doubt of the result.
The impending campaign will be a
plight of the temperance people against
the whiskey ring. The statement
made here last night by the Chatta-
|nooga whiskey dealer indicates 1t.
Whether 1t will be the last and final
struggle between these forces In this
|corruptlon-ridden state rests with the
temperance people themselves. They
|hold the balance of power; they will
nominate the next Governor of Ten
nessee. Senator Carmack declared
Pt Memphis in his campaign for the
senate last year that the whiskey ring
pr the state had boosted that 1t I'm
Fended to defeat him--a boast that the
ring was able to make good--but Sen,
Ptor Carmack also declared that In
fase the ring should encompass his
pefeat, he fntendeu to- do all IN hfs
power to make It the last time the
Fhiskey interests should ever defeat
man for public Office in Tennessee.
Fhe time has come when Senator Car
mack is called upon to make good his
'tatement; whether he fwfll do 1t or

emperance people whose flag he car
led last year. ff4

still cause much complaint, especially in
regard to grain. RetaiI stocks of win

pleted during the period of low tempera-
ture, and the new season will open under
favorable auspices.
Wholesale and jobbing houses report a
liberal spring demand, particularly in
dry goods, while at the interior there
is a vigorous movement of agricultural
implements and other farm supplies. A
gratifying feature of many reports Is
the greater promptness of mercantile col
lections. Mills and factories have so much
forward business that new contracts are
not taken except at full figures, and
there is dissatisfaction because shipments
are not more prompt Wages have been
advanced in several important concerns
and there are no serious labor contro-
VERSES.
Iron and steel producers are receiving
much new business contracts covering
deliveries still further into the future,
many lines being sold up to the last
quarter of the year. Orders are most
pressing for pipes and tubes, In which
the demand is far beyond all precedent.
