Ex.Gov. Taylor is the best known
and the most popular man in Tennes-
see, He has served one time in Con.
gress, has been twice state elector aud
three times governor Of the state. He
has been three times a candidate for
senator, aud at last the goal of his am
bition is about to be reached, He is
known as the Opposite of Sunshine, "
and on the stump and the lecture plat
form has won the reputation of a poet,
wit, humorist and sweet singer. No
man better understands human nature
or keeps in closer touch..-with the
masses. The humorist never gets full
credit for his ability, and Robert l..
Taylor has not escaped the penalty
which others have also paid. He is tc
be congratulated on his triumph, and
has good reason to be proud of it and
of his friends who have given HIM sucl
loyal and enthusiastic support. Nash

Bob Taylor, Senator.


The next senator from Tennessee will
sport bald head.
The fight between Carmack and Tay-
Tor for the formers seat in the senate
has been characterized by may sharp
passages and picturesque incidents.
Carmack is one of the most trenchant
speakers in the south, while Bob Tay-
lor bubbles over with humor, and pos
sesses a magnetic personality that
makes an audience his own Ave min
utes after he has begun to speak
Carmack has become during his nine
years of congressional life q national
figure. He has made some remarkably
able addresses in thesenate, but it has
been rather as relentless critic that
he has won recognition. 1t is to this
peculiarly of talent no doubt that his
defeat is due. That he has had hand
in making some much-needed expo
sures of official rascality is entirely
true, and he has often applied the
probe where it was badly needed; but
the exposure and the prosecutor and
the critic do not ordinarily make
friends by the exercise of their peculiar
talents. Wit is more apt to make enc.
mics than friends. Carmack, however,
made plenty of both.
Bob Taylor has won his way into the
senate at last. He has won by virtue
Of his kindly humor and his magnet.
ISM. The people of Tennessee by 6
decisive majority have shown that they
wanted him as their senator. He has
carried most of the counties of East
Tennessee, though his maiorities are
small, owing no doubt to the fact tina
the democratic vote of that division o.
the state is small. In Middle Tennes
see he seems to have carried three
fourths of the counties, and his MAORI
ty there is apt to reach 10000. II
West Tennessee Taylor has carried
, large majority of the counties, but tn
, transparent fraud perpetrated in Shell
by county by small coterie of polite
al pirates will make this division of tn
state very close.
1 We have no doubt that the new sena
tor will measure up fully to the expec
tations of his friends. Bob Taylor ha
had much experience in public life. II
has been congressman, and he ha
. been three times the governor of tn
state. He has been faithful servan

WEAKNESS OF THE COX CAUSE.
The Penitentiary Ring New Ready TO De-
sePt the Governor.


Special to the Oommmercal-Appal.
Nashville, May 1.-THE Cox men in
Nashville and many other parts of the
state are assiduously working to bring
about the nomination of Senator Car
mack for governor. They know John
|. is beaten, and are hoping to get the
nomination for Carmack in order to de-
feat Gen. Patterson. A dispatch from
Knoxville, printed here today, says the
Cox delegates from that county are
ready and anxious to go to Carmack.
Down in Maury county the Cox men
are asking for an minstructed delega-
ton on the plea that if the delegates
are free they can the better advance
Senator Carmack's cause. The same
advice is being given in Williamson,
but the senator's friends are not likely
to be caught by any such chat.
Nowhere does there seem to be de-
mand for Joe Washington. Even the
Cox men do not believe Joe can get it.
They feel that it must be Carmack or
they will have to see victory perch on
Patterson's banner.
This cry for Carmack shows better
than anything else the weakness of the
Cox cause. 1t shows also that most of
the governors friends are ready to sac
rifce him in order to save themselves.
Especially is this true Of the peniten-
tiary ring. That crowd is all for Car
mack.
In the meantime the true friends OF
the senator are doing what they can tC
discourage the efforts of the Coxites.
They love the senator too we'll to want
to see him made cats paw of John Ii
+ discredted crowd. Besides, they say
= Senator Carmack is now in no mood t.
2 come forward as savior of party the
! majority of which declined to indors'
his senatorial record by giving him
, second term.
q In the meantime Gen. Patterson
I supporters in this section are con6den
1 of his nomination in May and his cleo
q ton in November.
r In his paper, the Franklin Review
!. Appeal, Geo. H. Armistead, late cam
paign manager for Senator Carmack
will say tomorrow:
q Senator Carmack is in no sense
q candidate for the nomination for gov
j. ernor. He does not want it, and he ha
o made the fact known in the most Ger
" tain manner. The use of his name il

MAKE TRIP OF INSPECTION
Utah Lake Commission Finds Waters
of Utah Lake Lower Than
Last Year.

Provo, May 1s.-Messrs. A. F. Doremus
and O. P. Miller, Salt Lake county men,
bers Of the Utah Lake commission; J. B.
Miner and Lorenzo Argyle Utah county
members, and George c. Lambert, secre-
Jdry, visited the Utah lake today on a
trip of inspection TO determine whether
the water level demanded action by the
commission in the regulation of the flow
ana increase the discharge at the outlet
through the Jordan dam. 1t was decided
that no immediate action is necessary
The commission did not have instruments
along 10 take an exact measur ement, and
the judgment Of different members did
not agree Judge Miner, who was asked
about the lake level, Cemurred to giving
the estimates made for the reason that
they did not agree. The lake is not yet
as high as the point reached last year.
The late spring and the cold spells have
held the water back, that is the snow in
the mountains has not melted as rapidly
as II would with warmer weather. The
warm weather which is now setting in is
causing a rapid rise in the streams feed
ing the lake, and il is the opinion of
men acquainted with the lake and the
water Level that 1t VIII be much higher
than last year.
