Governor Patterson, of Tennessee, means business, as some of that State will find out before he is done with them. Ygu Democrats who are not going to vote for Bryan should remember that to refrain from doing ,so is to cast half a vote for the nominee of the Republican party. Every Democrat in the State should! go to the polls day after tomorrow and vote the full ticket That's the only way to show 'yourself to be a true and genuine Democrat Vice Presidential Candidate Sher man has not any time just now to be making accusations of graft against the Democratic national candidates. He is kept busy trying to clear his own record. Is it because Bryan, eight-and-twelve years ago, advocated certain measures you did not endorse good reason why you should help elect the Republican candidate7 who stands on a platform of today that you do riot and mo Democrat can endorse? You Democrats who are thinking about not voting for Bryan gve the whole political situation, careful con sideration today and tomorrow. If you do so we believe you will come to the conclusion that it is your duty to yote for him. The Daily States newspaper, of New Orleans, announces that it has raised over twentyone thousand dol lars by popular subscriptions for the Bryan campaign fund. This is an evidence of the great interest the peo ple are taking in Bryan's election. What absurdity for the Republicans to try to make it appear that Rocke feller pretends to be for Taft in order to injure his chances. Roosevelt ought to have sense enough to know that the whole country understands the object of that "official declaration" of his on the subject According to the Republicans, " ex cept those who are really scared about the outcome of the election, the Demo crats will stand no show at all dn next Tuesday; but it will be found that the scared ones are much nearet right than' those ,trho put on an. ap pearance of exjtrenie confidence. .

The Tidewater Power Company "has arranged for' special cars and every precaution has been taken by the Elks to see that the best order is maintain ed on the grounds. A special commit tee of 25Elks have been named as a "vigilance committee" to see that no untoward word or act is used to mar the perfect success of the entire affair. Mayor Springer yesterday issued orders to the police to strictly i enforce the law in regard to the throw ing of confetti on the streets. He has given special instructions in regard to what is known as the "confetti bomb." which is held to be dangerous to the eyesight' and a positive nui sance. Of course, confetti will" be used on the grounds but none will be tolerated on the streets 5 and the "bombs" will be barred from the grounds as a danger to people. FUNERAL OF MR. REGISTER.
