proposition for convention to revise the consttu-

Bledsoe, Cannon, Cheatham, Decatur, and Monroe
In the counties of Hancock, Meigs, Morgan, Scott,

been opened for Supreme Judge. The vote stands
for WR1GHr u, 769 and for WALKER 6,9l4; majority
for WRIGHT 5,855-fOr convention 4,2O4, against
convention q, AIS; majority against convention 49,

The vote cast for Judge will fall behind that for
Governor in 1867 about 900. The proposition
for convention to amend the constitution required
a vote equal to majority of the votes cast in the
election for Governor last year, which was IoO'Soo
