OOUNTT. t
As , ehairman of. the Democratic
party I feel it my duty to call your
attention to a few facts. . -'-
There has never been a time within
my knowledge when the entire-party
of thev county was as solid as at this
time. We have no family quarrels in
our own party and the only desire on
the part ox any voter, is to elect the
Demoeratie ticket at the coming elec
tion. - The ticket which our convention
put out on July 2, meets with .uni
versal approval. There will be leu
scratching this year ttan was ever
known, because all interests are. rep
resented on the ticket. The Interest
of the farmer is well represented, so is
tne interest pi the manufacturer and
the operatives. No interest has been
neglected and if you will examine the
ticket yon will find that every section
of the county has been given itsdue
representation. '
Another peculiarity about the ticket
is, that about one half . of the men
nominated were not even applicants
for office,- thereby showing to you the
nominations sought tne men, and not
the men the nominations. - As an evi
dence of the interest which the Demo
crats are taking in the coming elec
tion, it is only necessary to call your
attention to tne fact that' in No. 2
township, in the election of 1908, Bry
an only received 78 votes, (while the
other day at the primaries, there were
50 present. It does not make any dif
ference who the republicans nominate
at their convention, every one knows
that they cannot nominate any better
ticket than the one nominated by our
convention. With the universal good
feeling (which prevail in our ranks, I
do not bestitate to go on record and
predict that the returns at the elec
tion wjll show a substantial Demo
cratic majority, v

Bob Taylor Backs Out
Saying that he sees with dismay that
the Democracy of Tennessee is roab
ing madly to destruction through the
bitter dissensions, Senator Robert
Taylor Saturday gave out a statement
withdrawing his promise to stump the
State in the interest of Governor M.
R. Patterson 's regular organisation
judiciary ticket. The Senator says
this action is taken because bo cannot
inflict his advice where it is rejected
in advance.
Senator Taylor has agreed to speak
in behalf of Patterson and bis judici
ary ticket This anouneement arous
ed a storm of protest from friends of
the Senator who said they did ' not
care to bear bim on that subject.
Governor Patterson's pardon of CoL
Duncan Cooper, who was convicted
with his son, Robin Cooper, of the
murder of former Senator E..W. Car
mack, is one of the subjects of the fac
tional difference in the Democracy of
the State. .

wound that was considered moat in
significant at the time, but which
was cauterized as a precautionary ,
measure, o-year-old Tommio Dennis
died in great agony in Bellevue Hoo-
pital in New York Saturday. Anes
thetics sufficient in quantity to bavo
quieted strong men were administered
but they had little effect. When the
child died his father and mother, sit
ting in an adjoining room, their hearts
rent with agony at their boy 'a
screams, simply said :
"Thank God."
The boy 's father is a livery stable
proprietor. Thursday night when ho
came home the child complained of
nausea. Friday morning . bo was
worse, his eyes were unnatural and
when he heard water running bo
went into convulsions. He was (hur
ried to the hospital, but it was too
late to check the dread malady.
