Malcolm it. Patterson was gover-
nor of the state at the time the Car-
mai k-Taylor fight, and he announc-
ed liis candidancy for re-election,
C'arma<k. just beaten for the sen-
ate, was urged into the race for gov-
ernor against Patterson. This was
last June and the light between the
men for the Democratic nomination
was the most spectacular ever seen
in Tennessee. Again, joint debates
were arranged and agaiu the feeling
between the factions grew very bit-
ter. Ih these debates, Cooper charg-
ed that Carmack assailed the colo-
nel's good name. Cooper was an ar-
dent Patterson man—the governor
on the stand described him as "my
closest personal and political advis-
er.' Again. C'armack lost. and. a
month before the election, became
editor of the Nashville Tennesean.
He made the race on the prohibition
platform, and while he did not get
the nomination, he did secure enough
representatives to assure the pas-
sage of the so-called state wide liqu-
or bill.
In the meantime, Governor Patter-
son and former Governor Cox, once
deadly enemies, were reconciled.
The Tcnnessean charged that Col-
onel Cooper brought this reconcilia-
tion about, and referred to it in a
humorous and sarcastic vein in its
editorial columns. Carmack also in
timated that, to save Governor Pat-
terson. the Democratic leaders were
preparing to trade Bryan for the
governorship. Colonel Cooper was
chafing under the comment, and be-
coming more incensed every day. on
Sunday, November 8, the day before
the killing, the following editorial
appeared in the Tennessean:
Across the Muddy Chasm."
We trust there will be no unseem-
ly ribaldry on the part of the base
vulgar concerning the happy re-union
of long sundered hearts w hich was
accomplished in the joyous reconcil-
iation of His Excellency, Hon. M. 3.
Patterson and His Excellency, Hon.
John Isaac Cox. All honor to the

noble spirit, Major Duncan Brown
Cooper, who wrought this happy re-
union of congenial and eonfluxib'e
spirits separated by evil fates al-
though both for each other. All
honor to Major Duncan and may tli •
blessing of the Peacemaker be upon
him. May lie4 be heir to all th"
beatitudes, and especially to the
blessing reserved for those who hun-
ger and thirst after righteousness
And there goes also a blessing to IDs
Excellency- for as he has been mer-
ciful to Cox. so shall he obtain mercy.
"But the choicest blessing as is
right and proper, are for Governor
Cox himself. For if there be any re-
ward for meekness, and any for en-
during persecution for righteousnes ?
sake, he shall inherit the earth an.l
liis Is the kingdom of heaven. Yet
such is the meekness of his spirit
that we doubt not that Governor Co<
would be entirely comforted with the
meek man's reward.
"If we pause here brieflly to re-
view the unhappy differences that
have armed these valiant souls
against each other, it is for no pur-
pose of renewing the strife, but rath-
er of emphasizing by contrast, the
felicity of the present situation. It
w ill serve also, to bring out in bold
relief the gracious spirit which en-
ables Governor Patterson to conde-
scend to men of low estate, lift up
where he had been trampled down
and lay a poultice of warm words
upon the reputation he has so fear-
fully bruised It will teach also
those who most unjustly have re-
garded Governor Cox as a man of
proud and haughty spirit, that he is
in fact, a man of 'modest stillness
aud humility' one who can forget
injuries the most grievous, forgive
insults the most tlagrant. indure
even assault upon his honor and
good name without resentment, and.
lu general, humble himself that he
may be exalted. It will also show
that no oue can ever sin away his
day of grace with the present all-
nierciful machine, that no man can
ever be so vile, so degraded, so cor-
rupt in its estimation that it is not
ready to raise him up and load him
with dignity and honors if lie only
will give up everything and serve 't
with fidelity and singleness of
heart.
"It will be remembered that Gov-
ernor Patterson professed to have
only one great motive in seeking the
office of governor—the wholly pat-
riotic and unselfish desire to purge
the state of the shame and infamy
brought upon it by Cox and the Cox
machine lie openly declared that
he would rather some other than he
had the task and the honor, but Ills
soul would not consent that such a
man as Cox should be governor of
Tennessee. He charged that Cox
had degraded and debauched the
politics of the state: he represented
him as the pliant tool of the saloon
and the corporations: he charged
that he was Democratic only iu
name, a Republican in fact, he call
ed him a traitor to the Democratic
party ' Not only that, but he vic-
iously assailed his personal honor.
he pictured him in the bitterest
I words in his vocabulary as a com-
mon grafter. And the whole crew
! joined their voices in one universal
.chorus of denunciation — 'crook.'
j grafter.' corrupt politician,' "cheap
lohn demagogue.' -such were the
words that Hew thick and fast from
.the mouths of Duncan II. Cooper
I and all the leaders in the geat
movement to reform and purge and
purify the state, to destroy the pow-
j er of the political machine and re-
store power to the people of Tenne-
see. The whole campaign was con-
I ducted with a view not only to defeat
i governor Cox, but to load him with
j infamy andUrive him out of the pol-
j itics of Tennessee. So far was this
carried, that after Governor Patter-
son had been nominated for the state
j senate. Major Cooper journed to
Bristol for the purpose of getting
out an independent candidate
against him.
"These facts will serve to glori v
the recent pact of peace. It shows
how far Governnor Patterson had to
stoop, how much Governor Cox had
to forgive and matches an infinite
condension with an infinite humility.
Of course, there are other details.
When Governor Cox was summoned
to Nashville, some weeks ago, it w«i3
not simply for the purpose of falling
on somebody's neck or having some-
body fall upon his. There are hon-
ors and divinities and offices and
substantial rewards to be distributed!
things that go to heal the huit
that honor feels and these thing*
were talked of and considered.
Hut no doubt, the main thing:
was that Governor Cox agreed to join
himself with Han Murray, Dune
Cooper and Sparrel Hill and aid then
in their battle for the Holy Cause
of Local Self Government."
liy local government Carmack
meant the tight against prohibition.
The liquor interests led by the gov-
ernor declared in favor of local op-
tion and of letting each community
settle the saloon question for itself
Colonel Cooper upon reading this
editorial, sent the famous message to
Carmack: "If my name appears in
the Tennessean again one of us must
die." The warning was delivered to
Senator Carmack by Ex-State Treas-
urer Craig. Carmack said that Col-
onel Cooper's threat had made a
cessation of the editorials impossible
that if the Tennessean never again
used Cooper's name, the public would
believe that the paper had been
bluffed and that it would lose caste.
So on Monday. November $. the day
of the killing, there appeared in thel
Tennessean this editorial:
"The Diplomat of the Sweibund." j
"To Major Duncan Brown Cooper
who wrought the great coalition:
w ho ac hieved the harmonious con-
fluence of incompatible elements,
who welded the pewter handle to I
the wooden spoon, who grafted the
dead bough on to the living tree audi
made it to bloom and bourgeon and |
bend with golden fruit, who made
playmates of the lamb and the leap-
ard and boon companions of the!
spider and the fly. who made soda
and vinegar to dwell placidly in the
same bottle and who taught oil and
water liovv they might agree—to Ma-
jor Duncan Brown Cooper, the great
diplomat of the political Sweibund
be all honor and glory forever."
What happened next is history.
The state's witneses say that Car-
mack was shot down from behind,
while he was in the act of raising
his hat to a lady - Mrs. Eastman.
The Coopers swear that they walked
across the street to reason with Car-
mack and that he opened fire at
once, wounding Kobin, who there-
upon and in self-defense fired th°
shots which killed the editor.
