Why Did Carmack Quit at Paris?

Carmack quit at Paris.
Patterson did not.

carpetbag republican, who is aiding
personally and financially those who
are aiding Carmack.
Patterson was interrupted and hoot.
ed and jeered by small crew no larger
than that which yelled at Carmack, but
he stood his ground, took his medicine,
accepted the situation as it was and
then conquered it into victory. Pat
terson is a slayer. He is on solid
ground. He is running as democrat
and is willing to leave the trial of the
issue to acknowledgements demo.
Gratis.
Take notice of this, Newell Sanders,
chairman of the Tennessee republican
committee, in this fight as a bush
whacker for Carmack, and also take
notice, you spellbinders from other
states who are here to butt into fight
that ought to be settled by Tennessee
democrats and are telling these demo
Gratis what they must do to be saved,
and who, as soon as this fight is closed,
will enlist under the republican banner
for the orship of Tennessee and
will demand Bryan's scalp because he
once expressed a conviction that prohi-
bition was not one of the cardinal prin
ciples of democracy.
1t will not do for Mr. Carmack to say
it was not possible for him to coutinue.
From the reports at hand the loud.
lunged fellows made it as difficult for
Patterson as they did for Carmack.
Patterson fought it out with these
men and finished his speech.
Carmack claims that drunken hood
lums prevented him from speaking
One of his organs said this:
''It was great Carmack victory, and
showed plainly that old Henry will take
her stand in the temperance leader &
column. The majority of the crowd
was Enthusiastically for the senator. Ear
Ey in the day 1t looked like the whites
were strongly IN the ascendancy and
up to II o'clock there was no denying
this fact, but when the trains began to
pour in from Hollow Rock, bringing
hundreds from the southern part of the
county, which is overwhelmingly for
the senator, things took on redder as
pect. A great majority of the country
people were for Carmack."
Now, then, if this newspaper is tell
ing the truth, why-why did Carmack
quit when a majority Of the crowd was
for him?

Carmack Then and Now.

Mr.. Carmack, through his campaign
manager, submitted a primary plan to
the state executive committee, which it
declined to adopt. He entered the cam
paign under the plan adopted by the
proper authorities, but he has denounc-
ed it on every stump and in every news
paper he could control. He has even
declared that he would ignore the party
law governing the contest by asserting
that he will not accept the nomination
If he has majority of the delegates
but not majority of the popular vote.
In this case Gov. Patterson would not
be the nominee, under the party law,
and Mr.. Carmack would. If he decin-
ed to accept he would leave the party
in an embarrassing position. 1t would
have no nominee, and would have to
proceed to another nomination. Mr..
Carmack has even asked Gov. Patterson
whether he would abide by the provi-
sions of the primary plan. He is seek
ing to ignore the state convention, the
highest party authority, which refused
to instruct for q direct primary but
which specifically directed the state
committee to select some uniform meth
cd of selecting delegates. He is defy
ing the state committee which has obey.
ed the instructions of its master, the
state convention, and devised plan for
selecting delegates and also for giving
each indidual voter a full and fair OPP
portunity for voting for his choice.
This is what Mr.. Carmack is doing
defying the constituted authority of
his party. In his contest with Bob
Taylor he said of the state committee
GAS to the authority of the committee
to act, it will not be questioned by me. y
That committee had not received direct
orders from the state convention what
to do. But he recognized its authority.
He criticised Taylor because he had
ignored both the state committee and
the state convention" That is what
Carmack is trying to do now. He has
no friend, wise or foolish, who will de-
ny this.
He accused Bob Taylor of trying to
rob him of the nomination when Tay-
lor's plan gave him four months time
for canvass Carmack's plan for q
primary for governor gave only three
months or less for canvass. This in
dicates his porcine character. When
he has the power he is swinish to the
last degree; when he is defeated he

