BY SEN. ROBT. |. TAYLOR
FROM LOUDON
TO LOOKOUT
TEN THOUSAND PEOPLE
Try to Hear Dor Bob in Chatta-
nooga-Magnificent Greeting
by the Local Democracy

Chattanooga, Oct 19.-With enthu-
siasm of the genuine sort, the reception
accorded to Senator Taylor by the UNI
traded democracy of Chattanooga and
Hamilton county last night was one
long to be remembered by both Senator
Taylor and his party and the democra-
cv Of Hamilton county. 1t should be
stated that not only did the democracy
of Hamilton participate in the big eel
ebration, but there were delegations
from every border county. There were
representatives from far away Bledsoe
county and there were large crowds
from Marion and Rhea counties.
Senator Taylor said in the outset of
his speech that it looked to him like
everybody in the state of Tennessee
was present.
The doors Of the auditorium were
thrown open at O'Clock and by 7.30
every seat in the massive structure was
occupied. The audience was a noted
one and one in entire accord with the
speakers. When the reception COM
mittee made its appearance the build
ing " as packed with veritable sea of
humanity. The aisles were crowded
and people were standing up in all
parts of the building.
With every seat in the auditorium
filled and all the aisles crowded to the
utmost capacity, with the spirit of I'M
traded democracy permeating the vast
throng, the greatest crowd of people
that ever greeted political candidate
in Chattanooga rose as one person as
Gov. Bob Taylor entered, to cheer for
the "apostle Of peace" come to lead the
democratic hosts into the safe fold of a
q m0cracy.

Some one with more venom than
brains had jeff McCarn make fool OF
himself here by attempting to show
that Bob Taylor was not the friend OF
the Confederate veterans because he
did not appoint the late "Uncle Billy
Rhea, veteran with one leg, post
master under President Cleveland IS
second administration, but did appoint
Cy HI. Lyle. The facts about that ap-
city. "Uncle Billy" Rhea was post
master during the first term of Presi-
dent Cleveland and was succeeded by
republican when Harrison was elect
d. When Cleveland was elected in
1892 Mr.. Rhea became an applicant for
reappontment. r. g. Hunter and Cy
II. Lyle were also applicants.
Mr.. Rhea had the endorsement of
Sen. w. B. Bate and believed that suf-
ficient. Mr.. Hunter had the endorse
ment of that old war horse, Sen. Isham
g. Harris and believed he could win.
Sen. Harris was really controlling the
patronage in East Tennessee through
Maj, ID. A. Carpenter and there is
scarcely q doubt that he woul dhave
been SLOWED to make this appoint
ment over Gen. Bate, especially in
view of the fact President Cleveland
had stated that former postmasters
would not be re-appointed or given
preference over other applicants. Cy
III. Lyle had the endorsement of Gov.
Taylor, then private citizen, whose
endorsement was not considered par
ticularly valuable by the Others Gov.
TAYLOR asked the President and Post
master. General Bissel to let him name
the postmaster in his own town, re-
CARELESS of the endorsement of the
senators, and he was permitted to do SO.
In other words, Gov. Taylor had the
man appointed who relied upon his
endorsement and the other two appli-
cants who had more valuable endorse
ments, according to their belief, lost.
If any one is to be condemned for moi
appointing the ''one-legged Confederate
veteran it is Postmaster-Genera Bis

GREW PICKED
UP BY STEAMER
RESCUED BY THE TRENT
Boat Sighted Airship In Distress
and at Mercy of High Winds
Off the Steamers Track

New York, Oct. 18.-The at
tempt of the Wellman airship
America to cross the Atlantic
ocean came to a thrilling and
disastrous close today when the
British Mail steamer Trent
picked up Wellmen and his
crew from the wreck of the air
ship, 375 miles off the North
Carolina coast. The news of
rescue came in two wireless
messages from Captain Down
of the Trent, one reporting to
the company's agents here and
another informing the New
York Times the result of the
expedition in which it had TAX
en- a leading part. Both wire
less messages practically told
the same story.
Captain Down reported that
at S o'clock this morning he
first sighted the airsbip in dis
tress. Signals of distress and
calls for help were given. For
three hours the Trent maneuv-
cred in the heavy seaway to
get alongside of Wellman and
his wrecked companions. The
entire party were finally taken
aboard and the cat also, which
was taken along as the mascot,
shared in the rescue. Captain
Down reports all fine members
of the crew well. The Ameri-
ca was abandoned where the
rescue occurred in Latitude
35.43, Longitude 68.18.
This brings to a climax one
of the most remarkable flights
by an airship ever undertaken.
That the climax was not ac-
companied by a tragedy is con-
sidered matter of exceptional
fortune.

"A reception committee, about sixty

With just three weeks TO the dot un

be and if the Improvements from now
until Nov. continue at the same rap
id pace as has been the case during the
past week, it will not only mean the
election of the democrats, but it will
also mean that they will win by big
majority.
Chairman w. o. Vertrees tonight
gave out a list of speakers who are to
be pu: in field without delay and the
list will be augmented from day to day
until it will finally be sweled to over
one hundred. Besides this there will
be number of prominent democrats

will canvass the several counties and |

There seems to be the I

whole state wherever there is as many
as two or three democrats, and the To-
