SPECULATIoSs.
Hon. Dorsey b. Thomas is strong-how
strong, we would hardly dare to say, at
this juncture-in all three divisions Of the
~NtANC- hN vi AAaNN OLNA WI
for him i'm a way that cannot be developed
until the first ballot is taken. He and
Judge Porter will have hot fight of it for
the West Tennessee vote.
Shelby county l. split between Wright
Ensley and Morgan. Should these be drop
ped, only the Memphis politicians can tell
where the strength Of the delegation would
be likely to 90.
Marks looms up most prominently in Mid
die tennessee. Seven counties have in
structed for him and he has good following
in others. Burns is sure of Davidson, Mont
gOmery and two other counties, with a
steadily increasing popularity that prom
iSes TO make him more formidable than his
most sanguine friends had anticipated.
East Tennessee has shown her hand but
little, as yet, but il is almost absolutely
certain that she will 90 pretty much one
way. The Grange is all-powerful in that
section, and the man was picked out
months ago.

man, Washington and Wayne. In Dyer

For Saeed-OyertOn.
For Netherldni-Haw kins,
The other counties are. as Tar as We can
learn, uniIlStructed.
Dorsey Is. Thomas Is the man whom the
other candidates will have to beat. The
UNION AND AMERICAN reporters have
found it out by ceasless button-holing and
interviewing, and when the first ballot is
taken his competitors viii come to the same
conclusion,
As TO the Craftsmanship or the cOnven-
tiOn or the principles to be laid down in the
platform, very little has been said so far
Everybody understands the peril of precip-
itate action, and no pipes have been laid
except IN very quiet way.
The basis of representation in the conven-
tiOns Of 1870 and 1872 was twelve votes to
every representative in tho Gsnelal Assem-
bly, and twelve votes for every Floater to be
divided among the counties composing the
Pictorial district in proportion to the vote
cast by each county.

S. Gillespie, Of the Hamilton allegation,

egation.
Col. g. 4. Henry, of Montgomery, is

man Gf the Convention, and will be strong
ly urged for that position.
