possible on honorable terms. But
no. His voice was not heard at
this critical moment.
The Governor was permitted to
wait until the Republican conven-
ton had been held and the obliga-
ton on Independent Democrats
strengthened by the nomination of
Mr.. Enloe. He waited until the
September ii convention had been
called and the delegates selected
and instructed. Three days before
that convention met he astonished
the State by withdrawing.
The manifest object was to Gre
ate confusion. 1t was but another
trick in Patterson's career of in
sincere political acts.
Now that Senator Taylor is the
nominee, he will find himself at a
very serious disadvantage. He
need not think he can win another
election in Tennessee by retelling
old jokes. The people are serious.
They will first wish to know of him
whether or not he is going to re-
sign from the Senate, and if 80
when. On this other important
matters depend. Do the people
wish Patterson to appoint Sena-
tor? Do the people wish the next
General Assembly to elect another
Governor?
Bravery and sincerity are admir-
ed in public men. There has been
strong call for both in Tennessee

answered where it should be.

The shot that Gallagher intend
ed should end Gaynor's life may
instead make him President of the
United States. Long before the
attempted assassination, William
J. Gaynor was a Democratic Pres
idential possibility. The shooting,
although he has fully recovered,
will not lessen but rather increase
his chances. The shot of the as
sassin has spread his name and
fame all over the world, and there
is probably no citizen of the United
States today who does not know
that William J. Gaynor had "made
good" as the mayor of New York.
In the few months thus far elapsed
of his administration Mayor Gay
nor has shown that he is good Pres
idential timber. He has conducted
the duties of his Office wisely, fair
ly, and honestly. There have been
no spectacular fireworks connected
with his administration; only duty
we'll done and jealous regard for
the interests and rights of every
citizen. The qualifications that
have made one of the best mayors
our biggest city ever had would
make a good President.

DIFFICULT TASKS.

Last weeks so-called "harmony''
convention in Nashville assayed
several most difficult tasks. It at
tempted to write a party platform
satisfactory to two widely differing
factions and selected a nominee
who is expected to unite these dis
cordant elements.
Both factions realized before
hand that it was impossible, under
the circumstances, to accomplish
these feats i'm the midst of q heated
campaign. They will prove too
hard even for the celebrated and
renowned dispenser of "sweetened
wind" formerly "Our Bob"
In the first place the call for the
convention was made by State
committee which has forfeited all
claim for support on any member
of the Democratic party.
This committee. in the spring,
naughty in the possession of power,
turned deaf ear to all pleadings
for fair treatment by the anti
Patterson Democrats. 1t promul-
gated plan for primary SO
thoroughly unfair and essentially
undemocratic that the candidates
then before the people refused to
enter that primary.
It seems to us that the time for
thermometers was then. They ought
to have insisted on a fair deal.
If Senator Taylor had then come
to Tennessee and led the fight for
true Democracy, he would have
been the idol of the hour. Instead
he stood aloof and although he de-
clared that he wouldn't accept such
a primary for himself he urged the
Democrats of the State to bow their
heads to the yoke. 1t was then
that the Independent Democrats
failing in securing the leadership
of men like Senator Taylor, turned
to Republicans who placed their
State above their party.
Again, it would not have been
too late for Senator Taylor had
he come home after the August
election and called abont him the
Democratic members of Congress-
and demanded of the repudiated
Governor that he retire from poll.
