LAST WORK OF
SUPREME COURT

Nashville, Tenn, Aug. 9.-The last
session of the present supreme court
was held here Monday afternoon and
the only thing done was TO refuse a
rehearing of the caseSof lands against
the Cumberland Telephone company
and to re-elect II. ID. Marshall as mar
shall of the court and to turn down Ben
Carr, the colored messenger.
The latter has gained considerable
prominence in politics, and, while he
was looked upon as an administration
man, he contended that he worked and
voted for the old court, but this did
not help him any. The defeat of Carr
was decidedly the feature of the ses-
sion.
1t was reported that Maj. Vetress
and other independents went before
the court this morning and fought hard
against his reappointment.
Chief Justice Beard said that all I'M
decided cases would go over and would
have to be reargued before the next
court.

Is Partially Verified

New York, Aug, 10.-Mayor Gaynor
continued to hold his own this after
noon, and while his physicians have
not pronounced him out of danger they
hope an operation to remove the two

sary.

nor is going to get his soon.n
Mayor Gaynor has been active in

James j. Gallagher, the discharged
dock employe who shot the mayor, has
been placed under constant guard.
Fearing he may attempt suicide, his
belt and suspenders have been taken
from him and he is denied the use of a
knife and fork, being fed with spoon.
A consultation of physicians over
Mayor Gaynor was held this morning
after which the following bulletin was
issued:

do well. 1t is the unanimous opinion
of the surgeons that no operation is
necessary at this time. (Signed.)

The claim is made that a fair election
was held in Greene county because the
entire republican ticket was elected. If
this is the result of a fair election, how
do you suppose Jim Allen was ever
elected in that county? He is the cleo

who helped elect him are now acting
with him for honest(?) elections. DO
you suppose they have forgotten their
cunning?. If this was an honest elec-
ton, we pity the others.

IN PATTERSON
COMPLETE
BELIEVED HE
CAN WIN
BOILERS CLAIM OTHERWISE
And are Determined to Eliminate
Patterson from Politics Re-
CARELESS of Consequences.
BOILERS CLAIM OTHERWISE

Nashville, Aug. 9-There is no re-
duction of the figures given out by the
independent headquarters tonight from
those sent last night. The majorities
for the Independent ticket will foot up
to 0,000, as claimed by Chairman V9r-
trees.
What the effect ON Gov. Patterson's
campaign for reelection will be no one
can foretell. The impression here is
that he will win despite the adverse
vote of Thursday. But the wiseacres
shake their heads. Patterson's friends
say he can count on 5000 in Shelby
and an equal majority in Davidson,
and that many of the men who voted
for the independent Judiciary will vote
for Patterson in November. Others
say that the die is cast; that Patterson
must be eliminated and that they will
never be content until he is.
Some democrats point to the great
sacrifice the party is making in the eff
forts of faction to get clear of the
governor. These men contend that
but for the turmoil over the judicial
ticket, the democrats would have elect
ed chancellor, circuit judge and
criminal judge, and attorney general
in Knox. They also point to the stu
alton in the Eighth chancery division,
where, if Mccall is declared the winner
over Bullock, clerks and masters of
the republican party will be appoint
ed by Mccall.

Democracy Pays Price

This, they say, is pretty stiff price
to pay for the triumph of the independ-
ent state judicial ticket.
If the republicans, through the pres
ent combination and because of the
success of the Independent judicial
ticket, get the governor and all that
goes with the office, the undoing of the
democratic party will be regretted by
the very men who have brought about
present conditions.
The situation is certainly perilous
for the democratic party. If Patter-
son is defeated by republican, under
the present election law, the solid
south may be broken in the presiden-
tial election of 1912. The democrats
are keenly alive to the situation, ana
even some of the independent leaders
are inclined to put on their thinking
CAPS.

the Daily Comet is subscribed for

oers of your family.
