s, and Ewing s. Col. Savage's name
was withdrawn on the eleventh bal
lot. His friends divided between
johnson, Bate and Stephens. On the
eleventh ballot Gov. Browns vote
reached twenty but afterwards fell
back to IL. On the fourteenth ballot,
Johnson reached his highest vote,
which was thirty-four. After the
eighth ballot Senator Turley, of Knox,
who put Johnson in nomination,
voted steadily for Gov. Brown.
There is very strong feeling pre-
vailing tonight against Johnson. The
spirit of the opposition, anybody TO
beat Andy" now seems to be gaining
strength. Johnson's friends are less
hopeful, but they will continue 10 fight
for him with undated vigor.
1t is rumored tonight that Gen.
Quarles will be withdrawn tomorrow.
Unless the johnson forces succeed
in forming combination tonight
there can be no election Tomorrow.

EAKER PAtSE's ACTION.
special 90 Knoxville Chronicle.


NASHVILLE Jan. 25tb, 1890 p. Ne
The action of Speaker Paine in having
the Senate withdraw from the Convention
today, is all the talk at the hotels and on
the streets tonight. AS he is an anti
johnson man, it will doubtless give John
son additional strength tomorrow, and the
johnson men claim tonight that he will
certainly be elected on the first ballot to-
morrow.
johnson was at the capitol to day, before
the voting began, and while there he re-
ceived telegram fIom prominent men of
Mississippi, congratulating him on his
prospects of an election.
The anti-Johnson men are now
holding caucus. 1t is reported
at the hotels that Judge Lea, of Nashville,
will support johnson tomorrow.

day bill providing for the employment in

NASHVILLE, Jan. 20, Y. NJ.
nthe assembling of the Convention at
noon to-day, the galleries were packed to
their utmost capacity. Speaker Paine
made strong appeal to the audience for
order. Everything remained quiet until
the announcement of the 54th ballot. The
denomination of Gov. Brown was received
with tremendous applause. Amid the most
intense excitement and suspense the Clerks
began the call Of the roll for the 55th bal.
lot, Soon after the Clerks began the roll
call, the name of Gen. Bate was withdrawn.
A most disgraceful scene of disorder and
confusion followed. The tumult reminded
many of the heated conventions,
when the war spirit was at its high
est. The efforts of the Speaker to
control the audience and Convention
were unavailing. A dozen members
claimed the floor. Not one of them could
be heard amid the noise. At this critical
juncture Speaker Paine adjourned the Cons
vention amid shouts of approval and storms
of Kisses, jeers, indignation and profanity.
The Senate retired to its chamber. The
House adjourned until tomorrow morning
at 10 o'clock
ALL SIDES MAD OVER THE ADJOURNMENT.

would certainly have been elected, had the

kilograms have been received here to-day

ceived kilograms from W. j. Betterton, of
Kingston, and Ben. Wheeler, of Careyville,
urging him to vote for johnson. He
changed his vote to-day accordingly and is
now for the "Great Commoner

Every member is now present, so it will
take 81 votes to elect tomorrow.
A special train was sent from Memphis

Johnsons friends are now con fldent that
they will defeat Brown tomorrow. 1t is
believed that if the latter's friends find this
is true, they will withdraw the ex-Gover-
nor's name tomorrow. 1t is now claimed
by Johnson's friends that many Of Bates
friends will vote for the ex-President to-
morrow. The election can not be DELAYED
much longer. Public sentiment demands
that the contest be settled at once. The
outside pressure for johnson is growing
more powerful all the time. The excite
ment is beyond all description,

WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.-It is said by one
of the most prominent Republican Sena-
tors that during the present week a joint
resolution will be introduced recognizing
the Kellogg Government, irrespective of
Pinchback's admission as a Senator from

some have privately suggested is out of the

A Picture OF American Life.

The letter We print this morning from the
home Of Phil Sheridan will be read with deep
interest. 1t is a picture of q lowly, humble
life. which has gained its lustre from the
celebrated General whose fame will always
irradiate the little town OF Somerset In q
country like ours, where we are democratic TO
the last degree: where we have neither titles
nor entailed estates nor hereditary advan-
tages where any career is open to the talents
and the viii requisite TO achieve it, the early
life Of man like General Sheridan is full Of
instruction. We see what is possible to the
poorest citizen. Here we have plain, simple
laborer, peasant from far-distant Ireland,
VINO comes TO America, with his young wife
and child, to try his fortunes in the New
World. IL represents the class which have
for centuries suffered under the harsh
rule Of England. He comes q refugee from a
stern, cold and cruel destiny. lie becomes
laborer, carrying stones for the builders. But
he Is honored and remembered by his neighbors
and friends for lis integrity and purity Of life
Opportunity enables one Of his children TO
obtain an education and enter the service of
his country and to find career which
makes him, even in his youth, one Of the most
celebrated men 81 his time. There j. not an
1rishman, like John sheridan, Of the thou
sands who came like him to seek livelihood
IN America who will not rejoice in tie fact
that our institutions enabled the child OF his
loins to bring honor to his name and his
house. There is not the son Of an Irishman
who will not read with eager eye and glowing
cheek how this young man broke away from
those twin jailers Of the daring heart, low

Disasters ut sea.

IN addition to the wreck Of the steamship
Schiller, with the terrible loss Of life which
was its consequence, We hear every day or
two Of other disasters At sea arising from
similar causes. The steamer CITY IL Brussels.
of tho Imam Line, grounded yesterday
IN fog Of the coast Of ireland.
but fortunately she foated al high
water, and being uniniures proceeded on her
voyage. From Australia We have reports OF
tile loss Of an American bark with all on
board. AT the same time We hear from sgd
noy that the first 81 the direct line OF steamers
between that port and London was 10 sail
April ~, and that every effort would be made
to bent the time Of the mails carried
by the Cyphrones by way Of San Fran
cisco. II is to desire like this
that many 81 our ocean disasters are trace
able, and the managers Of steamship compa-
MES ought to know that with the travelling
public safety is preferable to speed. Nayiga-
ton has not made the progress in the direc-
