Mr.. Brownlow is awfully frightened

the anti. Brownlow democrats also, and

enough to believe that if Cy should run
it would give him all the democrats

toned in that document, which ought
to be enough to show there was no
such intention as The News charges.
That there was any intentional omis-
sion of an endorsement of Mr.. Bryan
we deny, and that Mr.. Patterson or his
close friends are opposed to him now
there is no evidence, and The News
should not be guilty of underhand
thrusts at the democratic candidate for

of large majority of the democrats of
the state, and one whom we believe is
worththy choice in every respect.

ALI Taylor declares that he is in the
race in the First district to stay until
the polls are closed in November. His
convention nominated him beforeEvans
was nominated, and he has as much
chance to be elected as Mr.. Evans has.
Why should he be withdrawn? Mr..
Brownlow wants him to get off the
track, Mr.. Evans wants him to stay on
and defeat Brownlow if he can, with
out injuring him. But if it develops
that Taylor's race will have only the
effect of iniurlng Evans the latter
would probably favor his withdrawal.
But no argument in favor of Taylor
withdrawal can appeal to that gentle
man. He does not believe Evans will
be elected, and he has no idea of with,
drawing from the race for congress in
favor of Evans. 1t is announced that
Brownlow will soon turn looss a hot
speech in which he will review Taylor
record. The latter cannot withdraw in
the face of that. He cannot withdraw

There may have been few-a com
paratively few Patterson men who
would have refused to support Gov.
Cox if he had been nominated, but the
vast majority OF them would have given
him loyal support. Should not the
Cox men who are complaining be
equally as loyal? In this country the
majority rules, and while Its actions
are sometimes rather hard to accept, it
is best for the party that they be ac-
copied. So far as The American is con-

Our Next Governor.

Gen. Patterson's bereavement has OF
course made it impossible for him to
make the aggressive campaign for gov
crnor that he had planned to make.
Wounded in the most sensitive part Of
his nature, ambition no lonuer calls
him with potency to the field. In such
an emergency, therefore, the demo-
Graz leaders of the stete should take
t. snrden of the campaign from him,
and 10 battle for the democratic prin.
ciples.
e. Clay Evans. the republican can
didate for governor, is a politician Of
many resources. He will omit no Of
fort to win the victory. Heis playing
for larger stakes in the future. He is
not contending so much for the well
aare OF Tennessee as he is for his own
advancement. His election would mean
Rothing for Tennessee. It would mean
GHGch for himself. II is entirely be.
snd the range OF probabilities that a
republican legislature would be elect
ed, and he could do nothing except
stand in the way Of realization of
thoss reforms to which the democratic
party is pledged. he would, of course,
appoint two republican commissioners
of registration iu every county in she
state, and he would veto any legisla-
tion passed that might change the
present election law. This would ne
cessitate the passage of such legisla-
ton over his veto, something that ii
might not be possible to accomplish.
But if Mr.. Evans were elected gov
ernor of Tennessee, it would have an
important bearing on his political fu-
ture. 1t would make him an imposing
figure in his party, and he might even
become its candidate for vice-presi.
dent, or step even into the cabinet.
Tennessee does not want Mr.. Evans
in the gubernatorial chair. The facI
that he may have been wrongfully
elected therefrom ten or twelve years
ago is no real argument for his cleo
tion now. tien. Patterson was in nc
way concerned in that transaction anG

With all due respect for the News,

stand for the one thing or the other, for

We happen to be acquainted with the
facts regarding Mr.. Bryan and the
platform Of the state convention. In
the first place, Mr.. Bryan was not ig-

in the convention caused an outburst

ed to any name except that of Ten
nessean-ap applause accorded at the only
time practically when any considera-
ton was given to any subject outside
that of the contest for the contest for
the governorship or railroad commits
sioner.
The editor of the News was not at the

facts we'll enough not to seek to put a
construction on events which are un.
justified. For four days that conven-
tion paid no attention to anything bui

thing except the choice of a candidate
for governor and for railroad commits

No national issues were discussed.
No attention was paid to candidates fol

to the framing of platform. The com
mittee to frame the platform was nam
ed in the dying throes of the conven

For the purpose of securing an adj

to point near Pennington Gap, where
they began surveying the line and

The purpose of the L. & N. is to Sc

The two roads have already spent a
