as honorable as the other four, and in
all the counties where he is known nc
man believes that his character is
made of plant stuff.
The coercion theory has been aban,
doned. 1t was too palpably fraudulent
to merit the small consideration it was
once given. Judge Lansden pretends
to have carried message from Mr..
Robertson to Judge Shields by which
their nomination was assured. But
the people were not to be deceived. Ii
Judge Landsden confesses completely

A plan was proposed to Judge Beard

General Gates abused the Governor
and King George III, but the Governor
is not on the Judicial ticket, will not

lutionary war is over.
Judge Wilson boasts that he boIted
and lost once before, bul that is no
reason why he should not be defeated
again.
Judge Lansden is bitterly opposed to

vote two years ago. Judge Lansden is
not adverse to some other methods, es-

A SUMMING UP.

The evidence in the case of Indepen
dents VS.. Democracy is all in, the clos
ing arguments are being made, and
the jury, the people, will render th
the verdict Thursday.
We are consistently Democratic: we
have faith in the Democratic party and
Democratic government.
We believe the Democrats of Tennes-
see will abide the result of the June
primary and the State Convention.
Both were regular and in accordance
with party custom. The platform is
clear and explicit as the party pro-
nouncemont and binding upon the
Democrats of the State. Those candi-
dates for Supreme Court and Court of
Civil Appeals were chosen from the
best talent the State affords, and not
one specific charge has found lodgment
against their character as citizens; no
taInt of scandal attaches to their public
career; no criticism of their ability to
adorn the beach to which they aspire
They have not stopped to trade and
traffic in future political distributions
to further their psesent needs. They
ape making campaign on the Demo-
cratic ticket, depending for support on
loyal Democrats and honest Republic
cans, whose sense of honor is above
their greed for spoils. The senseiess
abuse of the rabid press will not alter
facts. To designate their candidates
as puppets will not convince the
voter of the superior qualification of
the Independents. There's reputable
citizen of Summer County that will re-
sumo the responsibility of characteriz-
ing Judge Barton and Judge Cooke as
n puppet. There is not reputable cit
izen of Summer County that is willing
to call Judge Bell "puppet." No re-
sponsible person in Davidson County
