is THAT ALL?

"Phelim" makes the following OBJ
servations in the Herald and Tribune.
He seems to have forgotten the fate OF
'Dear Artie," and is in line to hear
from BrOwnlow:
It appears the Pattersonites tied their
cans to the governors tail and headed
him for the tall timber.
ANY East Tennessee republican who
does not rejoice over the defeat of John
Isaac Cox for nomination is not to be
called republican. II is remembered
that Gov. Cox was the real daddy Of
the Sniquitous apportionment bill thai
robbed East Tennessee Of her consti
tutional representation in the legisla
ture. He is one Of the greatest dema
gogues and political thieves within the
confines Of the state.
Gov. Cox certainly has a very sore
toe, but whether he will nurse and ex
hibit it to the detriment of the demo
cratic party remains to be seen.
John Isaac can now 60 home and en-
ter the field for state senator, repre-
sentative, constable or school director
Just any old place where a vacancy il
to be filed He is laid on the coolins
board so far as an Office of much impor
lance is concerned.
Two political rings have been recent,
smashed in Tennessee. How long will
it be till others are formed to fill thu
vacancies? It is hoped, however, the.
will not become so rotten and thievins
as their predecessors.
Patterson will get more votes thar
Gov. Cox would have gotten, but at tn,
same time he will be easier defeated
What sensible person believes fai
and honest election would have BEEF
held with the thieEing gang behin'
the governor ? Anyone believing hon
esty, decency and fairness would pre-
vail is a fit subject for the lnnatic asy
lum.

The herd of deer from the celebrated
Belle Meade farm, near Nashville, is
now the property of the people of Ten
nessee They are gradually leaving
their old home and scattering through
the hills and valleys. 1t is the duty of
every good citizen to see that they are
protected. The following from State
Warden Acklen will be of interest:
"The open season October 1st to
October 15th) when deer could be killed
was amended last year by making a
closed season until October 1st, 1907
The fine for killing or injuring deer
is $4,000, with possible Jail sentence
of three months, Anyone violating this
law will be violating this law will be
vigorously prosecuted, and one-half of
the fine of $4,000 will go to the inform
err The game of the state belongs to
the people of the state, and it is nv
duty to protect it for their use and ben
eft. I call upon all our people to aid
me protecting the deer.

Without attempting to detract from
the many able floor leaders Of the sew
eral candidates in the recent conven-
ton it should be stated in simple JUS
tice that Hon. Morgan Fitzpatrick was
the greatest of them all. He is not on
ly one of the most scholarly men in the
state, with pleasing voice, but he is
perhaps the most skilled parliamenta-
rian in Tennessee, and the fact that he
was present as leader of the Patterson
forces made that vast majority feel per.
fectly safe. They knew that they could
not be defeated in parliamentary
skirmish with Morgan at the front and
when his good old right hand was held
aloft to raise point of order the con-
vention knew instinctively that a
wrong was to be right. Tennesseans
will gladly welcome the day when Mr..
Fitzpatrick re-enters politics Sor' the
good he is capable of doing.

demonium followed.
While the committee was away to es-
cort Mr.. Patterson to the hall x.Gov.
McMillin gave the waiting crowd a
rousing democratic speech When the
committee and chosen candidate arriv-
ed the house again went wild and it
was some time before order could be
restored.
Mr. Patterson's speech of acceptance
was brief and to the point, was well.
tempered and was free from any sug-
gestion of acrimony and filled with
good feeling and good fellowship for
all democrats. 1t has been highly com.
plimented. At its conclusion the up.
roar was like that of national conven.
ton. Delegates and visitors formed in
flying wedges and rushed upon him tC
shake hands, and finally lifted him up
on table, where he was forced to hold
a levee for some minutes. The flags Of
the delegation clustered around hin
and the excitement was overwhelming
Finally he escaped, when the conven
ton continued its business.
Mr.. Patterson has held up remarka
bly, we'll, and although hoarse, is il
good fighting trim.
The comet. (Johnson City, Tenn.) 1884-1916, 1906-06-07

