Special Dispatch to the Chronicle.
NASHVILLE, Dec. 9.
Upon a final consultation by the
governor and secretary Of state to-day,
1t was found that they could not agree
on the StewarteF out case, that is as TO
which of the two was elected JOINT
representative from the counties OF
Polk and Bradley. Governor Marks
insists that Stewart, democrat, was
elected, and ought to be awarded
the certificate, while Secretary
Gibbs insists that it was a tie
vote. AS a vacancy exists, the
governor can not call another cleo"
ton, until instructed to do 80 by
the house OF representatives,, which
has the power to decide the question,
unless required to take action by
mandamue.
With Stewart and Fout out OF the
way, Jas. Warner, the greenbacker.
from McNairy county, will become an
important factor in the organization ot
the house. IF he votes with
the democrats they will have
its organization in their hands'
If he votes with the re.
publlcans they will have majority OF
two and will organize.
It is probable that there will be O
heavy fight over the organization oi
the house. II prolonged over the first
Tuesday of the session of the legisla'
ture, the election Of a United States
senator will be postponed one week
longer, the law requiring that the elec'
tion of @ senator shall occur on the
second Tuesday after the organization
of both houses.

November 18th there has been little
or no picking done in consequence
of wet and cold weather. Should
wet or cold weather continue much
of the cotton remaing unpicked will
be lost.

The MayOralty.

Mr.. EDITOR: I desire to second the
suggestion of Non-partisan," in yes
terday mornings CHRONICLE in rela-
ton to the office of mayor. It seems
that all parties have agreed to have q
mayor this coming year, rather than a
political figure>head. In this instance,
when Knoxville needs capacity st its
head, the Office seeks the man, and Mr..
Tillman has shown by the manner in
which he has presented the question
of our city debt that he knows our
wants. Who of the ether sspirants
have shown that they know anything
about our financial status.
By all means let US have candidate
who knows what are the real wants oil
our growing city, and who has the
courage to present his measures.
A FRIEND OF PROGRESS.
