GIFTED ORATORS TO TAKE STUMP.
Gov. Taylor and Gen. Hannah to Speak
Jointly Bryan Will Speak in Nash
vile and Memphis During Lat
ter Part of September.


Taylor and Hannah will make q
strong campaign team.
The people of Tennessee will enjoy q
rare political treat when these two gift
ed orators take the stump in the inter
ests of the democratic nominees, and
the announcement that these gentlemen
will probably be heard together during
the coming campaign, which will be
carried on with so much earnestness
between now and the date for the No
vember election, will be received with
much interest throughout the entire
state.
The probability is that x-Gov. R. L.
Taylor, democratic nominee for United
States senator, and Gen. Harvey II.
Hannah, democratic nominee for rail-
road commissioner from East Tennes-
see, will stump the state in the interest
OF the democratic ticket together. They
will probably start out about the mid
die OF the present month, but no APP
pointments have yet been made for
their appearance. Gen. Hannah stated
this morning that it is his purpose to
take the stump about the time indicat-
ed, and he will remain actively engag-
ed in the campaign until the time for
the November election. Gov. Taylor
and Gen. Hannah will make q strong
team, and it is certain that they will be
greeted with large crowds wherever
they 60.
William J. Bryan will speak in Nash
vile and Memphis during the latter
part Of the present month. The exact
dates have not yet been announced.
The statement recently appeared in
the Banner to the effect that Mr.. Bryan
would come to Nashville during this
month, but it was not then known what
time he would probably make his visit
here. The information that Mr.. Bryan
will come to Nashville and also go to
Memphis during the latter part of Sep
tember was telegraphed to Chairman
II. B. Morrow of the state democratic
executive committee from New York
city by J. M. Head, former mayor of
Nashville. This dispatch was received
by Mr.. Morrow this morning. Mr.. Head
stated in his telegram that he had writ
ten full particulars by mail and Chair
man Morrow expects to receive his let
ter tomorrow morning at the latest.
II is certain that Mr.. Bryan will be
accorded an ovation when he comes to
Tennessee and elaborate preparations
will be made for the entertainment of
the distinguished Nebraskan.
Gen. NJ. r. Patterson, democratic
nominee for governor of Tennessee,
will probably reach Nashville some
time-within the next week, it being ex-
pected that he will come from the 9Th
to the 10th instant. At that time the
exact date for opening the democratic
gubernatoral campaign will probably
be decided upon. It is likely that Gen.
Patterson will deliver his initial speech
of the campaign about September Is.
He has been making preliminary prep
a-ations for his first speech during the
past two weeks and will be ready to
pay his respects to the enemy and dis
cuss matters of state in due time.
Hon. H. Clay Evans, the republican
nominee for governor, will, as previ-
ously stated, begin his campaign next
Monday, September 10, speaking first
at Lawrenceburg in Lawrence county.
While the places and exact dates for
his other speeches Immediately follow
ing his initial appearance at Lawrence
burg, have not yet been announced, il
is stated that he will spend all of next
