After being utterly routed by the
people, losing the popular vote, the
delegated vote and the majority of the
counties, the Carmack bunch wants to
write the platform and manage Patter-
sons campaign A more vicious and
undemocratic plot was never conceived
by any set of demagogues on earth.

The only reason more democrats vot-
ed in the primary last Saturday than
ever votes in the election is that there
was more interest aroused and they
wanted to vote. There are over 800
democrats recorded in this district and
any doubling Thomas can be convinced
if he will look at the names.

In 1900 Washington county gave
Bryan 1896 and McMillin 1899 votes.
Since then johnson City has doubled
in population. Last Saturday 1876
democrats voted and one or two Car
mack nincompoops are crying fraud.
The Greeneville Democrat is moved to
remark that ., 900 Of the l, 300 democrats
of this county voted in the gubernsso-
rial primary as IL that were proof Of
fraud.

The old convention, with atwo-thirds
rule, is the best after all and should be
adopted as the only democratic method
of nominating candidates for Office.
With all counties acting upon the same

Carmack carried Maury county, his
home, by 81 votes over Patterson. In
the senatorial primary his majority
there was 450 over Bob Taylor. That

Carmack says the Patterson forces
have won a pyrrhic victory, which be-
ing construed seems to mean that the
Patterson people have won the first
dance, but Carmack evidently wants to
be waltzed around again.

The difficulty with the primary plan
was that under it Carmack would get
$4,000 popular majority and Patterson
the minority nomination by counties,
or that is the complaint Carmack and
his friends made every day of the cam
naipn.

people appear surprised because large

No democrat was DISTINGUISHED in
Washington county because he voted
for Brownlow. In the 18th district
several democrats would not agree to
support the nominee and did not vote.
That was the only question put to them
and that was at the suggestion of the
Carmack leaders.

Greeneville gave Patterson 54 major

No sane democrat will sanction the
attempt of the Carmack fellows to write
Patterson's platform or to embarrass

Popular MajOrities.

The table below is the most complete
estimate the Nashville Banner is yet
able to make on the popular majorities
by counties in the contest for governor
between Gov. Patterson and Senator
Carmack, democratic candidates. In
many counties the returns are not COM

given are based on the most authentic
estimates obtainable by the Banner
correspondents:

A DEM0ORAT7C APPEAL.

Every Democratic member OF the House
Of Representatives signed petition TO the
Speaker requesting him to recognize some
member TO move to discharge the Committee
on Ways and Means from the further con.
sideration OF, and TO suspend the rules, and
to pass the Stevens bill, or any other bill,
having the effect to put wood pulp and
print paper on the free list. John Sharp
Williams, the Democratic leader OF the
House, goaded the Republican leaders to
fury by beseeching 30 Republicans, at least,
TO come forward and add their signatures TO
the petition. He called on those who had
introduced bills for free printSpaper TO
sign, but not one came forward, hot even
those who had made speeches in favor of
such measure. Mr.. Williams made his
request for action facetiously, he knew no
Republican would come forward to the
mourners' bench, and repudlatc the hide
bound partisanship that hangs like a pail
over the deliberations OF this Congress. He
told them that
awhile the lamp holds out to burn,
The vilest sinner may return"
And adds, III you have lately been, or ex-
pect TO be, in any manner bull dozed or
boss-ridden, why, think for second; think
what short life we live here and how me-
cessary it is that we should do things"
But Mr.. Williams exhortation fell upon
standpat ears, and not one Republican sin
ner of them came forward to show that he
really was for even this small measure o.
tariff reform, even to curb trust that il
plundering every newspaper publisher in
the United States.
How can the voters expect that "altel
election" Republican Congressman will b'
any more willing to undertake the greater
task of tackling hundreds of trusts which
are protected by the tariff when they
refuse to take the tariff pap from this nlan
that is eating up the substance Of newspa
per propretors. Every Republican Con
gresham is now on record as either opposed
TO tariff reform or afraid to disObey the or
ders of the standpat leaders who are wed
ded TO their alliance with those trust mag
mates who furnish the main part oil the cam
paign funds that keep the Republican part,
in power. Turn the rascals out and cleo
Democrats il you desire reform.

RAYNER OPENS ERE.

resolution Of Monday calling for court of
inquiry in the case OF Col. VIM. f. Stewart,
of the Coast Artillery Corps, who has been
exiled to Fort Grant, in the wilds Of Arizona
The galleries were crowded, and at the
conclusion Of the speech Senator Rayncr was
vigorously applauded. Nearly all the Sena
tors were present, and they heard the argu-
ment OF the Maryland Senator with intense
interest. Mr.. Rayner spoke for nearly two
hours. When he had concluded he was
congratulated by leading men on both sides
of the aisle. The best lawyers in the Senate
uphold his exposition of the line Of demarca-
ton between the powers of the President as
commander-in-chief OF the army and those
of Congress for the government Of the army
by law.
At the conclusion Of his remarks Senator
Rayner sent to the clerks desk the letter
which President Roosevelt wrote several

art and civilian when Colonel Stewart was
located at Fort Williams, Maine, in which

be was at Pensacola, Fla, In which the en-
gineer desired 10 use the Government bar
racks for certain purposes on the eve of his
daughters marriage, and Colonel Stewart
being strict disciplinarian, denied him thai
