Tennessee bred two great orators In
the olden days-Andrew Johnson, a
Democrat, once president Of the
United States, and Gustavus A. Henry
a Whig, known as the eagle orator
OF the South"
They ran against each other for
governor and when long series OF
Joint debates had reached its close
Johnson addressed the Wings in the
audience: Il have spoken with the
boasted eagle orator from the Missis'
sipui river to the Unaka mountains,

WATERSON ON THE RESULT.


''The result of Tuesdays election shows
conclusively that a great majority Of the
people Of the controlling section Of the
Union are well content with things as they
are: that il is better to endure the con-
ceded shortcomings of the party in power
than to embark upon an unknown sea OF
continuous agitation; that Bryan meant
this whilst Taft meant that; in short, that
dollar though tainted, is worth bush
full of patriotic distractions.
''The idiosyncrasy Of the time is
commerce. AS in the last century it was
liberty reaching out after institutional
freedom. and measurably attaining tit

kets. The average voter Of better educa-
tion and intelligence takes no thought Of
