grand old Democratic Ship of State.
The opera house was crowded, pit to

The Senator's speech was along the

everybody 70 come and see him when

referred to Reelfoot Lake and stated
that he was for an open lake, that
everybody might enjoy unrestricted the
hunting and fishing rights and that
peace and tranquility might prevail in
the community.
Senator Taylor made a plea to the
Brownlow followers by eulogizing Con-
gresham Brownlow. He paid his spe-
cial respects to Messrs. Sanders and
Evans, saying that this scheme Of dig
ging up Hooper was gotten up in Wash

Both Sides in Tennessee Predict
Majority Next tuesday.

Nashville, Tenn, Oct 30. have
been campaigning ID Tennessee siDce
1884. and have made fourteen o six-
teen campaign tours u this State in
time, when party enthusiasm was run
high, but never before have I seen in
West Tennessee such determination and
such enthusiasm on the part Of the
Democrats as I have seen this year. Z
Thus spoke Senator Robert /. Taylor
this morning in the course Of a brief
rest between the end Of the second week
and the commencement 81 the third
week Of his whirlwind campaign.
In the best days Of Democracy in
tins State, when the party was solid and
when the Democratic speaker brought
out The full strength of his party at
every appointment, never got such
crowds as ] have seen this week. | have
made from six TO nine speeches per day,
and since leaving Memphis last Mon
day / have talked to forty-eight audi
ences, every one of them as large as
the size Of the community would justi-
fy. My observation teaches me that we
viii carry every West Tennessee county
that the Democrats are accustomed to
carry, and with the usual maiorities.
Gibson and Weakley are the only
two counties as TO which ! feel any
alarm as TO the size OF the maiorities, !
and in both Of them We feel the Dem
0crats alert, determined ard hopeful.
Since making this trip / am satisfied OF
ultimate victory II the vote OF the
State were taken to-day and we had an
absolutely fair count we would carry
the State by a good majority,
PROSPECTS BRIGHTEN EACH DAY.
The prospects will be improved dur
ing the coming week. for the Demo-I
cratic tide is now rising, while the Re-
publican strength IS receding.
Senator Taylor in every speech made
last week has repeated the estimate Of
his majority at 20, 900, and on arrival
at headquarters here in Nashville he
finds his estimate verified by the close
calculation Of w @. Vertrees, chair |
man Of the State Democratic Executive
Committee.
Mai. Nertrees was chairman Of the
independent campaign III August, and /

him know how conservative is he IN the

These negroes we're stage hands, en-

Dear sirs ! am highly gratihed to
learn Of the nomination Of United States
Senator Robert L. Taylor by the regu-
lar Democrats Of Tennessee as their
standard bearer in thepresent campaign:
It is unnecessary for me to say that
il is the duty Of every Democrat Of the
State of Tennessee to give Senator Tay-
lor his cordial. undivided and enthusi-
astic support in the contest which is now
going on between Republican nomi-
mated for Governor by a Republican
convention and your distinguished Sem
ator nominated for Governor by the
regular Democrats of Tennessee.
The Democrats Of your State must
not be misled by any false issues but
should stand as solid phalanx and
makecertain the election Of Democcat
as against Republican ifnthis contest.
The Democrats and the people Of
Tennessee are certainly to be congrat-
ulated on the acceptance by Senator
Taylor Of this nomination and / can see
no reason why every man calling him-
self Democrat should not rally to the
support Of the regular Democratic nomi-
nee for Governor
Ny interest in Senator Taylor's can
didacy for Governor OF Tennessee on
the regular Democratic ticket, is, Of |
course Easide from my personal friend
ship and admiration for Senator Taylor
as man and a Democrat for the effect
that his election viii have on the Ma
tional Democratic situation.
/ have tile honor to be the official i
head Of the Democratic party in the
Nation and naturally want to see our
party successful in this election in Ten
nessee as well as in the other States and
Territories throughout the Union
This important election Of 1910 is the
forerunner of the great national contest
Of 1912, and if our party is successful
in the present election in Tennessee il
means much 10 the party in general in
.he election Of 1912 /, therefore, in
ily CdpdCltst ds Nhdll iidi VI VIC DShi7
,eratic National Committee appeal to
vi Tennessee Democrats to support
senator Taylor and the regular Demo-
ratio nominees in the election ef No
-ember s.
Tennessee is a Democratic State and
IS failure to uphold the Democratic
tandard in this campaign would be re-
,arded as a body blow to the National
Democracy and would be so proclaimed
" the Republican party, now so stren-
ously at work to get foothold in the
olid South.
| send greetings to the Democracy Of
from my own, the Empire
tate, where the election Of Hon. John
!. Dix, our candidate for Governor, is
ow looked upon as a certainty.

East Tennessee will not exceed 10000
The campaign party which has just
traversed West Tennessee knows how
easily this majority can be overcome.
The large counties Of Shelby, Davidson,
Knox and Hamilton will do it aIonA
leaving the maiorities of other coun-
ties for good measure.
Secretary Johnson Of the Democratic
committee has just given an interview
in which he, Of course, claims a vie
tory, but it is significant that he, bases
it on the assumption that there were
80, 900 independent votes cast in the
August election and that not more than
10 per cent OF them will 60 with the
Democratic ticket in November.

As matter Of fact, W. @. Vertrees
and Gen. Harvey Hannah, who know
more about the independent vote in
August than any other living men,
place that independent vote in August
at $4,000, and they say, and all who
have been making heronnds with SEN
ator Taylor know that far more than
half that vote will go for Taylor in No
vember. Accepting these facts as the
basis of calculation, it is apparent that
the fusionists are beaten right now
The Democratic campaign started ont
with thirty-two newspapers in Tennes-
see favorable to Robert L. Taylor To-
day the headquarters are sending litera-a
ture to slxty-seven newspapers that are
publishing news favorable to Taylor.

SECRETARY JOHNSON.

AT the fusion headquarters the follow
ing statement IS made:
There is no doubt of the election Of
Capt. Hooper and Col EnIoe, and this
is virtually conceded by every one hav-
ing knowledge OF conditions in this
State, except those whose official po-
sition requires them to perform the
functions Of whistler" to keep up
the courage of the disheartened forces
of the machine, in order that there
may not be a connplcte and final coll
lapse.
There were from eighty-iive thou
sand to ninety thousand Democrats who
voted the free judiciary ticketin August
and not more than ten per cent Of these
win ever, under any circumstances, sup
port Senator Taylor for Governor.
There was never a more determined
body of men in any State than that
majority Of the Democracy OF Tennes-
sec who are going to vote the fusion
their nominees for Governor
and Railroad Commissiener.
We will undoubtedly carry East Ten
nessee and West Tennessee by practi-
cally the same majority as IN the August
and in Middle Tennessee there
Will not beany pereephble change,
