Great Harmony In Tennessee.


Tho Tennessee Republican convention
u6 Nashville was so spirited and athletic
40 20 deserve honorable mention even
J In these days. when, in sympathy with
the great eirenio influence at Washing
ton, about every Republican convention
south Of Mason and DiXon's line splits
into two after vigorous physical eIer-
else, There were about a dozen fist
fights Several delegates drew their
guns" One gentleman carried a wea-
pom, variously described as an axe and
Es . "hatchet. He was not allowed 20
uge IL in friendly remonstrance; and the
better opinion seems TO be that it was
only a little Ratchet and intended as an
emblem Of truth TO discomft the large
collection OF ANANIAsEs in the hall.
The chairman Of the State committee
was dragged from the speakers stand
several times, and finally almost choked
into insensibility.' His clothes were torn
Oh, but he was not killed. Six noun
tsineers dragged him out alive. A gen.
! tleInan from Chattanooga is said TO have
smashed a chair e a negro's head, but
ifhe did, II was merely to give q concrete
illustration Of the Presidents Browns
vile policy, OF the Hon. NATHAN W.
HALE, Representative in Congress from
the Second district, his opponents sang
this merry lay;
wen hang old HALE TO an Alberta peach tree
In short, this was as fine a fight Of a
convention as has been held this year.
Two State conventions. Two district
conventions in every district. The Fed
eral O~ficeholders bucking against the
common, ordinary Republican. Can there
be any doubt that Tennessee will be "a
Republican State this fall?

Three Japanese Monkeys In Politics.

Three japanese Monkeys In Politics.
We acknowledge with gratitude the
receipt Of an illustrated %broadsido,
printed in red, recounting the virtues Of
the Hon. ALBERT W. GILCHRIsT Of Punta
Gorda. candidate for Governor Of
Florida In the northwest Of this
document shines the comely counterfeit
presentment Of Mr., GuLCHRIsT. The
northeast shows us three monkeys, one
with his hands over his eyes, one with
his hands over his mouth, n stopping
his ears as il Mr.. BRYAN or Mr.. RoosE-
WELT were in full cry, The legend:
"on a famous temple In Japan there are repre-
scented three monkeys, suggesting hear, see, speak
no evil This Is Intended as an object lesson In.
~culcatlng charity as to the faults Of others. ALBERT
W. GmcHRIsr has them painted on his once build
Ing In Punta Gorda. Ria"
This admirer Of Japanese art and sym
bolism started life at SIS a month,
which is a good deal more than most Of
us get at the same period. Now he
modestly admits that he is fairly well
off," and he invites votes;
vote for ALBERT W. GmcHBIsr. He feels sure
he will be elected Governor Of Florida II he gets
enough votes. He will he opposed by a Band Of
Patriots who have mouopollzed all the political
virtues. They organize the ward, city, county and
state politics, always with an eye for the main
chance and for the p-e.a-p-u.ll. They would not
draw their salaries except for the benent OF the
p-e.a.p-u.l-l They are the p-e.a.p-uIl, pulling
the last pea out Of the pot for themselves. lie Is
not on the band wagon. Walking Is good
enough for him.
He means that running is good
enough for him, His platform is simple
and cut into convenient lengths;
"De Soto county Is dry | voted to make It so.
I live the life Of temperance; some people would
prefer you to talk the life. Capital Is organized.
Labor should organize. Each Is the h%sndmaldsn
Of the other. Neither should be oppressed. There
are two kinds OF men recognized, the natural man
and the artificial man. known as the corporation.
Each have certain rights. Each should be re.
strained. Neither should be destroyed, The taxes
OF our people bear u~nevenly. There should be
more economy. Elect proper legislators. II | am
elected Governor ! will do my duty. Our laws
are too technical"
How can anybody, whether Of the
people or the "p-e-a-p-u-l-l, object to
this sound declaration of principles,
with charity and the three japanese
monkeys to boot? We agree cordially
with Mr.. GILCHRIsT that he will be
elected Governor if he gets enough
votes.

editorial in to-day's sun headed The Fees
Of the Kniokerbocker Receivers has been
read with much interest. The real point in
issue, however, seems to me to be not what
the services OF the temporary receivers were
worth, but what it was worth to all inter-
ested in the Knickerbocker TO get rid OF the

OTHER CANDIDATES BUSY
SUPPORTERS OF JUDGE GRAY AND

GIVE UP FIGHT.
(By Jacob Waldeck.)

DENVER, June 25.-Supporters of
Bryan today declared they were sure of
at least $50 votes for the Nebraskan on
the first ballot and that he will prob
ably have eight hundred. A total of 672
which is two-thirds of the vote in the
convention is required to nominate.
The Bryanites say this estimate does
not include the New York delegation
and declare that Bryan will win despite
the efforts of Tammany against him.
The report that Charles Murphy, the
Tammany chieftair, and William j.
Connors. of Buffalo, are coming here
to oppose Bryan failed to cause fright.
The Bryanites say asa delegates have
been instructed for the Nebraskan, that
81 more are pledged, and are confident
of more.
Friends Of Governor Johnson and
Judge Gray. are continuing the fight
denying the claim of the Bryanites.
