A SENSIBLE, sober sided view of the
Congressional situation in the First
District is taken by the MorristolCn
Gazette. There is no chance whatever
for Democratic candidate, and the
Gazette therefore refuses, courteously
but firmly, to publish a call for con-
vention at Greeneville on the lst prox.
1t says:
We have talked with representative
men from almost every county, and
have not found man who favored a
convention, except those who have
Congressional aspirations, and their
special friends. We do not believe the
DemocTaticparty of this district desires
any member Of its organization to
make a martyr of himself Just at this
time, and consequently shall give no
aid or encouragement to the proposed
assemblage. As We have heretofore
remarked, the race is assuredly free to
all Let as many run Independent as
wish; but we cannot be induced To ia
vOr, as a party measure, that which
will inevitably stir up political rancor
and result IN disastrous party damage

the disturbance is absurd. The affair was
over before suspicion of it was entertained
by a respectable white person in CaddO,
