Ho FOR NEW ORLEANS.

The old Con federate soldiers
were in town Monday dressed in
their uniforms, prepared for the
journey to New Orleans, where the
gates of that city will again open
to welcome them as they gather
in the city of white tents in gen.
eral reunion. On this occasion
they will again march to the soul
stirring strains of Dixie and the
songs of the South before the war;
they will sit around the camp and
recount the incidents of war, the
tales of victory and defeat. These
comrades who have survived the
hardships and the scars and wounds
of that bloody conflict waged forty
years ago will turn backward in
in their memory. Under the in
spring influence of reminiscent
story their forms will unbend, the
heart beat faster, the mind wax
brighter, and they will be boys
again.
Such is the occasion to which
these old heroes annually wend
their way. Each succeeding year
dimishes the line. The ranks are
thinning. One by one they drop
out, and who would dispute their
right to enjoy these reunions. A
few years and they will be known
only to history and legend; a few
years and the chivalry and cour-
age of the South will be an inspi-
ration to every American heart
from Maine to California and from
the lakes to the gulf; few years
and the glory Of the old Southland
will be as dear to the Yankee north
Of the Mason and Dixon line as it
is to the Yankees of Tennessee and
the South. We are all Yankees
now. The days of the cavalier
with his colonial mansion and
broad plantation are being re-
placed by the stsr Of industrial
empire, and we'll may 1t be so.
But the deeds of Southern valor,
as we'll as that of the North, will
be the theme of song and story
for many years to come. Genius
will weave garlands TO crown the
memory of heroes whose deeds OF
glory light up the old days, the
like of which will never be seen
again, and every American library
will contain these priceless vol
,,naas

Chattanooga Paper Starts Movement
for East Tennessean.

Chattanooga, Tenn, April D.
The Chattanooga Times prints a
review of the political situation
which says that movement is be-
ing started in various parts OF the
State to nominate Judge John A.
Moon, OF this city, for Governor, in
order to relieve the present crisis.
The review follows:
ut is believed in many quarters,
and the question has been one of
general comment, that neither Gov.
Cox nor Gen. Patterson could be
elected Governor on account of the
kind of fight that Gen. Patterson
has made for the nomination and
that it would be the best thing for
the Democratic party to pane a
man who has not taken any side in
the contest but who is of such rec
ognized value and character that
he would be gladly accepted by
Democrats OF all factions as their
leader.
PATTERSON WOULD WITHDRAW.
1.-THE statement is made that Gen.
Patterson has offered to withdraw
his claims for the nomination in
favor of some other candidate be-
sides Gov. Cox, but that he declares
if Gov. Cox insists on the nominal
ton, there are likely to be two con-
ventions held and there may be two
candidates in the field.
tOn his recent visit to this city,
Gov. Cox stated that he would be
able to control the organization of
the convention, and indicated that
he would be in the fight until the
end. 1t is known, however, that
Gov. Cox is aware of the deep feel
ing that has been caused by the
contest for the nomination, and
that he might be willing to with
draw under honorable conditions in
favor of an unquestionably strong
candidate"

ments we are trying to con6ne
ourselves strictly to the facts.
This in view of the claims that
both Taylor and Carmack will
carry the county. In Carmack's
audience were numbers of white
badges, and we presume there
were Carmack men here, in fact
we know a few who heard Taylor's
speech. This week we publish a
portion of Taylor's last speech in
Nashville. In this he defends
himself against some attacks made
by his opponent. The Dibrell in
cident brought out a document in
Mondays American over w. l..
Dibrell's signature declaring that
Taylor's statements are absolutely
false. Whether Dibrell wrote this
letter or not we don't know. Per-
haps he may have authorized some
statements to the Carmack mana
ger in Nashville. As Taylor says,
it is strange that Rip Val Wrinkle
DibrelI, the author of this declara-
ton, has been asleep for twenty
years, and the friends of Gen.
Dibrell in this county remember
nothing about it. Following is
Taylor's reply to Dibrell:
In reply to the attack of W. L. Dbl

quoted by me in my Nashville speech

The Nashville American the next day
after my nomination for Governor In

that made no effort for the nomina
tion, that was not even at the con-
vention, that advised my friends by
telegram not to press my name over
any other candidate for the nomina-
tion. The seven sons of Gen. Dibrell

 Two matters of great importance will be brought up for final action at the convention:
 IA law for the protection of min ing investors.
 "A law for the creation of mine drainage districts.
 The first will largely increase in vestments In mining enterprises by furnishing protection against abso- lute dishonesty in mining promotions, and thus bring about largely in- creased development of our mineral resources.
 The second will provide means for continued production in the many dis tricts where a common system of drainage is necessary to profitable op- erations.

OVERWHELMED THE POLICE.
Mad Rush of Depositers of Wrecked MIL waukee Avenue Bank to Get
 Their Money.

Chicago, Aug. 25.-Sixty policemen were overwhelmed Friday by mad rush of men and women who were determined to get the first money paid out of the vaults of the ruined Mill waukee Avenue bank. Receiver let ger had made arrangements to pay 20 per cent to 5000 of the 22.000 de- positors ard everybody was anxious to be among the 5000. At day break the crowds swarmed around the bank, and by 8 o'clock the bank was sur rounded by 15,00o people. Sixty po- licemen had been sent to the bank but they were unable to handle the crowd, the greater part of which was unable to understand the English ian guage. Forty mere officers were final ly sent to the bank and order was even then restored with difficulty. It seemed impossible to make the de- positors comprehend that although on- ly 5000 were to be paid Friday the others would be paid just as much within the next few days. At one time the crowd threatened to fairly storm the bank, as waving their pass books in the air they rushed for ttc doors shouting in Bohemian, Polish, Norwegian and Italian. The recciv- CT was all day raying the 5000 and will pay as many more Saturday.
