PATTERSON'S CHIEF STRENGTH In analyzing the campaign now in progress between Gov Pattereon and ex-Seliator Carinack it will Lc found that the formers chief etrength is accentuated by the latter's chief weakness Gov Patterson's strength has many centitituent elements one of these are negligible in forming a synthesis but many some ef them at overlooked Potent among them is the Democratic custom oiapreceaent of indorsing a Governor who has lived up to the pledges of hie party's platform and who bus permitted no scandal to tarnish his administration To depar from this custom or precedent would be to confess that an improper or incompetent man had been elected to the Governorship and this would be a reflection on the Jude nent and probity of the party which ould it militate against its strength befo the people in future campaigns and it is never done unless conditions demand and justify it The great baidy of Democrats love their party and believe in its principles and are not concerned to any extent in the struggle for place and poeitc by individuals These re-bent any reflection or attack upon their party or its chosen authorities They tray not agree with everything their party does but they submit to it in Its final audit and will defend it against hostile criticism from any tiource so-aver This gives a powerful though a subjective force to the strength of preea talent which escapes the attention of many Gov Patterson's statemanship since being inducted to office has been of the constructive variety It has accont- phshed things necessary and wise It has been conservative rather than Ostentatious consistent rather than eplendidly erratic and it has pursuei the even tenor of its way without any attempt at fitful flashes or meteoric trillianeles i His administration has ben almost prosaic in its close adhereoce to Nate and' approved business principles The mines the State inatitutions and the public schools have been wisely managed and the old onfielerate solCirs have been tenderly cared fur and while much more money has been eaent in maintainin these institutions than hitherto the public treasury has not euffered and is stronger today than cacr before Gov Patterson's pardons that have been assailed with such unreasonable malevolenee are really a source of strength to him Ile allowed no one tc go forth who vas not entitled to ficedoin and he has personally gone to the relief of those who were friendless and neglected One strong element in Goy Patterscies strength is the fact that he haa liatel up to the platform upon vhich he was elected and has never departed from it or transcended its authority He has been a etickler for this and a ielded only once at the earnest solicitation of a class of citizens who are row aeballing him and seeking his def(at There Is no reason for his retirement and there is every reason for his I ndorsement Another elament of streneth is his obvieus sincerity his dauntless eaurage his dignity toil honesty and hie ntagnetia oratry Before the people he aa perhaps the atrongest man that has been in Tennessee politiee sine the elder days cvhen the intellectual giants walked the earth lie is said to be a poor politician 8 nd he is in the modern meaning of the ord lie is neAer effueae and while he is friendly anti cordial there is al-a ays an air of digniflea aloof fleas about him which admonishes those Wan approaeh him that he realizes his position and the honor NVIlitli thA PPi 'pie have coeferred on him' In thisaa ay he has alienated few friends alto fancied that the individual hall not been ehte shed In tho Governor and that pereonal attention to them should come before publia duty but this is an elen ent of strength rather than of weakoees in the last anatysis Gay Patteraon's chief strength inaludea many thing but his upright-Fees and devetion to duty stool out Pt oininent ly "Blake or Tennessee" has the storm ecllar all to his lonesome everybody seems to have taken sides May Succeed Taggert Ao the Editor of The American: It has recently been stated in Northern rapers that the vonsent of Congress wdl soon be baked for the erection of a mehtiment to the 'memory of Gen Meigs who during the late war between the States and for some years aubsequent thereto had been the Quart 01-ma5ter den-rat of the UnIted States Army It appears that a citizen of chicago has to pay the cost of such monument If Congress WIII accept it and provide a site As a vigorous protest agatast an Inch' action by Congress I beg leave to submit a statement of certain incidents and fata coming under my own observation on this proposal In the fall of that year IS1 business of a private nature caused me to make a trip from Alemphis Tenn my then place of residence to Minneapolis Minn pasa Mg through

attention was attracted to a short rial condemning In strong tertns the recent action of tile War Department in ordering that the graves of the Confed Hereto prisoners of war who had died In the military prison situated on the large island oppoeite that city should be plow ea over and erased On this Island was also located the largest arsenal in the West all under the command 'of Mai Flagler of the Ordnance Department Not crediting that such an act of van- lifitn Was possible seven years after the close of that conflict I took a carriage with a friend crossed over to the Hand determined to ascertain the facts On reaching the burial ground the statement of the morning paper (width: WaS UbliCall 111 politics) waa -snore than true The burial place cOntained several hundred graves The cheap board fence had been removed: some ten to twelve headstones or marble appropriately insetibod had been piled loosely together in a corner of the lot and the ground well pkov ed over the mounds over the graves being thoroughly "erased" The morbio headstones were evidently furnished by relatives of the delta noldters in the South Careful notes were taken of It names on the headstones giving COMMny and regiment the inecription Indicating they were mostly from Mississippi Tennessee and Alabama tifterwartie estimated the cost of replaing this fence its cost being the ostensible reason for
