Garrett, the candidate for the Sen- Did Cleveland do so for him? But ate, and Charles II. Love, the can- they say he must yield to the be- auiate tor the House, were nomina- bests of his party. Did Mr. Cleve- aiter vney Had declared upon land do so. even while he was eier- j the stump that they were for the re- cising the functions of the chief eiecuon ot benator Bate, and the magistrate of .the nation? Well, same is true of Mr. McKenzie, who you might say that was the reason, Democratic Nominees. Sheriff S. T. SMITH. Tbuste T. F. BISHOP. The next representative from Hardeman county must come out openly and promise to vote for Sen ator Bate, and he must carry out that promise. Senator Bate lost Davidson County, but he has carried several other counties since the primary was held there.- His friends -are now on their mettle. The democrats of Hardeman coun ty are called to meet in mass con vention here Saturday to send dele gates to the Congressional conven tion to be held in Memphis. Hobsox can sink ships, but he cannot defeat a good man for office. He made a mistake in opposing, Bankhead, who was renominated for Congress in Alabama Monday by a safe majority, as he should have been. The counties of Haywood, liar demau and Chester, which compose this Floterial District, have all in dorsed Senator Bate. The nominee of the convention, which meets in Bolivar in August next, must pledge himself to vote for Bate. Me. Senter has withdrawn from the race for Railroad Commissioner. He had a majority of the vote of West Tennessee, which section of the state is, by consent, entitled to the office, but Enloe manipulated matters. in the other divisions in ad vance of West Tennessee's action. The republicans are compelled to make a showing. They have nomi nated a candidate for Governor, Mr. Littleton. Also, a candidate for Congress from this district, Mr. Matthews, of Memphis, formerly of East Tennessee. Both will be defeated. The Twenty-sixth Senatorial District, is composed of the counties of Benton, Decatur, Hardin, liar deman and McNairy. Only on county in the district, Benton, has indorsed Benton McMillin (on ac count of the name, perhaps.) De catur county will hold a primary in August to decide the Senatoria question. The other counties have spoken for Bate. The Senato from this district, if he respects the will of the majority, will vote for Bate. BATE AHEAD. From Nashville American. Speaking of the reHult of the pri mary election in Davidson Couuty, one ot Senator bate s supporters at his headquarters said: "We ha great confidence in the result of the primary and thought we were entire ly lustihed by all the circumstances and the expressions given out by the citizens of the county, believing that the county would instruct for Gen. Bate. Occurrences took place, however, which changed the result from that which was anticipated These might well be discussed with considerable force, but it is not necessary to do so now. It was hard lought battle, the opposition being very strongly organized. The general result is that Mr. McMillin has carried the county and will re ceive its votes. We will look at it as the matter now stands: "Six Senatorial districts have in structed for Senator Bate as follows: The Second, Twelfth, Fourteenth, Twenty-sixth, Twenty-ninty, and Thirty-first. He has received in structions in the Second, Fourteenth Twentieth, Twenty-fourth, Twenty fifth, and Twenty-sixth Floterial Districts- This gives him twelve votes from the Senatorial and Flo terial Districts. Bate has recaived positive instructions in the follow ing counties which have Representa tives proper in the General Assem bly: Crockett, Dyer, Fayette, Haw kins, Haywood, Hardeman, Lauder dale, Lawrence, McNairy, Monroe, Overton, Rutherford, Sullivan, Sumner and Tipton, a total of fif teen. This added to the above twelve gives the Senator twenty- seven votes in the caucus to which he can safely claim a perfect title. Now in addition he has three votes upon which he can count with per fect safety. In the twelfth Senato rial District, composed of the counties of Maury, Lewis, and Per ry, Mr. Schubert, the nominee of Lewis County, which is entitled to the Senator, was elected as an avow ed Bate .supporter, and he has been was April 7 nominated in Henry county for Senator. There have been no instructions direct noon the Senatorial question as yet in the two counties and it is therefore proper that these four votes should be counted for Bate. Including the four votes just referred to, Senator