Patterson Triumphs.


1t is most gratifying to note that
Gen. Patterson's campaign is not only
arousing the liveliest kind Of enthusi-
asm, but is also Welding Tennessee
Democracy into o harmonious and
soil mass. His trip thus far has been
succession of triumphs. From his
opening speech in Nashville to his Sat-
urday night oration in Centreville his
tour has been one grand success. He
has faced the people of Davidson, Ches-
ter, Hardin, McNairy and Madison,
also the citizens of Waverly and Dick.
son, and has won from them O high
degree of respect and admiration,
while inspiring in them splendid
party enthusiasm and boundless con-
fidence, not only in his ability, but in
the successful termination of his battle
with the enemy.
While his opponent preambulates the
state Offering to unite the bsndages
from the alleged sore tore, hoping
thereby to win compassion that might
induce the beholder to drop into his
extended tin cup the charity of ballot,
Gen. Patterson is busily engaged with
the important issues of the day. v lille
Mr.. Evans is forced to devote time and
adrolt lodging to an explanation of his
position upon the infamous Force bill,
Gen Patterson Is Offering the people
home rule and the purity of the ballot.
The result is easily predicted. The one
is on the run, stopping long enough
only to show a self-inflicted wound
and beg aims; the other marches with
high assurance, bringing gifts with
him, Tennesseeans can take their
choice, but that Gen. Patterson is an
easy winner is foregone conclusion,
against which republicans will struggle
in vain.
In the beginning Of the campaign
there was disposition upon the part
of certain low flung enemies of the
democratic nominee to give voice to
ISLANDERS against his personal charac-
ter. But Gen. Patterson's manly atti.
tude toward these slanderers, his re.
fusal to dignity them by specific
refutation, yet his promise to his party
to give honorable account of himself
should any leader of note among his
political enemies attempt to make cap
ital of the falsehoods, has put an end
to this vile work and lifted the cam
paign from the mire into which these
miscreants would have plunged it.
In Justice to the republicans we fee
called on to say that we believe th'
real leaders of that party in this state
are as much pleased because OF the ces
sation of the slanderous personal at
tacks upon Gen. Patterson as the dem
ocrats can be. Bolh political parties il
the Tenth congressional distIict know
that Gen. Patterson is peer to any 9th

sonsl standing is concerned, and thi
knowledge has been disseminated unit
it is now thoroughly recognized
throughout Tennessee. The result i

In all the various election contests
