1.-THE election Of all our nominees
demonstrates the fact that Tennessee
is safe democratic state. The plat
form and the candidates of the democ-
racy are thoroughly democratic. The
cause was fairly submitted to the peo-
pie, and the people responded with the
handsome majority which was given.
The usual cry of fraud cannot now be
raised, for it is we'll known that in
many places the democrats were not
given the representation upon election
commissions to which they were en-
titled under the law, Our effort was to
accomplish the result by a straightfor-
ward appeal to the people and re-
lliance upon their patriotism. The re-
suit has more than justified our course.
congratulate the people Of Tennessee
that they have elected their governor
on his own merits and the principles
for which he boldly fought. He will
cutter the office to which he has been
elected unembbarrassed by any alli-
ance or promises. This victory means
that the people have been heard and
that Mr.. Patterson will be governor in
the fullest and hight meaning of the
term.

the state management, as we'll as the

When the last returns had come in

about-faced, struck a proud attitude,
