ApLAI {. STEVENSON.

The death Of former Vice Presi
dent Adlai E. Stevenson at the ad
vanced age of seventy-nine recalls
the politics Of the stirring Cleveland
period. Stevenson was the running
mate of Grover Cleveland in 1892
when the democratic party won
probably its most notable victory in
the history of the nation. At, that
time the republican party had not
divided into two parties as was the
case in 1912. But the election was SO
complete victory that the democra-
tic party was swept into control
of the presidency and both houses of
congress for the first time since
March A, 1859.
Stevenson was an appointee OF
Cleveland during the latter first ad-
ministration and became very popular
with organization democrats because
of the zeal with which he turned
fourth class republican postmasters
out Of Office and put democrats in
their places. Before that time he
had served two terms in congress
and was recognized as man OF abil-
ity and unquestioned integrity. Be-
ing native Of the South, Kentucky
claiming him, he always manifested
the most cordial sympathy for this
section and was intensely popular
with the democrats of Dixie. When
he was nominated on the ticket with
Clevland in 1892 there were very few
democrats who believed that he
would swing the rock ribbed repup-
lican state + Illinois to the demo
cracy. but he did, Cleveland carrying
the state by over 10000.
It is a singular fact that Cleveland's
three running mates came from the
adjoining states Of Ohio, Indiana and
Illinois, all Of those states casting
their ballots for the Cleveland
Stevenson ticket in 1892. In Cleye-
lands first race his associate was
Hendricks, of Indiana, one OF the
great Northern democrats Of the post
war period. Four years later when
the party went to defeat his nominee
for vice president was Allen G. Thur
man, the modest Roman Of them
all" as he was affectionately called.
Thurman had been senator from
Ohio for twelve years and was one
of. the devoted friends Of the South
during the days that tried mems
souls" The South should never, can
never forget the debt of gratitude
that It owes to men like Adlai Steven
son and Tom Hendricks and Allen G.
Thurman.
Stevenson rendered his country
good service. No faint Of suspicion of
wrong doing ever attached to his
name There win be genuine regret
at his passing although he was
spared to a ripe old age.

APPEALS 70 PREJUDICE.

y
It is stated that Judge Sam G vii
liams will carry Shelby county in
August We hope this is true. II
would be very gratifying indeed II
Justice Williams received majority
in the state SO large and SO emphatic
that never again would we see an at.
tempt made to elect a partisan and
political judiciary in Tennessee I'm
questionably there are thousands of
democrats in Tennessee who do not
approve the action Of their recent
convention in naming candidate
against Judge Williams and WHO will
vote for him.
But the announcement from Mem
phis will be disconcerting, we fancy,
to many Of the political prohibition
lists who are supporting Williams. In
their eyes no good can come out OF
Shelby county, forgetting the fact
that in 1911 it was finally Shelby
county that saved us the election
law and two years later elected our
state officers and one senator, and
these will probably see their ardor
for Williams perceptibly cool. All
of which illustrates the rot and insin-
cerity III politics. The idea that be-
cause some men or some section,
whom we do not like, should drive
us from the support Of any man or
is utterly ridiculous and yet
that is the gospel that certain pro-
fessed disciples Of prohibition are
preaching today.
Judge Williams, like any other
man, will welcome. support
from any source in his candidacy for
reelection. He would have bes. glad
had no candidate been namen against
him. Not so with some of the pro
fessed friends of good government in
Tennessee. They were actually
afraid that Burrow would not be nam
ed, because, they said, Burrows
would help Hooper. In
other words they think more OF graft
ying the inordinate ambition Of
some selfish place seeking politician
han they do Of the principles to
which they confess the most ardent
devotion. Some of these days may
be our political campaigns will wit
ness real appeals to reason and not
efforts to infiame the passions of
men.

When the fight was transferred to
the floor of the senate the opposition
to the president was led by Senator
O'Gorman chairman Of the committee
to WHOM the repeal att was referred;
the contest was long drawn out.
Desperate efforts have been made to
arouse the prejudice of the people by
demagogic appeals and by vigorous
twisting of the British lions tail.
Where the question has been Z put
squarely up to the people however,
the president has generally won.
His triumph under all the circum-

Florida primaries.
