Hooper's opening speech IN bis cam
paign for Governor makes II plain
that he is no ordinary man. Not In
the memory Of this generation has a
candidate for Governor launched his
campaign on such a high plane. His
every word and thought breathes the
Hottest patriotism. 1t is no base aP-
peal to partisan passion and prejudice.
without cant and without hypOcracy,
free from bias, frank. direct. unassum-
ing Capt. Hooper approaches the grave
issues Of the campaign in a Mariner
that is as refreshing as it is unusual.
The Herald predicts that Capt.
Hooper win grow upon the people,
that before this campaign comes to a
successful end that he will have a
band Of devoted personal followers
from the ranks of both parties that
will add UNNECESSARILY to the strength
and enthusiasm of the cause. He Is
worthy leader Of great and noble
movement. His appeal is above parti-
san and factionaI politics. 1t is d.
rectly to the manhood and patriotism
Of both parties. He will make great
Governor. Tennessee has not known
his like since the sainted William b.
Bate served as the States chief execu-
tive.
With Hooper as the Governor there
will be no traficing in human misery,
there viii be no Office brokerage. He
states the case clearly and nobly when
he says that the distribution of pat
ronagewill be an incident and not the
object Of his administration. The Her
and congratulates the Republican rar-
ty upon it's discovery Of Hooper. No
mistake was made when the
banner of his party and the
cause Of all lovers Of good gov
eminent and friends of liberty was
placed in his hands. He will not dis
appoint his followers. Young, vigor-
GUS, virile, patriotic, honest and true
Ben Hooper will give the people OF
this state an administration of its af-
fairs that will be the pride of all Ten
nesseans for generations yet unborn.

approve this magnificent sentiment.
Every patriotic American will rejoice
that his country is once more reunited
and that we have gotten far enough
away from the dissentions and bitter
ness of the war to acknowledge the
courage and devotion of our foes. The
Federal army was brave and devoted
organization. Some of the best and
truest men who ever wore q uniform
marched under the stars and stripes
in that unfortunate conflict. Many OF
them have moved to the South since
the close OF the war and they have
been useful citizens and generous con-
tributors TO the advanc ement and
progress of this section.
II is unfortunate that there should
yet remain those who for base parti-
san reason are willing to again at
tempt to revive sectional hate and an
mostly and to once more stir the
smouldering embers Of internecine
strife. Those who seek official prefer
ment by a base appeal to prejudice
and passion and by trying to reopen
the wounds that we're made during
the great war are false TO their coun-
try. The war ended at Appomattox
with the brave soldiers Of both armies

DUTY OF GOOD CITIZENS.

Says the Chattanooga Times:
''Mr. Vertrees impresses 1t upon the
Democracy Of theState that Mr.. Hoop
er in his address to the independents
convention denied that any bargain
had been made and that the Reubli-
cans voted for free Ju-
dietary without price or prom
ise." The Republican candi-
date himself thus absolved the Inds-
pendents from any moral obligation to
support him. This leaves them free to
adhere to their party In November II
they choose and to do what all good
citizens should do-vote for the best
man and the principles in which they
believe"
The Chattanooga Times Is the East
Tennessee organ of the liquor forces
but we can give hearty endorsement
to the above No trade, bargain or
deal was made with the patriotic Re-
publicans in the recent campaign and
every citizen in Tennessee is free to
vote for what he deems is the best in
terests of his State Patriotism should
be placed above party, In casting
ballot the citizen should look alone to
the welfare OF his country. The cit
teen who does not do this IL not wor-
thy OF the elective franchise.
1t must be admitted, however. that
in this campaign a moral obligation
rests upon the people Of the State.
They could not have won the glorious
victory for a free judiciary but for the
assistance, unpurchased and unbought,
OF the patriotic Republicans. II the
Republicans of Tennessee, majority
OF them. were patriotic enough to sup
port ten Democratic judges where the
honor and integrity OF the State was
involved certainly the Democrats can
be patriotic enough to support the
champion Of good government and
law enforcement in this campaign al
though he may be q Republican.

A NOBLE uTTERANcE.

