WHAT FORREST SAID.
Martin Kelly Relates Con
versation About Gov.
Patterson.
To The Commercial.Appeal:

To The Commercial-Appeal:
was amazed to see the question of
Gov. M. r. Patterson's treatment of
the late Capt. William Forrest brought
into question as campaign issue, and
the attempt made to injure Gov Pat
terson as a result.
l know, perhaps, as much about this
matter as anyone, if not more.
Twas very intimate with Gen. Nathan
Bedford Forrest, having been associat
ed with him in business a long time,
and his last request me on his deathbed
was to be friend to his son "Billy," "
as had been to him.
That | did 80 to the best of my abill-
ty from that time until the hour of his
death is not unknown to many. | al
ways took deep interest in him, and
did what could to promote his well
fare.
When he returned from the Brushy
Mountain mines | met him on the street
and / noticed that he was looking bad
ly. asked him how he got along at
the mines, and he told me that his
health was 80 bad as to render him un-
able to work, and that the commission
ers had dismissed him.
asked him if Gov. Patterson was a
party to it, or III any way responsible
for it, and his reply was:
"No, Mr.. Kelly; Gov. Patterson was
and is my friend, and he did all he
could for me. He wanted me to remain
in Nashville few days, 80 that he
could do something for me in some
other position. My health is wretched
and 1 felt that nothing could be done
at present, and came to Memphis. "
"Capt. Billy" was very weak, and
lasted only few weeks longer. Had
he been mistreated by the governor, OIL
anyone else, l would have been the
first to resent it. But know that Gov
Patterson did all that he could, as long
as it was possible to do anything, anG
criticising him on this account is no
only very unjust, but also very absurd

CARMACK ANGRY
Thousands Jeer Him as
He Forsakes Speaking
PATTERSON LEFT ALONE.
1900 Loyal Democrats See
Unusual Scene-State-
ment from ParSianS

Paris, Tenn, June G.-In order that
the people of Tennessee may be cor
rectly informed as to the occurrences
here today we, the undersigned citi-
zens, hereby make the following state.
ment which can be verified by 1000 or
5000 Others who witnessed the scene:
Gov. Patterson opened the debate,
there were some 5000 or 1000 people
present. There was a large majority of
the crowd for the governor. Gov. Pat
terson was frequently interrupted by
cries from the friends of Senator Car
mack, and he answered them all good
humoredly and finished his speech
without showing any feeling and with
out any friction in the crowd.
Senator Carmack began his speech
and he was also interrupted with cries
and several times called for the persons
who interrupted him to be removed
from the grounds. He was seemingly
in bad humor and after speaking for
about one hour suddenly quit and said
he wouldn't finish his speech.
AS he turned to leave Gov. Patter son
told him to go ahead and finish his
speech, but Mr.. Csrmack refused to do
so and Immediately left the speakers
stand, got into hack which was wait
ing and went to the depot and left on
the train. Gov. Patterson also told
Senator Carmack that if he left he
would claim rejoinder as he wouldn't
forfeit that right if he left the stand.
The governor then arose for his rejoin-
der, but the Carmack crowd kept up q
continual howl and constant waving
of red flags so as to drown his voice
and thus prevent him from speaking,
This lasted for fully one hour, Gov,
Patterson in the meantime smiling al
the crowd and trying to restore order
in which he was at last partially sue
cessful.
DIDN'T BLAME CITIZENS.
Gov. Patterson then said in his re
joinder that he didn't blame the follow
ers of Senator Carmack for the tumult
and disorder which had occurred, bu
said he laid the blame directly at tn,
door of Senator Carmack who, he said
was alone responsible for it. Gov. Pat
terson also said thst he had been inter
: rupted in his speech today as much a
, the senator and at other places gooc
deal more, but had always maintained
his equilibrium and had studiousl
avoided getting angry with the crow
or showing temper, but that Senate
Carmack wouldn't do this, but woul
always become unruly and enraged

BOSTON. Mass, March 27.--One Of
