the irony of it is that the only way
that could be found was, the most
malicious of all, a compact with Gov
ernor Patterson to enter the raea
for the Senate to succeed Mr.. Lea.
Senator Lea not only fought his
way to the front with Senate reform,
but he was leader on the floor Of the
Senate in charge of the Ship-pw-
chase bill, for which he has been ac-
cused of perfidy. and by consent was
paired to come to Tennessee to visit
an aged invalid father. His absence
did not interfere with the success of
that bill. He was the author of
measure to protect the price of grain
for the farmer and others which, Mr..
Hannah said we would hear about
more fully when Senator Lea himself
speaks here in Union City at the
opera house next Tuesday Afternoon,

Gov. Patterson's Speech.

Gov. Patterson spoke at the opera
house after we went to press last week.
The Governors audience was large
enc, nearly filling the opera house.
He was introduced by Rev. Roger
L. Clark, this city. He seemed some
what fatigued from the campaign, but
spoke for an hour or more. In defense
Of his record in Congress, about which
so much has been said, he showed that
there was large Republican majority
in the House and very little opportunity
for Democratic member to secure the
passage of bill, but he was the author
of bill abolishing slavery in the Philip
pine Islands, reported favorably by the
committee, passed and approved by the
President. He made tariff speech

For Alderman.

In this issue of The Commercial
will be found the formal announce
ment of John F. Semones, Alderman
who offers his name to the voters
of Union City for reelection.
Mr.. Semones has been member
of the board three terms-six years
has proven valuable man, giving
the city conservative, honest, bust
ness-like service at all times. He is
one of the towns solid citizens and
displays a keen interest in municipal
affairs. Has served on various COM
naittees and at present is chairman
OF the Water and Light Committee.
Daring the present term his depart
ment has expended $4,000 on the
plant and contemplates spending
about the same amount during the
next two years, which will make the
plant practically new, the best and
most modern country plant in the
State. The net profits now amount
TO more than $1,000 per month, and
with the modern equipment recently
added the expense of handling the
increased business is considerably
less than for the smaller business of
a few years ago. He is the head of
the fire department, and weather is
never too bad, the night too dark
for John Semones to be on the job.
Consider his candidacy.

General Hannah said that he had
no criticism of Governor Patterson's
conversion. This is a matter be-
tween God and man, but when that
man uses his religion as a political
asset he is disappearing the name of
God. Saul of Tarsus was as corrupt
probably as Governor Patterson, but
the Apostle did not use his religion
to enter the political councils of his
country. He gave his service to God
for the conversion of souls.
General Hannah referred to ,Sena-
tor Lea's record in Congress
with a glowing tribute. The Senator
had not been member of that body
four years until he unsheathed his
sword and to the CONSERVATION of
those mighty colleagues scattered the
money changers and drove from the
Senate the notorious political buck
ster, VIM. Lorimer. No wonder then
that the big interests cast about for
a way to destroy Senator Lea, but

Patterson also referred to his record as
Governor, claiming credit for the abol-
ishment of the old school director sys-
tenn, extension of the public schools,
and addition of three Normal Schools
in the State.
The Governor devoted very little time
to Senator Lea, but the latter part of
his speech was directed to discussion
of Mr.. Mcclellan and the issues between
them; which we will not endeavor to
present for the reason that the argu-
ment has already been fairly well ven-
tilated.

Gen. Harvey Hannah Speaks.

Gen. Harvey Hannah spoke to a
crowd of about two hundred at the
courthouse last Tuesday in the in
terest of SenatoraLea for reelection.
General Hannah claimed that his in
terests as layman in the campaign
were justified by the action of the
State committee in calling a snap
primary. He plead with the COM
mittee to defer the primary until
party differences healed and the
county Democratic committees were
recognized in the election of Demo-
cratic candidates. Only one primary
OF this character had ever been called
before in Tennessee, and that was
when Governor Patterson was a can
didate for reelection.
General Hannah was escorted from
the train to the courthouse here by
a committee as follows:
Hon. Rice A. Pierce, DR.. F.. M.
McRee, D. P. Caldwell, ]. A. Hefiey,
S. F. Howard, George Darnell, D. A.
Peeler, A. H. Briggs, DR.. G. B. Bur
rus, j. F. Kersey and Austin Maupin.
Hon. Rice A. Pierce introduced Gen.
Hannah, saying:
II will not make speech in intro
duction of our speaker, for he needs
no introduction to the people of Ten
nessee. You all know him, and to
know him is to love him. He comes
to you in the interest of the senior
Senator from Tennessee. 1 take
pleasure in presenting to you Gen.

Gen. Hannah, after making a few
remarks in regard to the pleasure it
afforded him to again come to Obion
County, proceeded to answer the
charge made by Gov. Patterson in
his speech at Winchester that Gen.
Hannah, Senator Swaney Webb and
George Berry were being hired by
Senator Lea to make speeches for
him, saying that as for himself he
