NASHVILLE, May 20.-The dele
gates 20 the Republican State COnven-
tiOn met al the Capitol this morning,
Having been called 10 order, Mr..
Pearne, of Knoxville, friend of Sen
ter, was temporarily appointed Chair
man.
Some Of the delegates refused to re-
cOgnize his appointment, and a scene
of much confusion followed, and with
out making any progress towards or
ganizatiOn an adjournment 10 p m.
was carried.
The meeting in the afternoon was
but a repetition of the noisy and tu-
multuOus scenes OF the morning. At
tempts We're made by several speakers
TO throw oil on the troubled waters,
but unsuccessfuily. Late in the after
noon a personal difficulty occurred be-
tween two delegates Nelson, of
Knoxville, and II. r. Butler-both
gentlemen drawing pistols. This in
creased the hubbub, in the midst Of
which q motion to adjourn till 10 am.
tomorrow was made and carried.
The rivalry between Senter and
Stokes is exceedingly bitter, but it is
reported tonight that Senter intends
to put stop to il by withdrawing.
The friends of Stokes have been conf
dent of his nomination, but the result
Of Senter's withdrawal may be the
nomination Of a new man on whom
all can unite.
