Taylor, of Washington county, was nominated yesterday as the Democratic candidate for Governor of Tennessee. The unnatural ami unusual speotacle of two brothers opposing each other for a position so exallod will present a repulsive tableau to all who cherish the hallowed momories of chlldhojd, home and mother. But if the Republicans can stand a contact so unseomly, so can the Democrats. East Tennessee claimed the honor of furnishing the candidate lor Governor, a claim which was con ceded by Democrats In Middle and East Tennessee, the two sections which furnished the Democratic candidates for Governor tor thirty-one years, since 1865 when Andrew Johnson was elected. And as Bob Taylor made brilliant canvass for Cleveland in 1884, he was regarded by the conven tion as the most available man and as entitled to the honor to which he as pired. As an ad captandum speaker Mr. Taylor has no equal In the country. He is popular with the ma sis and es pecially with the young men of his party. 1 1 s will arouse great enthusl- aam.make a brilliant caavass.and there can be no question as to his election by a majority equal to that by which the Democratic candidates for Bu preme Court Judges have just been elected. Having been made the candidate of the party, the ArriAL will give him a cordial support and la bor sealous'y for his election. The voice of the convention is the voice of majority of the Democratic party. It is our voice. We accept the nomi nation without reserve. The Democ racy of Toonessee has said that it wants Col. Taylor to be tho Chief Mag istrate of the 8Ute, and hs will oertaln ly be elected to that high and honora ble position, and he will have evory Incentive to make a usjful, brilliant, popular liovernor. The party has now embarked in tho canvass lor Novem ber. The political sky is bright, but we must no', lose sight of possible dan gum. We must stand together as we did in the recent county elections and for Supreme Court judges, as one mnn, and vict iry wl 1 again perch u oon our banners. THE TIDAL WAVE. O i the day ol the recent Tennes ecu elcc'.lons, a D.-uiocratic ' tidal wave duhig'id the R nubile in party. and in every section of the State the ofllvo seekers, liiaMng upon rails im provised I-r the occasion, are fighting in oquitws in the dismal swamps and chirping like so tunny spring toads: Fraud! Faud11 FRAUD!!! and to brink the msnotony occasionally a b'g, Independent bull frog chimes in, snd In deap ba-sbsllowj, Fr-a-u d a-h I The dtleatol aspi-aaU ought to sub nvtt )ihe res lit with more pbiloeopby. "It h only little weak minds tint cry over skilled milk whine over defeat. In 1K72 ths Djoiocutic majority In T.ninasje was reduced 30,000. The Democrat did not a'.ttibule ths retu't to fraud, bu'.t) the mijtnke of nomi nating Horace Greeley. In the elec ts is of 1880 Ga Odd came now carry. Ing the S a e over Uaacoek. The reault wai Inezp'ictb'e, aourpriie to Demo crat!, but they dil not teir thtir hair and whine frail 1. li 1881 the Repul lictna ma le Wrje gains. Cleveland's majority was only 8000 and Bate'a majority 1(bs thtn 4000. The Domo frits diJ not charge the result to friui, but tJ the opposition of tho r.ilroad Icluonc4 on account of the platform. In 1878 a tidal wave swept over Shelby county, oo which the la- deptndenti and Republicans rode into cfl'ue by a majority nearly equal to tba' achieved by fio Democrats in tbe reeeiit election. There was now frantic howt ot fraud on the part of Democrats. They attributed the result to th! ccrrect causa, a split in the party and a weak ticket. Tbe tabit of the Rpublirans and Independ tuts of Tennessee of charging fraud on!y when they are defeated is shame ful ; it Is acand.lous, it is disgraceful. Why don't they imitate tbe example of Democrats by submitting to the re sult philosophically, Instead of s'an daring ..honest man by . howling fraud T In 1880 a Republican candl data for Congrats commenced bis can vas by charging fraud on the Demo crats. Ha was summoned before the grand jury, and his evidence proved him a common slanderer. Mempbis is lln trading center for an immense scope of country, and if our people are perjured villains, bae enough to csrry elections by fraud, our busi ness men will be regarded ss no betttr, and thus the trade of Memphis will be damiged. The grand jury for Shelby county will be orgaoized in September, and a rigid investigation should be made. Those who charge fraud aod intimidation should ba summoned and a searching Investiga tion made of all the fact!. This is j int to the defeated candidates and due to the community and the men who held the election. THE rUFLI A BIO THE PBESI DEBIT. Every Democratic State Convention held during the year has given the administration of President Cleveland a hearty, unqualified and entbnsiastic indorsement. On Wednesday the Democracy of Tennessee and Indiana spoke in no nncertain voice In ap proval of ' the administration Whnraver district conventions have been held to nominate candidates for Congres?, the same cordial and un stinted approval has been expressed. Publio sentiment shows that the Democratic President is more popular with the people than the Democratic Houaeof Representatives, and mem bers who have been nominated for re election will make the canvass turn npon the general approval or dlsap provalfof Cleveland's a (ministration, which they know is s'ronger than themsolves and even the Damocratio party. It Is no'iceable that tbe Re publican leaders rocognizi the disad vantage at which they stand in this regard, and time of them even incline to say that they do not think It would be a good thing for their party to gain the next Congress. They have not any prospect of getting it and the grapes are therefore sour, There can be no Republican success with the administration enjoying the measure of publio confidence which it plainly has. The talk of the campaign will be of the tariff, and ths publio lands, and the taxes and the expendi tures, with a feeble Republican howl at the President's vetoes, in a vain at tempt to prejudice the soldier vote; and perhaps there will be a mora ex citing issue of foreign policy if the Mexican cloud amounts to