BISHOP DUNCAN,

When the great soul of Bishop w
w. Duncan, Of the Methodist Episco
pal Church; South, left its mortal
frame and went to join the hosts OF
the church triumphant, one OF the
noblest soldiers OF the Divine Master
ended his earthly toll and went to
eternal rest. In his death the Metho-
dist Church in particular and the en-
tire church militant sustains loss that
will be almost irreparable While the
poor health of the venerable Bishop
for some time past has in a measure
prepared the church for the worst
news, the report of his death was
nevertheless distinct shock to all
Southern Methodism.
For more than half century Bishop
Duncan has been in the itinerant min
istry of the Methodist church Like
all the other great leaders of that
remarkable denomination he began
at the bottom. His high honors came
of the conviction OF his fellow work
ers that he was worthy to serve In
the highest places In his church.
Bishop Duncan never knew nor did
he attempt to learn. The arts and

CONDEMNED ON ALL SIDES.

The action of the state democratic
executive committee, which convened
in Nashville last week to devise a
plan for nominating candidates for
governor and other state Offices, in
denying the people general primary
is being condemned on all sides. The
bogus primary Is disappointment to
every democrat whose judgment is
not warped by partisan bias. The
plan was devised not in the interest
of the party, but along partisan lines
in the interest Of Governor Patterson.
who dominated and controlled the
committee. Had Governor Patterson
willed it, the committee would have
called a general primary. The re-
fusal of the governors friends to heed
the demand for a general primary is
an acknowledgement of the weakness
OF their candidate with the people

VOICE OF The PEOPLE.

Those who predicted that the action
of the State Democratic Committee in
refusing the expressed desire of the
overwhelming majority of the party
for direct primary, would raise a
storm of protest from one end of the
State to the other, now know correctly
they guaged public sentiment. From
every section Of the State comes the
report that the people are outraged
and indignant. 1t has now been near
Iy two weeks since the committee,
enjoying a little brief authority, de-
cided that it and not the people, were
to be the master of the Democratic
party Of Tennessee. During that time
any angry passions. pique or disap-
Dointment, have had abundant oppor-
tunity to be dissipatei. Had there
been no real, deep-seated, tangible
reason for the indignation Of the peo-
pie. this would have been the result.
However, the further away from the
Committees meeting the people get;
the more opportunity they have to
digest and understand the nefarious
schemes these political highwaymen
attempted to perpetrate, the more in
tense grows their indignation and the
more determined they have become in
their high resolve to end once and for
all time machine rule in Tennessee.
The people were never more in
earnest, never more determined upon
the course to pursue than they are in
this crisis. They are behaving them
selves as becomes true sons of the
old Volunteer State.
1t was too much to expect men cast
in the mold that Tennesseans were
created to sit supinely by and permit
this attempt to take from them their
blood bought liberties to pass with
out a protest. The action taken by
the mass meeting of the Democrats
of Maury county and of the County
Democratic Executive Committee ON
Monday was natural and inevitable
sequence of the events which trans
pired at Nashville on February 20.
The action of the mass meeting and
the county committee will meet the
hearty approval of nine-tenths Of the
Democrats Of the county. These res
Clutions will meet hearty response
from the people of the county and are
q correct index of public sentiment.

"A straight vote in each county on
the same day for the candidates for
Governor is what the self-selected
friends OF the people call robbing
them of their rights says the Nash
Vile American. Not that at all. What
the people are complaining at is that
the committee has given to Ham Pat
terson, one OF the candidates for Gov.
ernor, the power to appoint all the
election officers for every voting pre-
cinct In Tennessee, and to a commit
tee of his choosing the right to count
the vote and declare the result. That
is an open, brazen attempt to rob the
people of their franchise and to steal
the election. But the people will re-
buke such machine methods by such
an overwhelming majority that the
conspirators win not be able to de-
liver their booty.

sEnrIMEnr IN DAVIDSON.

There has been a remarkable change
OF continent in the capital county OF
Tennessee these past two years
Nothing more forcibly demonstrates
this fact than the action of the Demo
cratic County Committee last Satur'
day In passing strong resolutions con
demnatory Of the course OF the State
Committee in refusing to call . direct
primary for Governor. The present
Committee OF Davidson county was
elected after Patterson was nomina-
ted. Only his partisans, except IN
rare instances, we're candidates. One
of his strongest champions In his first
race for Governor was James B.
Newman, the Chairman OF the Com
mittee.
When the Committee met last Sat
urday it developed, greatly to the sur
prise of the machine, that the Cover
nor's friends were very much in the
minority, the resolution offered by
one of Senator Carmack's strongest
supporters being adopted by q ma
jority of twenty-nine. An analysis
of the vote shows that with one or
two exceptions every ward that voted
for Patterson two years ago in his
race with Cox, supported the resolu-
tons of censure. OF the thirteen
country districts eleven were repre-
scented by Carmack supporters.
The vote received in behalf of the
Governors machine came almost al
together from the downtown wards,
where the liquor element is all pow
erful All Of the East Nashville, the
West Nashville and other residence
wards voted to condemn the State
Committees outrage. These wards,
be it remembered, carried the county
for Patterson two years ago and with
out which he could never have been
nominated.
This vote and reports received from
other but altogether reliable sources,
demonstrate beyond question that IN
the coming contest Patterson's sup
port in Davidson county will be con.
fined to the corporations and the
liquor and other special interests
whose activity in politics is always
prompted by a selfish desire to use
government for private ends. The
stalwart manhood OF the county is
arrayed against the Governor.

LONG SERVICE.

Senator William B. Allison was
seventy-ive years of age on Tuesday.
On Wednesday he had been q member
Of the Senate of the United States
for thirty-five years, his length of serv-
ice exceeding that of any member who
ever served in that august body. At
the close OF his present term ne will
have been a senator for thirty-six
years, and prior to his election to the
Senate he served in the House of
Representatives for eight years, be.
ing elected to Congress the first time
In 1864, and the total congressional
service will amount to forty-four
years.
Senator Allison will be seventy-six
years Of age at the expiration of his
term and he is a candidate for re-
election. 1t Is probable that his am
bition will be gratifed, although Gov.
Cummins, Of Iowa, cherishes an am
bition to hold his seat, Should Sem
ator Allison be given another term
and live until Its expiration in 1915,
he will have been a member OF Con.
gress for exactly half century, a
record without parallel in the his
tory OF this country. A few members
OF the English Parliament have served
more than half century, the great
William E, Gladstone being among
the number, but under the English
system. where a candidate can stand
for any seat he may elect, long service
is much easier than 1t is in this coun-
try.
Although Ave years beyond the al
lotted three score and ten. Senator
Allison is one of the most useful and
influential members Of the Senate.
He has played conspicuous part In |
shaping the legislation OF the country
for the past three decades. His ex-
perlence has been Of great value to 1
him. to his State and 10 the nation. I

expiration.

laws of God Almighty and to amend

Many Republicans now admit that

But the Republican party cannot es-
