou
plainly that Asbury Wright, whom
Brownlow has endorsed for the gov
ernorship, was being pressed in the
interest of the candidacy of Gov. Cox,
whom Representative Brownlow wants
to see elected, though a democrat.
Brownlow created surprise among Ten
nesseans in Washington, at least, by
endorsing the candidacy of Wright.
REPRESENTATIVE Hale has also endorsed
Wright's candidacy. 1t looks like
there will be a revival of the old Brown
low-Evans fight, which became so
strong at one time that Evans had to
be sent abroad as consul-general at
Liverpool to prevent something like
rival war among republicans of Ten
nessee.