! The tribute which the command
er in chief of the Grand Army of the
Republic paid to the former foes OF
the Federal soldiers was worthy of the
brave soldier that he Is. Among brave
and true men the animosities OF the
war are no longer kept alive.
The press dispatches give the fol-
lowing report of the commanders
speech:
Comrades we were the victors,
and we can afford to be magnani nous
to our old foes. 1t Is easy for the vic
.or to forgive, but when the vanQuish-
I'd absolves himself from all bitter
ness he has truly gained the most
cherished trait of noble character.
We won--they lost. We returned to
1ur homes with the shouts Of victory
ringing In our ears-our cause trium-
phant. They were defeated, their
cause lost. and they returned to homes
destroyed, barns empty. money worth
less. slaves free and ruin all about
them. Any but brave people would
have yielded to these adverse circum-
stances-not so with them. Bravely
as they fought during the war. they

our united efforts advanced to the
highest pinnacle of fame and become
mighty world power, with our infiu-
ence everywhere potential. Who does
not rejoice that our Union is one and
indivisible, and viii remain so for

When he said that no drawer troops
were ever marshalled for conflict than
the Southern soldiers, and that the
Union veterans now realize that no
men ever made greater sacrifices for
what they believed to be right than
their former foes. the Commander was
applauded.

aoR rAYLoR,s APPEAL.

II Bob Taylor really believes that ne
can influence the great mass of indie
pendent Democrats who supported the
law and order ticket in August he has
about the worst case of egotism and
self inflated Importance Of record in
this State. II Bob would for once In
his life sit down and seriously think
he would inevitably reach the conclu-
sion that his appeals to the Independ-
ents would be about as effective as
pouring water on a ducks back.
Bob Taylor openly espoused the
cause Of the Patterson gang in the re-
cent contest. He even went so lar as
to authorize the announcement that
he would take the stump for that tick
ct. But Bob heard rumblings of the
approaching storm, he caught Wis
ion of the election returns and without
regard for his pIighted word, In plain
violation OF his agreement with the
Patterson Committee he fed the State
and declined to participate in the cam
peign. No self respecting Patterson
partisan can have much respect for
Bob Taylor. He Is gutter and dis
played political cowardice in the front
of the battle line. Certainly the lnde-
pendents of both parties must share
this feeling. So far az we are con-
cerned we prefer brave adversary to
a coward.
Bob Taylor never did help the forces
of good government. He has never
espoused our cause. He owed his cleo
ton very largely to those who support
ed the Patterson ticket and q sense
of obligation If not conviction OF the
righteousness of the cause should have
commanded his services when that
faction was being sorely pressed. The
truth about the matter is that Bob
TAYLOR now has no crowd. He gangs
all by himself The Patterson machine
may be wiling to use him but they
cannot love him
His appeal for harmony will fall on
deaf ears. The Democrats who won4
the glorious victory of August and
who expect to carry this contest to
still more glorious consumation on
Nov. 8, have no cause to follow Rob /
Taylor. On the contrary they should
and will view with suspicion any pro-
posals that he may make. The peo-
pie of Tennessee never did admire
coward and they are not going to be
led by one in this hour Of the States
need.

ence of the County Court Clerk OF Da-

The law makes 1t the duty of the
county court clerk to issue distress
warrants for the collection of State
and county liquor license from all per-
sons who have United States license
or special tax receipt as It is called,
There are several hundred holders OF
these licenses in Nashville. 1t would
be nothing worthy of particular men,
ton that the clerk performed his du-
ty and issued these warrants as re-
ouired by the statute we're II not for
the fact that at this time in Tonnes
see there are so many high officials
who have scant regard for the sancti-
ty OF their oaths and who are often re-
miss In the performance Of plain du-

But the clerk Of Davidson county
took the Law at its face value. He had
taken an oath tn observe and enforce
the law and he evidently possesses
some old fashioned IDEAS about oaths
and duty. He easily ascertained who
had federal licenses In Nashville.
Anyone eau do that by visiting the
custom Office in Nashville. Having
secured the list he issued distress
warrants. There was no child's play.

the licenses and the clerk had them