that Mr.. Carmack knows that no men
voted for that bill without knowing its
import He knows this because he
tried to prove the lnfamy of the bill be-
fore it was passed. In spite of Mr..
Carmack's convincing logic and'his ap-
peals to his political friends in the leg
islatHre, fifty nine of the best demo-
Gratis in Tennessee, representing the
people who had trusted them, voted
for the bill. Let Mr.. Carmack be frank
enough, if he really believes it, to say
whether or not the votes of those fifty
nine democrats were infamously cast.
He can not claim for them ignorance
or courtesy, because his campaign of
education against the bill was too thor
ough to Justify such claim. Passing
from the legislature, it is reasonable to
suppose that any man who supported
the Memphis charter bill would have
signed it as Gov. Patterson did, if he
had been governor. A number of the
ablest and most popular men in Ten
nessee advocated its passage. Ex-Gov.
Benton McMillin supported the Mem
phis charter bill. Senator Robert L.
Taylor supported the Memphis charter
bill. Let Mr. Carmaok say whether or
not these men were parties to infamy.
But let us return to the consideration
OF the deadly parallel. 1t is plain to
any observing man that the favorite, if
not the only, weapon Of Senator Car
mack in political combat is denuncia
ton. The shells Of fury which are now
screaming across the political sky to
fall upon the firm citadel of NJ. r. Pat
terson's democracy are the same that
fell harmlessly against the Gibraltar of
Robert L. Taylor's good name.
The charges and misrepresentation
which we're hurled at Taylor were repu.
dated by the democracy of this state,
but as long as those charges stand upon
the records of Tennessee politics, unex-
planned and unrepented of by their
author, he will find the name of Bob
Taylor poor weapon for his use.

cant finish a speech he is not of the
right caliber for democratic leadership
But it is hardly fair to quote this para
graph against Carm&ck-for it is not
true. 1t is simply a case of lie COM
ing home to roost. The organ that
printed that paragraph assaulted the
truth not wisely, but too we'll.
Carmack's quitting was not fair to
the democracy of Henry county. The
people of Henry county are democrats,
Tennesseans, and love fair play, and
they would have secured ample hearing
for Carmack if he had not flown the
coop"
Leading democrats condemned Car
mack's action in leaving the stand as
without just cause. We do not believe
they would permit any gentleman to be
denied hearing after rendering to him
the hospitality of their town.
Carmack seems to have got mad and
quit.
He quit the gold standard for free
silver and quit lambasting fiat money
and free silver.
He quit abusing prohibitionists when
he began to run for office.
He quit abusing John Fl. Mcdowell
and Mary Ellen Lease and other popu.
lists.
He stood for local option and loca
self government, but he quit that.
In this campaign he quit his TRADE
about pardons and took up the Jarvis
bill.
He has quit the fundamental princi.
pies of democracy and is so far quit
that Newell Sanders and Foster Brown
and horde of machine republicans,
are giving his cause support.
And he will quit all the things he is
now advocating if he is only given time.
He may quit this race,
He may quit West Tennessee, take
his doll rags and go home to Columbia
if he does not quit losing his temper as
he did at Paris.
We hope he will at least not FIND
anything at Somerville to give him an
excuse for quitting the field there to.
day, and we exhort our neighbors in
Fayette to be most tender in then
treatment of him, lest he may pout and
play no more in the back yard of the

Trial of Revenue Cutter Steamer

The new United States revenue service
steamer Androscoggin. the latest addition
to the fleet of revenue cutters underwent
her official trials on the Delaware river
yesterday. The trial \consisted of a
tour-hour run at full speed on the
Delaware river to test engines and
speed qualities of the vessel in order 10
determine whether she is fitted for the
duties on the Maine coast for which she
was designed. The trials were witnessed
by several officials of the revenue cutter
service from this city and Baltimore and
il is believed that the steamer met all
the requirements. After some finishing
work at the yard of the builders at
1'ompkins cove on the Hudson river the
steamer will go to the Arundel Cove sta
ton of the revenue cutter service to be
fitted out for service on TIE Maine
coast.
The new vessel is a modern ship i'm all
respects and in addition to electric light
ing steam heating. modern water evapo-
rating apparatus and conveniences for
officers and men khe ship has wireless

instruments in it,