Bate has now thirty one votes al ready nominated or instructed. --111 01 ine counties above en . ,1 T" umbiaieu are iemocrauc, ana in addition the following counties which are Republican or doubtful have instructed- for Seuator Bate Koaue, Carter, Washington, Ham blen and Bradley. It is very pro bable that Washigton County wil elect a Democrat this year, as it has been carried by Gen. Bate in former campaigns. Cheatham County, which is in the fluterial district with Robertson and Williamson, will iu all probability be conceded the Representative this year, in which event Gen. Bate will receive that vote, as Cheatham County instruct eu tor him. Adding all his votes together, the 27 absolutely certaiu, the 4 where decided preferences have been expressed by the people but no instructions given, and the other two wbereTiis chances are ex celleut, and he has a total of 33 votes. "Outside of Davidson Mr. Mc Millin has only four vo'es certain These, added to Davidson give him 13- lientou Couuty, which he car ned, only shares in a vote with Decatur. Knox County, -where six votes are claimed, is being warmly contested by citizens there; and, be sides that, it only has three direct Representatives and a Senator, whilst it shares two other votes with other counties which are for Bate. But even should he get 6 votes there, Mr. McMillin would have only 19, agaiust the 33 for Bate. - "Should there be 100 Democrats in the next Legislature, then 51 would be a majority of the caucus lien. 13ate is now only 18 votes short of that number, on the basis above, stated. "There remain a sufficient num ber of Democratic counties which have not yet acted (but most o which will act next August) to elect 46 or 50 additional members of the Democratic caucus. If the number to be elected be 48, then Mr. Mc Millin in order to win, must get 32 of them. Even should he already have 19 now, which is disputed, Senator Bate will be elected if he gets only 18 more votes than he ap pears to have pledged at present. "These members, not yet indi cated, must jorae from the follow ing counties: Franklin, Moore, Bedford, Coffee, White, Putnam, Wilson, Jackson, Houston, Stewart, Dickson, Montgomery, Hickman, Maury, Giles, Williamson, Lincoln, Marshall, Cannon, DeKalb, Lake, Greene, Hamilton, Gibson, Henry, Madison, Obion, Weakley and Shelby. Out of these, to be elected. Bate must get f8 and McMillin 32 1 here was a jubilant crowd at Gen. Bate's headquarters Saturday night when the returns from the Lincoln-Marshall primaries came in. this is i be first primary held since Senator Bate's defeat in Davidson County and was naturally very gratifying to his supporters, who claim that it proves that the result in this county will have the opposite effect from what was claimed by the opposition. They now insist that instead of their candidate's failure to carry this county luiuring his chances it has really proved a bless- ng in disguise, as it has stirred l is friends to greater activity and they are more than ever determined that the old soldier shall be returned to the Senate. It was stated at Gen. Bate's headquarters that the result of Saturday's election added four votes to his column increasing his vote, so it is claimed, to 37. Both Lincoln and Marshall have a repre sentative proper and together - com pose the Nineteenth Senatorial District. Lincoln County is in the floterial district with Bedford and Moore counties, neither ot which lave acted upon the Senatorial question, but both are claimed for Bate, hence the statement that Sat urday's victory will add four votes to his list. nut did he in 1900 when he stood for himself only? Now, if Mr. Bryan be guilty, Mr. Cleveland is doubly so on that score. What is there so obnoxious about' the Kan sas City platform that democrats should be ashamed of it? The present-administration is trying to expand the currency in every con ceivable way outside of free silver, by giving greater scope to the bank ers, by issuauce on the U. S. bonds deposited , of national currency to the amount of their face value, by the assistant curreucy scheme, etc., for its pet money barons. Any thing except the bug bear free sil ver to give volume to the currency sufficient for the demands of trade ouarae tor the democratic party that it should thus retrench ! Be cause it bad been beaten once. twice or forty times, if the dictum be right stand to it though the heav ens fall. Or is imperialism right? Do we have to confess that the United States has a right to subju gate