AVAILABLE CANDIDATES.

Supporters of Gov. Johnson, of Min
nesota, base their claims of recogni
ton for that candidate on the ground
of availability. Because he has twice
been elected governor of state that
it largely Republican his supporters
declare that he would be a stronger
candidate than Mr.. Bryan who did not
carry his own state in the last race
he made for the Presidency. Candi-
dates have frequently been nominated
by both political parties because they
were available" but it has seldom
developed that success for state Of
fee warranted the assertion that they
would be equally strong in National
campaign
Grover Cleveland who was unknown
outside OF Buffalo and Erie county
four years before his election as Pres.
ident, was nominated for President by
the Democrats in 1884 because he had
carried the great state of New York
two years before by plurality of
10000 But the subsequent election
demonstrated that Mr. Cleveland was
a much weaker candidate as the nom
nee for President than he was when
for Governor His plurality
was reduced from 1000 to beggar-
v LOO, and four years later he lost
he state by over $4,000. Local issues /

little doubt that hte President was

his party.
This same crew has been pernic-
iously active this year in bringing
about the nomination Of the War Sec
rotary. They appear to believe, and
doubtless with good reason, that Sec
rotary Taft will not only carry out
the policies of the Roosevelt admin
istration but will appoint the same
old Office holders to help him carry
out" that program.
Taft will be the nominee for Pres
ident but there is much room for
doubt as to whether or not his nomi-
nation will reflect the will of the rank
and file of his party. In every state

THE PEOPLE IGNORED.

The New York Sun. which has in
the past been a ribald partisan of the
Republican party and which is gen.
orally understood to be the official
mouthpiece of High Finance and Wall
street interests generally, laments
the fact that the people no longer
control and rule the Republican party
The Sun is bitterly opposed to the
nomination of Secretary Taft 1t is
anti-Roosevelt on every thing. The
President is its bette noir. He is
wholly bad and it's attacks upon him
have been more virulent than those
that appeared in any Democratic pa
per during the last campaign. 1t says
many things of the President that are
manifestly unjust and untrue.
Notwithstanding all these facts,
however the Sun stated a plain, I'M
vanished truth that is apparent to
any unprecedented and observing mind
when it declared that the people have
little to do with the affairs of the Re-
publican party Nothing is palmer |
than this, but the situation is not a |
new one. Complaint against the ac-
tivity of the office-holding brigade and
the bosses has been heard in the Re-
publican party these twenty years and
more. These charges do not differ
from those made in times past except
that they are more frequently made
and the volume of complaint is great
er than heretofore.
1t was the old Grant officeholding
brigade that was largely responsible
Tor his determination to make the
race for the third term in 1880, and
which resulted so disastrously to him.

! Aside from question of partisan
F.; advantage to either side, and it would
he difficult to see how either faction
could claim any benefit because Of
any place that might be selected FOR
the joint debate, it is to be regretted
that the Patterson Commute refused
the proposition to kold the discussion
in the city limits. 1t is unjust to the
people Of the city and the country to
have the debate at the fair grounds

has ever been able to make himself
heard there and the crowds which have
assembled there in the past to hea
speakings have been noisy and unruly

the Democrats had a disastrous expe
Renee with an available" candidate
and IL would Be surprising Il they
were 50 soon TO forget that lesson
Judge Parker was nominated for Pres
idenr mainly upon the assumption
that because he carried New York in
1897 by a plurality Of 10000 as a can
didate for Justice Of the Court OF Ap-
peals. he could carry the state as a
candidate for President. The result
is recent and quite familiar history.
His vote in New York Was little larger
! than that given Mr.. Bryan and il was
less in nearly every other state and
ne was defeated by the largest ma
jority ever given a candidate for Pres
ident Of the United States.
Benjamin Harrison was nominated
for President by the Republicans in
1858 largely because of his demon
strated popularity in Indiana, one OF
the great debatable states. but his
popularity in that state in the cleo
ton was less than 1000 and four years
later Cleveland carried Indiana by a
large majority. The Republicans put
Whitelaw Ried on the ticket with Har-
rison in 1892 TO carry New York. but
the state went Democratic by $4,000.
Stevenson was on the ticket the same
year with Cleveland but every intel
ligent man knows that Illinois would |
have gone Democratic had any other
Democrat been nominated for second |
place because eight years later he
failed to carry that state by more
than 100000 votes, AMI Stevenson had
done nothing within that time to les
sen his popularity.
1t is issues and not men that carry
National elections. The interests
which are backing Johnson would be a
Dad that he could not carry. Waiter
son states the whole case tersely and
accurately when he says: What
,hance would Johnson have over the
lead body of Bryan and with high
nance back of him?" No man can
lenv that Bryan is the choice of nine |
tut of ten members of his party and {
lie is therefore the most available t
No candidate would be

REASONS FOB CHANGE.

Capt ]. H. Russell, who has been a
back number for many years, has
made another attempt to get himself
into the limelight by coming out for
Patterson for Governor. To the cred
it of the Captain, it can be said of him
that he made a good States Attorney,
but otherwise we believe it can be
truthfully said that he has been a
firebrand and a failure in all the walks
of life. His Unsuitable vanity has led
him to get himself before the public
just as often as possible and, as a mat
ter of course, he has invariable met
with defeat. He first ran for Govern
or on the "Sky-blue ticket" and if he
could have had his way the taxpayers

The Nashville Tennessean was one
year old Monday. 1t is about the most
vigorous year old youngster that the
journalistic world ever knew. During
its brief career it has forged to the
front as one of the leading papers of
the South. BY its advocacy of the
peoples interests, it's rigid adherance
10 the right and its bold and fearless
attacks upon the evil and immoral in
fuences in state and nation it has Sc
cured a place in the affections of the
people of Tennessee that no other
Nashville daily holds and it is doubt
full if there was ever paper of the
same age that had more well-wishers
or enthusiastic friends than the Ten
nessean. That it may continue to
grow in strength and influence and
patronage is the hope of every good
