The Milan exchange. (Milan, Gibson County, Tenn.) 1874-1978, 1875-01-28
THURSDAY. JAN. %, 1875.
TIE AGONY OYER.

EX-IreslQelL AnuTeN JOililSOu was
elected to the United States Senate by
our Legislature last Tuesday, on the
ffty-ffth ballot. This has been one
of the hardest-fought Senatorial con-
tests ever witnessed in this State, and
the friends of the different gentlemen
aspiring to this exalted position have
worked earnestly and faithfully as
long as they had hope. Great crowds
thronged the Capitol during the bal
lettings, and all Nashville was excited
to fever heat. Editorially, We took
no part in the race, having full conf
dence in the good judgment of the
Legislature and its ability TO select
the best man. Personally, We have
liked other men better than Mr. John.
son, and, if we had been q member of
the General Assembly, would proba-
bly, have voted against him until near
the last ballot; but We believe that
body has done the best that could be
done. He can do US more good than
any man we could send to the U. S.
Senate, many think, and We hope all
will unite in sustaining him now, let
ting "bygones be hygones. There is
great rejoicing in other States besides
Tennessee, as it is considered an event