every pettv kingdom or repuo lie far and near that is weaker thau she? Are there good and bad trusts, and shall we give way to their encroachments until all com petition is a uselesB factor in the commodities of the world, for fear we might strike down one of the good trusts? Is tariff for revenue only a subterfuge, introduced mere ly to catch votes, injected into our party to render us different from the republican party t JNo, it is right; it is for the protection of the poor and needy against the pamper ed manufactories and monopolies Government by injunction Is -it a thing to be desired, not to be ad judged by our peers, but to be es topped by the restraining force of one man, if we are legion? These are some of the planks inserted in the Kansas City platform, enunciat ed Dy tne democratic party in na tional conveution assembled: Auti- impen.alism, anti-trust and monopo lies, free silver at ratio of 16 to 1, and tariff for revenue only. These or at least some of them were what fiightened Cleveland so that be aligned himself to another party and threw the force of his adminis tration in 1890 against the free sil ver plank, and in 1900 himself against all, as set forth iu the Kan sas City platform. - Now Mr. Bry an must kiss the feet of the vice gerent of democracy in the person of Grover Cleveland and ask his forgiveness for his presumptious sins and for the sins of the six mil lions A'ho followed him astray. Oh, take us back under your fatherly wing, for you are the personifica tion of true democracy! We have been so undutiful and churlish to ward him who knoweth thb right way! We believed, free silver to be right i i 1890 and talked it and preached it as weli as Mr. Bryau. If we were wrong then, we may be wrong in any of our deliverances. Then what is the use of aliguing ourselves to any party if we advo cated a thing so absurd and foolish as some say free silver is now. If free silver be absurd and foolish, I have no hope for the democratic party any more; nor any respect for uy political opinion on auy tenet, for we had more light by the best debaters of erudite statesmanship on that one subject thau auy other in the scope of my memory. So if were mistaken iu that instance, I surrender to the powers that be aud contend no longer. P. II. McKinnie. Hickory Valley, Tenu. bright little children blest this un ion, the oldest a boy of seven, the two youngest little girls In the nine short years of her married life we had the pleasure of being in her company and'her home a great deal and was eo deeply bound to her by the strongest ties of affection that we can truthfully say that we knew Rosie well, and to know her was to love her. She was a true, earnest christian, having joined the Meth odist church several years ago. She was a kind, gentle and affec tionate wile, a devoted mother, al ways trying to train her children in the right way; she was kind and sympathetic, never spoke ill of any one, and tried to make those around her happy. If there was one char acteristic of her life more promi-j uent than aifather, it was that of J thoughtfuluess of and kindness to! those in distress. Ministering to the wants and needs of the unfortu nate was her greatest delight. So the hearts that are bowed down in sorrow be comforted with this thought: that Rosie dreaded not death but bravely met its cold em brace with the sweetest smiles. Al ways remember the sweet influence of her life, an' rejoice that heaven has higher and nobler atti action than earth. To the heart broken husband, who with the watchful oare of two physicians, and the helping hands of many frierds, did everything;, he could to save hei from death, look away from the pale face asyou saw her last, and ceuter your thought on the happy reunion you will have on the other shore. And the three little chil dren, who begged so pitifully . at the grave for their mother to be carried back home, may they live to the age that they can understand and realize why death is, and may they be so reared that they may be prepared to meet their mother in the better home, where suffering and 'sorrow are unknown, where there will be no more parting and never a tear drop fall.

Corn planting is n progress, and the soil is working nicely; it is thought that a large area will be plauted this season. Wheat is improving very fast and j generally looking well. Spring oats are .growing oil well; grass and clover are in fine condition. A large acreage will be planted iu cot ton, also in tobacco this year. Gar dens are late.
