phis as he had received against Tay-
Tor. But I don't say there vas fraud
in that contest, or if there was, that
Col. Patterson vas responsible for IL,
said the senator. In fact, won't
believe Col. Patterson was responsi-
be for the fraud Il there was any, nor
an ! responsible for fraud in the sena-
tOriel primary two years ago il there
v-s any. any more than Governor
Patterson was responsible for the bal
lat box being stuffed for him at White
willie when he was running against
Cox"
No Kick From Sob Taylor.
He said Bob Taylor had not corr
planned about this senatorial primary,
and he didn't believe Bob had depu-
tized the governor to complain for
him. Re quoted Senator Taylor's de-
nunciation of the bogus primary and
declared. Bob is a better friend Of
-1.re than he is yours" turning to the
governor, and will fight side by side
for direct primaries in the future
while you fight against them"
Where are YOU Charley" yelled a
number, but Charley had subsidized not
to rise again.
The senator also drove the COVER
nor into an uncomfortable position on
the Pendleton bill. He quoted the
governors assertion that the Pendle-
ton bill had nothing to do with the
abolition of saloons and finally forced
him to admit that if the Pendleton
bill had not been passed the abolition
of a charter followed BY reincorpora-
ton would not have driven single
saloon from the state. The governor S
admission was as usual, not direct.
He simply said that might possibly
have had the effect, but go ahead and
make your speech"
In his rejoinder Senator Carmack
aroused a great enthusiasm and there
were continuous cries, put him in his
! coffin" referring to the governors re-
marks about the Roark case, and the
governors insinuation that the sena-
tor did not refer TO it in his main
speech because this is Roark's home.
Touches Roark Case.
Senator Carmack said: 81 did not
refer to Roark because friend OF
mine came to me this morning and
said one of Governor Patterson's
friends had asked him to see me and
ask me not to refer to the case today
but since Governor Patterson has
brought the matter up / will say now
that did criticise the governor FOL
hardening Roark, and l have no apol
ogv to offer to any living man fol
what said. Governor Patterson's in
situation that l was afraid to bring
m the Roark case because Roark lives
here. was uncalled for"
Roark is the man who stole nos
that died of cholera and sold 1t TO
live meat and after he had been con
yicted and pardoned, he came hom'
and stole a live hog and sold 1t. Hi
are good people, and it was for hi
family's sake that the Patterson pee
pie themselves did not want the cas-
referred to here"
Governors Usual Speech.
The governor made his usual speech
bringing out nothing new except tina
he again appealed to the senator I
keen his fathers name out of this col
test. but Senator Carmack, in his re
= toinder, replied that as long as tn
. governor continued reading the She
, by county senatorial election return
and charging fraud therein, he woui
continue to read the returns OF tn
, primary of 1894, and show that tn
p governors father got as big ma1or1t
3 in certain wards in Memphis as
O (the senator) received.