anything; but when all these issues are dls cussed, the deciding question will be whether the administration is ap proved; and the united voice of the Democratic party in every Btale in tbe Union clearly indicates the universal popu'arlty of the President. Jack' son, Polk and Grant had the confidence and full indorse ments of their respective paitles. But Cleveland is stronger than hia party, for while the Democrats will gladly make the fall elections turn upon approval or condemnation of his administration, he will have tbe support of good men who care noth ing for parties only so far as they con tribute to good government and ad miuietratlve reform. Men who cara nothing for olllcei and earnestly de sire civil service reform see in Presi dent Cleveland a careful, honest, con scientious man, and while he is hated by a few spoilsmen in his own party, the Democritlc masses are with him and for blm. President Cleve land has been beset by many emba"- rasaments, hut he bos triumphed and stands bright and beautiful as a etar, Mbtakeo friends have tempted him, epoilMii in hava denounced him, parti sail opponents have tried to Ms his hands, partisan newspapers have re viled him, uion who should have sup ported mm in tho great and ar duous work he lias undertaken ha70 , diverted him and tried to inspire distrust toward him. Of fles seekers bavs pronounced him a failure, and offlce?suckeri have proclaimed him an enemy to their kind. But with it all, and in spite of It all, he stands todny where be stood a year and mora ag), and the people of the country, Democrats and Republi cans alUe, recognize him as their rep resentative above all other representa tive Americans, and are rangiDg them solves befiJe and behind 1dm in ever and rapidly increasing numbers. From Maine to Texas, and from California to Florida, the people unite In the opin ion that Cleveland is the greataet power in tho land for good.. They need him far more than he needs the Presidency. 'They have bestowed upon him the highest trust In their gift and be has kept faith with them. He does not want a second term, but they know what he has done, and what he is trying to do, and they know that no other man can perforin the same work so well. If they want the work to be continued they know who is tbe man to ca-ry it on, and will call for him In their own way when his present term is finished Cleveland would bs a stronges candi date In 1838 than he was in 1884. In the Inst conlott Pion'e had to take liHn on trust, but he would go into the next canvass witn a record true to ms pudges. ' - . i f'orfit 1'lrea la WUco)Bla Vying wai.

Terry startled bis Little Rock Mends by Binding to bis brother, W. h. Teiry, here, toe following message from Hot Springs: "I am satisfied that injustice has been done me in Logan county by ex cluding Terry votes from tne prima ries, vet. in order to preserve ana per- netaate harmony in the Democratic party, l nave conciuueu mat n is nest for me to withdraw from the race, There fa no doubt however, but what Garland county is overwhelmingly for me and my mends regret to see me lay down the sword." This news, wbile it caused universal surprise among all onr citizens is. at the same time, applauded by the Colonel's friends, because it was senerally con ceded that be would have entered the for.bcomins convention with sum cient strength to nominate him, but for the sake of harmony. lor tne per petuation of party unity in the dis trict, Col. Terry has buried fcr the 1 L. 1 1 . V .. 0, Ume U1B HUJU1UUU IU UDWIUD n OUU' greisman, and says he is willing to work for the success of Judge Roger Ha leaves the canvass with tbe satisfaction of having narrowed tbe contest down to tbe vote of one county. No one knew Terry outside of tbisand one or two other counties when be declared his intention of entering the field against Judge Rogers. He has left behind him a record for thoroughness of political details, for organization of forces in new fields, that is worthy ot emula tion, and while his withdrawal from the present raco is highly creditable, two years, however, will see Terry march to the front with a phalanx that no man in tbe district can suc cessfully battle against. He Is young, and two years will be a pleasant breathing spell for hlra. Rogers will now have no opposition. THC PCLA.KI CONVENTION. The city is lull of delegates to tbe County Democratic Convention to morrow. Tonight the friends of tbe different shrievalty candidates are can vassing, as also a e thqse Jf-ir other county officers. Col. Joe Griffith, who has served in the capacity for a num ber of years, is a candidate for County Treasurer. II. E. Gladwell is his op ponent, and it ia thouuht will be suc cessful in his effo'ta for the nomina tion. Col. George W. Oaiutb, a lawyer of considerable prominence, win to morrow publish his withdrawal from the State Becatonal rce of this county, r ving as his reason therefor r uiii i engagements which comnel h m tt i absent irom the city. It is more nan likely the Democrats and Kepr cans win ootn nut out full tickets a i oter the cam paign with a determination to let the best man win. Col. Andenon Mills, Ed Blanks and Will Reaves are the timber contesting the Sheriff's posi tion. and are all first ciae, aoie men but tbe present excellent official, Watt B. Worthen, will undoubtedly be re nominated on the first ballot. GOV. HUGHS today offered a reward of $300 for the apprehension of Thomas Mull, ths rich planter, who so unceremoniously shot down and killed Frank Thomas at Holly Grove, Monroe county, this Sta'e, Sunday last. The Sheriff to-day torwirdul a compute description oi Mull to the Governor, and says he baa made every efloit to capture him. The murderer is one of tbe wealth iest men in Monroe county, and killed Thomas, who was an in dustrious rrechanio, simply because Thomas asked Mull for pay for the digging of a well on one of Mull's plan tations near Holly Grove. Mull is about 45 yearj of age, dark gray hair, with a f rink, open face. 1 1 is thought he Is biding out on one of his plant lions, and that the authorities will have little trouble in apprehending him, now the reward has been ottered for h's arrest.
