Most of the members leave to.
night for home, all feeling proud o.
the order to which they belong, and
confident of its continued rapid
growth, usefulness and permanency
One of the prominent delegates
in attendance was Hon. B. ]. Lea
of Brownsville, and as he is under.
stood to be a candidate for Judgt
of the Supreme Court, l will herr
switch off from the A. o. U. W. Il
the Judicial canvass which is jus
opening, although l have no
been here long enough to learr
much about public sentiment
on inside movements. Colone
Lea, besides being agood lawyer, j
one Of the finest looking men il
the State, and is as polite as he j
good looking. He has lately mad
a trip up in East Tennessee, go
ing as far as Blountyille, and wa
at that place the other day whe.
Colonel John Il. Savage, prOspec
tive candidate for governor, spok
at that place, and l am rot sui
prised to learn that the stalwar
West TenneSseean made a very ia
vorable impression. 1t seems to b
understood here that East Tennel
see will come down to the judicis
convention, on the 29th Of Ma
solid for Deaderick and McFarlan
from that end Of the State. Ho
they will go for others l cannot sa
The respective friends Of Snee
Turney and Morgan all claim co.
siderable moral support al
strength for these excellent gent
men in that end Of our remarkab
elongated State. Hon. John J
Barton, of Murfreesboro, seems
be gaining considerable strength
Middle Tennessee as a candida
for the Supreme bench. The de.
gates from Rutherford county we
instructed at a county convent
the other day to use all honoral
means in the judicial convent
of the Goth prox. to secure his no
ination. So he starts out at LEI
with his own county to back hil
and it is a strong, infuent
county. He comes of a talent
family, is thoroughly cultured
law and in letters, has devoted !
whole life to his profession, and
believe this is the first time
has sought or agreed to acct
any official position. NAt lie
he Las never turned politici
or gone outside Of his profession
seek promotion. Judge Turney
also a strong candidate, for he
both able and popular. Ju(