Mr.. Patterson's victory is a result of
his brilliant canvass of the state. For
many reasons / favored third candi-
date, but if the enthusiasm of his sup
porters is any evidence Mr.. Patterson
is a man who has many strong quail
ties and is fully able to cope with his
republican opponent. The result is
unquestionably reflection OF the sem
timent of the state democracy, and con
sequently the ticket will prove strong
despite the convention feeling. -

blage of the brave men aud loyal dem.
ocratS of Tennessee. The commission
you have placed in my hands represents
your confidence in my fidelity to the
principles of the democratic party.
Woven in the very fabric of our
government, vital, inherent, as pervad-
ing as the air We breathe, is the right
OF the people to rule. | have conducted
my campaign with this as the para.
mount idea, and your Endorsement to-
night is the browning glory of my life
The rule of the majority must be adj

people and all power must return to the
people.
The contest has been long and tedi-
Gus and stubbornly contested at every
point. Speaking for myself, | have
tried to conduct my campaign upon a
high and honorable plane. In anything

feeling, and the personal element has
not entered into my fight If my party
had placed the standard in the hands

malice toward those who have opposed
me.

when the banner is unfurled and the

commenced, they will do their duty in

or flowed, who have been so faithful
and so unselfsb, I can never express

Indianapolis, Ind, June 5.-That
unusual interest is being taken in the
Indiana democratic convention, which
convenes here Thursday, is shown by
the early arrival of large number Of
the leaders.
An effort will be made by the friends
of W. J. Bryan to have the convention
declare in his fovor, and it is freely as
serted by the advance guard that this
action will be taken. Bryan sentiment
is outspoken among the delegates to-
night.

Hon James G. Bradford is not only
one of the biggest lawyers in Tennessee
but lie il now one of the most admired
men in the state. AS temporary chair
man of the recent convention he made
an enviable reputation for himself. His
rulings we're not only fair but we're SO
clearly aud logically stated that they
we're easily followed to a conclusion in
which all agreed to be just and right,
It was soon observed that he cared
more for his reputation as an honest
man than he did for the ambition o.
either candidate for Office. It is sncl
men only that chairmen should bI
chosen and then justice will be DONE

Tennessee's Flend Of nrnlnrl

" The people of Tennessee this year
have listened to the greatest Aood uf
oratory they have heard in thirty years, 80
said former Tennessean today, "aud
now that they have named their full
state ticket they are going to hear Il
still greater amount of high class spell
binding, First, there was the six
months campaign for United States SON
ator between Carmack aud Taylor, aud
whatever may he said of Taylor's 6t-
ness for the senate, 1t can not be denied
that he is one of the greatest stump
speakers in the country. While Car
mack is not an orator, his eloquence,
dash and striking language make him
au exceedingly effective speaker. Then
came Ham Patterson's' brilliant tour
OF the state as competitor of Gov.
John |, Cox. The latter is no speaker
at all, and man of mediocre talents.
but Patterson can speak well enough
for half dozen men. | have heard all
Tennessee's orators for the past twenty
years and | do not hesitate to declare
Malcolm Patterson the foremost orator
of the state, the superior of Bob Tay-
lor, and the most effective man before
the people since Andrew Johnson. He
is brilliant thinker, fine logician
made so by wears of experience as fin
ished lawyer, eloquent and possessing
a most wonderful command of Lam
guage; not word painter, not a mere
top water, as we would say, but simp-~
ly finished orator in the highest
sense? He has the fire of inspired ge.
MUS, and all the grace and sway of one
, born to delight audiences.
"In addition to Patterson and Bob
Taylor on the stump, for they will both
tour the state, there is Harvey Hannah,
nominee for railroad commissioner. He
3 also is fine orator and is the favorite
speaker of many Tennesseans. He is a
young democrat from East Tennessee
; and is at present adjutant- general of
the state He attracted attention in
1900 by almost defeating ex-Congress-
r man Henry II. Gibson, of the Knoxville
district, which has a normal majority
of 10000 to $1,000 votes. Here is an
e other thing you can watch: Those dem
= Gratis of Tennessee who have been fig
uring on Senator Frazer's success or
had better figure Patterson in. After
he serves four years as governor he is
going to have a tremendous hold on
: the people of the state. | recall an in
cident in Ham Patterson's career ut
Vanderbilt which is of special interest
Just now. He was q participant in an
Oratorical contest, but it seems the
a judges didn't give him square deal, ;
i and gave the prize to one of his oppo-
!, nents. The students of the university
r were so indignant at what they thought
J. was an injustice to Patterson that they
h took up collection and presented him
. with a gold medal themselves. Dir
