DEMOCRATIC
CLUB MEETS
FEELING IS INTENSIFIED
Chairman Called Meeting for Yes
terday of the Rutherford Dem
ocrtic GLIB in Murfrresboro

Murfreesboro, Tenn, July 1O.--The
only subject of discussion on the streets
of Murfreesboro and in the clubrooms
today, although ii was the holy Sab
bath, was the remarkable course of
Senator Taylor in refusing at the lasR
minute to comply with his promise to
take the stump for the regular demos
cratic ticket. The regulars are violenH
in the denunciation of his conduct,
and characterize it as cowardly and
without excuse. The independents,
while rejoicing over the fact that Sena-
tor Taylor has shown the white feath-
er, admit that his course has created
in their intermost minds a spirit Of
profound contempt, and the leaders
are frank to say that Senator Taylor
has absolutely ruined his future politi-
cal prospects.
Chairman b. M. Rucker, OF the
Rutherford county democratic club,
will order special meeting of the
club, which is composed of 1900 of the
best democrats and friends of Senator
Taylor in Rutherford county, to meet
tomorrow Monday, when resolutions
will probably be adopted denouncing
the senator. The 'cooler heads' lave
advised against this couse, but with
out effect. Rutherford county has al
ways been Taylor county, and nine
tenths of the members of the demo-
cratic club have ever been his warm
friends and supporters, but they are
now rised to resentment.
This feeling against Senator Taylor
has been intensified by the fact that he
allowed the local organization TO adj
vertise his speaking here for next Sat.
urday and the making of all prepara-
tions for a great ovation to be rendered
him on his arrival. The general opin-
ion, as expressed by leaders OF both
factions, is that the fight OF the Sena-
tor in the face of danger will really
have no material effect on The result Of
The election. Nevertheless, the 'sregu-
arsp are up in arms and mean TO let
The senator know just what they think
Of him.

HAS FLOWN THE
DEMOCRATIC COOP
D'L0NG RICE SURPRISED
Threatened With Political Destruc-
ton Whether He Does or Doesn't
He Hikes For Tall Grass

Washington, July - Saying
that he sees with dismay that the
Democracy is rushing madly to
destruction through its bitter dis.
sensions, Senator Robert L. Tay-
lor today gave out a statement
withdrawing his promise to stump
the state in the interests of
the Democratic judiciary ticket.
The Senator says his action is
taken because he can not infl!ct
his advice where it is rejected in
in advance.
Senator Taylor had agreed to
speak in behalf Of the Democrat
&c Judiciary ticket. This an
nouncen1ent aroused a storm Of
protest from friends of the Sena-
tor, who said they did not care
to hear him on that subject. SEN
ator Taylor made this statement.
upon the eve of leaving Wash
ington. 1t follows:
II have seen with dismay and
sorrow that the Democracy of
Tennessee is rushing madly to-
destruction through its bitter dis
sensions, and my impu lse was to
fly TO its rescue and by persuas-
sion and intreaty induce Demo-
Gratis, if | could, to waive pas
sious and differences and renite
against their old-time enemy, but
| have been convinced by most |
overwhelming evidences from
of men of all persuas-
ions all over Tennessee that my |
services in that role are not
wanted, and that instead of ac-
,omplishing good, / would add
fuel to the flames and widen the
breach.
81 am, therefore, constrained |
to Withdraw my promise to cam
yass the State, for | can not in
lict my advice where 1t is reject,
d in advance and when / am as.
'ured it will do harm instead Of
rood.
II am singled out Of all Demo-
rats in Tennessee and threaten
d with political destruction
| do or do not do, and
Tow | am ready for the sacrifice,
or if my tenure Of the high Of
lee the people have bestowed
lpon me depends upon and re- j
uires that | shall join either fac
ion Of Democrats to fight the
ther, ! will lay it down gladly
nd retire with at least a con-
cicnce void Of offense against
ny party or my people.
This must not be taken as re-
eding in any respect from the /
osition ! have announced, for
here can be no safety except in
rganization and obediauce to :
authority.

Over What They Term Indecent

Knoxville, July 1.-THE death of
Congressman Walter p Brownlow has
cast a gloom over all East Tennessee,
especially in the First and Second con-
gressional districts, where he was so
favorably known.
His followers and friends all over the
First district are highly indignant over
what they term the indecent actions of
the SandersCates factions in their at
tempt to work up a sentiment in favor
of a candidate to succeed Col. Brownlow
while he was on his death bed. The
press reports sent out some days ago,
when it was first announced that the
popular congressman was on his death
bed, that Judge @. M. Henderson, of
Rutledge, would be the successor to
Col. Brownlow have caused wave of
indignation to sweep over East Tennes-
see such as was never known before.
The close friends Of Col. Brownlow as
scrt that they have been 50 anxious
down in grief over his death, that they
have never had thought Of selecting
successor, and that such a thing
would not be attempted until after the
funeral.
Unwarranted," They Assert.
The close friends of the late congress
man charge that the statement sent
out that Judge Henderson was the
choice Of Brownlow people was unwar-
ranted; that no discussion among them
had even been thought Of and that they
thought it most indecent--the action
of Judge Henderson and his friends to
endeavor TO work up his candidacy be-
fore there was vacancy and while !
their friend was on his deathbed.
They charge that no true friend Of
Col. Brownlow has INDUCED in any !
talk of a candidacy as yet; that they I
Will resent such unwarranted action on
the part Of some Of their enemies,
1t is being openly charged here that t
n deal was made several weeks ago be-
tween Newell Sanders, Charles T.
Gates and Judge Henderson, whereby
the Gates & Go. influence was to be
used for Judge Henderson in case of a

and that If no vacancy occurred, that

New York, Feb. 3.-Weakness in
the stock market checked an early
advance in cotton and the market
eased of during the afternoon under
scattering liquidation and a renewal
Of local bear pressure. The close was
about quiet and steady, net unchang-
ed to points lower.
The market opened steady at a de-
cline of points to an advance or l
point which was about in line with
Liverpool futures. The first tendency
of the market was upward on excel
lent trade advices from Manchester,
reports of continued steadiness in the
south, and the expectation OF bullish
weekend statistics, with May calls
selling up to 1855 and July to 14.5S,
or about to s points net higher. But
as soon as local professionals saw that
weakness in the stock market was
bringing out some Wall street cotton,
offerings became heavier and while
there was q good demand on scale
downward, the market developed an
easier tone in the absence Of aggres-
sive bull support. May contracts sold
off to 144S in the last hour, or about
II points below the high level Of the
morning and 8 points under last
nights close. Covering caused par
tial recovery in the last few minutes
4 points net lower. Aside from the
unsettled condition in the stock mar
ket there seemed to be no fresh bear
ish features in the news, while advices
from trade centers and the southern
spot markets were generally encour-
aging Such reports as have been re-
ceived from the southwest with REL
erence to the recent rains indicate
that they have not helped the season
in the ground to any extent southern
spots officially reported early were un.
changed to lc higher. The Wall street
selling was estimated at about $4,000
bales, and a prominent commission
house with southern connections was
credited with buying fully as much
as this for May and July delivery on
the decline.
Receipts at the ports today 1884
bales against 14,629 last week and
36,OO3 last year. For the week SO,-
900 bales against 113,002 last week
and 253,527 last year. Today's re-
ceipts at New Orleans 306 bales
against 1927 last year.
