BrOwnlOw a Trihe Late.

Walt. Brownlow is foxy politician,
but it begins to be apparent that he
has overrlayed his hand in Tennessee
Tpolitics.
Still, Walt. fights to the end, and is
real Richelieuesque in his methods.
Early in the game of this season the
the Brownlow roar was easily heard
from his hills in the east, even to this
great city in the west. He opened his
mouth and forth came a voice that
caused East Tennessee republicans to
be seated in the high places Of this
western city
Again he spoke and fastened the lid
on "Dear Artie's" paper, shutting it
off from all natural remarks about one
John I. Cox, amphibious democrat and
accidental governor Of Tennessee.
Once more Walt. P. uttered his roar,
and behold Asbury Wright danced upon
the political stage and, because of
Brownlow,, was accepted by republi-
cans, though not one in thousand had
ever heard of the complaisant Mr..
Wright.
This was when Walt. was enacting
the role of the lion, but Fl. Clay Evans
drew his trusty sword and started out
to have the head of the boss, then, a la
Richelieu, Walt. p took in his voice
and gave an exhibition of Master Rey-
nard in all of his astuteness.
For week or more reports from
Washington have shown us the gallant
BrownlOw disputing the possession of
Tennessee, from republican point of
view, against all comers. Postmaster
General Cortelyou, as national chair
man of the party, was reported as going
down before this mighty man of Ten
nessee to argue with him. OF course
Mr.. Cortelyou got the worst of it and
was sent back with O flea in his ear.
| Next, we find President Roosevelt
undertaking to dip into Tennessee poll
tics to the end that matters might bt
arranged between Brownlow and Evans
but even the president as good as ad
mitted failure to placate the Boss
sometimes called Easy; for when mex
we hear from Washington the presiden
and the postmaster general have joined
forces to persuade the formidable
Brownlow. And the two combined
are credited with having succeeded.
Our dispatches say that Brownlov
consents to withdraw Wright in favo
of Evans, provided he continues il
control of the central committee. This
at the instance of Postmaster Genera
, Cortelyou and President Roosevelt
, pleading with him for republican har
mony in Tennessee.
Truly this picture presents Cox
, friend, Brownlow, in an imposing
light. But alas! for the boss pre-
tensions. The republicans Of Tennes
see decided for Evans before Brown
low is reported as yielding to the presi
Dental influence. His foxy concession
, to these mighty forces comes tor
late, and we are prone to think tina
the day of his bossism in Tennessee
about to close for good. -Oommgoe: cia

by Carmack.
1t is perfectly true and legitimate tC
to say that Carmack's legislative career
is barren of results. His most ardent
supporters and those who herald his
brilliancy must make this humiliating
confession. Not q law of general ben
efcence bears his name. AS a construc-
tive statesman he is a decided failure.
II he should retire to private life today
the political world would be left pretty
much as he found 1t.
l have consumed eleven pages to give
you my impression of the speech. /
tried to give the man q fair hearing,
but the misleading and unfair con-
struction he put on certain matters
made me warm at times. He is desper-
ate. He is fighting for political life,
and he does not hesitate to use any
weapon that promises service. Then,
back of it all, is the most intense ego
tism, which causes him to say silly
things. RoBT. L. PATTON.

Cox Smells Nothing.

The democrats Of Tennessee want
the real thing in their governor. The
present incumbent is not the real thing.
His prominence in East Tennessee pol
itics is largely due to the republican
boss of the state, He is a man of no
particular ability except as political
wire-worker. He became governor by
an accident, and before that he had
been rather busy tax-eater and had
held the imposing Office of state leg
islator at a salary of $4 per day, which,
by the way, was all he was worth.
Gov. Cox is now running for govern
or on platform made out of thin air.
He represents nothing in the way oI
political principle. He has not defined
his position on any vital issue before
the people. Where he does discuss 6
