THE SENATORIAL CONTEST--TEHE
LATEST INTELLIGENCE.

Conservatives in the Legislature opposed
his (ex-?resident Johnson's) election, and
SO did the Radicals
That the Radicals did so, we are well
aware but it viii certainly be news to
the people of Tennessee that the Conscr-
NATIVES also opposed his election.
If the Banner can give names and
figures TO sustain this assertion, 1t will Ger
tainly correct the present general impress
sion. Mr.. johnson was the only candi-
date, who, at any time, receiyeda majority
of the Conservative vote. When Judge
Cooper was elected, he only received four
more votes than Mr.. johnson. But, SAYS
the Banner, ''Themost intensely proscrip-
tive Of all the Stokes Radicals in that
Assembly voted for Mr. johnson. Who
were theyl Give us the names. Was it
Agee, or Singletary, or Mcconnell, or any
other Of the twelve Radical apostles in
the House Was it Nelson, or Cason, or
any other Radical in the Senate? Who
was it? Who was it that was approached
with offers Of money 70 vote for Mr.
johnson and indignantly spurned the
base proposal Is there any man in
Tennessee, even Of Mr. Johnson's most
bitter enemies, that believes him guilty Of
an ATTEMPT al bribery. But saws The
