Of all the Republican papers in the state noted for their

representation of Democratic nominees and for their brutal
and offensive assaults upon highly respected and high

The Progress is known throughout the limits of its

whether it is really printed from type the vile and
fea matter which weekly its pages could only be pac

The Progress is the Hooper through which

1t is utterly useless attempt engage in fair and leg
timae discussion with the contemplate sheet with the
sene old fool who thinks he is some punkins in his limited
sphere and whose egotism boundess the air he
breathes He totally devoid of and sense
and understands nothing coureses and amenities due

While its patron saint the Nashville Banner is merely "a
fool about Hooper, the Progress absolutely crazy about
him. and enamored and obsessed with B. Wade Hooper is
the editor of the Progress that he would if convenient kiss

The Partisan replied to pusanimous little squb in the
Progress The writer might have known that the Progress
would not attempt to meet argument with argument but that
the and vicious sheet would upon statement of
plain fact to hur abusive and offensive ephets
at Democratic candidate Democratic principle
and he might have known further that any word casually
ng the record of Hooper would in the mind of Progress
editor be regarded as les majestic sacrilege
So the Progress launches forth in TRADE of ablse direct
ed at Tom Rye, describing him handmade regular Dem.
ocrac standard bearer and nsnuates nay declares that
he has right therefore to claim executive business
ability"
No sir no Democratic candidate for Office has any right to
claim sort of ability responsibility riding to
Booze Bilious Barry especially he opposes Angel Ren He
will tell you that AN Democrat so presumpuous is crooked
controlled by CROOKS by the criminal element He said
it about Taylor and he said it about MMn and he declares
without fear of successful contradiction that Tom Rye if
elected would be controlled by the criminal whisky element
Now, that's what Bilious says about it.
And when the Progress made that statement it knew that
it was LYING MISERABLY and MALICIOUSLY. Why?
the first place. he says has known Tom Rye for many
If that be true he knows that Tom Rye not the kind
of man to be controlled by ANYBODY guided by other
than his duty under his OATH his duty to his country his fam
lily and his God The editor of The Progress knows Tom Ryes
record as attorney general In that position Booze Bilious
know well and good that he has been controlled by
the criminal whisky element he has been faithful to
his trust that he has prosecuted without fear favor all
maeactors in high places low places If he has kept the
faith in that position why should he besmrch
honorable and good by being controlled by the
vicious and criminal Oh but you he under obligations
to that element. YOU KNOW THAT'S FALSE ALSO Tom
Rye received his nomination from the hands of the unsud
unapproachabe country Democracy of Tennessee They stood
by him with an unwaverng loyalty and they carried his ban
and at the last hour the fighting Democracy of
the cities ocked to his standard and his nomination made
unanimous. No fought cleaner fight for the no-
naon for Governor than did Tom Rye and if he under OBJ
legations to anybody it is to the of toll in the rural dis
rcs the boys in the trenches who worked night and day for
his success.
Tom Rye made promises no trades no compromises:
but we don't he had received the solid support the
criminal element he is too big man. too brave man. too
true himself and to his people have made any compro-
mise with dishonor in order to obtain the nomination. and
even Bilious Barry KNOWS IN HIS HEART if he has one
that Tom Rye WILL NEVER VIOLATE HIS PLATFORM
PLEDGES NOR HIS OATH OF OFFICE. Bilious himself
angel child that he is says he kindly feelings for
Tom Rye Hell either telling lie about this too else he
has most remarkable way of showing his kindly feelings
