State were bitter. Two. years before
Hon. H. Clay Evans of Chattanooga
was elected Governor by the Repub-

Hon. Peter Turney, the Democratic

was declared Governor by a Demo

These were some of the things that
confronted the Democracy of Tennes-
zee when Gov Taylor was called on
the third time to save the State. He
was then in the zenith of his public
career as a lecturer, and consequently
said mo" to the urgent call. So
anxious were they that the Demo
cratic leaders sent committee to
him. They found him in Wisconsin.
He refused. Then another went to
see him in Michigan, and still an
other sought him in the far North
west. He held out stubborGIy that
he would never again enter politics,
Things in Tennessee became so criti-
cal that still another committee
sought him out in Texas.
Come to Tennessee, Gov Taylor,
they urged upon him cor the Demo
cratic party is gone.7 With this plea
they assured him of success and prom
ised to send him to the United States
Senate at the conclusion of his term
as Chief Executive and keep him
there for life.

War of the Roses Unique in Politics.

Senator Tayors second appearance
in the political arena was in 1884 as
Presidential elector from the State
at-large. Two years later he made
his famous canvass for Governor Of
Tennessee against his brother ALT
and won. This canvass between the
Taylor brothers was the most re-
markable race in the history of Ten
nessee. It has gone down in history

at the head of long and separate pos

that time there were no special issues

canvass was but little less thrilling
